The Moment
Chapter 15 - The Moment
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
They gathered together. Oh, there were many shouts of “Hey, move over!” or “Bunch up, there,” or “Moody, get off my foot!”, but in the end all it took was a moment to capture the Order together.
There in all the good-natured humor and loving jests towards each other, they managed to settle down long enough to get a picture taken. In the back row, Kingsley, Dedalus and Arabella Figg stood on lifts next to Hagrid, who had no need of a lift. In the next row, Moody, McGonagall, and Dumbledore stood behind Harry and to his left. The next row consisted of Mundungus, Tonks, Draco, and Remus, who was directly to Harry’s left and held with him a picture of the late Sirius Black. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Bill, and Charlie stood behind Harry and to his right. Directly to Harry’s right stood Snape, his hand on Harry’s shoulder. Next to him were Fred, George, and Ginny Weasley. Kneeling in front and to the left of Harry were the smiling faces of Hermione and Neville with Crookshanks. And kneeling at the right were Ron and Dobby with Hedwig, Pig, and a picture of Buckbeak, who was too large and skittish to stand for so long. Harry was in the middle with Fawkes perched on his lap, focusing on this one moment when they were together. Almost all of them for one moment that would be frozen in time, as Harry reflected that this moment may never come again. . .
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
/In this world of circumstance
Children never fear forever
And this moment that enchants
Someday we may both remember/
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
He smiled as he heard Fred and George trying to give Ginny rabbit ears, and thought that if they could still manage to come together with all of the losses and hardships the Order had gone though, that maybe they might stand a chance of surviving into the future.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
/Then
Maybe then
If we are still alive
Then
Maybe then
This moment will survive/
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Mr. Weasley was the one who had brought the muggle camera and stand; Tonks had brought her Wizard 200oth oth cameras were timed to go off at any moment. Harry stroked Fawkes’ feathers, and looked at the camera wondering who, years from now, would be gazing back at them.
“5 seconds!” Mr. Weasley called and the wizards all straightened their backs and then he heard Dumbledore’s voice saying,
“Say ‘Hello Friends!’” and they all yelled the suggested phrase as Dumbledore placed his hand on Draco’s shoulder. The flash bulbs went off and purple smoke filled the air.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
/There is time in every word
There are words in every reason
And these notes that are unheard
One day they may find their season/
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Harry liked the ‘hello friends!’ that they spoke better then the Muggle ‘cheese!’ Harry had suggested since the wizard pictures moved and waved, a hello from the past would mean more in the future. Especially if not all of them made it through.
It was the idea that they might not all be around to grow old and look back with fond memories that gave Harry a bittersweet smile in the photo, as he wondered what the future would hold and which of them would be still be around to remember the day this picture was taken. It made Harry sad, but happy at the thought that maybe, now that the picture was taken, the moment would survive, even if all of the people in the photo didn’t.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
/Then
Maybe then
If we are still alive
Then
Maybe then
This moment will survive/
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The evening ended late. As the each member of the Order slowly went back to their own homes, each of them clutched at two pictures to keep; one unmoving muggle picture and one moving wizarding picture. When Harry was alone, back in his room at number 4 Privet Drive, he put his muggle photo in a frame and looked at everyone captured for that one moment. All of them together. Their futures intertwined and brought together as they would never have guessed if fate had taken a different turn somewhere along the line. Harry touched the faces that had touched his life, glad that they had a way to remember each other, even if they didn’t all survive.
Harry didn’t know that the words, the hello from the past, had been the same words caught in a similar picture, taken just over fifteen years ago, whose subjects had been thinking the same thoughts. . .

If we are still alive
