"Beyond the Veil"
An OoP "Hogwarts Story" filk to "Somewhere," from "West Side Story."

I had intended to write (and post) these in the order in which they appear
in the musical, but I've decided to scrap that idea and instead post them
as they come to me. So you're getting this one now (which comes rather near
the end, as you might guess). 



(Scene: HARRY and LUNA are talking in a hallway near the Fat Lady's
corridor, not long before catching the Hogwarts' Express home at the end of
term).


HARRY (spoken*): Have you . . . I mean, who . . . has anyone you've known
ever died?
 
LUNA (spoken): Yes. My mother. One of her spells went rather badly wrong
one day. I was nine.

HARRY: I'm sorry.

LUNA: I still feel very sad about it sometimes. But it's not as though I'll
never see her again, is it?

HARRY: Er - isn't it?

LUNA: Oh come on. You heard them, just behind the veil, didn't you?

HARRY: You mean . . . 

LUNA (sung):

They will wait for us.
Our loved ones wait for us.
Those whose voices were whispering,
Wait for us 
Somewhere.

HARRY (sung):
Just beyond the veil,
They wait beyond the veil.
Sirius and my mum and dad.
We've no need to be sad.
Somewhere!

LUNA:
Someday!
All this world's wrongs will be righted.

HARRY:
With them we'll be reunited,
Someday.

LUNA & HARRY:
Just beyond the veil,
They wait beyond the veil.
Those we love are not really gone;
We will join them when this life's done.
Someday!
Beyond the Veil!

minor changes, but it's pretty much what JKR wrote.
