Harry Potter Six Update
Harry Potter author, JK Rowling, has announced that two beloved characters in the series will die before the series come to a close. Who will it be??? That's the question bugging the minds of Harry Potter fans everywhere.
Some of the popular guesses include Harry Potter himself, his bestfriends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, and Harry's girlfriend Ginny Weasley. Some people also guess that it might be one of the Weasleys and a lot hope that it's Percy.
Personally, I think it might be Snape but not after he has redeemed himself and revealed that Dumbledore's "murder" was part of a greater plan.

Pablo Neruda's TO WASH A CHILD
by Pablo Neruda
Only the most ancient love on earth
will wash and comb the statue of the children,
straighten the feet and knees.
The water rises, the soap slithers,
and the pure body comes up to breathe
the air of flowers and motherhood.
Oh, the sharp watchfulness,
the sweet deception,
the lukewarm struggle!
Jose Garcia Villa's I CAN NO MORE HEAR LOVE'S
I can no more hear Love's
Voice. No more moves
The mouth of her. Birds
No more sing. Words
I speak return lonely.
Flowers I pick turn ghostly.
Fire that I burn glows
Pale. No more blows
The wind. Time tells
No more truth. Bells
Ring no more in me.
I am all alone singly.
Lonely rests my head.
—— O my God! I am dead.
