One of my favourite classical tunes ever is Danse Macabre by Camille Saint-Saens. It's based on a French poem by Henri Cazalis, whereupon Death calls the dead from their graves and then proceeds to play the fiddle for them whilst they dance (Hey, whatever floats your boat, I suppose)

Anyway, I've tweaked it a little and so now the dead cast of Harry Potter are having a boogie:

Lily dances with Snape, James tries to cut in.
Moody loses to Fred at Exploding Snap. Hedwigs not pleased.
Dumbledore is dancing with his sister Ariana.
Lupin and Tonks, still in love (aww)
Sirius, watching the exploding snap game.
Just behind him with blond hair and a camera-Colin Creevey.
Dobby and Pettigrew (as Scabbers) dancing on Bellatrix's grave..MWUHAHAHA

I've decided that Death in this case is Voldy!! Who knew he could play the fiddle?

Obviously not all of the DH dead on here because, well just because...

One more point, I scanned this in several times with CrapScan which is why its a bit pixelated...Again.

Oh, Done in ACRYLIC!!!! :D Phew...

Thank you. It took me ages to paint this and still bits of the painting are taunting me. It does help with the grief - It's a way of still keeping them alive (in a sense). Poor Hedwig, fancy perching on Moody when he's playing a game with Fred - Not much foresight there :D

hhehehe yeah. I figured out it would have! My guess is like...8-10 hours or more.
But it works really great :D

Cheers so much. I have no idea where to hang the bloody thing!

Ooo, I dunno. It's a big canvas and I did bits at a time and then went into a corner and sobbed for a while :)

Excellent! I makes me happy to see Snape finally getting some time with Lily. I love how almost all the dead are having fun.

And the expression on Hedwig's face makes me giggle.

Ta muchly! I have to apologize for Crapscan though, which is why I've just edited the image. Thank heavens for PS - The squishiness of the image has been corrected ;)

Haha- thanks! Painting Snape dancing with Lily and James trying to butt in was quite a lot of fun. Lily's dress is another matter entirely. It has been all the colours of the rainbow and still I'm annoyed with it, but such is life.
