Hogwarts has no graveyard.

Its fields are vast and open; its children play games and roll along the thick, lush grass.

When it is his turn, he knows, no one will claim him. Bone by bone, brick by brick, he will be walled into this place he shed his lifeblood for, drop by drop, until he seeps into the very walls. He hears the echoes of those before him.
