Chapter 1: The Funeral
It was a cloudy, cold winter morning. Hermione was sitting alone in her kitchen.
'I can't believe he's really gone.' tears started to graze her cheeks.
Hermione read the headline of the newspaper sitting on the table "The Wizard World says goodbye to the great Harry Potter." She tossed the paper aside and finished her cup of tea. Hermione was startled by a knock at the door. She walked to the door and opened it.
"How ya holdin' up Hermione?" Ron said.
Hermione looked up at her two best friends Ron and Ginny with emotionless eyes. "I don't think I can do this." Her eyes started to tear up.
"Don't worry Mione, we'll be there with you every step of the way." Ginny said patting her friend on the back.
"Thanks you guys I don't think I could do this with out you." Hermione said.
The three left to go to the cemetery, it was hard for Ginny and Ron to see their friend like this. They could see the pain in her eyes. When they arrived, Hermione looked around at all of the people who had come to pay their last respects. Ron, Ginny, and Hermione sat down in the front row.
As soon as the service was over Hermione walked over to the casket and placed her flowers on top. "Good-bye my love."
She stared at the casket and tears began to fill her eyes. She stood their motionless of five minuetes when she felt someone standing behind her. She turned around and met the icy blue/gray eyes of Draco Malfoy.
"Hi Hermione." He said.
Hermione was a little surprised to see her husband's childhood rival. Draco had changed since their days at Hogwarts. He became a spy for the ministry and was a great help to the fall of Voldemort. Hermione still couldn't help but see him as the mudblood hating death eater who had made her life miserable. She felt guilty still feeling resentment towards him, but old habits die hard.
"Hi Draco, it was nice of you to come." she stared at him with a blank expression.
"I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am, Harry was a great guy I'm just sorry it took me 7 years to realize it."
"Thank you Draco, that means a lot, I know Harry would have liked to know that you came."
"Are you doing ok?" Draco asked with sincere concern in his voice.
"I'm hanging in there. But I really need to get going I'm expecting a lot of people to stop by today, your more than welcome to stop by." Hermione said.
"Thanks, I might just take you up on that offer, I'll see you later."
"Alright, thanks again" Hermione turned and walked away to find her friends and go home.
