The steady stream of mourners brave the rain to pay their last respects to the late Mrs Malfoy. Isolated from everyone else is Daphne Greengrass formerly Nott. Everything she had left in the world was gone. Her sister and parents each lay 6 feet deep underground. She had been close to her sister, best friends with barely any sibling rivalry. After graduating both had married, her sister, to Draco Malfoy, and her, to Theodore Nott. Why was it that both of them had divorced so young and both ex- husbands had cheated on each of the sisters?
Draco looked at the blonde haired girl dressed all in black standing all by herself next to the Grave. He felt sorry for her. She had nobody left in the world. He turned around and let the tear run down his pale cheek, for the second time.
...
Daphne lets her gaze drop to the gravestone in front of her.
Astoria Iris Greengrass
(1983- 2008)
Beloved sister, wife and daughter
She laughs bitterly at the wife part. It never saved her sister from the pain, heartache and finally, Death.
...
She looks at the view from the rooftop of the ruins of Greengrass Manor.
I pray you'll listen, I pray you'll stand
Hear my call as I command
My love, our bond in darkest hour,
Hearken this call, I find my power
Hear our voices, we entreat.
She murmurs softly to herself.
She took one step.
Over the edge.
To join those she loved.
