Chapter two: Funeral
'It was a simple yet elegant funeral' Hermione thought. She was checking to make sure everything was in place with Ron before they began. 'The chairs with a vine design carved into the black metal check, the lilies and narcissas flowers check and the casket that was made for two, and was made of a beautiful rosewood check' Hermione thought with tears stinging in her eyes. She made her way through the new addition of Hogwsrts which was a garden with a huge stone in the center with all the names of those who died including people on the dark side of the battle. Harry and Draco requested that their funeral was to be here, the idea was made that if we were to win the war that we would do a memorial for all those who died, the plan was made two weeks before hand.
Hermione made her way over to Ron who was sitting in a chair with his head in his hands.
"What are you doing Ron"
"Thinking"
"About?"
"About what was supposed to happen"
"What do you mean by that"
"What I mean is how Harry was supposed to marry my sister, and we were supposed to become Aurors together and be partners but, none of that happened Harry married the ferret and got himself killed because of him"
"Ron, it's ill to speak wrong of the dead, anyway I am going to unlock the gates"
Hermione made her way to the gate to let everyone in for the funeral.
"Ok everyone just follow me" shouted Hermione
They all followed her down the path towards the lake where the memorial was placed. When they were there they all took seat, staying respectfully silent.
'They are all here' thought Hermione 'Everyone that cared for both of them and even those who don't'
"To start off can everyone please sign this book so we can all know who was here and anybody can wright the ghost's name down" said Hermione

"I think that's everybody" said Hermione
"In hounor and the request of Draco Lucius Potter nee Malfoy and Harry James Potter I will be explaining their life of what they written down before their death" said Hermione "And as requested I will start with what Harry has written"
"Now that I am writing this I am not sure what to wright. Well here goes nothing, as you all know when my parents died I was put with my only living realitives. They are muggles and they hate magic so, they hate me. It started out when I was 5 at first it was just neglect, like lack of food and attention. Next it was severe chores that sometimes gave me scars that started when I was 6. When I was 9 it got to the worst, I began to show sign of magic and I would get hit, slapped or thrown into the cupboard that I lived in till I started Hogwarts. This contunied for as long as I lived there. I guess that's all I can think to wright down right down" read Hermione teary-eyed.
Everybody had at least tears in their eyes some were even full out sobbing.
'Just wait untill they hear the next story' mused Hermione
"I will now read Draco's story that he's written" said Hermione
"Since I was young my father's beliefs were drilled into my head and when your young you think that what your parents think are right is whats right ecspesially when they don't show you love and all you want to do is make them proud. Since I was small all I ever wanted was to make my father proud and I thought by acting like him was the best route. It wasn't. Every time I got in trouble or didn't do some thing good enough I was punished by the cruciuatus curse or muggle methods like being hit by his cane, cutting, beatings Etc. You should all know most purebloods were treated like this but, for their privacy I won't say who. This went on all my life since I was 3, I have the scars to prove it. My mother was the one to heal me but, because of the marrige vows she couldn't say anything so, she isn't to blame "
Everybody was now sobbing and some had guilty looks on their faces from the treatment they gave him.
"Now everybody can come to the casket to pay their respects" sniffed Hermione
'I am supprised none of them decided to attack the Dursleys or Lucius but, then again they are all probaly to depressed to do it'
Hermione was the last to go up. They were wearing almost the same thing black robes, black dragon hide boots and gloves but, Draco had black leather pants a dove grey silk shirt while Harry was wearing black dress pants and had a silk emerald green shirt. Their hair was as neat as it could get and let loose. They were holding hands and they were positioned to make Draco into a submissive position. Because of their height difference (Harry being taller) Harry's head was turned into Draco's hair so, you could still see his face with his cheeck on Draco's hair.
After everyone went up they started talking about them and the good memories and occuasionally going back up to the coffin before it was time to burry it.
Hermione went back up one more time to stare at the beautiful couple. 'They are beautiful, they are like light and dark and wait a minute did Harry's hand just twitch, no that's impossible their dead it must just be the light and the fact that I want Harry back.'
After that final decision it was time to burry them. They all watched as the beautiful rosewood coffin went into the ground for the last time. At the same time McGonagall was writing their names into the memorial war stone.
Their grave stone read their names, the dates of birth to death for both and a kinda quote that says 'When love is so true that you would do anything for your partner including death.'
When everyone left they had red, puffy eyes from crying. Arthur was comforting Molly, Angelia was comforting George, the Crevery brothers were comforting each other, Neville and Luna were comforting each other Seamus and Dean were comforting each other, Blaise was comforting Pansy and Ron was comforting Ginny.
The only ones to remain were Hermione, the Weasleys, Blaise, Pansy and Narcissa who was kneeling by the grave. Hermione walked up to Narcissa and kneeled down next to her.
"Do you think this is really wanted?" said Narcissa
"It probaly is"
"I am just happy my Dragon found his love because he never had enough love growing up"
"The same for Harry"
"Yes, the same for Harry. They were perfect for each other because they could understand what the other was going through when no one else could. They could fix each other, mend each other's hearts, and give the affection they both needed"
Hermione said nothing and waited to see if there was more.
"Well, goodbye Miss.Granger sorry for your loss"
"And to you Mrs.Malfoy"
They all left before dark Hermione being the last and when she got home it started to storm.
