Chapter 4 – Burials and Sorrows

June 4th 1870, Saint Marie's Hospital

When Christine arrived to the hospital her father was already dieing, according to the doctor, he didn't have much more time. The priest had already left. She couldn't avoid spill her tears, they were already falling freely down her face. She felt an enormous void, half-dead. Everybody she loved eventually leaved so abruptly.

(Christine) Albus, papa has died, the burial will be this Tuesday. I don't think I can bury another father alone again. Please. I really need you here.

(Albus) And I'll be there.

(Christine) Thank you.

June 7th 1970, Paris Cemetery, 4:00PM

Christine, in black, stood in front of her last father's grave. Everybody had left already. Antoinette and Megan Giry had already left, not very satisfied to leave her behind, but Albus insisted; albeit young, Chris could perfectly take care of herself. She was to leave with Albus in minutes, who meanwhile escorted the Giry's to the cemetery entrance and there waited. Christine had no more tears to cry, so she sang. And a hooded hidden figure listened.

It's not
What you thought
When you first began this
You got
What you want
Now you can hardly stand it though,
By now you know
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up

Prepare a list of what you need
Before you sign away the deed
'Cause it's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up
No, it's not going to stop
'Til you wise up
No, it's not going to stop
So just...give up

"Oh father, all the ones I care the most leave so suddenly. I've buried so many already. Harry, Ron, Seamus, Lavender, Parvati, Neville, poor sweet Neville, Pansy, and I didn't even liked all of them, but I keep seeing them all in my nightmares, so much blood, all the torture. And now you. At least you will be a pleasant ghost. An angel. Like the one you said you would send me. The Angel of Music…", she gave the tomb a teary smile, "I've already arranged everything with Albus, I'm leaving tomorrow. I'll go back home. Home away from home. There's nothing to worry about papa, Albus is a fine gentleman and a good friend. I need to mourn you. After this I'll be alone. Albus can't always be there for me. I'll keep practising, everyday, I promise. Until then papa."

And she walked away to join Albus Dumbledore.
