The weekend went by too fast for Hermione. On Monday she woke up to see Draco at the end of her bed. He was already dressed in a black suit and had a black skirt and shirt lying right next to him.
"You need to get ready," Draco said handing her the outfit and standing up.
"The funeral isn't until four and it's only 1:00," Hermione said sitting up. She really didn't want to go to the funeral, but if Draco was going to go with her, she had to go.
"Just get ready, I'll take you out to eat then we can go see a movie or something," Draco said looking down at Hermione.
"You want to go see a movie in a suit," Hermione said.
"I don't care, just get ready," Draco said taking Hermione by the hand and pulling her up off the bed. "Go take a shower, and meet me back here." With that Draco walked out of the room leaving Hermione to gather her thoughts.
Hermione walked out of the bathroom with the black skirt and shirt Draco had gotten her. Everyday since Mr. Banks told her that he parents had died she has worn the necklace with the ring that she put on before she left the house for the final time. She walked back to the room and Draco was sitting on her bed, this time with someone else next to her.
"Hermione this is Sarah she is going to do your hair and makeup for the funeral, I will stay here to see that everything goes the way you like it," Draco said.
"Ok, where am I supposed to sit," Hermione asked pointing out that the bed was taken up. Draco conjured a chair in front of Hermione's foot. Hermione sat down in the chair and Sarah started to things to her hair.
After Sarah hand highlighted Hermione's hair and de-frizzed it, too, she moved onto the makeup. All together it took Hermione like two hours to get ready. After a nod of approval from Draco, Sarah handed Hermione a mirror to look at herself.
Sarah had given Hermione light blond highlights, and her makeup was done in all natural colors, mainly browns. Hermione liked what she saw, but the makeup thing wouldn't become an everyday thing. Draco and Hermione had an hour to get to the funeral, so instead of showing up like normal people they apperated there instead.
"Are you ready," Draco asked Hermione with a concerned look on his face.
"As ready as I'll ever be," Hermione said they started to walk toward the people who where in front of the caskets. Draco could hear Hermione's breath quicken as they got closer, so he took her hand. When they where close enough to see the people they finally looked down into one of the caskets.
They saw Hermione's mother in the first casket and Hermione couldn't hold it in, she started to cry softly. Draco looked down at Hermione and was hurting deep inside because of the look on Hermione's face. He saw Hermione reach toward the necklace that she always wore and grip the ring around it.
Draco took Hermione by the arm and led her to the other casket, the one that had her dad in it. Hermione stopped dead in her tracks. Draco looked at her a little confused.
"What's wrong," he asked walking back a little looking down at Hermione.
"I can't do this, I can't see my dad dead," Hermione said starting to breakdown. Draco took her in his arms to try and comfort her.
"I'm here for you, you won't see him by yourself," Draco said. She had to see her dad one last time before he was burred. Hermione hadn't even had a chance to say good-bye to her parents before they died.
"I know you are, it just doesn't feel like it," Hermione said taking a step back from Draco.
"You want to know the last thing I said to my parents," Hermione said her eyes starting to water even more.
"What?"
"They asked me what I wanted for my birthday, I told them that I just wanted to be with them," Hermione said now sobbing.
"You have to see your dad one last time before he gets buried. You will regret not taking that one last look at him," Draco said. So with that Hermione started to walk toward the casket. Draco took her hand to support her. Hermione looked down into the casket to see her lifeless father and she broke down all together. Draco once again held Hermione close to him.
He couldn't imagine what it would be like to loose someone you loved so much. He wouldn't really care if his parents died today. He didn't love anyone as much as Hermione loved her parents. Now he knew why he didn't get close to anyone. He was afraid to get hurt the way Hermione was hurting now.
After the funeral Draco apparated he and Hermione back to the orphanage. He led Hermione to her bed and laid her down on it. He went to walk away, but Hermione stopped him.
"Stay with me," Hermione said. Draco looked down at Hermione and then crawled over her and lay next to her. He wrapped his arms around Hermione and then they both fell asleep.
