Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. I will say no more.
This is the chapter four up but I reloaded it to try and get rid of all the little symbols that kept popping up in the story.
*Never Felt So Alone*
When I went downstairs this morning, there were a pile of waffles and bacon sitting on the table ready for me to eat. I smiled; Ginny must have made them for me. She knows they're my favorite things to eat for breakfast. They always seem to cheer me up. She's so nice to be putting up with me when I've practically ignored her.
I sat there eating them, silently. I felt better, happier even. But I could tell something was wrong. I could feel it. Something was going to happen today. And I didn't like it. It wasn't until I had finished eating and put the empty plate in the sink when it hit me.
Their funeral. It was today.
I didn't want to go. Going to a funeral would be confirming that they were dead. Confirming what I didn't want to confirm. The truth.
The funeral was set to be at Hogwarts. The great hall, because so many people were going to come. Harry and Ron's family, friends, classmates, teachers, and fellow order members. Everyone.
Ginny and I flooed there. Dumbledore had set up a floo and appration point for the many funeral-goers, since the train couldn't really hold them all.
Ginny and I came to the great hall and stopped at the entrance. Neither of us wanted to go in, but we couldn't stay out. Then Ginny took a step forward and I followed, walking solemnly into the one place I wanted to avoid.
Long black drapes hung from all the walls. On the head table were Harry and Ron's awards for special services to the school from our second year. Next to them there were two Gryffindor robes, a Prefect pin on Ron's and a Head Boy pin on Harry's. Behind the table was an enormous Gryffindor banner, signifying the deaths of two noble Gryffindors. There were tables filling the great hall, almost all of them filled with people.
I headed over to the table where the rest of our year Gryffindors sat. None of them talked. They just sat there, occasionally glancing at the large banner at the front of the room.
I sat beside Lavender and Parvarti, who were both crying. They had both dated Ron for a while over our Hogwarts years. I guess breaking up with him didn't stop the pain of really losing him for good.
Other tables around ours were filled with other ex-Hogwarts students. Fred and George with Katie and Angelina. Oliver Wood and his wife Alicia. Cho and Roger Davies. Neville with Susan Bones.
I looked at Ginny, who had an empty seat beside her. She had her purse sitting on it and kept glancing at the door. I don't know why. It's as if she was waiting for someone.
There is a shuffle of chairs as the Weasley twins stand up. They push a few tables together and all the ex-students sat together silently.
Ginny's still glancing at the door. The people around me keep glancing at the front of the room. Everyone is restless, but no one speaks.
The Weasley twins finally break the silence. They start telling a story of something funny that happened when they were playing Quiddich with Ron. Soon everyone is laughing. Laughing and adding in their own stories.
Parvarti and Lavender tell stories of what Ron and Harry did in Divinitation. Cho talks about her disaster first date with Harry. Seamus, Dean, and Neville tell of what went on in the boys' dormitory.
I tell them of what happened when we went to get the Sorcerer's Stone. Of our time traveling together in third year, and the Department of Mysteries in fifth. Then I start talking about when we started the D.A. Dumbledore's Army. Almost everyone was involved with that so it got the conversation going in full swing with everyone adding in and asking questions.
I began talking about the day Umbridge came to catch us at one of our meetings when someone started talking behind me.
"Yes. I was the one who caught Potter. Too bad I didn't just turn around and jinx that old hag instead."
Everyone spun around to see who it was. I had to check too, it couldn't possibly be who I thought it was. But it was.
Draco Malfoy.
But it couldn't be. The Slytherin King himself? At a Gryffindor's funeral? And his voice. It wasn't cruel and taunting. It was soft and you could tell he was barely containing a laugh.
He took a seat beside Ginny and it hit me. He was dating her. That's whom she was waiting for all this time. I can remember Fred and George talking about Ginny and someone else but they stopped as soon as I walked into the room. They probably didn't want me getting mad at her for dating Harry's archenemy.
But he's changed. I can tell by the way he smiles, instead of smirks. Ginny changed him. He's on our side now.
Ginny glances at me nervously. I smile to tell her that I'm ok. If he makes her happy, that's fine. And by the way she looks at him, I can tell she loves him.
Albus Dumbledore stands at the front of the room and we all quiet down. He starts speaking.
"Today we are all gathered to mourn two of the greatest Gryffindors Hogwarts has ever seen. Mr. Ronald Weasley and Mr. Harry Potter showed outstanding courage in their years at Hogwarts. And even more so after they graduated. Their deaths were made honorably for the Wizarding world, and we thank them for that. Even though some of us may feel sad at their passing, think of the younger Harry or Ron you knew. They wouldn't like you to mourn so much. They would want you to remember the good times they had when they were living. Remember that. Remember Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. They will be with us always."
I smiled as I thought of all the adventures that we had all talked about earlier. I remember how Ron and Harry used to make me laugh and how they'd fool around when I'd try to get them to do homework. They were the best friends anyone could have.
But my smile faded as I look around. I notice almost everyone is sitting with someone else. They all have someone. Someone they love and will be together with for a long time.
Except me.
And I've never felt so alone.
