A/N: I found my self close to tears writing this.
*Goodbye*
Hermione woke at 9:55am and the sun was brightly shinning through her dormitory window. Hermione noticed that Mrs. Weasley's bed was empty. Then she remembered, the funeral.
Tears sprang into Hermione's eyes yet again and her rolled over not wanting to face the day but after 5 minutes all so she convinced herself to go and say good-bye to her loving father.
She got up slowly and got dressed not bothering to have a shower. She dressed in a black skirt that sat just above her knee. She placed a white singlet top on and a black leather jacket over the top. She looked in the mirror, she looked a total wreck. Her eyes were bloodshot and she had mascara stains down her cheeks. She placed some make up on her cheeks to brighten them up and bit and applied lip gloss to shine her lips. She looked slightly better now.
She did her hair in a plain pony tail and placed a white flower clip just above the elastic band. She sprayed a rose deodorant around herself and smiled weakly practicing what to say to people but she just ended up screaming and yelling at her self.
"Why my parent? Why them, why not you!"
"Dear!" Mrs. Weasley ran in from the door "Calm down!"
Hermione was thrashing her arms around the room. she stopped and straightened up. She turned to Mrs. Weasley and frowned.
"Sorry, are we going now or what?" Hermione asked quietly.
"We will be leaving soon dear, just waiting for Ginny and the boys."
Hermione nodded and walked out of the dormitory. In the Gryffindor Common Room stood Dumbledore and McGonagal and behind them Hagrid stood wiping his eyes.
Hermione raised her head high and walked toward them.
"Hello Hermione," Dumbledore spoke first "Your Grandmother has arranged the funeral near your home. We will be travelling down to Hogsmede and apparating form there."
Hermione nodded and sighed. Her chest tightened andher heart sank, she was close to tears but held back.
Ron and Harry appeared a few minutes later followed by Ginny.
"Mione!" Ginny ran into Hermione's arms and hugged her tightly. "I'm so sorry!" she whispered in Hermione's ears.
They pulled out of the hug and Hermione smiled happy that she had a friend like Ginny "Thanks!"
They all walked through the castle silently. Students watched as they saw the small group walking down corridors and into the entrance hall.
An arm pulled Hermione around the corner and she faced Draco "Can I come?"
"I wish you could, Harry and Ron..."
"I don't care anymore. This is way to important for that rubbish, do you want to come clean?"
Hermione nodded and took his hand and walked out into the grounds and caught up with the rest.
They caught up and walked behind the others silently.
Ron turned around to check on her "What the hell are 'you' doing here?"
"Ron, calm down." Hermione said.
"Calm down? How dare he come to your father's funeral."
"Because I asked him to! Draco and I are in love Ron and you can't argue with me because it is not negotiable!" Hermione put her foot down.
Ron backed down, he did not look pleased but all the same he held out his hand.
Draco shook his hand and smiled. Harry strolled over with a frown on his face, he was not pleased at all. He deaply loved Hermione and didn't want this git in her life. He wanted her to love him but he knew this was what Hermione wanted. He held out his hand and shook Malfoy's.
Draco smiled. He always wanted to be on the right side of Harry. In their first year he wanted them to be mates but it didn't turn out right. Why did he have to be such and insulting git? He didn't know the answer but he did know things were looking up for him, beside the fact that Hermione's family had been killed by some idiot that his father supported and expected him to do the same once he got out of Hogwarts. Draco remembered when his father had pulled him aside at King Cross and said to him that he would be trained to be a death eater when he was finished at school. Draco hated him so much. Why did he have to be born into this family? Born to be taught evil and disrespect? All he really knew was that he would never be a death eater.
They walked on and soon reached Hogsmead.
"I know that none of you yet have your license for apparation but we will be stretching the rules today." Dumbledore faced Ron, Harry, Hermione, Draco and Ginny.
They each nodded.
"Virginnia, could you please go with your mother. Ron you may go with Professor McGonagal and Harry you shall come with myself."
"What about us sir?" Hermione asked shaking from nerves.
"Ms. Granger I do believe you have apparated before?"
Hermione remembered last year when they had escaped from Voldermort. She had apparated herself, Ron, Ginny and Harry back to Hogsmead.
Hermione nodded.
"And I am sure your father has taught you the art of apparating Mr. Malfoy?"
"Yes he had sir."
"Good, well if you want you can apparate together of seperatley but we need to get a move on!" Dumbledore gestered.
Hermione nodded and turned to Draco and mouther 'Together?'
He nodded in reply.
He turned to Hagrid "I believe you have your umbrella Hagrid?"
Hagrid nodded.
"OK, if Molly and Virginia would like to go first?"
"Thankyou Albus!" Mrs. Weasley took Ginny's hand "Ready dear?"
Mrs. Weasley clicked her right hand fingers together and they disappeared in seconds.
"You next Minerva," Dumbledore pointed to Ron and Prof. McGonagal.
Minerva took Ron's hand and they apparated.
"Harry and I will go and meet you there," He turned away but turned back around to them "By the way we are going to London Mid-city Cemetery."
They were gone in a flash of red fireworks.
"Ready?" Draco asked Hermione.
She nodded but grabbed his hand before he could walk any further "Thanks for making u p with Ron and Harry, it means allot to me."
"No problem." Draco smiled and took her hand in his and they apparated.
The feeling would have been great at any other time but Hermione couldn't find a happy bone in her body to enjoy this form of travel. They were there in 30 seconds.
Hermione looked around at the cemetery, it was neat and tidy. She had visited here before with her Gran. She remembered her grandfather was buried here.
The flowers were bright and beautiful, the air was fresh and the streets were quiet.
Draco squeezed her hand effectively "You OK?"
She nodded. They walked up to the church on the hill. It was a nice looking church with glass-stained windows and flowers. Dumbledore and the rest were already seated inside.
At the front of the church stood a casket that held her father.
'I never got to say good-bye.' Hermione thought.
She dropped Draco off with the others and walked to her Gran. They embraced and she felt to loved and warm.
"How are you Hun?" her Gran asked.
"all right," Hermione put on a brave face "Could I please see him?"
Hermione truthfully couldn't remember what he looked like but her knew it was just shock.
"I suppose."
Hermione walked over to the casket and a man in black opened it up. Hermione looked up at the man and realised it was her mother's brother, he Uncle Greg.
He smiled weakly but she did not return it. She starred down at her Daddy. He was pale and wearing his best suit and a tie. 'Funny' she thought, 'He always hated to wear ties!'
She leant over and undid the tie, she placed it in her pocket and she undid his top button to make him look more casual. She walked away toward her Gran but ran back.
She leant down to her dad's ear "I love you!" She leant over and hugged his cold body tightly. she kissed his hard, cracked lips and went to her Gran wiping tears from her eyes.
