A/N: Hello readers. This is my last chapter and then the epilogue. These chapters will be longer than the others. Maybe I will write another story after this one is complete. I said maybe, but hopefully. Well, here is Chapter 5.

Chapter 5: The Funeral

Hermione's POV

'Well, no turning back now' Hermione thought as her mom parked the car in the church's parking lot. "I don't think I can do this." She said to her mom who was now looking down.

"Of course you can, dear." Her mom said unsurely.

"Mom, are you okay?" She said concerned.

"Umm...yeah." Her mom then started to cry. "I miss him so much."

Hermione couldn't help but cry herself. "I miss him too mom, but sometimes you have to let the things you love go."

"Maybe you're right." She faintly smiled at me and we both got out of the car in our black robes.

I took a deep breath and walked into the church. We were one of the first people there.

At 3:00 the funeral began. It was packed. My dad's co-workers at the dentist office were there too. I heard the priest talk. Then, they called me up to make a good-bye speech. I stood up, shaking all over.

"Hello, my name is Hermione Granger and I am the daughter to Dr. Granger. He was a great father. One that always took the time to be with you when you're feeling sad, but he can't now because he's deceased." A tear dropped down from my eyes and a stream of them came after. "I love him so much and without him I will never be the same. I will miss him always and what I want to say is, Dad I love you and there's nothing that would change that in the world. Thank you." I sat down and cried in my hands.

Later on after my mom made her speech, it was time for us to say our farewells at the coffin. My mom went first. She was crying. More than I ever thought a person can cry. I heard her mumble the word I love you. She then went back to her seat even worse than before. I saw some of her friends sitting next to her rubbing her back.

It was my turn to say my farewells. I walked up to the coffin and bowed my head. "Dad, I love you so much. Please come back, I..." Before she could finish, she saw a light. It was on the coffin. Then she heard a voice. It was her dad's. "Hermione, I know you miss me, but you have to let me go sometime. I will always be watching you and your mother from heaven. By the meantime, you have other things to worry about."

"What's that?"

"Harry."

"What about him, dad."

"He's the one." With that, her dad was gone.
