Hermione's first few weeks at the burrow were awesome. She had so much fun with her friends just laughing and talking, and they even got her on a broom this year to play a little quittich.

After goofing off for a while they decided to head inside. When they got there Dumbledore was sitting in the kitch with Mr and Mrs Weasly.

"Hello Professor.What's going on?" Harry asked.

"Hermione dear why don't you sit down."Mrs Weasley said.

"I think I'd rather stand. What's going on?"

"I heard from your father today. It seem your mother was in an accident. She didn't make it. I'm so sorry." Professor Dumbledore said.

"Are you okay Mione?" Harry asked.

"I wish you'd quit treating me like glass, I'm not gonna break."

"It's okay to break sometimes."Mr. Weasley said.

Hermione shook her head "Not gonna happen. So when is the funeral?"

"Tomorrow, but thats not all he said. It seems he want you to come back to live with him.He already signed the papers, and after the funeral tomorrow you'll be leaving with him."Dumbledore said not being able to look her in the eye.

"Did he kill her?"Hermione asked angrily.

"We don't know. It was a very good cover up if he did."Mr Weasley said.

"I need to write a letter to Draco."Hermione said walking up to the room she shared with Ginny.

She took out parchament and a quill, and began her letter.

Dear Draco,

I need you here tomorrow. I just recieved word that my mother died, she was killed, and tomorrows the funeral. I want you to go with me, I don't think I can handle this alone.

To make matters worse I have to go live with him again.I'm scared Draco, is there anything we can do? I don't want to go.Please write back fast.I love you.

Mione

She went in to Harry, and Ron's room tied the letter to hedwig, and sent it off.She then went to pack her thinkgs incase she really did have to go with her father tomorrow.


She was sitting on her bed, and couldn't help but cry, she felt so helpless. There was a knock on her door, and before she could answer it Draco entered her room. SHe trew her arms around him and just cried into his chest.

"It's okay love, I'm not gonna let anything bad happen to you.I swear we'll figure something out."

"What if we don't. Will you still want marry me next year if things go bad?"

He pulled her face up to look at him "I love you, and that ring on your finger means forever in my book."

Draco took her hand, and led her downstairs where she saw Mrs Malfoy sitting at the table. Narcissa stood up and put her arms around Hermione.

"I'm so sorry dear. How are you doing?"

"I'd be better if I didn't have to go home with him."

Everyone sat down to eat, and Mrs Malfoy, and Draco left right around 9 so they could go to bed in order to get up in time for the funeral.


They made it to the graveyard to only see Mr. Granger standing by a coffin. Hermioone left everyone to go stand by the the other side.

"Are you ready to go home?" Mr Granger asked.

Hermione shook her head then looked down at the coffin.She knew it was stupid but she had somethings she wanted her mom to know, and she didn't care who heard, or who was there.

"Mom I know you didn't love me, and I accept that. I don't understand what I ever did to make you hate me so much. I tried to be the perfect daughter but it still was no use.I'm sorry that you died, but I want you to know that I blame you for everything that happened to me. You were my mother you were suppose to protect me, but you didn't. I forgive you for everything that you did wrong by me, but I can't forgive you for not loving me.I refuse to live in the past, and I can't hate you forever, but I just wish I was enough." Hermione wipped her tears, and looked up at her father.

"I understand that I have to go home with you, and that your my father, but I want you to know that you will never have my love or respect. You can do whatever you want to me in the end You'll never have a heart to love anything.I hate you, and that will never change.I can never forgive you for how you treated me just don't expect me to forgive and forget if you have changed."She looked back down at the coffin.

"I was never your daughter, but you'll always be my mother."She threw a rose on the coffing "Goodbye."

She turned and ran to the steps of the church where she sat down, and waited for the others to join her.She wipped what tears were falling from her eyes as everyone caught up with her.

"That was a very brave thing you did back there Mione."Ron said sitting by her.She laid her head on his shoulder.

"I know it's wrong to hate her,but I'm just so angry, I just want to be able to forgive her." She sniffled a little and wipped her eyes "I do forgive her. I could never hate her I just wish she could have told me she loved me just once before she died."

Mrs Weasley kneeled infront of her." You dear may not be my blood daughter, but you will always be my daughter. We love you, and that's all you need, not people who don't appreciate you. A family accepts you no matter what, and we are your family and we always will be."

Hermione smiled "Thank you."

Draco pulled her up by her hands "If you need anything we'll know.Dumbledore has your house monitored, and your still coming to the Manor in a few weeks. We explained everything to your dad, If your not there we're coming for you with the ministry. You'll be okay, and we'll be making surprise visits to make sure your okay."

"Thank you."

" I love you Mione."

She kissed him as her father approached them "I love you to, and I'll see you soon."

Everyone waved bye to her as she got into her father's vehicle.Draco faced Dumbledore.

"I mean no dissrespect sir, but if anything happens to her I'm holding you, and the ministry responsible."

"Mr Malfoy I completely agree with you.I'll be checking in later tonight, and I'll send word to you all."


Hermione got out of the car, and faced her house for the first time in what seemed like ever.She took her bags upstairs, and changed for bed, then kneeled down to say a slight prayer.

"Dear Lord, please forgive me for what I said earlier to my mother, and father.Also I've never asked anything from you before in the past, but please look after my friends, and please if anything happens to me while I'm here I just want Draco to find happiness along with all my friends. Lord I just want to be safe. Amen."

Hermione then locked her bedroom door, moved her dresser infront of it, and tried to go to sleep.
