Chapter 2

Remembrance By Zabini

People gathered in a little garden outside, just off to the side of the lake. Several people were there, including; Harry, Ron, Neville, Hermione, Seamus, Dean, Cho, Blaise Zabini, Lavender and the Patil twins. All the professors and the remaining of the Weasley family were there also. There were several rows of chairs and at the opposite side from the entrance were two caskets.
There was a mahogany casket with gold trimming in which Ginny's dead body lay and an ebony casket with silver trimming which Draco's body lay. Ginny was dressed up in a long blue floral dress with ¾ in sleeves and Draco was dressed in a black tuxedo with a navy blue tie. Draco's platinum blonde hair fell lightly over his closed peaceful eyes.
Blaise walked over to Draco's casket with sunglasses on to hide his watering red eyes. The young boy looked sadly down at his best friend. He remembered memories of sneaking out of the dorm in the middle of the night to get food from the kitchens and playing pranks on the Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs. Blaise grinned broadly remembering his best memory of Draco;

/Flashback/

"Come on Zabini, hurry up!" called a young thirteen-year-old Draco. "I'm coming," Blaise said sneaking around a corner. They walked down a dark passageway, which finally emerged into an octagonal room with a door on each flat wall.
"Draco, where the hell are we going?" Blaise said in frustration.
"Just hang on, don't get your knickers in a bunch," Draco said smirking walking towards a pentagonal shaped door.
"Ha Ha Ha, very funny. So what is this place called?" Blaise said looking around the room.
"The Polygon Room" Draco said simply turning to Blaise giving him the look to follow. Blaise followed realizing that all the doors were each a different polygon. He then stopped once he was next to Draco.
"Are you ready for this? What lays beyond this door may shock and appall you," Draco said in a serious tone.
"Your not taking me to another one of your passage ways to watch the girls shower are you?" Blaise said not sounding as if he would mind.
"No, you sick-o...joking, but even if I was it's to early to do that..I mean..how many girls do you know that shower at three A.M.?"
"Good point..but then where are we going?" Blaise said again frustrated, but Draco simply just opened the door. Outside the door was a balcony outside over looking the grounds and lake.
Draco stepped out into the cool spring night and Blaise followed. Draco stopped at the top of a staircase looking back at Blaise.
"Where are you taking me?" Blaise said again more impatiently. "Just wait," Draco said descending the stairs "But I don't want to wait," he said running after Draco who was now walking towards the lake. "My dear friend, what you are about to witness will definitely be worth the wait." Blaise sighed impatiently following reluctantly. They turned and headed towards the forest. Draco quickly found the path and entered a clearing. Within the clearing was a bright white light that shone from something that was either above or on the ground..the young boys couldn't tell.
"Is that the moon?" Blaise said somewhat frightened and hopeful, grasping Draco's arm tightly. Draco chuckled and shook his head 'no'. They walked in farther, and noticed a horse shaped figure on the ground.
Draco smiled and brought Blaise closer to the horse, which was emitting the bright white light.
"Is..is that a unicorn?" Blaise said in whispered awe.
Draco simply nodded and said "Yes, a pregnant unicorn. She's pregnant with twins."
They stepped up next to her couching down. Blaise stared in awe at the beautiful creature in front of him, gently touching her hindquarters. The unicorn lifted its head neighing quietly but Draco settled her down by gently petting her nose.
The unicorn started to go into labor with the help of Draco and Blaise and an hour later the twins were born, one male and the other female. Their coats were had a dull golden glow to them. Both Draco and Blaise sat there in awe with the three unicorns for the next hour before leaving and sneaking back to the castle. /end flashback/

A tear ran down Blaise's cheek, but he didn't bother to wipe it off. He suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder and turned around to see an Irish sandy haired gryffindor.
"Hey Seamus," Blaise said turning away from his best friends body.
"How are you doing?" Seamus said putting an arm around his friend's waist.
"I miss him," he stated simply.
"Me too, but Ron was right. Even though he's dead physically doesn't mean that he's dead in our hearts, minds, and everyday life. Besides, do you really think Draco would want you to be moping around thinking about his death all day when you could be doing something else?"
"No..but I can't help the fact that it hurts so much, I mean..because you know.." Blaise said trailing off.
"Yeah, I know, but you'll find someone else." Seamus said comfortingly.
Blaise and Seamus talked for another fifteen minutes before the wake ended and the bodies were to be buried.
Draco and Ginny's bodies were buried in a small garden behind the school under a large weeping willow at 7:15 PM
