Chapter 24: Entombment of Cherub

Harry looked at his appearance at the mirror. He smiled for he was satisfied at himself. He was wearing a black white striped suit and underneath it was a powder blue polo long-sleeve shirt. His hair was still messy while his black shoes were shiny. It was now Wednesday morning, 6th of November, the day of Seamus' burial.

He heavily sighed. It was another added trauma for Hermione. It took a year for her to heal from Ron's death. And now, this! Seamus' death…why would Mia be in a position like this? She doesn't deserve all of this right now. She's bright, strong, creative and independent. But, it was all useless. She was weak and as the days goes by, she was weaker than ever.

She can't be like this. I can't imagine not talking to her for a year. He grabbed his watch, placed it on his wrist when there was a knock on the door. He jogged towards the door and opened it. "Draco? Why are you here?"

Draco, who was standing in front of him, looks so problematic. Even though, he looks like that, he still looks stunning on what he was wearing. He was also in a black suit like Harry's but the only difference is Draco's suit was just plain black with no white stripes. "It's Mia. She doesn't want me to help her. I came here thinking maybe you could help her. I came here maybe you could let her out of the room. She throws pillows at me and all of a sudden she started to scream at me to leave her alone in her room. It was so horrible in there. Its worst than a dungeon."

"Dungeon?" he said, afraid of the word. "Yes. Let's go."

"Mia?" Draco walks in to her room. He frowned for the room was pitch black but he knew it was a bright sunny morning. He slowly walks, searching for her bed. He stretches out his arms and smiled when he suddenly grabs one of the posts of her bed. He then taps the edge of the bed and slowly sat down on to it.

He brings his hands to her cold feet. "Don't…" she said with a cold creaky voice. Draco removes his hands to her feet. "Mia, you have to get up. Today's the day."

"Just get out of the room, Draco." But Draco hesitated. "But, Mia…you have to---" He didn't get the chance to finish his protest for Hermione throws four pillows to him, respectively. "Ow! That hurts, you know!"

"GET OUT OF THE ROOM. DRACO! I DON'T NEED YOU! DONT HELP ME BECAUSE I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP!" With that, Draco rushed out of the room and thought of seeking Harry's help.

"Mia, where are you?" Harry was now on her room and the moments where Hermione was mourning for Ron's death…came flooding back in his mind. It was like he just came out of a time machine. All of it, where there…the silence of the room and the pitch black of it. "I'm here at the bed…" she said. From that response, Harry knew that she's been crying so many days and just holding on to the pain she was feeling.

He walks over to her and sat down beside her. "Why did you do that to Draco?" Hermione leans in to his shoulders. "I don't want to see him again, Harry. I just want to die here."

"Mia, don't say that. You'll get over this." She chuckled, sarcastically. "Yeah, after one year." Harry sighed. "Ok, I know this is very painful for you. But, you need help and we're here to help you. Me, Ginny and Draco. Seamus is dead. I know it's hard to accept it but we have to. Yes, we're going to miss him and stuffs like that. But, that doesn't mean that he's gone forever. He will still be in our hearts, especially to yours. It's ok to cry, to regret things, to seek help, to feel depressed and sad. Hell, its ok to feel the worst feelings in life. But, its not ok to stop the tears, to deny regretting, to pretend you don't need help and its not ok to washed over the worst feelings and put a mask on to hide it. Mia, this is not the end of your life. This is not the time to stop and give up. You're a beautiful person…outside and inside. You have so much to look for in life. You have a lot of opportunities that will still come to you. Remember, if you stumble and fall…get up and move on. We will get through this. I know…we will. Do you understand me?"

Hermione hugs him. "Yes, now I understand. Finally, I understand it." Harry pats her back and smiled. "I knew you would because you're smart. Now, you go and change. We'll wait for you in the common room."

Hermione nods and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you so much, Harry." Harry stands up. "No problem." He walks over to the door and was about to leave when he almost forgot to say… "Mia?"

Hermione walks over to the curtains and opened it, revealing a dusty and messy room. "Yes?"

"You can't ignore Draco for the rest of your life. I know you're afraid but for a change I suggest…risk it. Maybe you will find it rewarding…" Satisfied on what he had said to her, he left Hermione with a now cleared mind.

Hermione entered the chapel with Harry on the left and Draco on her right. She was wearing a black tube top, revealing her butterfly tattoo on her back, and a white pleaded skirt with some white high-heels. Her hair was in a tight bun, she has some white pearl necklace on her neck and she wears a rectangle shape shades to cover her puffy eyes.

She looks around the chapel. It was a small one, fitted for twenty people. There were ceiling fans above, at the side were windows in a 'typical fan' shape and the sitting areas were made of wood in a color of dark-red. She looked ahead and saw the three persons who will be also attending the funeral. Ginny who was sitting beside and talking to Professor Dumbledore. And the priest who's looking at the coffin of Seamus.

They were just six in the chapel, all in all. It was ok for she rather have closed friends attending the burial than a massive crowd who just come for publicity on the school paper.

At last, they arrived in front. Ginny stopped talking to Professor Dumbledore and approached her best friend. She hugged her. "Mia, are you ok?" Hermione just nods. While Professor Dumbledore talked to Harry and Draco. "Can I see him?" she said, detaching herself from Ginny. "Sure."

Hermione goes to the coffin. It was a dark chocolate brown coffin with gold handles in the side. "Oh…here you are. Hi, Hermione. I'm sorry. Are you alright?" Father Dacian said. She smiled weakly at him. "Hi, Father. I'm ok."

"Mia, I haven't seen you for a month now here. Are you busy? Last year, you came here everyday. I'm beginning to wonder you don't like to be here."

"I'm sorry, Father. I'm just busy, forgive me. I promise, I'll be here starting tomorrow." Father Dacian smiled. "Ok, now I leave you to talk to him." Hermione smiled at him and he left her and joined professor Dumbledore with the rest.

She turned to look at Seamus. She can't believe it. He's here, lying on a coffin, eyes closed with no life. Tears where welling up on her eyes but she fought it back…thinking crying is over and she has to be strong. Seamus…I guess you're home now. Sorry I cried…I just can't help it. I'm sorry I blamed you for not being with me. I guess you're right; I'm in love with him. But, this is not the time for me to go in a relationship…again. I'm not yet ready. Draco hasn't replaced you in my heart. Then again, maybe as the days go by…maybe…I could accept him…open heartedly. Help me to be in that position. I want to love him but as I said before…I'm not sure if I'm fitted to do that yet. I can't say that I accept your death…coz…I don't. I slightly accept it. Just help me. Seamus, can you give me sign? That you're ok and when will be the time to accept Draco…coz…I'm just confused on those two matters. Sorry. Just please…only a sign…

While Hermione was talking silently to Seamus, Draco looks at her. He was just sitting away from the group of Professor Dumbledore. Even though, he knows that she's been crying so many days…she's still beautiful. Her butterfly tattoo, reminds him of their first encounter this year on the train. He chuckled. Remembering, the time when he questioned Hermione's tattoo…if it's real or not. I never knew she's so addicted to butterfly…just looking at her room. Mia, I will always be here…waiting for you. I wish I could wipe those tears but you won't let me… He looks down very disappointed at himself. I'm sorry I havefallen in love with you…

He decides to go outside for some air, not believing he's thinking not having the chance to be with Hermione. Harry approached him. "Hey, where are you going? Are you ok?" Draco looks up. "Yes, I'm---I'm…ok. I just need some air." Harry nods.

He left. Harry then approached Hermione. He placed his left arms to her shoulders. Hermione looks behind her and saw Harry. "Are you finished?" Hermione nods. "Ok, so can we know go outside to the churchyard?"

"Yeah, sure." she said. Hermione, Harry and Ginny walks outside followed by Professor Dumbledore and Father Dacian lifting in their wands Seamus' coffin. They saw Draco standing right in front of the buried land where Seamus will be laid upon. The churchyard was also small like the chapel itself. It's in a cliff surrounding with ten tombstones in every place. The background of the churchyard were mountain cliffs and below was the Sea of Hogwarts. The people who are buried in there are the ones who died in Hogwarts. Luckily, there are only ten who died for the past one-hundred thousand years. They approached him. Ginny stands behind Draco, followed by Hermione and Harry.

Professor Dumbledore and Father Dacian placed the coffin at the side of the buried land. At the head of the coffin, was a large flower-ornament. It was full of roses, anthuriums, violets and daily lilies. The men carried by hand Seamus' coffin and slowly placed it on the buried land. Hermione picks, for her, the most beautiful and perfect rose on the ornament. She then was followed by the rest.

They surround the buried land and throw the flowers to the coffin except for Hermione. She took a deep breath. She kissed the rose and closed her eyes. Thank you so much for everything you have done to me, Seamus. I would never forget you and always will love you. Goodbye. With that, she opened her eyes and throws the rose to the coffin while a teardrop falls from her eyes.

A/N With Seamus being rest in peace...what will happen to Hermione? Will she accept completely the fact that Seamus is dead? What will happen to Draco? Will he give up on Mia? What will happen to Ginny? Will she be able to know that Harry has fallen in love with her? And, what will happen to Harry? Will he confess to Ginny? You will find out...on the next chapter!REVIEW PLEASE!
