Chapter 13
It had been a few days and Alexandra contacted Riverside Mortuary, as well as Queen of Angels Church about the funeral for both parents. They were transported to the mortuary and she gave the date at which the funeral would be held. It was to be held in three days. After that she took everyone out to get dresses and suits. Ginny's dress was ruby red, Hermione's was lavender purple, Alexandra's was deep ocean blue, and each guy had a tux but wore different colored vests. Draco's was deep green, Harry's was deep blue, Ron's was fiery red, Neville's was light purple, and Seamus's was silver. They paid for the suits and dresses then went to lunch. They went to a Chinese restaurant and sat in a booth
"thanks guys, I think I'd go insane if you weren't here" Alex sniffed and smiled
"anything for you" Draco replied soothingly
"ok, I'm gonna call Lila and invite her here" she sniffed again, apparently she had been crying earlier
So they quieted down. She pulled out her cell phone and dialed Lila's number
"hey Lila, it's Alex, do you wanna come eat with us? Yeah Harry and the others are here, and a friend you haven't met yet. We're at Dragon House. Yeah. Ok, see you in fifteen. Bye"
She hung up and put her phone back in her pocket
"she's coming" she told everyone so that they were informed
"that's one more person who will be there for you" Harry replied while wrapping his arm around her
It was actually 10 minutes later when Lila showed up, but everyone else was with her. Arturo, Sam, Alex, Armando, Cesar, Eric, Jorge, Eilene, Teressa, Eliana, and Ruby. They all had tear stained faces (yes even the guys) and Alexandra got up and walked over to Lila and hugged her. She cried as she spoke
"god, I miss them" Alexi said starting to cry all over again
"me too" Lila replied while hugging her tightly
They cried in each others arms then stopped and seated themselves
"wow, this is gonna be an emotional week" Lila stated while drying her eyes
"yup, everyone here today is coming?" Alexi had asked while drying her eyes with her handkerchief
"we'd never leave you in a time like this; you haven't when it was us grieving; so we won't" Alex had said, trying to lift her spirits a little
"thanks Alex! Oh, everyone, this is Draco Malfoy. He wasn't here the last time but he's here this time" Alexi replied showing Draco around to all of her friends
"hello everyone" Draco replied in a friendly manner, hey, yes he was a Malfoy, but that didn't mean he had to live to the name always when around muggles
"hey man" Arturo replied
"wad up?" Sam said
"hey dude" Armando responded
"hey Draco" Eric said
"hi" Cesar said with his usual quiet persona kicking in
"wad up cus?" Jorge replied
"sup?" Alex responded
"nice to meet you" Eilene said, somewhat in a better mood than she had arrived in
"pleasure to meet you" Eliana replied with a smile
"hello Draco" Teressa responded sounding better in mood as well
"hi" Lila replied, somewhat with what looked to be a blush shading her cheeks
So everyone chatted while they ate trying to get rid of some pain that will consume them at the funeral. But everyone besides Alexandra didn't know the date of the funeral
"when's it gonna happen?" Sam asked when he finished his Mandarin Chicken
"in three days, when we do the ceremonial part it will be held at Queen of Angels Church, and when the burial happens it will be at Riverside National Cemetery" Alexi replied as if it didn't phase her
Everyone besides Harry and the others asked for directions to the church because they weren't familiar with it. So she wrote down the directions and told everyone who didn't know to copy it. But she told Harry he wouldn't have to. She told them she was purchasing a limousine for that day and she would let the driver know of the location. They finished eating and departed with exchanges of hugs and goodbyes. Alexandra had a surprise for the others for the next day. They were going to have fun until it was time that way they would be somewhat relaxed when the day of the funeral came. But Alexandra would go to the mortuary the day before the funeral and visit family and see her parent's faces before she couldn't again. The others won't go, but they will enjoy themselves before then.
A/N: ok, that was chapter 13, and I hope you guys liked it, I know, its starting to be more dramatic, but a good action sort of story needs some drama to help make it better, its like watching an episode of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, you need the drama to make it what kind of action episode it was. So, there's my drama added into the story, hope you guys will keep reading, and R&R hopefully, and later much
