With An Aching Heart
Hermione reached her hand up, her fingers toying with the diamond ring on the chain around her neck. Tears pooled in the corners of her eyes as she dropped to her knees in front of his grave.
"Draco," she croaked out. The words burned into her mind, and she was unable to tear her gaze away. Here lies Draco Malfoy.
"It's been two years," she spoke, the tears falling down her cheeks. Two years since he had been killed on an Auror mission just weeks before their marriage.
"I miss you, Draco." Her hand tightened around her ring. She sobbed.
