The funeral was one physically and mentally overwhelming experience for both Zelos and Irvette. But Darius was there to make sure that everything went as planned. Only problem was when the casket was going to lower their coffins into their resting grounds. Irvette had gone berserk, saying how they should not be buried in the ground. It took them great efforts to pry her off the coffin, telling her how disrespectful it is to the deceased, and how they would not be able to rest in peace at this rate. She finally relaxed when Zelos held her close to his heart, letting her cry with all her might until she fell asleep in his arms, and they lowered the coffins into the ground, and sealed it with magic so that no one could disrupt their resting place.
After the funeral, they were told to pack up and were sent off to Hogwarts to start school.

"Irvette misses, Zelos sire, I wish you both luck in your studies and life from here on. And do remember that we are just an owl away. Send us a letter whenever you are free. And if you need consent for anything and your brother is unable to give it to you since he is a teacher in Hogwarts, remember that Craig and Anna are here to help. Alright?" Craig said, passing them each a letter.
"Read those when you guys are at Hogwarts alright? Take care from here on Irvette misses. And you too Zelos sire. We will keep your house clean and ready for you to return in your breaks." Anna said.
"Craig, Anna, you have no idea how much I want thank you guys, but I just can't find the right words to say, or the right thing to do to express my thanks. Thank you." Irvette said, giving them both an awkward hug.
"Well, I'll spare you both a hug, but, thanks, all the same." Zelos said, smiling.
"You are most welcome young sire. Do remember the values that were taught to you by your late parents. They are all valuable lessons to be learnt, and forever remembered." Craig said.
"Well, both of you should be on your way now. The portkey has already been activated. Take care." Anna said, kissing the cheek of Irvette's and Zelos's.
"Take care too. We'll miss you both." Irvette said, smiling sadly.
Both Zelos and Irvette picked up their belongings and with one last sad look at their dearest friends, they both took hold of the portkey.
"We'll be waiting for you at home until you return for your vacations. Irvette misses, I'll send you some of your pillows over so that you'll be used to it there at Hogwarts. Zelos sire, I trust you will adapt well? Or shall I send your pillows as well?" Anna asked, grinning cheekily, although tears were clearly formed in her eyes.
"I wish the both of you could come along too." Irvette said, tears gathering in her own eyes.
"Don't be silly misses. You will need to learn to survive on your own. I have half the mind not to send those pillows over." Craig said, sighing.
"I know you would still send them over." Irvette smiled.
"Well, we best be going now before this goodbye's gonna be a wet one." Zelos said, sighing.
"Yeah. Take care. Oh, here you go misses. I made this myself." Anna passed Irvette a piece of cloth.
"I will look at it later alright? See you both soon. Bye!" Irvette said, looking sadly at the both of them.
"Goodbye misses and sire. Take care!"
"Bye!"
With that, the twins disappeared from the butler and maid's sight.
"I'm pretty worried." Craig admitted after a short silence.
"Me too Craig. Me too." Anna said, putting a hand on Craig's shoulders. "We'll just have to trust the both of them, right?" Anna said, wiping a tear from her eyes.
"Come on, let's go home. There's much to do." Craig said, and they both of them apparated home, the home that belonged to their masters.
