chapter 6: the funeral
Dr. Granger woke up the next morning as good as new to find Hermione, Harry, Ginny, and the whole Weasley family by his side.
"Good morning Dad."
"Good morning Hermione." He said, a smile stretching across his face.
"Are you ok?"
"Yep. As good as new."
Hermione lept up off the chair next to his bed and hugged him in a bone crushing Mrs. Weasley hug.
"ARe you going to the funeral?"
"Yeah. What time is it?"
Hermione checked her watch. "10 am."
"Ok. Where's the healer? I want to tell him I'm leaving."
"I'll go get him." Ron volunteered.
"Ok." Dr. Granger said.
Ron came back a couple minutes later with Healer Verelst.
"You feeling good enough to leave?" Healer V. questioned.
"Yep."
"Ok. Let me go sign you out and then you're free to go."
"Ok."
Dr. Granger got up and they all followed him and the healer out to the front desk. The healer signed out Hermione's dad and asked him to sign on the line and he did and then they left for the Weasley's house to get ready for the funeral. They all dressed in black and went to the cemetary in the town That the Granger's lived in with the exception of Mr. Weasley who volunteered to stay behind with the baby. All of their friends were there including Dumbledore who left his duties to Professor McGonnagal. It was 5 minutes till 2pm. Ron and Hermione were holding hands and Hermione had her head resting on his shoulder, weeping and her dad was standing behind them with his hand on Hermione's shoulder. The service went on until 3pm which was when thy buried Mrs. Granger and the family and freinds said their last words to her.
"She was the best mom ever. I loved her. I just wish that she" (Hermione started to sob even more) "was still alive to witness my wedding." Hermione finished as she flung herself into Ron's arms and started sobbing harder into his shirt.
"It's alright, 'Mione." Ron whispered, "Shhh. . . "Tears started coming to his eyes. His heart broke to see Hermione like this.
"She was a great wife. She was beautiful. She always knew right from wrong and told us when she was happy and when she was sad or depressed and she always knew when something was wrong with Hermione or myself and supported us and helped us get through tough times." He started to sob. "I also wish that she were here to see her eldest daughter marry this fine young gentleman."He motioned to Ron."And to see her youngest daughter Ginevra Granger grow up. We made 2 beautiful children together and I'm just sorry that she has to miss out on their lives."
It was Ron's turn to speak.
"I have know Mrs. Granger for 7 years." He said rubbing Hermione's back, "and like Mr. Granger said, they did make beautiful children together." he smiled at Hermione who lifted her head and smiled at him an dstood on her tip toes and kissed him on the cheek. "and I hope that Mr. Granger will let me marry his daughter." Ron said hopefully as he turned to Mr. Granger.
Mr. Granger looked Ron in the eyes blankly and then smile and said 'Yes' with more tears gathering in his eyes. The crowd awwed and He hugged Ron adn Hermione swore she heard him whisper 'Son.' Once Mr. Granger let go of Ron, Hermione hugged him and whispered 'thanks' in his ear. He said 'Your Welcome. I don't really have a choice, do I?"
"Nope." she smiled at him.
They left the funeral after the ceremony an burial and Dumbledore left and Hermione was still crying from happiness that her dad is letting her marry Ron and saddness from her mother's death. They got back to the Weasley's house to find the inside completely destroyed and Mr. Weasley laying on the grouond in the living room with his body in the body binding curse and a letter in parchment on the table nearest him. Mrs. Weasley uncursed Mr. Weasley and Mr. Granger read the note out loud. It Read:
