He Knew
"I should have told him."
He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer into his body. It was the only comfort he could give. "He knew," he said, his voice low and soothing.
Silent tears slid down her cheeks as she stared straight ahead, trying not to look at the ornate casket that held his empty body. "He didn't," she murmured before dropping her head into her hands and sobbing. "How could he?"
Draco wrapped his other arm around Hermione's shaking body and stroked her disheveled hair. "Because he was your father, Love," he answered. "He knew."
