The way Harry Potter felt as he stared at his girlfriends dead body was something he hoped to never ever feel again.
"Lily! Lily!" His father had screamed in terror the second they had gotten back. Everybody woke up, everybody rushed down, and everybody was the horrifying image in front of them.
Lottie's ginger was sticky with blood, her clothes could hardly be seen through the thick shade of red that had replaced them. Her eyes were closed and her body was unresponsive.
"Dad," Harry had whispered, tears flooding his eyes. "Dad wake her up!"
"Harry...son...she's gone."
Theodore Nott had tried his hardest to wake her, shaking her and begging for her to wake up as tears streamed down his face, his best friend - no - his sister - was dead, laying in front of him. It was an unmatched pain.
Alexander Rosier had a completely different reaction. The second he saw her sprawled out on the ground he hand ran to the toilets, throwing up everything inside of him and sobbing over the toilet. Charlotte had been such an important figure in his life, and seeing her lifeless frame had sent him into such atrocious agony that he didn't know what to do with himself.
Harry could hardly remember his own reaction. He stood there, unable to move, unable to breath. Someone may as well have just shoved a knife through his heart.
"Did you do this?" He had shouted at Remus Lupin, the man was sitting on the floor, shaking as he cried.
"Harry-" Remus had croaked out.
"I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I hope you rot in azkaban for this! Fuck you!" Harry had screamed. He had no regrets, he still hated the man to this day, they day of his girlfriends funeral.
Everything had changed since that day. Charlotte had been taken to St Mungos and the aurors had taken Remus away. Everybody else was left to mourn alone.
"Let me tighten your tie, son," James said quietly. It was the day of Charlotte Lupin's funeral, and nobody had gotten over their pain. "We're leaving in a moment."
Harry looked up at his dad, tears in his eyes as he fixed his tie. "I'm so sorry Harry. If I had known that this was going to happen...I never would've let the full moon happen, I never would've let them do this together."
Harry didn't respond. Tears fell freely down his cheeks no matter how hard he tried to stop them. "I miss her so much dad!" He sobbed, and James held his son close to him. "I hate this so much! I love her! I want her back!"
"I know," James responded, only holding his emotions together so that he could support his son. "Me too."
James and Lily had been doing awfully. Trying to care for their two children, their friends, trying to get their best friend out of azkaban and trying to keep themselves together was awful. Not to mention they still had to run the orphanage. The pair were struggling, their mental health deteriorating as they tried their hardest to hold everybody up.
"James!" Marlene called from downstairs, "we've got to go!"
"Come on, son. We need to go."
"Okay," Harry sniffed, though he wanted nothing more than to lay in his bed and cry.
When they reached the hallway downstairs, Euphemia Potter embraced her grandson into a hug and kissed his forehead, whispering kind words into his ear in an attempt to help him, but it just made him want to cry more.
Harry missed his best friend. His girlfriend. The girl he wanted to marry and have children with. The girl he wanted to spend his life with.
The car ride to the cemetery hall was silent, everybody was stiff and overwhelmed with emotions. Nobody knew what to do or how to act; they hadn't lost a loved one since Addie had died.
Remus Lupin had been allowed to attend the funeral, after James had pulled a few strings with his connections in the ministry, though Harry avoided him with his life.
"I'm so sorry," Remus sobbed into Sirius' neck. "I'm so so sorry...to everyone."
"You shouldn't be there, mate, we're sorting it out for you. We're going to deal with this and get you back," James was promising.
"I killed someone," Remus whispered, "I killed my daughter James, of course I deserve to be there!"
"You don't," James promised. "We'll talk about this after the ceremony, I promise, but we need to respect everyone around us and say our goodbyes to the girl we loved, come on."
Theo and Alex were sitting together. Neither of them had had a day of peace since they saw Charlotte. Theo smoked cigarettes an drank alcohol to keep him going; he was falling apart and nobody knew how to save him. Alex couldn't eat, he couldn't stop crying, he didn't know how to deal with all of these emotions and he felt like he was just going to explode. How was he going to live with this? How was he going to live without his best friend?
Erin Johnson walked in with her parents, and Theo clenched his fists. Harry stood up. Alex froze.
Harry, who was unable to control any emotion in his body stormed over to her and glared. "What the fuck are you doing here? Why the fuck are you crying?"
"It's just so painful," Erin sobbed, "she was once my best friend, I can't believe...I can't believe she's gone and her last memory of me was me being a bitch."
"This is the consequence of your own actions!" Harry raised his voice, and Lily rushed over, moving him out of the way and pointed to his seat.
"I'm so sorry," Lily shook her head, "he's hurting, I know it's not an excuse, but he's not doing well..."
"You're okay Mrs Potter," Erin's mum smiled, "we'll find our seats, we understand."
"Thank you."
The ceremony was quick and peaceful. It was one filled with tears and quite sobs of the people who loved Charlotte. Speeches were given and goodbyes were said, and soon enough it was time for the burial.
Lyall, Remus, James, Harry, Theo and Alex carried the coffin to Charlotte's grave. She was hurried by her mother, and not too far away from Kaycie Lloyd.
Her gravestone read:
Charlotte Hope Lupin
28/03/1980 - 27/07/1996
A loving daughter, granddaughter, sister and friend
It was the end of her story, an ending that caused pain amongst all, an ending of sorrow and sadness.
