I lightly curled my dark hair. Putting light makeup on my soft skin. Slipping in my black long sleeved dress and little black heels.
I looked at my reflection in the mirror seeing Draco doing his black tie that matched his all black suit. Looking handsome as ever. He walked up behind me "are you ready?" he asked soft "yes" I said with one more deep breath. His took my hand and led me out of the door walking down each step with me.
People were already arriving some I knew some I didn't. Then I saw Blaise, Pansy, and Crabbe all dressed in the corner of the room. I pulled Draco that direction. "you look beautiful Grace" Pansy said coming up and hugging me "you too" I said hugging back. She broke the hug stepping back with Blaise he gave me a little nod. "you look just like mom" Crabbe said hugging me.
I never thought I looked much like my mother, but now that she is gone more of me hopes I do. So hearing him say that brought light to me. "Thank you" I said pulling away. As a group we walked outside to see it set up with chairs and flower. Draco slid his hand around my waist as I moved myself closer to him. "Grace" I heard a small voice call from behind me.
I turned to see a short kind lady. An old friend of my mothers. "Angela it is so nice to see you" I said walking away from everyone over to her. "you truly look beautiful and so grown up" "Thank you" I replied "So much like your mother" her words brought calming feelings. "I am so sorry for your loss" she said with sorrow "Thank you for your kind words but she was a great friend to you and I am sorry you had to loose her too" I said back.
"Oh thank you dear. You are so much like her. You both have very warm hearts and kind souls. People like you are once in a lifetime and I am lucky enough to have you both in mine" tears brimmed my eyes from her words. "Thank you so much" I said a tear dropping from my eye. I quickly whipped it away. "who are those people your standing with?"
"Those are friends from my school more like family to me at this point. The girl is Pansy she reminds me of you. The dark haired boy is Blaise a close friend of my brothers and I also Pansy boyfriend, and the tall blonde is Draco." I told her pointing to each as they looked off in the distance "The Draco is very handsome" she said looking at me with a smile "yes he is" I said back returning the smile
"Is he anyone special to you?" she asked me "uh yes he is he is my boyfriend" I said still shocked I am saying that "ah I see do you mind introducing me to him?" "Not at all" I answered back. I waved him over with a small wave. "Draco this is Angela my mothers close friend" I said introducing him to her "It is very nice to meet you" he said shaking her hand "Pleasures all mine young man. I hear your the hot boyfriend around here" she said laughing. What the hell.
I turned my head to her shaking my head no trying not to laugh as my face got warm. "Is that what you heard" he asked laughing "Yes Grace was just telling me your her boyfriend and from my judgments your a very handsome boy" I couldn't believe she was saying this right now.
My heart began to race from embarrassment "Well thank you" he said blushing. It was very cute the way he was with her he was kind and pure. "It looks like it is time to find our seats but it was nice meeting you and always nice seeing you again Grace" she said beginning to walk away "you too" Draco said before I said the same. "Hot boyfriend huh?"
"Please stop" I said laughing. He chuckled a little before grabbing my hand as we walked down to the chairs placed out. Sadness filling me again. We all sat together Crabbe, Blaise, Pansy, me, then Draco all in a row.
"Today we are here to celebrate the life of my wife Laura. She was an amazing wife, mother, and friend. Having the kindest heart and purest soul. Her smile would light a room and take someone out of the darkness they were in." My father spoke before us chocking up here and there. Tears started streaming down my face with each word.
" I remember the first day I met her. We were at school the classic hes a nerd and she is the hot one kind of story" the last words causing a few laughs. "She was perfect. I was lucky enough she chose me, and we got to have two beautiful kids." my father said looking our way.
Tears only rushed harder down my face my breathing becoming unsteady. I felt a cold hand squeeze mine. I looked down to see Draco's hand in mine. My father went on telling the story of my mother. She was truly the best I could have wrote a book on just her. I looked down the row to see Crabbe with tears on his cheeks.
Pansy's eyes letting go of tears as well as Blaise took her hand. "So today we will celebrate. Share tears and laughs about all the good times we had with her. Share the memories we got to create with her." My father announced as guys carried her casket down the aisle to where he was standing.
I cried harder knowing her lifeless body was laying in there. "Whenever you are ready you can come up here and say your final-ly... your finally goodbyes. Thank you all" My father told everyone having a hard time with the last part. He stepped down and walked over to some people. Everyone started getting up and going to the casket before returning back in the house or somewhere else outside.
"Do you want to go up?" Draco asked turning and looking at me. I nodded my head yes. "Do you want me to come with you" "yes please" I said a few more tears dropping from my eyes. The two of us got up making our way to the front. He stayed a little behind me giving me some privacy.
"gosh why did this have to happen" I said touching the casket "I miss you so much. Our laughs and smiles even our bickering sometimes. There so much I wish I could tell you so much you would love to hear. I hope you are doing well and are happy. I am trying to stay strong but its hard without you. I could say so much but I don't want to cry anymore. Just know we will be okay eventually as long as your happy. I hope your proud of me and Crabbe. I love you so much mom and you will forever be will me. Goodbye." each word tears dropped from my eyes.
I touched the casket one more time before stepping back to Draco. "come here" he said grabbing me into his chest. I cried hard letting it out "why did this have to happen to her?" "I don't know Grace I am so sorry" he said trying to calm me down. He kissed the top of my head holding me tight.

"are you okay Crabbe?" I asked as me him and Blaise stood up from our chairs. "I am getting there just a little more time, and I need to know Grace will be okay then I will." he answered me
"She will be she just needs time and love from us" I told him rubbing his arm. "She will pull through shes strong" Blaise added trying to comfort Crabbe. "I am glad she has him" Crabbe said looking at Draco holding Grace in his arms. "me too" I said as we all watched them for a second.
They needed each other. Draco needed Grace but she needed him. I am worried sometimes how this is going to go. I want them to be together, but they have to have trust in each other, and always be there. Watching the way he is with her though shows me how much he really does care.
He might not be the easiest or nicest, but he has love in his heart and she is the one who brought it out. "Do you want to go up there?" Blaise asked Crabbe "I will when I am ready" he answered him. We all walked over to Draco and Grace.

I pulled away from Draco seeing Pansy, Crabbe, and Blaise walked over to us. Pansy grabbed me in her arms. Both of us shedding small tears. "I love you" she said holding me tight "I love you too" I said back.
We both pulled away going back to to the boys. Comforting each other in hugs. Draco, Blaise, and Pansy walked back up to the house giving me and Crabbe a moment. "She is so proud of you Grace" Crabbe said tearing up a bit. "She is so proud of you too" I said taking his hand in mind.
"She would want us to be happy" "I know" I said agreeing. We stood there for a minute just holding each others hand being with her once more. "I love you sis" he said hugging me "I love you too" I said hugging him tighter.
We both walked away back up to the house catching up with Draco, Pansy, and Blaise again. We all walked back inside sitting together as the night went on. People slowly started leaving until there were all gone. Many hugs and kiss from everyone.
"well I will see you kids in the morning" my dad said finishing cleaning. I walked over to him falling in his arms "I love you dad" "I love you too" he said holding me close. I let go and walked back over to them. "goodnight" Crabbe said to all of us. "us too" Pansy said grabbing Blaises hand. "goodnight guys" I said and they said back.
Me and Draco went up to my room. Changing out of our clothes and laying down with few words. He pulled me close I laid my head on his chest. I really did love him. So much. I let my eyes close and drift to sleep wanting this day to be over.
