Chapter thirty six - A drink for the lost

Walburga's body's was discovered by some first years on their way to a Care of Magical Creature lesson. The castle was in complete shock. The ministry was called into to conduct an investigation on the treatment of students at Hogwarts. Everyone was on constant surveillance, the Halloween party was cancelled and the sixth years were even given a few weeks of just to adjust to Walburgas passing. 

The threats on the walls were gone and everything seemed to go back to normal. After the ministry ruled Walburgas death a suicide her parents came to claim her body. Lots of the Blacks believed that she should be burred amongst her family but Dippit insisted that she be burred on the school grounds to commemorate her efforts as a student.

 On the day of the funeral the school gathered on the edge of the forest and took their seats. Live, Alexa, Theo and the rest of the Slytherin took up the first few rows behind the family. Everyone was dressing in black, Walburgas mother was covered in a black vail that masked her features. Soon the grounds were filled with hundreds of students each experiencing different emotions. Walburgas gang of friends were sat by the family, balling their eyes out. One by one people stepped up and gave a short speech to commemorate the memory's they had with the deceased. 

Tom was asked to give one as he was Slytherin prefect with Walburga, but by the lack of tears on his face was clear that he really couldn't care. "The death of Walburga Black was tragic to many. She represented Slytherin with her ambitious nature. It was sad to go her life go to waste" Tom quickly stepped down from the podium and took his seat next to Live.

 Their eyes met and Live couldn't help but give him a small smile. One Walburgas friends turned around and stared before muttering something along the lines of, 'how dare he flirt with Walburgas enemy at her funeral'.

 Live was dressed in a short lace black dress, some black heels with her hair tied up in Alexa's black flower pin. Tom couldn't help but stare at her exposed legs before placing his hand on her knee. 

Live felt her stomach flutter at his touch biting her lip as not to smile. She still had 2 more hours of her victims funeral to go. 

Toms eyes were getting tired, this was officially more boring than any of Professor bins lessons. At least he had her by his side to keep him company. Tom continued to move his hands up and down Lives thigh, he loved watching her squirm beneath him. 

Theo and Alexa were sat not far from the pair surprising their giggles. They found it hilarious that everyone was saying how her death was a tragic suicide when they were the ones that pushed her. "Lives enjoying herself" Alexa whispered nudging Theo a little. "Well yeah if I was in her place I would be enjoying myself to" He chuckled earning a very disapproving look form the cowed. 

Gwen was tapping her fingers on her leg as to try and control her laughter and Pamella and Janelle were gripping each other's hands tightly. They found it was their only method of self control. 

The funeral ended but not before a very emotional and strangely loving speech from her cousin Orion. Each student was given the rest of day off. Some students returned to their friends dorms others went to their own to catch up on some rest but the Lady's and Knights all returned to Tom and Averys dorm. 

"That was a journey to day the least" Malfoy laughed jumping on Averys bed and throwing his shoes into one corner. "You could say that again, move over" Alexa smiled taking off her heals and neatly placing them by the door then jumping on to Malfoy hugging him tightly.

 Each of the girls followed removing their shoes and rubbing her feet, no matter how many times they wear those blasted shoes it still ends up hurting. Live and Tom took the other bed and the rest of the gang took the floor covered in blankets and beanbags. Janelle, Pam, Gwen and Theo sat on a large pastel blue beanbag were Lastrange and Avery took the small ones were Notts bundled himself in some blankets.
