Chapter 105 || Epilogue

AMELIA STOOD DRESSED IN BLACK FOR TODAY'S FUNERAL CEREMONY.

A funeral ceremony for all the war martyrs was to be held today. And Amelia stood in her room in Sev's old personal quaters in dungeons. Her room had been the same as ever she left the last time which was years ago.

But the pain from yesterday didnt end today, all of them had to face their dead loved ones for one last time and everyone was heartbroken. Even after lots of encouraging to herself to face everyone, Amelia couldnt compose herself, she could not face Fred, Tonks, Mike, she didnt had the courage to.

And she also knew she wasnt the only one, all the students of hogwarts were getting ready in their dorms for today's funeral ceremony. Amelia's heart ached after being informed that Andromeda will be arriving with Teddy soon for her daughter's funeral.

Amelia was dressed up in a black plain dress, which reached her knees and her hair left open. She tried very hard to cover her tear stained cheeks and puffy red eyes, and dark bags under them, but didnt mind if they showed because besides her everyone looked like this.

"Amelia, are you ready?" Lory called from the other spare room knocking on her door. Amelia glanced at the clock, it was 11:35 a.m. the funeral ceremony was to be started by twelve o'clock.

Amelia let out an exasperated sigh before glancing at her reflection in the mirror and turning towards the door twitching the doorknob. Lory stood there with a small warm infectious smile, which Amelia forced back. Both the girls made their way outside.

Even today's weather was ready to pour, dark clouds covered the castle, it could rain anytime soon, and all the families which were again gathered and crowded the ground standing near the coffins of their family members, friends they lost.

Weasleys stood near Fred's, Remus and everyone near Tonks', Estella sobbing standing beside Lyra, and many more. Meanwhile Amelia pondered where to go, she couldnt decide who among those three was more important to her, Mike had been playing the role of her elder brother since two years, Tonks was also like an older sister to her the whole time while she stayed at Grimmauld Place.

Then there was Fred who had been everything, supportive as a friend, protective as a brother, possessive as a boyfriend, everything. He was her bestfriend since the first day ever she met him. Him and George both, but there was something completely different about Fred, and she knew she was more attached to him than she was to George.

Sighing she darted her eyes away only to let them fall on another broken family, she didnt know who they were, she peeked a little to see who was layed in their coffin, it was Lavender Brown. A sharp gasp escaped Amelia's lips as she saw her ex-roommate, she didnt even know about her being one of the martyrs.

Lavender and Amelia were not even friends, both argued, and truly despised each other, Lavender always hated Amelia from the beginning for being Sirius Black's daughter, and eventually the feelings became mutual. But today it ached Amelia to see her there, quite and unmoving.

Amelia knew at that moment, deciding to come to this ceremony was a bad idea. She could not take this anymore, she could not see the people laying dead and silent, whom once she saw talking, joking and laughing around, she could not do this.

"Settle down please" Someone from the stage announced, Amelia assumed the person to be Professor Slughorn.

Everyone settled down and the ceremony began with Mcgonnacal addressing the crowd with a heartfelt speech mentioning the loss and the victory from yesterday. Amelia barely listened, she sat between Lory and Estella and Lyra to the other side of Estella, with her whole family.
