thirty-two.

Students at Hogwarts had a week off to morn the loss they had experienced and Y/N traveled with the Malfoy family with her father's body in a pure blood coffin in the back of the carriage. A funeral ceremony was going to be held in Derbyshire, where both the Snape family home and Malfoy Manor were located, in a high-class muggle neighbourhood. Lexia Young was buried in the Hardwick Hallow Graveyard, with her own family buried there as well as most of the Blacks and Malfoys, it was known as a rich blood graveyard. Severus was going to lay to rest next to his love forever and sooner than expected, but Y/N wanted her father to be safe now that he had fought his battle.

Y/N stood in front of the many family and friends that attended Severus' funeral as they watched his casket being lowered in the ground and Y/N taking her time to place a white tulip on his fresh buried grave as she looked towards the black and gold tomb stone.

read her mothers. It was known that witches and wizards would never revisit a graveyard until someone else died and was ready to be buried out of respect for the spirits new homes they were laid to rest in. Y/N felt a tear fall and smiled towards her mothers grave, "finally reunited in the after life" Y/N whispered as she stood up and walked towards the carriage.

Y/N looked out as guests filled Malfoy Manor's mini hall and they all wore black with an emerald touch to their clothes. Y/N looked down at her paper she had written her speech on and back up to the crowd who were waiting for her to speak. Y/N looked towards Bellatrixs who smiled at her and walked towards her, placing her arm around her shoulder in comfort as Y/N began to speak. "My father was knew as the professor of potions for many years after his own professor of potions Horace Slughorn retired. My father was also known as the head teacher of Slytherin house who he also took from Slughorn, but during his last years, many may remember him as taking over dark arts or becoming headmaster of Hogwarts. To everyones surprise even I was shocked to learn about my fathers new positions in the little of two years. I never saw my father much after he became headmaster but I knew he always made time for me when I needed it most. Now I stand here alone with myself as my last family member has gone, been taken away too soon for me to realise what has happened again. People think being alone makes you lonely, but I don't think thats true. Being surrounded by the wrong people is the loneliness thing in the world, but I'm lucky that I'm surrounded by those who love and support me like I'm their own family" Y/N said as she looked up at Lucius and Narcissa who smiled towards Y/N as Lucius held onto Narcissa. "I never knew my mothers lasts word but my father always told me she said something about the stars aligning themselves every time I looked up to talk to her. My fathers last words I heard perfectly and I hear him say it every time I close my eyes. My father had told me that I was very brave, and that my mother would have been very proud of me. He was proud of me himself and had told me to stay strong, not just for myself" Y/N said and looked up at Draco who was sitting with Blaise holding Pansy's hand in his. "But for Draco as well, my father was always annoyed about how me and Draco were always flirting or hanging around each other too much. But today he wouldn't have changed anything, he knows that I would do anything for Draco, as Draco would do the same for me" Y/N said as she saw Draco smile to himself as Blaise patted his best friend's back. "My father also told me that he'll miss me before death took over his dark eyes I once looked into for reassure that my mother was going to be fine. My father wasn't just someone I looked up to, but was someone who I could fall back on when times were hard and I think he'll be missed dearly in different ways around." Y/N said and every clapped for the young girl as Bellatrix pulled her into a hug.
