Nothing Breaks Like the Heart (Harry Potter Fanfic)

47

Hermione stood beside Fenrir as she watched her Father was slowly buried in the ground of the Riddle Family Plot alongside his deceased family of both his muggle father and squib mother. And right beside him, Hermione's Mother. She had to show Fenrir, Scabior and Remus where her Mother's grave was and they unburied her and brought her here in a proper graveyard. Hermione knew this was how her Mother and Father would have wanted. To be buried together. 

Her hearing faded in and out as the Pastor read his sermon of their lost souls now in the golden paradise above them while she laid her head on Fenrir's shoulder.  Nagini laid at her feet, her body all tangled up around them. Bellatrix was a whimpering mess as Narcissa held Bellatrix against her side. The members of the Order did their best to show their concern and respect, but Hermione was sure everyone understood why they wouldn't. From the corner of Hermione's eye, she could see Harry and Ron shooting glances at her to make sure she was alright. 

Fenrir gently nudged his head against hers, his way of comforting her of her loss. Hermione took hold of Fenrir's hand as she buried her face into Fenrir's neck. Suddenly she found herself glancing upward and for a moment, she could have sworn on the hilltop a few yards away, stood her parents hugging each other as they looked down at her with large grins before vanishing. 

A few years had past and Hermione was now the Head of the Magical Creatures department and her boyfriend, Fenrir, was an employee of Fred's and George's joke shop, in charge of shipping and handling and restocking the shelves. Ron didn't like the fact Fred and George agreed to let Fenrir work for them and he didn't like it that Hermione was dating him, but she didn't care nor did Fred and George. In fact, Fred and George claimed it would be bad for business to get rid of him. 

Fred had once told her at dinner at the Weasley's house, that Fenrir was bringing in more customers... at least more lady customers and a few gentlemen. Which meant more money for the shop, which is why Fenrir has been given high paying bonuses and raises. Fenrir wasn't the only one enjoying his job. Hermione was thrilled to remove some of the horrible laws that have been placed especially on Werewolves. She had finally been able to put in laws to help werewolves have a fair chance of getting a job and to be taken care off as well. 

Of course the peace treaty so far has been working at best. Death Eaters were learning more about muggles and being taught the important of not being prejudice towards people. 

Hermione had a hard time when Umbridge's trial came up.  Bellatrix was there, but even though she was sent to stop Hermione from trying anything, Hermione could feel Bellatrix had wanted to rip Umbridge open as much as she did. Which is why Narcissa was there as well. Umbridge was sentence to life in Azkaban. Once she was sentence, Hermione had to take the rest of the day off. She need to be by herself for a moment. Of course, Hermione knew she wasn't entirely alone. 

Nagini had moved in with Hermione since she was her Father's pet so it made since for Nagini to be Hermione's now.  Hermione laid on the bed with Nagini all rolled up beside her. She was staring at the photo of her Mom and Dad dancing in the photo when she heard the front door open and shut. 

"Hermione?" Fenrir called out to her. 

"Up here," Hermione replied. She listened as Fenrir made his way to their bedroom. He leaned against the doorway. 

"I heard the trial was today. How are you feeling?" Fenrir asked while he walked over to her. Hermione shrugged her shoulder. 

"Still wished you let me kill her." Hermione mumbled as Fenrir sat down by her legs. 

"And let you scoop down to her level? I don't think so. You are too good of a person to let yourself put yourself as low as she was." Fenrir stated to her, placing his hand on her hand and gently rubbing it with his thumb. Hermione nodded as she felt tears start to form in her eyes. 

"Oh Hermione, come here." he mumbled as he crawled over and laid down beside her, holding her into his arms. 

"Promise me you won't leave me," Hermione found herself begging him. Fenrir nudged his head against her. 

"Baby, I'm not going anywhere." He whispered into her ear as they laid there till they fell asleep.
