The Consequence Of Power

Where Flowers Bloom

"Draco why did you want to come with?" She asked him while they waited in the carriage as Severus buried her parents because she couldn't bear to do it. "I already told you, I could not stay there with him after seeing him about to kill you. It was the most gut wrenching sight"
"But I tried to kill him, what makes me any different?"
"I don't know, it just is, I'm not mad at you for what you did, I've wanted to escape that man for years, but seeing him die, I don't know about that"
"That's why I didn't do it, anyway, you know eventually you will see him"
"I know but I just want to not think about him right now" She looked at his arm and saw something under his sleeve, something on his skin "whats that?" She asked him
"What?" He looked up at her "your arm" He quickly looked down at his arm and pulled his sleeve down "nothing" "But I saw-" Severus opened the carriage door "Rhiannon, it's done, I made sure they were together"
"Can I say bye before we go?"
"Of course"
"Do you want someone to come with you?" Draco anxiously asked "I need to do this alone" She smiled at him "Yeah, of course," He sat back in his seat, she walked out of the carriage over to the graves, she chose such a beautiful spot, middle of nowhere, under a tree, now they could finally have peace and be away from this terrible world she brought them into.

Draco looked out the window to watched her say goodbye to her parents, she kneeled in between the graves "Draco, you know your father will request you to go back home," Severus told him
"I simply won't go, not after seeing what he has done to her"
"To her?" Severus raised his eyebrow at him "And me of course" He looked back out of the window, seeing her put her hands on the graves, flowers started to bloom, red roses on the fresh dirt from her touch "I didn't know she could do that" His eyes lightened "There are a lot of things she can do...Malfoy" He looked over at Severus "Is she more powerful than Voldemort?"
"Maybe...." She walked back over to the carriage, she looked amazing in that dress, he was so glad she wanted it back, that dress was made for her.
"Im ready to go," She entered the carriage, Severus held his hand out to help her inside "Thank you, Severus" She sat down next to Severus, crossing her legs and staring out the window as tears leaked down her face. He just wanted to grab her and hold her until she was okay, but it was not in his nature to be caring as much as he wanted to.

"Severus can we stop at the Three Broom Sticks please I need to relax somewhere"
"Yes, whatever...you need" They stopped in front of Hogsmeade, Draco quickly got out and held his hand out "Thank you" She said grabbing his hand to step off from the carriage. Her and Draco walked into the Three Broom Sticks "I'll get you whatever you want," Draco insisted "Really?"
"Yeah, it's the least I can do"
"Okay, I'll just get a butter beer"
"You must be hungry?"
"I suppose, but I cant eat, ill barf"
"I'll get you some food anyway, go sit" She sat down at a booth, not caring what people thought about the scratches and blood all over her body and face. She still was crying and spacing out from how traumatic everything was. She got interrupted from her thoughts as Draco came back, placing a bowl of soup and a butter beer in front of her "Thank you, Draco, wheres your food?"
"Im not hungry" They sat in silence, not because there was nothing to talk about, it was a very rough night and he understood she needed silence and space. She took small spoonfuls of the soup, she could barely eat but she needed to eat something, she barely ate anything all day. "Why aren't you eating," Draco asked
"Im trying okay" She snapped, slamming her hands on the table "Hey, don't get angry with me" He snapped back "Im sorry" She looked down at her bowl, feeling herself tear up, "I need to use the toilet" She quickly got up, opening the door to the lavatory, sitting on the toilet, crying, she felt so angry, this was her fault, her parents wouldn't be dead if it wasn't for her. She cried so hard she felt sick and light-headed, she couldn't breath. She tried to stand up but felt so dizzy, stumbling to the sink, but collapsed on the floor.
