The day had come. Lucius Abraxas Malfoy was being laid to rest after a terrible curse led to his demise. Cienna sighed about going. She had physically and emotionally scarred her grandmother, furious of the old witch's aggressive critique of her sexuality. When Narcissa was found, the manor had been placed on lockdown for the fear Lucius's killers had come back for his wife. Her parents were disappointed at what she had done, especially Draco who threatened to kill his daughter if Narcissa was harmed again. Scorpius felt pity that his confidence in his sister may have caused the estranged relationship. After zipping up her silky black dress, she made her way to the Thestral carriage in the front yard, for the service was being held at a mossy, muggle chapel on the coast of Sweden. Scorpius followed her into the carriage, Draco and Hermione soon after, before Narcissa stepped in, stony faced, clutching a furry, rose pink handbag and a soft, soaked Hankerchief which now looked like a damp rag. Lucius's coffin had been apparated to the chapel by Snape. The inner Malfoys arrived to see around 150 death eaters and their families gathered outside the chapel, dressed in a somber mood for their dear comrade. At the top of the church stairs, stood Lord Voldemort, disguised as an Albanian noble. Bellatrix cried on Rodolphus's shoulders as the coffin was carried to the altar of the chapel. Voldemort led his "disguised death eaters" in, as even he, the most powerful dark wizard , couldn't help but shed a tear. As the priest humbled on in Swedish (they're in Sweden god dammit!) Scorpius and Cienna held hands as their grandmother wept on her knees at their grandfather's casket. "WHY, WHY DID THE LORD TAKE YOU, YOU WERE SUCH A DEVOTED MAN, SO LOVED" she wailed as Bellatrix eventually pulled her away so the pallbearers could take the coffin to Snape's special apparation carriage, in preparation for burial at Malfoy Manor. Druella and Merope came up to the Malfoys and gave them all a crushing hug, accompanied by a sweet kiss. "Such a humble man, my son never stopped talking about him" whispered Merope. "May he rest in peace" added Druella. Following Lucius's burial, where Theodore Nott almost fell in the hole after accidentally being tripped by Pansy, the two Malfoy children remained at the graveside while the congregation drifted back to the manor for refreshments. "Scorpius, what would grandfather think of my actions towards grandma?" asked Cienna. "He would probably be displeased, but he would eventually forgive you. It's going to take a miracle to repair your relationship with her. Not to mention she's Grieving" replied Scorpius. "I feel digusted by what I've done" she said. "It will take time, then we'll see what the future has in store for us" said Scorpius. The two siblings eventually went back to the Manor
