Destined to be a Malfoy

Chapter 16: Obscuro

Obscuro: Causes a blindfold to appear over the victim's eyes, obstructing their view of their surroundings.

~Just like how they were before. The constellations were separated on different ends of the sky. It was as if the sun and moon pushed them away. Sadly, they were blending well together before the separation.~

~Lumos~

Ara lifted her head before it fell back on the bed, it was heavy.

When she opened her eyes, she felt dizzy, she must have fallen hard when McGonagall...told her the news. 

She could see a blurry Hermione and Ron hovering over her, they smiled when she looked at them.

"Ara, are you quite alright?" Hermione inquired.

"Mm just dizzy." She mumbled.

"Yes that often does happen-" Hermione froze, coughing and looking at Ron for support.

Ron shrugged and changed the topic to Dumbledore's and her father's funeral.

~

  Ara got ready for her father's funeral. She looked terrible, her eyes puffy from the tears and her awful sudden paleness, worsened her appearance.

"Let's go, it's time," Hermione whispered.

Ara sat in the second row where people were honouring Dumbledore, most looked shocked or sad but Ara paid no attention. After Dumbledore's funeral, the tomb was placed away then came Ara's father's tomb. The crowd dispersed after realizing the new tomb of no importance to them. 

Ara walked up to the front and glanced at her father's figure. His face was peaceful but around his neck......Ara peered closely....were two fang marks as if he were bitten. She gasped but she had a small audience to attend to. 

She would find out soon.

"My...my father was as important to me as Dumbledore was to everyone. He was my family and he loved me so even if I were a witch, even if I were a troublemaker. He always loved me. How he...he died was unexpected and....tragic but he will always be remembered as a hero. My hero." 

Ara looked up at the sky, her eyes watering a little but her voice strengthened, she had to be strong for him, 

"Dad, if you're listening, remember I love you and I always will. I'll always be your raspberry and I'll behave properly. I wish for another moment to be with you. Rest in peace dad, you deserve it."

Everyone murmured a 'rest in peace' before standing up to pay their respects to the tomb. Ara moved from the front, walking when she saw a blur of blond hair. 

She shrugged it off thinking, 'it was probably Luna or blond'. 

Ara walked around slowly trying to avoid the crowd when she witnessed Harry talking to Ginny.

'They're perfect for each other.' She thought sweetly.

But both Harry and Ginny looked sad, 

'Oh, he's breaking up with her for her safety. I remember Hermione mentioning it.'

At the thought of breaking up, Ara suddenly felt a pang of pain in her head and her chest area. It was as if that topic were a sensitive part of Ara's heart and mind.
