Finding the Truth (Being edited)

chapter 23 - Is Death The End

Orla sat on her chair at the front of the audience as Hagrid walked down the aisle he held her daughters limp body in his arms, carrying her towards the coffin. He gently placed her while people went up to make speaches.

Orla was first staring infront of all of the students almost made her nervous she may be a marauderer but she'd spent the last thirteen years as Fawkes Dumbledore's trusty phoenix.

"Most of you probably didn't know my daughter to well but neither did I, she grew up without me and I apolagise to her for that. If I had been there maybe we wouldn't be here today. I miss my daughter. Every night at 10 or so, I would call Remus to check on her, Dumbledore was kind enough to let me use the floo powder. I miss my daughter. The smile on her face. The way when she was little she would laugh in her little laugh. When you love someone like I loved her, there’s a part of you it’s like you’re attached by this invisible tether, and no matter how far away you are you can always feel them. And now every time I reach for that tether I know there’s no one on the other end, and I feel like I’m falling into nothingness. And then I remember Ciarra. I remember a life lead with no enemies, no resentments, no regrets and I’m inspired to get up out of bed and go on. I miss my daughter so much it feels like piece of me has been ripped off. Just one more time I want to hold her. Just ten more seconds— is that too much to ask? For ten more seconds to hold her? But I can’t and I won’t and the only thing keeping me from being swallowed whole by sadness is that Ciarra would kill me if I did. So for now I’m just going to miss her. I love you Ci Ci. Rest in peace."

Orla blinked the tears out of her eyes only to see everyone in the audience were doing the same. Orla walked down as Remus walked up, she hated that Sirius couldn't be hear but she didn't want to lose everyone she loved.

When everyone had said their own good byes Orla let a few tears past she couldn't help it she fell of  her chair and sobbed onto the closed coffin she begged to hear her daughters voice one last time and then it happened her voice like gold raining down.

"Remember Mummy the phoenix rises from the ashes,"
