Hermione's Prov:                                                                                                                                                            It was has been the whole day and dad still hasn't shown any nice of conscious. We sent a letter to our friends and Professor Mcgonnagall that we might be late or we might not come today at all. Blaize won't talk. Me and mum and have been silently crying, of course showing the signs.

We haven't eaten any thing either, no one is hungry, i have just lost my appetite for the whole day. We didn't tell anyone that dad might not make it, i couldn't bring my self to that point. Right at that time the doctor came in and we three stood up with hope in our eyes 

"He is awake," He said as he steps aside to let us go

Mom started to wipe her tears as me and Blaize bolt for dad's door and go inside. I see him on the hospital bed, his face paler than usual and different colored wires attached on both his arms. There were two chairs near the bed, we both sat on the chairs as mom came from behind and sat on the edge of his bed, looking a little calm for his sake, but me and Blaize showed no sign of calmness. 

"Dad, how are you?" Blaize asked 

"I am...good" He said with a cough 

He was about to get up from his lying position, when mom laid him back down, even against his protests of him being fine, but we knew more 

"Don't look.....calm," Dad said to mom as he took one of her hands in his weakly 

"What do you mean?" Mom said holding back tears 

"That i...won't make it," Dad said as mom was tearing up "Please don't cry" 

"I don't want you guys to ruin your happy times because of me," Dad said 

Their was a knock at the door, it opened and the doctor was their with another file in his hands. He came and checked something on the those beeping machine thing. I was studying him as his expression changed from calm to worried, he wrote something inside the file and then turned  to us his gaze not leaving the machine 

"I am really sorry to say this but i am afraid that, you have to say your good byes to him," He said and with that he left the room 

I sat watching dad as he eased up on his bed a little giving mom space to sit comfortably. I was already in tears more just came, i sensed Blaize tensed near me and mom was crying

"Let's not waste this time on mourning," Dad said "i would start with Hermione and end it with your brother,"   

My gaze averted from the ground to my father, a few tears escaping my eyes knowing that this his form of goodbye, something i am not ready for, at least not right now 

"I am really sorry Hermione, i missed half of your life. Your first steps, first words i missed it all, but i promised that i will be there for the rest and couldn't even keep it, but i love you Hermione," He said and i could see tear on his face 

I got from my side and sat at the other side of him opposite mom. 

"I forgive you dad, it was either that, or giving my self to Voldemort," I said cringing a little at his name "You or mom would never purposely hurt us, i love you too," 

I went in for a hug but not that tight. Dad then held my mothers hand, and kissed them lightly 

"I am sorry if i did anything wrong," he said and mom shakes her head "But know that i always loved you, no matter what," 

"I could never hate you," she said ad leaned for a light kiss

Blaize then came from his seat and was standing in between me and mom, then we could hear the machines slowing down a bit than their normal beating, it only meant one thing 

"We are losing him aren't we?" I asked Blaize in my head 

"Yeah," he whispered back before father started to talk 

"Blaize, i have never doubted your courage at any point. I knew that what ever you do is causing someone's good. You were always the son that i wanted and what this family needed aside all those bad memories that have represented this family for centuries, you and Hermione changed that," Dad said but then started coughing 

"Thank you, father" Blaize said and kept his hand on his 

"Take care of them," He said to Blaize 

Then the machines stared to get low and dad was losing his oxygen. Blaize tried doing different spells making him live for a little longer but no use, I went out side and yelled for a doctor. The same doctor came and made some adjustments to the machine but nothing. 

"DAD?" Me and Blaize yelled at the same time 

But no use, i saw as life was sucked out of my father's body. I tried my best to not scream his name again. Blaize was trying again and again pumping his heart with his hands but no use the doctor than moved as aside him as the nurse came with a white sheet and put it over my Father's body, i couldn't believe it 

"Mom," i see her crying even more, i don't blame her though

 I went hugged her tight, as we both cried on the sadness, From the corner i see Blaize wiping his tears and talking to the doctor at the same time, I see a water decpenser, so i part from mom and bring her a glass of water. Which i make her drink against her protests 

"Hermione," Blaize called out and i turn around 

"The doctor said that they will give us dad's body back in time for the funeral," He said almost chocking out the last part "You go back to the others, i will take mom home," 

"No, Blaize," I say "I am not leaving mom alone at this point, especially not right now,"

"I know, but the other deserve to now as well," He said with an arm on my shoulder "I would send you with mom, but you yourself are not in a good condition

I nod, and walk back to mom, giving her a tight hug as Blaize settles something else with the doctor and then approaches us, i then give him a hug as well, not wanting to leave either of them but i have to. The i see Blaize wave to me before he apparates back to our manor 

I give a last glance to my father and then took my wand from my back pocket and apparate before i start to tear up again

"Hermione!" I heard as i appeared in the middle of the common room

"Where is Draco?" I asked my head dizzy 

"He is gone, Mcgonnagal called him," I think i heard Ginny say 

My head was feeling so heavy and i couldn't balance my self properly 

"Hermione?" I heard Harry's voice as he came beside me 

I couldn't feel anything but hurt and pain. My head was already so heavy before but now it was crushing e,m with the headache, the last thing i remember was Harry calling my name before darkness took over and Harry catches me before i could hit the floor
