Falling In Love With A Slytherin

Chapter 14

Elizabeth's POV:

It took two hours to get to the cemetery. Once we arrived, Professor McgonaGall and I walked out of the car and head inside the iron gates where all the tombstones were placed.

One by one we pass different people's tombstones until we reached my mother's.

Right in front of me was my mother's dull and simple tombstone. Written on it was 'Here lies Amelia Swan. An amazing witch, a caring person and a loving mother. You will always be missed."

Tears were already rolling down my cheeks, once I saw my mother's tombstone. I kneel right in front of it and hug it so tight, sobbing.

Professor Mcgonagall wore a pained and sad expression on her face. She puts her hand on my shoulder and pats it gently. Trying to comfort me in a way.

"I miss you so much mommy. You don't know how much I wish you were here with me right now." I say through my sobs.

It took me a few minutes to calm down. Professor Mcgonagall stayed by my side and let me grieve. Every few seconds she would rub my back or lightly squeeze my shoulder to let me know that she's here for me.

"Miss Swan?"

I turn my head to face Professor Mcgonagall.
"My dear. I will leave you alone and let you spend time with your mother. I'll just be at the next town over not too far away from here to pick up a few things. I'll be back by 5:00. I'm sure that will give you enough time."

I nod my head.

She gives me a small smile and starts to walk away.

I turn back my attention to the tombstone and sat down on the ground with my legs crossed.
"Hi mom. How are you doing up there? It's another year passed here with you gone in my life.' I sigh sadly.
"But I know your up there watching me. By the way say hello to Fred for me and tell him that his little duckling is doing absolutely fine. That's what he calls me." I chuckle lightly.

"I'm doing excellent in school . You would be absolutely proud of me. Plus I'm really good in potions class like you were. The Weaseleys have been taking good care of me. They actually treat me like I'm their own daughter. You would absolutely love all of them. They are happy, very close to one another and just pure joy to be around with. I think you and Molly would be best friends. Plus Arthur is a father that I never had. He treats me and Ginny like princesses since were his only girls he says."

"Ron and I haven't been in good terms lately. To be honest all we do is fight and avoid each other. Just because he won't accept the fact that I've been close to Draco and that we've been getting along as good friends. I understand that Ron's intentions are good and that he wants to protect me. But sometimes he goes absolutely over board to the point that it suffocates me and he tries to decide for me. I swear it's just absolutely ridiculous." I groan as I shake my head.
"As much as I try, I really cant be fully mad at Ron. He is like an older brother to me and I love him dearly. Just like Ginny, Harry and Hermione. They're my family."

"Draco on the other hand... I don't know what we are, we bicker a lot with each other and he can be mean at times. But at the same time he's sweet, caring and thoughtful. He surprises me everyday on how he acts. He actually even saved my life twice. Can you believe that? Even though he was forced to join and to become a Death Eater, he has a heart." I tell my mother as I start to think about him in my mind. A smile starts to slowly creep up to my face.

"I guess I can call him my friend because I do care about him a lot. I mean I took care of him when he was in the infirmary. Plus I opened up to him easily about my nightmares and my horrible memories about the battle of Hogwarts. You know I don't like opening up to people about my problems. But for some reason it was easy to do it with him."
