A/N: I love Tom Riddle. He is my muse.
He inspires me to write. He is…braiding my hair. ~Sighs~ That boy’s got an obsession with my hair. Anyway, this
is the last chapter. Btw, I’m going by the theory that wizards live an
extended life.
I gotta
find a way to find a
Better day without you
And thoughts are hard to say
I miss you everyday
Now you’re not here with me
I never thought that you would leave me
Ooh, I know the time will make it easy
And you’ll never know how much I’m missing you
And all of the things that I’ve been going
through ooh ooh
And you’ll never know how I got through it all
Now baby I’m invincible oh oh
Like sunshine after rain
I’m on my own again
Without you I’ve had to let you go
I wanted you to know
That I’m still here for you
It doesn’t work when we’re together
Just good friends will last forever baby
And you’ll never know how much I’m missing you
And all of the things that I’ve been going
through ooh ooh
And you’ll never know how I got through it all
Now baby I’m invincible oh oh
You never told me it would end this way
I never said it was okay
I never told you to leave today
How could you leave me on my own- Invincible (Five)
Invincible
Lucius’ pov
75 years later…
Lucius stood quietly in the rain as his family
stood around a black casket. A hole was dug in the private cemetery on
the grounds of Malfoy Manor. Hermione, Ginny Thomas, Lenora, and Anne
were all quietly sobbing. None really noticed the rain, though it was
highly odd for it to be raining in the summer.
It was as if even the weather was mourning.
A poetic reporter would later say that the sky was crying for the death of the
Savior of the Wizarding World. For Harry Malfoy was indeed dead. He
died young for a wizard at 109. He died of something that was relatively
unheard of in a world where everything was curable. A
tumor. He had a brain tumor on the base of his spine and before it
was detected, he died in his sleep.
Lucius stood staring at the casket that held his
beloved Harry in it. He could not believe that after seventy-five years
of marriage he was alone. He felt Luke stand beside him and he amended
his thoughts, he had his children. And their families
as well.
“It will be ok, Father,” Luke said.
“No it won’t, Luke,” Lucius said. “But
I’ll try to live without him.” Luke smiled sadly at his father and he
hugged him gently.
The Malfoys, Blacks, Weasleys, and others looked
up towards the casket as a tall man with black hair stood by the casket.
“After Albus’ unfortunate passing a few years ago, it falls upon my shoulders
to perform this. It shocked everyone here when Harry passed on in his
sleep last week. I know it left a deep scar on my soul when I found
out. I can only imagine how Lucius felt.” The man looked at Lucius,
who had seemed to deflate at the man’s words. Lucius looked deeply into
the man’s obsidian eyes and he shared a moment of grief with Severus
Snape. “Harry was what all of us wanted to be. He was brave,
courageous, strong, handsome, powerful, and above all, he was kind. He
was kind to all, including the scum that raised him. I understand that he
even considered inviting them to his wedding, before Albus reminded him that
muggles couldn’t see the castle for what it truly was. Harry was that
kind of a person. He…” Severus seemed to choke a little, “he even found
it in his heart to forgive his despised potions teacher enough to come to care
for him. I was at my happiest when I was with him those six years, and I
loved him enough to let him be with the one he truly loved. And I never
regretted it. But I’d just like to say that I loved Harry James
Potter-Malfoy with all of my heart and I always will love him. It’s only
in recent years that I’ve been able to find happiness myself,” Severus smiled
at the strong form of Neville Longbottom and Neville smiled back. Severus
pressed two fingers to his lips and he then pressed them to the casket.
He walked back to the form of his fiancé, and Neville put his arm around
Severus’ shoulder.
Hermione walked up to stand next to the casket and
she faced the crowd. She raised a tear stained face to them and she began
to speak. “I met Harry on the Hogwarts Express as we were first coming to
Hogwarts and I was so surprised to see the boy I had read about right in front
of me. I know what people say about me, and it’s completely
correct. I am a bookworm, so when I saw him there he almost scared
me. There was the boy that had defeated You Know Who when he was only a
year old. But he wasn’t how I expected him to be. I expected him to
be proud and arrogant. I actually expected him to be exactly how my
husband was.” The crowd laughed. “But he wasn’t, he was sweet and
insecure. And when Ron and he saved me from the mountain troll on
Halloween, he had my friendship forever. From then on the Golden Trio was
formed and we’ve stayed strong ever since. Especially since we all three married Slytherins.
I just want to say that without Harry, I don’t think I would have survived
Hogwarts. Especially when the war started.
Thank you Harry, for being the best friend anyone could have.”
Draco walked up and he stood next to his
wife. “I can beat Hermione’s first meeting. Harry and I first met
on his birthday, right before we started school. We met in Madame Malkin’s shop when we were getting our uniforms for
school. We talked and I don’t think he was very impressed with me.
At school I arrogantly offered my friendship to Harry and he wisely
declined. After that came the largest rivalry to hit the school since our
parents were in school. It was only after ‘Mione
and I started dating that we were able to put our hatred aside and start
becoming friends. Of course, his crush on Father helped a lot. Then
he defeated You Know Who and he helped release Father from Azkaban.
That’s really where we started to get along. After all, you can’t really
hate the person your father is in love with, can you? Well maybe you can,
but no one can hate Harry for long. Believe me, I tried. So Harry,
mate, I just want to say I’ll miss you. Be safe wherever you are.”
Draco led Hermione away from the casket and back to the crowd. Lucius
knew that it was time for him to speak but for some reason his feet wouldn’t
move. He knew he was getting up in years at 135, but not so old that he
couldn’t move by himself. Luke helped his father stand by the casket so
that he could address the crowd.
“Thank you Luke,” Lucius whispered. Lucius
looked up at the crowd. “First I want to say thank you to all of you for
coming here to help me lay Harry to rest. I do not think I would have
been able to do it by myself. Severus, Hermione, Draco
those were lovely speeches and I guess it’s my turn. As you all know, the
first time I met Harry, he was only a baby. But he grasped my heart and
refused to let go of it. He held it in his hand from that day on.
As Severus said, it is hard for me to imagine the rest of my life without him
beside me, but I know that Harry would want me to continue living my
life. And I will, I’ll live my life then when it is time, I will join my
beloved Harry. I’m sorry that it’s not as grand and emotional as yours
was, but Harry knew I loved him. I made sure to tell him every day for
the last seventy-five years.” Lucius nodded to two wizards who would
levitate the casket into the hole so the mourners could throw in a handful of
dirt over the casket. The casket was lowered and Lucius grasped a handful
of dirt and he sprinkled it over the casket. Luke, Lenora, Jeremy, and
Anne followed suit along with Draco, Hermione, Remus, Sirius, Severus, Neville,
and the others. After the mourners finished, Lucius waved his wand and
the hole was covered, the headstone in place, and Lily
of the Valley’s growing on the grave.
Lucius walked up to read the inscription on the
headstone. It read,
Harry James Malfoy
July
31, 1980-Feburary 19, 2089
Beloved husband, father, friend
Boy Who Lived to
Defeat The Dark Lord
Lucius kissed it before whispering to it, “I’ll be
there soon love.” He turned toward the house and his daughters helped him
trespass the hills of the grounds. Jeremy and his husband followed them
along with Lenora and Anne’s husbands. Luke’s boyfriend of thirty years
helped support the devastated Luke when he broke down by the headstone.
The rest of the mourners walked into Malfoy Manor
to talk about Harry more.
7 years later…
Lucius sat up in the bed he had shared with Harry
for so long as he heard a noise in the room. He looked around and his
eyes rested on the most beautiful sight he had ever seen. Harry was
standing next to the bed, looking no older than 24,
and looking down at Lucius with love shining in his eyes. “Come home
love,” Harry said, holding out his arms. Lucius looked down to see the
old man he had become still lying on the bed with his eyes closed. Lucius
felt like he had when he had first gotten with Harry and he realized he was
dying. He held his hands out and Harry grasped them eagerly. Harry
wrapped his arms around Lucius and the two walked towards the tunnel of light
that had appeared. Just as they began to disappear, they kissed again for
the first time in seven years.
