It came time for the funeral and I set in front of her casket, Percy beside me. Mr and Mrs. Weasley came but I ignored them as they came up to me.

"She needs time." Percy said as Arthur stared down at me.

"I wish the boys could have come, but with school and everything they couldn't get away." Arthur said sadly.

"She probably wouldn't want them here. She and the twins aren't talking still." Percy explained, rubbing my back.

"If she needs anything, we are here." Molly said as she walked away with Arthur.

But they wouldn't be here, not now and not ever. I was alone, well except for Percy and he wasn't always at the house.

"Today we mourn Eileen Snape, she was a loving mother and an even better grandmother. She is survived by her son, Severus Snape and granddaughter-"

Everything went quiet as I stared at the casket. For a second I had wished it was me in there and not her. I wished that she was still here instead of me.

I think if I actually had my mum or even Snape in my life it wouldn't hurt as much. But knowing that she was the last of my family that loved me, it hurt. It hurt to know the one woman who loved me was gone.

I felt so empty and so alone and it hurt so much. It wasn't until I felt a hand rub my back that I felt like I could breath.

"I got her." A voice said moving Percy away.

I turned and saw Moony sit down beside me. Almost instantly tears streamed down my face. He pulled me into a hug and kissed my forehead.

"I'm here... I'm here sweetheart." He whispered as he kissed my forehead over and over again.

I closed my eyes and leaned into his touch. Moony, he was my best friend and he was the only family I had ever had. When in doubt I think I always knew he would come.

When the funeral was finished and done with I found myself leaving with Moony.

"I'm going to take her home. I think she needs to be away from the drama... and with those that love her." Moony told Percy.

Percy didn't fight it, he allowed me to leave. When we finally arrived at Moony's house I was surprised to see Sirius waiting for us. He stood up upon seeing me and I felt my legs shake.

"She's.. she's actually gone." I whispered in shock.

I felt my legs give out right as Moony's arms wrapped around me. I smuggled into his chest as he held me up.

I was broken, with everything that was going on who could blame me for being so hurt. All I wanted was to die, but I knew I couldn't. I knew that wasn't what she wanted, she wanted me to live and make a life for myself. But a part of me thought that I wouldn't be able to do that, not now and not ever.

That night I slept beside Remus, who kept a tight hold on me. Sirius would come in to check on me every so often.

"Need anything?" Sirius whispered as he stood beside the door.

"No, I'm okay. I think she fell asleep." Remus whispered rubbing my back.

I hadn't, but I kept my eyes shut tightly.

"I didn't even know." Remus said shaking his head.

"Non of us did. Harry wrote to me saying that he didn't know until she wasn't in class and Mad-Eye told all of them. I can't imagine how she has felt these pst few months. She's been all alone." Sirius mumbled as Remus kissed my forehead.

"She's a strong kid."

"She shouldn't have to be.... This isn't what Cass wanted. She wanted Ebony to grow up loved and happy and... not alone. But seems that everyone leaves her." Sirius said sadly.

"I know... and I feel like it's my fault."

"You did your best. She knows that."

Sirius let out a scuff and I heard Sirius leave the room, leaving me with Remus. I felt myself drift to sleep, Remus humming into my hair and rubbing my back.

The next morning I woke up alone and instantly panicked. I jumped out of bed and rushed downstairs, only to see Remus making breakfast while Sirius read the paper.

"See this?" Sirius asked with a laugh.

It had a picture of both Harry and Hermione, and it said they were dating. Sirius folded it up when Remus motioned to me.

"Sleep well?" Sirius asked turning to look at me.

I nodded my head and he sent me a smile.

"Glad you are up. Been worried about you." He said softly.

"I want to go back to school." I said softly.

"You just went to your grandmother's funeral-"

"I know, but... I miss my friends." I said softly.

Sirius nodded his head and stood up.

"Okay, Remus will take you back. Promise to write us."

I nodded my head and Sirius pulled me into a hug.

"Thanks." I mumbled into his chest.

"I love you so much." He whispered as I closed my eyes.

"Love you too." I mumbled.
