Grayson's pov-
It had been two agonising long weeks. Two weeks since she left me. Their funeral was today and I knew they would want me to attend it so that's what I did. I walked towards grace who was crying but I continued walking as I couldn't even face her freinds

I sat next to the people who cared about her and him the most.  Memories ran through all our heads as I had tried to compose myself. This feeling of death wasn't only around me but I felt it inside. I felt as if I was dying, my emotions all controlled and morphed into one which was grief.

"Today we acknowledge a really terrible loss. Cedric diggory and Athena rose as we all know were exceptionally hard working and fair minded. And most importantly they were both a great friend.  think therefore you have the right to know exactly how they died.
You see, they were murdered by Lord Voldemort. The ministry of magic does
not wish me to tell you this. But not
to do so I think would be an insult
to his memory. Now the pain we all feel
at this dreadful loss reminds me, reminds us that while we may come from different places and speak in different tongues, our hearts beat as one. In light of recent events the bonds of friendship we made this year will be more important than ever. Remember that and Cedric Diggory and Athena rose will not have died in vain, you remember that. And we'll celebrate a boy and a girl who were kind and honest and brave and true right to the very end" he ended the speech and I couldn't compose myself much longer as I kept crying. We were allowed to say a few words if we wanted and Scott wanted to do he was up first
"I don't know if you know me but I- I Uhm recently joined the school so I could be with my freinds, one of them being Athena. She welcomed me into the school so quickly and I have never felt more at home then I did here. Cedric diggory welcomes me too because that the type of guy he was. that's why they were taken so soon because they were too good for this world . Maybe they did both die a too soon death but they will always be remembered because they were the greatest two people that I have ever met" he said his voice cracking multiple times
"And there is no way in hell I am going to forget those two. They are heroes in my eyes. The greatest love story ever written" many people sent sympathy smiles his way and I kept sniffling to keep it all in. How was he so brave when the worst thing has happened? I only wished I had half the courage as I couldn't even bring myself to say her name. He sat back down and none of us could bring ourselves to go up there. I felt like I was being drained. Drained so much that I couldn't feel anything anymore. Is this what losing someone you love feels like? This constant pain knowing you're never going to see them again?
"I....I...." Chris took a deep breath as he wanted to speak as no one else could do it.
"She wrote us letters just in case anything happens to her. And I want to read mine.
Dear Chris,
If you are reading this, something may have happened to me and you are probably thinking I left you. I once told you that I will never leave you and I will always keep that promise. I want you to live you're life, I don't want you to be sad all the time since that isn't how my life should be celebrated.I fell in love, I made great friends and most of all I am content with my life. So I want you to be for yours too. Life is so precious and fragile, don't take advantage of it" he said crying as some of the words could be barley understood.
"A-And that's what she sent me. She did live a great life and I will not let that be mistaken as a life too short as she lived and loved all that she could. Those two people promised each other that they would get married one day. He even asked for our permission to ask to live together and they were prepared to live their life together as long as they could. And Cedric did plan to um...ask her to marry him when school ended. She had talked about their marriage for ages and Cedric gave me the rings to look after them. So I only feel it's right for them to wear them..." he took two rings out of his pocket and some people gasped as it wasn't a shock that they wanted to get married but the shock that he had bought the rings already.
"Here lies Cedric and Athena diggory, lost but never forgotten" dumbledore shouted. Those words kept ringing in my ears every time someone spoke and I couldn't shake the feeling off.
I left the hall and walked past their lockers, they had a giant amount of flowers and pictures put up on them. One of them stood out the most to me and that was of Cedric and Athena smiling widely as the picture moved they both looked at each other lovingly and then kissed. Losing them both was like losing myself and I didn't know what else to do but run.... As I ran from my friends the tears in my eyes turned the rainy day into a whirlwind of grays and yellows. I sped past Draco who was upset as well.

I slammed into the bathroom door. I didn't care who saw. I just broke down. The sobs punched through, ripping through my muscles, bones, and guts. I pressed my forehead against the grimy stall door and began to let my heart yank in and out of my chest. It pulled back in like a yo yo. Over and over. In and out. I was hollow. My life crumbled in my fingertips.
