Day 13. Silk: The Face You Know and Cannot Bear to See

Kamerreon's Drabble Challenge -- A drabble a day until my imagination dies... hopefully that won't be soon.

Warnings: character death

Pairing: Harry/Draco

Word Count: 100

Draco is dressed in his best robes, surrounded by the finest silk. Harry knows this, because he arranged for it to be so. He can hear the guests murmuring and knows what they're saying. He’s been to enough funerals since the war ended to know that people always say the same things.

They will speak of how lifelike Draco looks, how beautiful he appears. They will expect him to speak approvingly of his love's empty shell, but he won’t bow to their expectations. Harry won’t let his memories of Draco be tainted by the sight of garishly painted, waxen flesh.
