Naturally, the ceremony wasn't over quickly. It droned on and on and on until Hermione was convinced that half of the mourners were asleep with their eyes open. Eulogy after eulogy was presented extolling the virtues of the monster they were all made to serve. Yes, it was ostensibly a choice to follow the Dark Lord, but most knew better. If they wanted to get ahead in life or simply wanted to ensure that their family remained safe, many felt they had no other option. Each speech that was given was full of complete lies. Everyone knew it. The farce of a funeral was pathetic.
