As the death eaters spilled out from the Forbidden Forest only one thought went through the mind of Hermione Granger, 'I can't lose her especially with out her not knowing.' Her mind began to race as she surveyed the land, spells and curses began flying she shot some of her own but her mind was not on the battle it was on a pair of emerald eyes. Her legs began to work on there own as she ran through the ravage land and the crumbling school, she had just seen her but she was gone in a split second. Thoughts rushed her mind as she prayed that the older woman was alive, running up the main stairs of Hogwarts she stopped as her eyes landed on the older woman.
Minerva McGonagall stood dueling four wizards in a matter of a second she had two down for the count and another flying into and through the stonewalls of Hogwarts, the last opponent was proving difficult. The death eater through a killing curse that skillfully Minerva dodged and sent stunners directly at the death eater's heart, they hit perfectly. Shooting high up into the air the body went limp and dropped down hard onto the stone floor, lying still Hermione could see that the man was dead. Minerva McGonagall had bested four men well under half her age, spinning around quickly Minerva's eyes landed on Hermione's. Emerald green and light brown connected telling each other things that had went unsaid for years; before she knew it Hermione was stood not a meter away from the older woman.
As if in slow motion the two women wrapped their arms around one another and give in to their wants and desires, their lips pressed against one another gently. However, soon passion erupted and their lips if possible connected more. Fire burned through them, electricity sent static tingles from their feet to their toes. Everything stopped, the death, the war and the world stopped. Nothing mattered but being in each other's arms even if it was only for that second. The two parted slowly allowing themselves air and their hands gently touching one another, before they could say any words to each other a curse shot passed them. Looking up they saw six sets of eyes staring at them, looking at one another they knew that the other loved them and that even if one of them died that night they would be able to die knowing that their love was requited.
