Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter…

Chapter One

Harry's Pov:

Oh, how I miss my darling wife Hermione. I can only guess what she is doing right now…maybe sitting at home, watching television, stroking her five month pregnant swelled belly. She's getting bigger and bigger everyday. She's really tiny so her pregnant stomach kind of over takes her body. It's quite adorable really, but she doesn't agree with me. I miss her so much…I want to snuggle on the couch with her…massaging her back, neck, and shoulders, every two seconds whisper sweet nothings in her ear making her giggle softly and blush at all the attention she is receiving from me. She deserves it! She deserves all the love and fawning I do over her…I don't even mind her waking me up in the middle of the night just to talk about her day even though we had done so right before she fell asleep.

She is currently a stay-at-home mother while I was an auror. They had wanted me to be minister of magic but I quickly turned that down. Hermione was supportive of what ever I decided to do. She was amazing…I can't wait until…

"Potter, I need you to focus! I will not die because you are daydreaming! Pull your head out!" Malfoy yelled toward me from about twenty feet behind me. I was currently on a mission to take out the remaining death eaters. Yes, Voldemort is dead, but that doesn't mean that the rest of his minions are dead as well. Malfoy betrayed Voldemort and joined our side during sixth year. Believe it or not, it wasn't Dumbledore that convinced him to leave. It was my Hermione. She had seen him crying in the bathroom when he was given the job of killing Dumbledore if he wanted his mother safe. My Hermione told him that she will personally make sure the Order will rescue his mother. For some reason, even strange to him, he believds her. Narcissa was rescued that night. Ever since then, Hermione and Malfoy had been closest. He even calls her Hermione. But calls his partner, the one man that his life depends on, Potter. Huh…crazy, yea?

"Oh put a sock in it, Malfoy! Everything will be fine-" just as the words left my mouth, a huge explosion disrupted our anticipating silence. I turned around to see an inferno where Ron used to be! I immediately jumped to my feet as I heard the Death Eater's battle cries. "In the Dark Lord's Memory!" a cry in union as an assortment of colors infused with the night air, striking our men as they all began to fall in screams of pain or without a sound. Dead. Oh my goodness…where's Ron? I looked all around me, as far as the eye can see, before quickly sprinting toward the inferno.

"Potter!! POTTER!!! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!?!?!" I heard Malfoy yell behind me but I kept running. I had to save my friend. Hermione would be devastated if he didn't come back. And the Weasley's…oh Merlin I had to save him! I ran into the fire, screaming Ron's name and the incantation to spray water out of my wand. I finally saw Ron in a deep battle with Lucius himself. I quietly snuck up behind him before I felt the worse pain ever in life spread through my body as I slump to the ground, shaking all over in exhaustion.

"Little Bitty Potter came to play?" came a slightly crazed voice as Bellatrix Lestrange stepped into the scene. "See you incompetent idiot! If I had not come to your aid, you'd be dead!" she sneered at Lucius as he rolled his eyes.

"Oh please Bella…I knew when Weasley's eyes kept glancing behind me. You're the idiot cow! You shouldn't have left your husband! I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself!" as they argued, I crawled toward Ron, laying on the ground with blood leaking out of his side.

"H-h-harry…" He coughed. "I-I-I-I'm not going to make it." He managed to cough out before wheezing in pain. I grabbed the front of his robes and clutched them tightly.

"N-n-no Ron!! Don't do this to me!! Don't you dare!!" I yelled hoarsely into his ear. He grabbed my hand, shakily, and clutched to his chest, before he weakly pushed me away.

"G-g-go! Don't look back!! Just go, Harry!! Mione needs you!! You are not going to leave her with your baby Tell everyone I love them!! Especially Luna!" He pushed me away with new found strength, smiled weakly at me, told me to go again, before his face lost that painful grimace, took at deep breath, closed his eyes, and became still. I didn't want to leave his body there, but I had to go. If I don't go now, I won't make it. I shakily got to my feet, and started to run away, but I heard those life changing words scream from both Lucius and Bellatrix.

"AVADA KADEVRA!"

I'm so sorry!! Hermione…I love you always.

DracoPOV:

"Potter!! POTTER!!! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!?!?!" I screamed out at him as I fired off hexes left and right. That pompous idiot! Always has to be the hero…he's going to get himself killed one of these days and I will personally bring back to life and then kill him for putting Hermione through this. We both had tried to convince Scarhead to quit in the auror apartment until their child is at least 10, but noooo…he wants to be a hero. He wants to make a difference.

'It's my calling love…I have to take it…' ugh…doesn't get any cheesier than that, folks. Hermione needs him.

Ah…Hermione. She saved my life. If not for her, I'd be fighting on the wrong side right now, in Azkaban, dead, or worse…with my father. Insert shudder of terror here. Hermione is like a little sister to me. Ever since her parents died during her absence with Scarhead and Weasel, she and I have been joined at the hip. Pot Head was jealous for a while, but he quickly got over that thanks to Hermione…and no, it's wasn't pleasant…for him. I still think he has that scar under all that hair right beside the infamous one. She wanted to mark him as her inferior. Insert smug laugh. I love her…as a sister of course. I no longer believe in that 'pure blood supremacy.' Hermione stomped that out of me real fast. It was very pleasant…for Weaselbee and Sacred Leader of the Scar Heads.

I destroyed another wand of a Death Eater and ran further into the forest. I promise, if I die for them, I'm haunting them for the rest of their lives. I called in back up, and together, we trudged into the forest. When we saw the entrance of the clearing, my jaw dropped in horror.

Oh sweet Merlin, no….NO!!

There he laid…there they both laid. Dead. Oh…how is the Weasley's going to handle this?

What about HERMIONE!?!?!?!?! She's not going to make it without them, she'll refuse to…

As the team handled Lucius and Bellatrix, I cautiously made my way over to Harry and Ron. Don't get me wrong…we've become very close these past five years. Around Hermione, I called them by their names…not to their faces but only when talking in reference to them. They were the best guy friends I have….had. I had. I dropped to my knees as tears streamed down my face. Diggory, quietly walked over to me and kneeled beside me, his eyes widened in shock.

"Please tell me they're only unconscious." he looked at me for some reassurance, but when he saw my tears, his head dropped in defeat. "Oh Merlin…what about Hermione?" I glared at him with anger and frustration, but held my tongue.

*%*%*%*%*%*

We loaded up Harry and Ron's body, and took them to St. Mungo's for their autopsy before they are prepared for the funeral.

I looked at Hermione's front door in fear and sadness. My eyes were red rimmed with the tears of sorrow and pain for Harry, who will never get to meet his child, Ron, never getting to meet his godson, and Hermione, being the only survivor of the "Golden Trio."

"How are we going to do this?" Diggory, who is also a close friend of Hermione looked at me evenly even though his eyes are glassy. I shook my head shakily and slowly approached the door. Before I could even step on the front porch, Hermione's front door opened and she bounded out the door in happiness, wrapping me and Diggory in a hug, squealing that she is so happy to see us. When we both returned our hug half heartedly, she pulled away, confused, and slightly nervous.

"What's wrong, Draco?" When I didn't answer, she turned toward Diggory. "Cedric? Please someone say something, you're making me nervous! Where's Harry?" I hung my head and refused to answer. She grabbed my robes and shook me fiercely. "Draco!! WHERE'S HARRY?!?!? CEDRIC!! NO!! PLEASE!!! WHERE IS HE?!?!?" Her eyes filled to the brim with tears. She looked between Cedric and I insanely depressed.

"I-I-I'm s-s-sorry…they didn't make it...." I trailed off and prepared myself for some major comforting.

She collapsed into my chest sobbing. Her knees gave out and she started to fall but I lifted her into my arms and carried her into the house before she could cause a scene. When I was half way to the couch, she froze. OH...she caught the 'they' part... She immediately began to struggle in my arms but I held on tight and continued to the couch.

"WAIT!! YOU SAID THEY!! WHERE'S RON!!" She screamed as I sat her on the couch. When I ignored her, her eyes met mine in disbelief. "PLEASE TELL ME HE IS OK!! TELL ME DRACO!! CEDRIC, TELL ME!!" she looked at both of us, but we had nothing to say.

"I'm so sorry Hermione…" Cedric whispered brokenly and that's all it took. She cried all day. We had no idea what to do. Cedric and I would simply hold her in our arms while she bawled and sobbed. All we did was hold her. We offered her food but she refused diligently. We knew it wasn't healthy for her to skip meals but she's very vulnerable and forcing her to eat would not make it better. By eight that night, she was asleep on the couch, weakened by her own tears. Cedric and I sat in the kitchen drinking a cup of hot tea, not knowing what to do.

"We still need to tell the Weasley's." Cedric said and I stood up and started toward the fireplace.

"Stay here with Hermione while I go." I stepped into the fireplace and said 'Weasley's Manor.' As I disappeared, I silently hoped I could do this.

A.N: Ok…there's chapter one!! It's been on my mind all this week and I needed to get it down in my laptop before it slipped away!! I have two more ideas but I won't start on them until at least Second Time Around is finished. I'm having a slight writer's block but will try to get another chapter out!!

Love, peace, and Hufflepuff,
