This is my take on the last two chapters of the Deathly Hallows, making the next chapter the beginning of AU HP version of Advent Children. Yes, Hermione's wand turned into the Buster Sword, and I have yet to find the role of the boy version of Harry. When Ron and Ginny sing the Prayer, it's a mix of the movie version and the final verison.

Summary: What if Harry really died, and Hermione witnessed his death and carried him back to the others? Blaming herself of his death, Hermione lives alone two years after his death. But when a terrible disease comes upon, infecting only the children and Hermione and three unknown wizards come and look like Tom Riddle, Hermione must take the path of the hero once again. But can she do it alone, or with the help of her friends? Can she be forgiven for the loss of the one she loves?

Advent Magic of Children

Prologue

At Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, an all out-battle was going on the grounds of the school. No one knew was going on in the Forbidden Forest, a young girl with long wavy dark brown hair and deep chocolate brown eyes was captive, surrounded by dark robed and masked wizards. She watched as a man with blood red eyes and a boy with shoulder length raven black hair and deep bright emerald green eyes fight, casting spells at each other. They kept dodging each other's spells, which the girl smiled.

"It's over, Harry Potter!" the man shouted.

"No, it's not over yet, Voldemort!" Harry Potter shouted back. "I'm gonna save Hermione and get out of here!"

Hermione Granger continued to watch as the fight between Harry and Voldemort went on, but after a few minutes they stopped casting spells. Voldemort raised his wand at Harry, who was gasping for air, his arms bumping with pain from casting spells. Hermione knew what spell Voldemort was gonna use. She looked toward Harry, he was too tired to get way and knew what he was gonna use also. Much to Hermione's surprise, Harry stood upright, looking ready to take the spell. He looked toward Hermione, a small smile on his face.

'I love you, more than I loved Ginny,' he mouthed to her. 'I love you so much, Hermione Granger….'

"Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort shouted, and the spell hit Harry in the chest.

Hermione watched as Harry fell to the ground, she broke free of the ropes tied around her wrists and ankles and ran to Harry's motionless body. Gently, she put his head on her lap, ignoring the fact that his body felt cold as ice now. Tears formed in her eyes as she held his cold, motionless body in her arms, thinking about how everyone else will take the news. Her wand, which fell out of her pocket, glowed and changed into a sword with a huge blade. Voldemort saw the sword and looked at Hermione.

"Harry, I wanted to tell you this since you saved me in the first year," Hermione said, stroking his hair. "I love you more than anything in the world."

"Your 'love' died, by my hand, Granger!" Voldemort said. "He's gone, forever! No one can stop me!"

Looking over to the sword, Hermione somehow knew that was her wand. Putting Harry down, she stood up, walked over to the sword and put it on her back. The Death Eaters seemed to back away as Hermione turned around and walked over to Harry again.

"Pick him up, Granger," Voldemort said. "Let's show the world what happened to its savior."

"It's my fault you died, Harry," Hermione whispered that only Voldemort heard. "I'm sorry for everything……"

She kneeled down and scooped Harry's cold body in her arms. Following Voldemort and his Death Eaters, Hermione only stared at Harry's body in her arms. Hermione tried to use to the sunlight as she left the forest, hearing a thousand gasps. A girl with long flaming red hair and bright brown eyes and a boy with shoulder length flaming red hair and bright blue eyes ran to her, ignoring the huge sword on her back. Ron Weasley and his sister, Virginia Weasley, stared at the motionless body of their friend.

"Mione, is he……." Ron whispered.

"He can't be, can he?" Ginny whispered.

Hermione only nodded, showing the body to all the students and teachers. The Death Eaters and Voldemort started to laugh, Hermione seemed to mad at the laughter, she gave Harry's body to Ginny and took out her sword, pointing it at the Death Eater and Voldemort, anger burning in her eyes.

"Shut up!" she shouted. "I'll kill you and avenge Harry!"

Voldemort only smirked, "How can you kill me with that, Granger?"

Hermione muttered, "Avada Kedavra…." The blade of the sword glowed an eerie green color; Hermione shot the sword at Voldemort, then ran to him and sliced through his body. He crumbled to dust, a shocked look on his face. Turning to the Death Eaters, shaking in fear, Hermione fired the curse at them as well. Everyone cheered as Hermione put her sword back on her back. The headmistress, Minerva McGonagall, walked up to Hermione, a small smile on her face.

"Miss Granger, you saved us from the Dark Lord," she said. "Thank you so much."

The next week, declared by the new Minster of Magic, was called Potter Remembrance Week, school was off for the week, businesses were closed, and everyone in the magical world paid their respects to the famous Boy-Who-Lived. The entire school wore black at Harry's funeral, Hermione stood next to McGonagall as Hagird carried the coffin up the aisle and placed next to the coffins of the previous headmasters. McGonagall gave a speech on how important Harry was to everyone. Then Hermione walked to the microphone and said, "This song is for Harry, and my feelings for him."

Music began to play as Hermione softly sang, "I always needed time on my own. I'd never thought I need you there when I cry, and the days feel like years when I'm alone and the bed where you lay is made up on your side. When you walk away, I count the steps that you take. Do you see how much I need you right now?"

Ron sighed, he felt a pull on his pant leg, a young girl around four with short black hair and bright eyes looked up at him. Ron smiled, picking her up and listening to Hermione. "When you're gone, the pieces of my heart are missing you. When you're gone, the face I came to know is missing, too. All the words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it Ok. I miss you."

"Daddy, why did Harry leave?" the young girl asked Ron.

"Marlene, Harry left because he felt like he had to," Ron told his daughter, who was born in his fourth year by Cho Chang after Credic died. "He had to fulfill the prophecy, even though he knew someone really cared about him, someone like Hermione."

"I've never felt this way before," Hermione sang, wiping tears from her eyes. "Everything that I do reminds me of you and the clothes you left, they lie on the floor and they smell just like you. I love the things that you do. When you walk away, I count the steps that you take. Do you see how much I need you right now?"

Ginny wiped tears from her own eyes, she looked over at her brother and her niece, who were crying as well, listening to the song. "When you're gone, the pieces of my hearts are missing you. When you're gone, the face I came to know is missing too. All the words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it Ok. I miss you."

From just hearing the song, Ginny knew Hermione loved Harry more she did, and sighed. "We were made for each other out here forever. I know we were. Yeah, yeah! All I ever wanted was for you to know everything I do; I give my heart and soul! I can hardly breathe; I need to feel you here with me! Yeah!"

Hermione looked to the coffin, decorated by a thousand bouquets of white and yellow lilies as she sang the last verse. "When you're gone, the pieces of my heart are missing you. When you're gone, the face I came to know is missing too. All the words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it Ok. I miss you."

After she had finished the song, Hermione picked up her bouquet of white and yellow lilies and walked over to Harry's coffin. She placed the bouquet next Ron's, Ginny's, and Marlene's bouquets, staring the coffin, which encased the body of her friend and her secret love. Tears fell from her eyes as she looked at the ivory white coffin; she put her hands on the coffin. Closing her eyes, she whispered, 'I'm so sorry, Harry. I'm so sorry that you're gone…….' Ron and Ginny looked at each other, and sighed. They started to sing a song softly that no one heard.

"I pray you'll be our eyes and watch her where she goes," Ginny softly sang. "And help her to be wise in times when we don't know. Let this be our prayer, when she loses her way. Lead her to a place; guide her with your grace to a place where she'll be safe."

"La luce che tu hai," Ron said, "nel cuore rester… I pray she finds your light and holds it in her heart. A ricordarci che eterna sei…… When stars go out each night, remind her where you are. Lead her to a place; guide her with your grace to a where she'll be safe."

"The light you have will be in her heart to remember her that you're her eternal star…" Ginny sang softly. "I pray she finds your light and hold it in her heart. When stars go out each night, let this be our prayer when shadows fill her day. Nella mia preghiera quanta fede cei…."

"How much faith there is in our prayer," they sang together as Hermione lowered her head and cried harder. "Lead her to a place; guide her with your grace to a place where she'll be safe. Sognamo un mondo senza pi violnza. Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza. Ognuno dia la mano suo vicino. Simbolo di pace, di fiaternit……"

"We dream a world without violence, a world of justice and faith,"Ginny sang, staring at Hermione. "Everyone gives a hand to his neighbors, symbol of peace, of fraternity….. We ask that life be kind and watch her from above. We hope each soul will find another soul to love….."

"La forza che ci dil," Ron sang, holding sleeping Marlene in his arms. "Desiderio che ognuno trovi amor intorno e dentro sei."

"The force he gave us is wish that everyone finds love around and inside,"they sang together, not knowing a little boy that looked like Harry walk up to Hermione. "We ask that life be kind and watch her from above. We hope each soul will find another soul to love…. Let this be our prayer, let this be our prayer, just like every child. Need to find a place, guide her with your grace, give her faith so she'll be safe. Need to find a place, guide her with your grace, give so she'll be safe."

"E la fede che," Ron sang softly, staring at Hermione. "Hai acceso in noi, sento che ci salver……………"

Everyone else left, except for Ron, still holding Marlene in his arms, Ginny, Hermione, and the little boy that appeared. Ron and Ginny finally noticed the boy; Hermione looked down at the boy and wiped her eyes. The two siblings walked up to them, Ron was carrying Marlene on his back, Ginny offered her hand to the boy and he took it.

"Guys, open a bar café in Hogsmeade, and call it the Pott-Grange Café, or Potter's Heaven," Hermione said. "I'm starting a business called the Grange-Pott Delivery Service."

Ron and Ginny nodded, walking with Hermione to the village of Hogsmeade and staying there for the next two years. Harry's spirit watched over Hermione, but the surviving Death Eaters planed revenge against Hermione, waiting for two years for the right moment.
