"Pennies from Heaven"
by Dorthey Star
**I think the story is self-explanatory, but incase you were wondering, a Great War- spanning several years- was fought just before the story starts, and Hermione gave herself up to defeat the Dark Lord. She and Harry were going to be married (duh)**
Harry laid on the bed that he had shared with Hermione before the Great War, before she had sacrificed herself to defeat the Dark Lord and save the Wizarding World. Harry sighed. He missed his fiancée and best friend. He rose from the bed and looked on the bedside table. On it was a letter. The outside simply read Harry. Errol had brought it nearly a week ago- the day after Hermione had died.
Harry took a shaky breath. He knew he had to read it- it was the only thing that could help him. Slowly, Harry reached over to the table and picked up the letter. He opened it up and started to read it.
Harry,
They'll kill me soon, I can tell by how excited Lucius is getting. They've allowed me one last letter- wasn't that kind of them? I'm not scared, Harry, and I don't want you to be either. I'm doing this for you, and for Ginny, and for George, and for the whole Wizarding world.
They've taken almost everything from us: our parents, Ron, Fred, Dean, Viktor…and Lord knows they've tried to take you, too. When I'm gone, darling, live your life as you had planned to live it before we even started to date. Be there for Ginny every time March 1st* rolls around. And George, too. It must be tough loosing a twin.
They're coming for me; I can hear them. Heed my words, love. I love you more than anything, even my own life. Don't mope or mourn for me forever. The greatest thing to me would be for you to lead your life in memory of me. I love you, Harry.
All my love,
Hermione
Harry set the letter down, a small smile playing on his lips. Suddenly, he knew he'd be all right. And someday, a long time from now, he would be with Hermione , Ron, and his parents. And with that, he stood up to go visit Draco and Ginny.
*March 1st, in case you didn't know, is Ron's birthday

Author's Note: aww, a sappy, fluff…exactly what I need today (I'm home sick as I write this). It kind of popped into my head yesterday…. Please, R/R?
