Chapter 1:
**************Flashback**************
Hermione sprinted down the hall to greet Harry and Ron. Harry quickly hugged Hermione. Ron outstretched his hand, Hermione looked at his hand then back up to his face. She took his hand and pulled him in for a hug. Ron was shocked but was glad that she had hugged him anyways, so he hugged her back.
"Nice to have you back Hermione" Ron said as the trio sat down.
"Nice to be back... although it's not for very long" Hermione said grumpily. Harry and Ron both looked at each other with confused faces. "I'll explain later, for now let's eat!" Hermione said as she reached for some bread. Harry and Ron both shrugged and carried on eating and began telling her of the events that occurred in the Chamber of secrets.
Later in the common room
"What?" Ron screamed "You can't be leaving! I don't believe it! I refuse to believe it!" Ron clasped his hands over his ears and began chanting "it's just a dream, a bad dream. It's just a dream, a bad dream..."
"Ron, no matter how many times you say something, it doesn't wish it true." Hermione said tenderly. Ron stopped and hung his head.
"Why?" Harry said in a very unlike Harry voice.
"I was petrified. They don't think Hogwarts is safe for me, anymore. "They" as in my parents. I told them that I was safer here at Hogwarts than I was back at home but they said no is no! They want to take everything wizard away from me and they said I will not be able to see my friends, again. I've asked Professor McGonagall, and Professor Dumbledore to reason with them but they won't change their mind. I'm leaving tomorrow before dawn, so I had to tell you now" Hermione said her eyes turning very glassy.
"Hermione, you can't leave. You'll break up the golden trio!" Harry said still using his very unlike Harry voice.
"I could never do such a thing! I will still be here just not in three dimensional forms, but in your heads" She said turning a bit happier from this point.
"Hermione, you're not going to be in our heads" Ron said still facing downwards.
"Oh but I will" Hermione said as she pulled out her wand "Dumbledore, granted me one undetectable spell, meaning the ministry and the school will not be able to tell what spell I have cast or that I have cast one at all. I thought long and hard and think the mind binding spell will work well. It means I will bind both your minds to mine but not to each other. If anyone needs me they just say so through their minds and I will be there. I will only know what you want me to know and likewise with me. What do you think? Are you in or are you out?"
Harry and Ron looked dumbstruck at their bushy haired know it all best friend. They whispered "How?" at the same time. Hermione smiled a bit at the faces.
"I found the spell in the book of forgotten spells but it's very reliable. I thin- no, I know I can do it. I can do it because I have a reason to." The silence in the room was so silent that it could only be described as one thing... loud.
"I'm in; I'd rather have you in my head than not have you in my life at all" Ron said, his ears turning red as he said this.
"I agree with Ron, let's do this!" Harry said back to his normal voice.
Hermione took Harry's hand and placed it on the floor. Hermione placed her hand on top of his and motioned for Ron to put his hand on hers. He did but could feel a spark as he did so. Hermione began muttering the spell and drew patterns in the air around their hands. Hermione's wand began to glow a light blue and so did her skin. The light blue soon took over Harry and Ron's skin and then suddenly everything turned white. Then there sight was turned back to normal.
"Did it work?" Ron said as he rubbed the side of his head.
"We won't find out until I leave. The spell begins when I leave and will end if we ever meet again. Which I guarantee will be sooner than later... I guess this is good bye" Hermione's voice cracked at the end. They all had a group hug, Hermione shamelessly crying while Ron and Harry held back tears. They hugged for ages not wanting to pull away; they heard creaking on the stairs and broke apart.
"If the spell doesn't work, please don't get a new me because you guys are MY boys" Hermione said wiping away tears.
"You're the brightest witch of our age the spell is bound to work" Harry said trying to crack a smile but came out more like a grimace.
"And there is no one like you Hermione; we will never get a new you cause that is impossible. Your my, I mean OUR girl." Ron said trying to hide the pain in his voice and the blush from his cheeks. They hugged once more and went there separate ways.
The next day
Ron work up early the next morning. He focused his mind on Hermione and asked "Did it work?" There was no answer for a moment until he heard the unmistakable sound of Hermione Granger, the love of his life's voice "Work it did".
