It was a very nice summer's day at The Burrow where the Golden Trio and Ginny were playing a game of two-on-two Quidditch. Hermione had been concealing a secret from the three of them since her father's death in her fourth year. She was a singer and a good one at that.

During the game Hermione was feeling a certain disregard because of the fact she was keeping a secret, in sixth year the gang had promised not to keep secrets and here Hermione was going against it.

One certain event except her father's death had always drawn her in to the box of keeping secrets it all happened in sixth year

Flashback

Hermione was sitting on top of the astromany tower pondering her thoughts it was the exact day when her father had that terrible car accident which had killed him almost instantly, she had sung the one song that she had started to sing since the day of her father's funeral.

"Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you,
that is how I know you go on"

Then she heard the door open and then shut behind her she continued singing

"Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on"
She could feel someone watching her but didn't dare look around
"Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on"
The mystery person moved closer and now stood directly above her listening to her every word, Hermione still refused to look around
"Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're gone"
Silence was around except Hermione's singing
"Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on"
Hermione still continued her singing although she knew this person was ever so close she could literally smell him
"Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on"
He smelled really nice, he smell like Lavender and Camomile
"You're here, there's nothing I fear,
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on"

She finished still refusing to look at this mystery, nice smelling person until he spoke

"Hermione what are you doing up here"

"Nothing, just…………Just go away"

"No, Hermione look at me please, I want you to look me in the eye and tell me what you are doing up here, I am not leaving until I get an answer"

Hermione looked up and looked in surprise to see the one man she has ever really loved

"p…p…professor Lupin what are you doing up here"

"No Hermione I asked you first may you be kind enough to answer me" Asked Professor Lupin very kindly.

"It just that-" then she stopped as the door opened but this time slammed shut, Lupin stood up to see who was there and to both of their fears they saw it was non other than Severus Snape.

End Flashback

Hermione did eventually tell both Professors why she was up there and then reality sunk in as soon as Snape told her she had a detention. Later that night she had went to her dorm and cried, not wanting the other girls in the dorm know she could sing.

But now she was in her seventh and last year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, deep down Hermione knew she had a lot to be thankful for and her friends has a lot to be thankful for to.

After two and a half long intense hours of Quidditch, the gang went to go inside the house but were automatically pushed out by Mrs. Weasley because they were covered from head to foot in mud.

After two hours (washing then eating) Hermione thought she could not hide it any longer she went to Mrs. Weasley and asked

"Mrs. Weasley could I possibly have a quick private word with you" Asked Hermione, she could feel tears in her eyes and Mrs. Weasley said

"Of course dear come upstairs in to mine and Arthur's room and you can talk to me there"

"Thanks Mrs. Weasley" Said Hermione as she followed Mrs Weasley up to her room"
