Chapter 1 Three Years ago

The battle was fierce, one of the worst Hermione, Ron, and Harry had ever seen, if not the worse. This was going to be it; the last battle between good and evil, and then they would all be free to live as three young people should. To lead their lives full of love, joy, and pride, and to know that they conquered something that might've destroyed the world, as they knew it after a time.

The entirety of the Order of the Phoenix was all there, fighting to protect the younger ones; they fought with honor and dignity. The Death Eaters were failing at holding off the Order and so they were beginning to weaken, to fall back into darkness. Hermione, Harry, and Ron knew it was almost over; just a little bit longer and they would be able to destroy Voldemort for good. They just had to hold out a bit longer until the Death Eaters would flee from them, thus leaving their master unprotected, all his immortality disposed of.

"This is it!" Hermione shouted to the others, rushing into the battle, hexing the Death Eaters away, and beginning to clear a path for Harry and Ron to pass through. A green jet narrowly missed her head, and she backfired with a Stunning Spell that made Harry proud. It was truly amazing to watch her fight, her hair flying back into the breeze, jets of colored lights blasting from that thin, powerful sliver of wood in her hand. She obliterated the Death Eaters, either knocking them unconscious or just freezing them for a time. Harry and Ron began to move forwards to meet her, hexing some of the straggling followers. They watched the Order fight off some of the others for them, aiding them in every way that they could.

"AHHHHHH!" Hermione's piercing scream shattered the din of shouts. Harry and Ron gazed forwards, searching for a fallen body with sleek, curly brown hair, but to no avail. "Harry!" Ron shouted, and Harry saw Hermione struggling against a tall blonde Death Eater that Harry recognized from the battle at Hogwarts, the day Dumbledore was killed.

"Hermione! NOOOO!" yelled Harry, rushing forwards to try to help her. Ron was attempting to curse the Death Eater as Harry ran past, saying, "Ron, you might hit Hermione! STOP!"

It was too late; there was no sign of Hermione or the Death Eater that had kidnapped her. It seemed as if the world had slowed; Harry's sister-like friend, and Ron's one true love, disappeared. Shortly after that, Harry and Ron together destroyed Voldemort once and for all, but it wasn't with the same feel as it would've been with Hermione. Instead of elation, they felt hate and remorse, for they had promised that they would be in this together.

The Golden Trio was shattered forever.
