Disclaimer: No I don't own Harry Potter, and I never will...sadly...


Another Hermione time travel fic, vastly different, including character's and the goals! What will Hermione get herself into this time?
If you see any spelling mistakes, please tell me so I can fix them, I loathe the mistakes, but I am not a good speller at all. I would use spell check, but the way I'm posting stories now it doesn't work, so please watch for them. Thank you!

Hermione:

I saw his face, a split second before he was pushed though the veil...pure terror, and something else not written there...it seemed like he had lost something...and I didn't know what.

I never really saw it...but I saw the memory...I had forced Harry to show me, I had to know it was for real.

He had been though so much...far more then a soul should have to bear.

Betrayal, death...Azkaban, the torments of Dementors...every hour, day, minute, all those years he was in Azkaban. Yet he was still happy...smart...and yes, above all, brave.

I missed him deeply, I found myself crying over every little reminder of him...everyday...

It was seventh year now...a little over a year since his death...a year since he fell though that veil...a year since I heard his voice, saw his face...looked into his eyes.

I was on the train with Harry and Ron, who both were sound asleep...thats when I could feel new tears coursing down my cheeks.

I took out the picture, it was in perfect shape...I had spelled it to be that way...I never wanted it to wear out of fade. I saw his eyes, this time laughing...it was the last picture we had of him...and it was precious, it was worth more than anything.

I turned, and put the picture away, not wanting anyone to see me with it...they didn't know I still grieved over him...they couldn't. It would just be harder on Harry.

I wiped my nose on my sleeve, and then looked up, and found Harry staring at me.

"I miss him too." It was simple, and comforting.

I nodded, not wanting to talk.

His death shouldn't have affected me this much...but I was the last person to look into his eyes, to visit that memory, see his face before he disappeared...and it was some how everything...

Then I realized it.

I had fallen in love with a dead man.


We were finally off the train, the feast done...and I was in my room, I had made head girl this year, as did Harry.

I took out his picture again, and other ones...they were all spread out before me, I had found a way to make pictures out of memories...it was vastly comforting.

I could still call up every detail of his face, the creases, the way he stood...the way he smelled.

I looked at him waving at me, looking mournful, sad, angry...all of them...and I loved them all.

My favorite above all...he was reading, his face screwed up in concentration...under a tree.

I once again felt the tears course down my cheeks, oh what would I give to have him back...even though I knew he would of never loved me like I did him.

I knew it was silly, and it was stupid, but later, I had snuck out, and found myself on top of the highest tower...

I looked up at the stars, it was a stupid idea...but it was comforting.

"Star bright...star light...the first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, I wish I might have this wish tonight." It was silly, only little girls did that...but I found it...something Sirius would do.

I wish I could see Sirius again...I wish he was back, for good.

I felt a small tingle, as if my wish had actually come true... though that was impossible.

I got ready for bed, and was in my nightgown when I finally fell into bed, and was asleep in a instant.

That next morning, I woke up bright and early...I wasn't in my bed, or my room...and there was someone next to me.
