~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     It was the last day of 7th year for Harry and the gang.  They knew they're lives were about to change forever, for they were about to become fullgrown wizards.  Harry, Ron, and Hermione sat in the Great Hall, read for graduation.  'I'm so nervous!' Hermione thought to herself, though the reason was not expected, 'Today's the day I finally tell Ron  how I feel.'  It had been in 6th year that she finally realized how she felt, but Ron seemed determined to stay single.  And blind...  No matter how many subtle hints she dropped he couldn't get a clue!  Finally Hermione had decided that subtle was no good, she had to swallow her pride and admit her feelings to Ron's face.  Now the day had finally come. 

       She had told herself over and over again that she wouldn't chicken out, but as the day wore on her plan did not become reality.  She gave her speech as Head Girl, as her and the rest of the female half of the student body sobbed.  Sittiing down, she mentally changed her 'plan'.  Originally now was the time to talk to Ron, but she put it off.  Then came the feast, and still no talk.  The teary goodbyes with her room mates and fellow seventh years took up the rest of the time before the train ride home. 

       The compartment she shared with Ron and Harry was silent.  Ron read Harry's copy of "Flying with the Cannons" and Harry was looking over a book on aurors.  Hermione simply stared out the window, reassuring herself that everything would be ok with Ron and willing herself not to cry as images of Ron rejecting her at the station flashed through her head.  Harry glanced up and saw the unshed tears shining in her eyes and followed her gaze, which had turned to Ron's face inadvertently.  He understood their situation.  He had known that Hermione loved Ron longer than she had!  Ron would never tell, but Harry could tell by the way Ron blushed at the mention of Hermione's name and his overprotectivness and jealousy that he loved her as well.  He only hoped that one of them would tell the other before it was too late. 

       He shuddered at the thought of a "too late." Voldemort was gaining strength and it had affected everyone.  Mr. Weasly was tired and gray almost all the time, as were most other wizards who knew what was really going on.  Fudge still refused to admit the obvious, even after all the muggleborn attacks.  Just after Hermione had gone back to Hogwarts from Christmas break that year, her house had been attacked by a group of death eaters.  Both of her parents had been killed.  She had closed up a lot since then, except around Ron.  When she was with him she seemed almost like she had before her parents had died.

       Suddenly the train began to slow to a halt.  Hermione and Harry snapped out of their trances.  The trio began to grab their bags and started for the door.  Once outside they met the Weasly clan, who greeted them enthusiastically.  Harry had to leave soon though, he was taking a job as an auror and needed to get to the Ministry for training.  He sighed and stepped out of the compartment and onto the station platform.
