It was over, Voldemort was dead. Hermione was waiting to see her two best friends. She was at the castle helping direct people to places that help was needed. She has explaining to a local from Hogsmeade to go to the hospital wing and get some more rags to dress wounds till they can be healed properly. She looks up over the young lady's shoulder and sees Ron coming over the hill with a weak Harry hanging on his shoulder. She quickly forgets the local and runs to Ron and Harry. As she approaches Ron stops and lowers Harry to the ground. Hermione falls to the ground next to Harry crying as she brushes his dirty unruly hair off of his forehead.
"he'll be fine Mione. He is just exhausted." Ron says kneeling beside her slowly rubbing her back.
"thank you Ron. You are the best" she turns and hugs him.
"where's my hug." Harry mumbles. Hermione suddenly turns her head and sees those emerald green eyes that fill her dreams nightly. She leans over him and cups his cheeks in her hand.
"I was so afraid" tears start falling down her cheeks as she caresses Harry's face. "I thought I lost you." She strokes his cheeks with her thumbs.
"I could never leave you Mione. I am yours for forever." Harry smile slightly and reaches his hand up softly stroking her cheek. Hermione leans her face in to his palm and closes her eyes. "I love you Hermione." She opens her eyes and looks into his.
"I love you too Harry." She smiles
"no Hermione I love you… I am in love with you… I want to be with you." Harry says
"I know Harry." She smiles and leans down placing her lips chastely to his. He kisses her back softly trying to show how much he loves her with the little strength he has at the moment.
