Okay, a lot of you are wondering about Ginny's note. Well, here's why. Ginny and Hermione used to be best friends, but now they aren't. Also, Hermione knew that it would annoy Ginny. So there.
Harry's P.O.V.
Harry knelt beside Hermione's corpse. He couldn't believe what just happened. "Hermione..." He whispered. Harry picked her up, bridal style, and carried her to the Common Room, where Neville and Luna were waiting. "We got her note-" Luna gasped when she saw Hermione. "Hermione!" Neville and Luna cried at the same time. Luna rushed forward, tears in her eyes. Neville put his arm around her shoulders. "Sh..Sh...," Neville tried to calm her down. "She's in a better place." Luna still sobbed. Harry could feel tears streaming down his own face as well. He had memorized the letter by now, and could recite it backwards.
"Oh my!" Harry turned and saw Professor McGonagall. "Hermione..." She trailed off. McGonagall walked forward, and took Hermione from Harry's arms. McGonagall laid Hermione down on a couch, then walked over to Harry. "Meet me in my office at six O'clock." Harry nodded through his tears.
After Hermione's burial, Harry went to meet Professor McGonagall.
He walked to her office, walked in, closed the door, and sat down in a chair. Professor McGonagall sat down in her own chair. "Now," She began. "What can you tell me about Hermione?" Harry thought for a moment, then decided to tell her everything. "Well, it all began in first year, when Ron and I saved Hermione from the troll." Before he knew it, Harry was telling her about everything that had happened from first year, to now. "Oh my," McGonagall exclaimed when Harry had finished. "And why haven't you told me this sooner?" McGonagall asked. Harry shrugged. "I thought that I could stop it all." McGonagall sighed. "I know you wanted to help, but you should have told a teacher." Harry nodded, still looking at his feet. McGonagall got up, and rummaged in her desk for something. She found it, and brought it out. Harry looked up, and saw a time-turner. "Professor...?" Harry started. "This was Hermione's." McGonagall started. "In third year, she used it to get to all of her classes." Harry nodded, not fully understanding. McGonagall sighed. "Use this to bring her back, Harry."
"Okay..." Harry said to himself. "Time-Turner, check. Wand, check. Let's do this." Harry turned the time turner back ten times.
Harry appeared in the Gryffindor Common Room standing behind the chair. Perfect. Just before the suicide. Harry hid behind the banister. He waited, and waited, until finally, Hermione ran upstairs. She passed Harry without seeing him. Harry followed her up into the girls dormitory. He saw Hermione writing her letters. Silently, he cast a spell that made Hermione's wand fly to his hand.
After writing the letters, Hermione got up, and reached for her wand. She didn't find it. Harry stepped out from the shadows. "Looking for this?" He asked. Hermione whipped around, tears in her eyes. "Give it back, Harry." Hermione told him. Harry shook his head. "No." Hermione walked forward, and reached for her wand. Harry held it out of her reach. "Harry!" Hermione yelled. Harry, still holding her wand in the air, took Hermione's arm. She froze. "I'm not going to hurt you." He promised. Hermione broke down in tears. Harry put her wand down, and pulled her into a hug. "Don't worry. It'll be alright." He whispered in her ear.
Hermione's P.O.V.
A year later, Hermione was a lot better.
Luna and Neville had finally gotten together, and Ron and Ginny were on probation.
"So," Harry started. He, Hermione, Luna, and Neville were sitting under a tree by the lake. "What do you guys wanna do?" Hermione heard foot steps behind them. She turned, and saw Ron and Ginny. Neville groaned. "Hey," Ron started. "Um..., I wanted to say that I'm sorry about everything." Hermione searched for hate in his eyes, but only saw guilt. "Okay." Ron smiled, and saw down. "So," Luna started. "Why's Ginny here?" Ginny glared. "Ron wanted me to come." She grumbled. "Actually, I didn't." Ron said. "You just followed me." Ginny shot Ron a death glare, and saw down next to him. Er...more like on him. "How about we play Truth or Dare?" Neville suggested. "Okay." Everyone agreed, even Ron. Ginny just glared. "How about Luna first?" Hermione suggested. "Okay." Luna agreed. "Luna," Harry began. "Truth or dare?" He asked her.
"Dare."
"I dare you to french kiss Neville for five minutes. Also..., don't forget to breathe." Luna nodded, then kissed Neville.
After the kiss, Luna dared Harry to jump in the lake. "I hate you." Harry said to Luna after his dip. "I know!" Luna smiled. "Ron," Neville began. "Truth or dare?" Ron looked surprised. "You mean you want me to play with you?" He asked. They nodded. Ron smiled. "Truth." Neville smiled evilly.
"Do you, or do you not, have a crush on Hermione?" Hermione blushed.
"Um..., don't laugh, but I do have a crush on her." Hermione looked at him in shock. "And yet you bullied me. Yeah, that makes perfect sense." Harry and Neville laughed, while Ron flushed a deep red. "Ginny," Ron said, still blushing. "Truth or dare?" Ginny thought for a moment. "Dare."
"Okay then, I dare you to..., kiss a girl." Ginny nodded. She got up, and walked over to Lavender Brown, and kissed her full on the lips. The kiss became more passionate, and soon they were going up to the Prefects bathroom. "When I said kiss, I meant like, a hand or cheek. Not a full on sex session."
Hermione laughed. "Hermione," Luna started. "Truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"Okay, I dare you to kiss Harry." Hermione looked at Harry, and he looked back at her. He slowly leaned in, and so did Hermione. When their lips touched, it was like time slowed down.(A/N I don't know anything about kissing due to only being 13, so don't judge!)When they broke apart, Hermione saw that Harry was blushing. She realized that she was too. "How long was the kiss?" She asked. "Two minutes." Ron said with a sad-happy look. "Oh, well, let's make that five." Harry leaned in and kiss Hermione. "I love you." He whispered before kissing her.
The end! Did you like it? Yes, I know that this story was only three chapters, but that was my whole plan.
This story is about bullying, and how it's wrong. If someone you love is being bullied, tell someone, and don't try to fix it yourself. You learn that the hard way. Trust me. My brother would be able to tell you if he were still alive. Anyway, if anyone needs to talk, I'm here for you. And don't worry, I won't tell a single soul. Not even my pet fish, cats, or dog.
