"Mrs Weasley?"

The kids were asleep, so she picked Hugo up and rested him on the chair. "Yes?"

"You can go in to see his body, now"

"Okay, what about-" she nodded to the sleeping children.

The healer smiled. "I shall be here if you need someone to watch them"

"Thank you"

She walked in. Hermione walked slowly towards the bed where he lay yesterday, his last words being 'I love you', which made her break down into tears at the thought of it.

Hermione saw a person under a large, white blanket, and sniffed before touching it. She thought for a moment, and reached for the top, pulling it down a little.

Red hair.

His red hair she loved to touch, and longed to touch now. She pulled on the blanket again, and his eyes were visible. Moments later, the blanket was down to his waist.

"Oh, Ronald" she whispered, crying on his chest, arms around him. "You said you wouldn't go!"

She looked over his body, not believing it's true that the love of her life was now laying dead infront of her, cold and breathless.

Hermione reached her hand for his face, and stroked his cheek, before leaning over to kiss his lifeless lips. "I love you so much" she said, quietly. "No matter what, I could never, ever replace you in my life"

After about 15 minutes, she had been resting her head on his chest, stroking his shirt, sniffing and crying. "Remember, we'd lay in bed, just doing nothing, and I'd hear your heartbeat and.. if you'd fallen asleep, your snores" she smiled for 2 seconds, then it went.

"Or, i'd wake up and hear your groaning that you have work. You'd wake me with a kiss, i'm going to miss that so much-" Hermione broke down into tears again, and wiped her nose on his shirt.

"Miss?" called the healer. Hermione turned back and nodded. "Okay, hold on"

They disappeared through the doors, and Hermione looked at him one more time. She looked at the bedside table and saw a family photo of her, Ron and the children all pulling funny poses. She gave a shaky laugh, and put it to his chest, kissing him, and holding the blanket.

"I love you... so very, very much. I'll miss you. And I'll have to think of something to tell our children.. they'll miss you. You wont see them grow up, either..." more tears, "Ron, why'd you do this? Why'd you go? Your leaving me to raise them without a father.. that tears me apart!"

The blanket went up to his neck. "I promise i'll carry on and... I promise I wont call Viktor Krum" she gave another shaky laugh. "Behave up there, Ronald, i'll know if you misbehave, and... i'll see you... one day"

She kissed him. "I love you, and always will"

The blanket went over his face, and she started to cry even more. She was surprised there was enough tears left, from all the crying she'd been doing.

Hermione was laying in her double bed. She'd lost her husband, and was all alone for the rest of her life. She didn't have it in her to get someone else, but atleast she still had apart of Ron still with her..Hermione looked down at her 2 children. They were curled up to her, arms around her's, and light snores escaping their tiny mouths. Well, Hugo's snores were louder, taking after his father.

She kissed their red hair, and stared at her wedding photo. She'd go on without him, but for now, she couldn't let go. Hermione didn't think she ever could, but she had to.

"Be strong for the kids" she whispered.

"Mummy?" called Hugo, waking up.

"Yes, sweetheart, are you okay?"

He nodded, "When's daddy coming home? I want his jelly beans! They'll go mouldy if he doesn't have them!"

She smiled, and kissed his head, "You have them. We can always get him some more"

"Thank you, mummy" he said, "I miss daddy"

Hermione nodded, then sighed. "So do I"
