Alright, it's been to long again… I'm very sorry! Things just kept popping up that needed to get done. Anyway, this is going to be the last little story. Enjoy!


Remembering


Hermione walked down the long corridor. She looked at all the people smiling and laughing around her and she smiled too.

She made her way outside into the cool, spring air.

Today was her last day at Hogwarts. As she walked down the path to a large tree by the lake, her memories at Hogwarts drifted through her mind.

She remembered the many trips to Hagrid's hut, the feast in the great hall, the quidditch matches, and even just the many nights sitting in the common room.

She thought about their hunt for the Sorcerer's stone during first year; that was the year she met Harry and Ron, her best friends.

She remembered second year, and the Heir of Slytherin. She has missed a lot of that year after being petrified.

She remembered the time turner and panic about Serious Black during third year.

Next was forth year and the tri-wizard tournament. That was the year things started between her and Ron. She smiled to herself remembering how stubborn they had both been at the Yule ball.

Hermione thought about fifth year. That was when things changed. Suddenly, with Voldemort back things were different. They had to cope with Umbridge and Serious's death as the war began.

When sixth year came Hermione saw a glimpse of hope. But when Dumbledor died, things fell apart.

Hermione looked up from the dusty trail she had been walking on and looked up at the open sky.

It was clear and blue.

Last year she hadn't come back to Hogwarts. She spent her day in the country looking for horcruxes with Harry and Ron. It had been their last chance at destroying Voldemort and it worked.

Hermione came to the end of the path and looked at the old tree. Its big branched were covered in new leaves.

Someone was already sitting under it.

His ginger hair seemed to glow in the setting sunlight. Hermione walked over and sat down next to Ron.

She leaned into his side and relaxed in his strong embrace. They sat, watching the sun slowly sink closer to the horizon.

"It's so strange to think about," Hermione said suddenly and Ron looked at her.

"It's seems like time has just gone so fast… It's been over a year since the battle, since everything happened, all those people gone… It just doesn't seem fair," she said.

Ron gently turned her head to face him and pressed his lips on her forehead.

"I know, Hermione," he whispered quietly.

She sighed and curled closer to him.

"All it takes is just one spell, and then everything is gone," she said sadly, "Any day it could happen, nobody knows how much time they have left and before they know it, its gone.'

Ron turned and looked at her again, "Well then let's make it count."

Hermione felt herself smile as he leaned in to kiss her.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and lost herself in the moment.

They broke apart after a few minutes as the sun finally dipped below the horizon.

"Let's go find Harry," Ron said with a smile.

He took her hand and they both walked up to the castle together, for their final feast at Hogwarts.

Little moments like this, that's what kept her going. The little things; they made her life worth it.

Hermione didn't know how long she had. But, as she walked up to the looming castle, she knew she had Ron and that's all she needed.

All they needed were the little things in life; because it's the little things that make life special.


THE END!

I'm going to try to keep writing but I'm working on some non-fanfiction stuff so I get busy but there will be more one-shots in the future!
