LAST CHAPTER:
"Hello Oliver," she said politely. Hermione felt nothing when Oliver reached for her hand.
"Hello Hermione," he said looking into her eyes. Hermione looked back and felt nothing once again. She sighed.
"I'm sorry for crashing into you like that," said Hermione. Oliver shrugged and Hermione looked at him noting a few changes in him.
"How are you 'Mione?" asked Oliver. Hermione looked straight at him hearing her old nickname and

----------------------------------Hermione's POV
Hermione looked straight at him hearing her old nickname and felt nothing, absolutley nothing. Hermione let a smile grace her features and spoke, "I've been fine Oliver. How've you been?"
"I've been good too," he said smiling back at her, "you look good." Hermione wrapped her arms around herself and looked up at him.
"I am very happy," she said and in that single moment there was an understanding that passed between them.
"Let's start fresh?" he asked. Hermione smiled at him and he smiled back.
"That'll be wonderful," she said.
--------------------------------a week later on Saturday at the Weasley home... ...
Hermione looked down at her goddaughter Anna and smiled. Anna had the eyes of her father and grandmother, but she had the hair fiery red hair of her mother. Hermione saw the beauty in the little child in her arms and she could not help, but feel a calm just by having the baby in her arms. She felt a presence next to her and she looked up, it was Ginny.
"Anna is beautiful, just as beautiful as her mother," said Hermione. Ginny smiled at her and Hermione could see the glow of motherhood in her friend.
"Thank you 'Mione," she said as she looked at her daughter affectionatley, " I wonder if I'll be a good mother like my mum was."
"You will, you'll be a great mother," said Hermione. Ginny looked up at her and smiled tearfully.
"You are a great friend and you will be an even greater mother," said Ginny. Hermione smiled softly as she felt her eyes become teary.
----------------------------------three months later
Hermione smiled at the beautiful picture her family made. Everyone was gathered around the table laughing and eating Mrs. Weasley's delicious dinner. Her heart warmed as she saw Harry and Ginny Potter with their children Anna and Sirius. She wanted to have a happy family one day, but her heart was content as it was now. Taking a glance at Luna and Ron, she saw Ron looking at Luna with unconditional love as Luna talked to his mother about something. Feeling her smile soften at this sight, she realized she was completley happy for them. Looking around she saw everyone in her surrogate family, no, her real family and felt her smile grow bigger as her heart swelled at the sight. She felt a hand on her shoulder and she turned to see Oliver. Oliver and Hermione had rebuilt thier friendship after the ecounter at the hospital. She smiled at him and he beckoned to leave. She nodded and they both slipped away from the table. Oliver led her to Mrs. Weasley's garden.
"Oliver," Hermione spoke softly. Oliver turned to her with a smile on his face.
"Hermione," he spoke back equally softly.
"Why'd you take me out here?" she asked. Oliver glanced at her and sat down in the grass. She looked at him and he looked up at her patting the space beside him. Hermione smiled and sat next to him.
"I just wanted to talk," he said. Hermione nodded and placed her head on his shoulder. Oliver wrapped an arm around her shoulder and Hermione leaned agianst him.
"Okay, what about?" she asked. Oliver looked down at her.
"Anything at all," he said.
--------------------------------dinner with Oliver
"He didn't!" Hermione exclaimed as she sat on Oliver's couch laughing as Oliver retold her the story of Kendra's date with Charles, his teammate.
"He did," said Oliver laughing. Hermione shook her head, her shoulders shaking from laughter.
"I feel so bad for Kendra. How could you set her up on that date?" Hermione asked.
"Sibling rivalry," he said smirking. Hermione shook her head and ate her chow mein. She felt Oliver's gaze on her and looked up . She saw him looking at her intensely.
"What?" asked Hermione feeling unnerved under his gaze.
"Nothing. I'm just realizing now how thankful I am that I ran into you at the hospital," he said.
"I'm thankful too," she said.
"This is nice," he said.
"It is," she said then she smiled, "eat your veggies Wood."
-------------------------------------dinner with the Weasley and Potter family
Hermione sat next to Ginny looking at Ron. He looked up at her and smiled shakily. Hermione smiled back and mouthed the words, it's alright. Ron mouthed the words, thank you back. Then she glanced at Oliver who was across from her, he winked and she winked back. Hermione sat across from him smiling. It felt nice to go out. When suddenly Ron got out from his seat and knelt in front Luna. Everyone in the area around them stopped talking as they saw Luna looking down at Ron with shock written across her features.
"Luna, you've been more then I could ever ask for. You're too good too be true. I want you to know that I love you with all my heart and I will give you everything you need. Before you realize that I'm too good for you, will you marry me?" asked Ron. Luna burst out crying, nodding furiously as Ron got up from his knees.Ron placed the finger on her hand and kissed her. Hermione stood up cheering with the rest of the family. Hermione looked at the new engaged couple and saw the happiness and the unconditional love. She looked up at Oliver and smiled. He looked at her and caught her eye as she cheered for Ron and Luna.Hermione smiled back and thought, One day, one day I will have that.
