Disclaimer: Really?

A/N: Okay I majorly took creative credit to this chapter. Also There will be a slightly descriptive memory in here.

_______________________________________________________________________

I picked Hermione's limp body up and tried to hold in my tears. I carried her with Neville behind me. I had to find Ron and the others. Maybe they could get Hermione out of here before they all got hurt. Neville and I ran along the corridor and as we came to a door out stumbled Ron, Luna, and Ginny. Ron clutched me and tried to see through clogged eyes. I looked at Luna and Ginny. Ginny was breathing heavily and looked at me.

"It's the Conjunctive curse harry."

"Repario!"

Ron blinked a few times and then smiled before realizing we were still trying to find a place to hide. We continued running along the corridor and I heard a small moan escape Hermione's lips. I stopped and looked at her. Her eyes opened and she took a few moments to come around. Then she wiggled around in my arms and then looked at me with pleading eyes. The relief of her being alive made my heart almost pop.

"Harry please put me down."

"Okay."

"Thank you. Now we should continue running."

"Yeah, uh, yah that's a good idea."

We kept pace toward that door and we burst into a circular room with no exit. I looked at my five friends. I looked at my girlfriend. In the middle of the room was an arch with a fog floating around it. I looked at it curiously wondering what it could be.

"It's a veil." Neville said.

"What?" I asked transfixed.

"The dead cross over through it."

"So it's…a…"

"In a sense yes it's our better place."

"Oh." I had an urge to clutch the orb to my chest.

We stood there for a moment when six black smoke things filled the room we all screamed and tried to fight them but then Lucius Malfoy was in front of me and all my friends were being held by Death eaters. Hermione by the damned werewolf Fenir Greyback. I growled. Turning back to Lucius.

"Just give me the prophecy potter and they all go free."

"You'll just kill us all when you have it."

"Maybe them but not you."

"Because Voldemort wants me alive." I said as Bellatrix hissed.

"Yes because the lord wants you alive."

"You have to swear they go free."

"Harry no!" Hermione cried. "Aghhh!" She cried out as the deatheater yanked her back.

"I swear to you Potter. They all go free as do you if you give me the prophecy."

"Okay."

********

I watched as Harry reached out his hand slowly. And right before he handed it to Lucius multiple flashes of white light appeared and then standing in the room was the order. I felt relief. Harry waited until Lucius was distracted and then smashed the orb.

"NO!" Screamed all the deatheaters.

I took to helping Neville take on Bellatrix. In the flurry I almost didn't see Harry just dodge a killing curse by two inches. In my fury I screamed 'stupefy' at Yaxley a deatheater we had met earlier in our third year. He fell and I caught the sight of Lucius pointing his wand at Harry across the way. I ran it seemed as if slow motion in the next events. All I saw in those next five seconds were memories of me and Harry.

****************

Harry smiled as he twirled me around the dance floor. I had saved a special dance for harry though I was here with Vicktor. I smiled back as he spun me out and in. He dipped me low and I laughed. He placed his hands back in proper place and brushed a strand of hair out of my eyes.

"What?"

"I just never thought the day would come when I would rather dance the night away than head up to my room and read."

"Yeah well I rather like spinning you around until your dizzy."

"Yes well speaking of dizzy perhaps I should sit."

"Okay well thanks for the dance Hermione."

"Your welcome harry."

When he leaned down and gently kissed my cheek I lost all ability to breathe.

*****************

There was knock on my door. I double checked everything to make sure it was perfect then turned to the door. I opened it slowly and peeked at Harry. He smiled broadly and I felt like butter. I stepped back so he could step inside and the moment he did he gasped in surprise.

"Do you like it?"

"Uh…"

"I mean I can always take the candles away."

"Uh…"

"Yeah I mean seriously. I guess they are sort of cheesy."

"Hermione…"

"I guess I could just…" I reached for my wand then started to walk forward.

"Hermione wait." Harry said.

"What?"

"I love it. I promise this will be special. Remember we discussed this."

"Right."

"Nothing you aren't ready for."

"Okay. So uh…why don't we sit?"

"Yes."

We walked over to my king-sized bed and sat down. I sat on one side and Harry across from me. We were facing each other. He was waiting for me to be ready for it. I looked at him and it all started way to fast. We were in each others arms in two seconds. Eventually we slowed the kissing down and I reached between Harry and me and started to unbutton his shirt. I slid it off his shoulders and discarded it onto the floor. Harry and I kissed again and then he gently reached for the bottom of my shirt. I lifted my arms and he pulled it off. His breath caught at the sight of my purple lace bra. I swallowed hard and waited. Harry leaned toward me and suddenly his kiss was gentle. So soft it wasn't even there. He pushed slightly on my shoulder and gently laid me on the pillows of my bed. His lips left mine to explore my neck and lower and as soon as he got close enough I had to beg him to come up to me. He happily obliged as I reached for his zipper and he slid my skirt and underwear off. Harry smiled at me and the whole time all I saw was the love in his eyes.

Afterward we were laying together and Harry was lazily trailing his fingers around me and I smiled at his head which was laying across my chest.

"I love your hair."

"I love your smile."

"I love your eyes."

"I love your brains."

"I love your brawn."

"I love your attitude."

"I love you Harry James Potter."

"I love you Hermione Jane Granger."

************

I ran across the room and as I leapt for harry I screamed:

"NO!"

The killing curse soared right through the spot where Harry had been. We stood quickly and that's when it happened. Lupin had been behind us and Sirius was now dueling Bellatrix and as she screamed it I knew it was going to hit the mark. Harry watched as Sirius's eyes lost the life in them and he fell back into the veil.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Harry screamed.

Lupin rushed forward and held harry as he flailed trying to get free. Tonks pulled me back and I fought to get to him. She restrained me and finally I watched as harry broke free and ran after Bellatrix who was now chanting 'I killed Sirius Black' Over and over again.

We regrouped and finally after about ten minutes we went after Harry. We came as Dumbledore was trying to help Harry. He was being possessed by Voldemort and I watched in terror as the love of my life fought his way back to me.

I was seeing flashes of Hermione's face and I smiled almost to myself and I said:

You'll never know love. You'll never know love and I feel sorry for you. You will never have friends. I have something you will never know, and that is friendship and love. I feel sorry for you."

There was light and pain and I was blacked out.
