Summary: There is one way to avoid the killing curse. Her name is the Goddess of Love and Protection. Harry needs to find her to avoid getting killed by old Voldemort, but only Hermione knows who she is, and she won't tell anyone. Will the Goddess arrive in time for Harry's life to be saved as he fights the final battle? Or will Hermione reveal who the Goddess is?

Disclaimer: I only own the plot, nothing more. Learn to live with it, I have.

Okay, I am so sorry I haven't updated, but life is so crazy right now. My grandfather and father have been getting surgery, freshman year ended, etc, etc. But I have a little time now, so I'll try and update more often. Thanks!

Chapter Ten

"You hurt my people. The ones I love, the ones I watch over. And now you'll pay." Hermione held out her hand, which was shining like the brightest star. Before everyone's eyes, Voldemort writhed and turned to dust, he was no more.

Hermione put her hand down, the glow around her fading. "You saved us Hermione!"Harry told her, turning to look at his beauty. She turned her head to look at him. Her eyes rolled back into her head, and she fainted.

"Hermione! Hermione!" Harry shook Hermione slightly, willing her to wake up. Dumbledore came beside him, tired from the battle.

"Harry, my son, there is nothing you can do but trust her health to Madame Pomfrey." Harry looked up at Dumbledore and nodded. He looked back down at Hermione.

"You'll be okay, I promise." he whispered.

Days turned into weeks. Exams were steadily coming closer and Hermione still hadn't woken up from her coma. Harry and Ron were nervous wrecks, and all the teachers- excluding Snape of course- gave them some slack.

Today was a wonderful spring day. Exams were next week, and for Hermione's sake, Harry and Ron were working their best to pass. Everyday passed in a blur of meals, classes, and studying. Right now, they were studying. Neville ran into the common room.

"Hermione's awake! Hermione's awake!" he yelled. Harry and Ron looked at each other and bolted out of the common room faster than you could say 'Wizard's Chess.' They were at the infirmary in record time. Madame Pomfrey was blocking dozens of students from the doors.

"Hermione only wants to see two people! Harry, Ron, come here!" Everyone parted to let Harry and Ron pass through. They were in a daze. Their Hermione was finally awake, after so long. They got through the doors, Madame Pomfrey shutting them behind the boys. Hermione stood waiting for them. She smiled and ran at them full speed, and they all embraced tearfully. It was long time before anyone said anything. Ron spoke first.

"You've missed it Hermione. Harry and I actually studying without you harping at us." Everyone laughed.

"Oh, how I've missed my boys!"

"We've missed you too Hermione." Hermione studied them. They looked dog- tired, and she could tell that they had worried about her a lot. But all in all, they were still her mischievous boys.

The boys studied Hermione in return. She looked well rested- not a surprise- and very happy. She could tell that they had questions. "Fire away boys." she smirked.

"Um, Hermione, where were you at the beginning of the battle?" asked Ron.

"Well, Voldemort had me locked in the dungeons hoping I would die or something. He's a real loony you know."

"Hermione, we've missed you."

Hermione smiled. "I've missed you too. All the while I was in that horrid coma, I was always dreaming of you two. I even went to heaven for a while. I met your parents Harry. They really are wonderful people. You're a lot like your dad Harry, and you really do have your mom's eyes." Harry smiled, remembering his parent's old photos.

"Well boys, I suppose we should get a move on, I have a lot of studying to do!" They boys audibly groaned.

"Hermione! No!"

Hermione chuckled. "I'm only kidding. Let's go celebrate!" And they linked arms and walked out of the infirmary, the Golden Trio whole again.

Note: Tis not the end! Hahaha. Anyway, I'm very near the end, so sad! Well toodles!
