ok, so where were we? Ah yes...

#LAST CHAPTER#

Crystal screamed in rage, ran to them, pushed Harry roughly aside ,hit his head and felt woozy, grabbed Hermione, and the two of them began to fight, clawing each other, punching, kicking, screaming, biting. Harry tried to get up, but he felt a little dizzy. He watched as the two girls battled out on who will win. They were at the edge of the cliff.

And then, something happened...

Crystal slipped, grabbed Hermione and they both fell towards the sea of lava.

"HERMIONE!" Harry screamed, ran towards the vanishing robes, and grabbed......

Chapter 12

...Hermione's arm before she slipped from view. She clung for dear life, where as Crystal held on to a tiny rock, that she can dug her nails into. She didn't forget that she could fly. But to make yourself soar like Super-man, you have to have full determination, and concentration. Crystal forgot everything, but just clung on, her green eyes widen in fear. Luba wasn't anywhere around to help her. She was near enough to reach out for Hermione's outstreched hand who was trying to help her (a/n: well, waddaya kno?).

"Grab my hand! Come'n Crystal! Grab...grab on!" Hermione cried.

Crystal tried again, and this time, caused her her life. Her hand slipped, and she fell down screaming. She hit the hot lava with a sickening "THWOK"!. Hermione gasped, and almost let go of Harry. This time, they had a very bad problem. Harry was losing his strength, Hermione was in too much pain to try and grab hold. "Her...mione! D...don't let g..go!" Harry groaned, trying to pull her up. "Come...on Hermione! Please! Just try to ...grab hold..."

Hermione swung her body, and tried to reach Harry's hand with the hand she tried to give to Crystal. She had it, but when her shoulder ached, she let go, making the other hand that Harry was grabbing slipped off. "No!" Harry cried pulling with all his might. But he was too weak to even flinch. He was getting dizzier. And if this continues, he was gonna let go of Hermione, and he didn't want that to happen.

Hermione sensed his fear, and she too cried out in worry, "D...don't let go!"

The lava below them was bobbling, giving that sickening , "BLOP!", "BLOP!" sound.

Hermione cried out as her robe started to split int two. "AHHH!!!!"

"Hermione..." Harry whispered groaning.

"Harry!"

Then, her hand slipped. "NO!"

Hermione shrieked and was cut off, when somebody else caught her hand.

"Ron!"

Ron, with a look of determination, shouted, "Don't you give up on us HERMS!"

Hermione's eyes were dirty, mixed with mud and tears. She didn't want to die. She was wrong. She wantd to live. To live a happy life to the two people she loved, especially Harry. She tried again, failed, and she whimpered. "I can't!"

Harry, who regained some of his strength, lay down on the ground reaching for Hermione's arm. "You're not gonna die! Not before I can kiss you!"

Hermione and Ron both looked taken aback. "You're not gonna give up like that Hermione!" Hermione looked at the handsome green eyed boy. Harry stretched his arm even lower, and cried out, "REACH!"

Hermione felt a powerful sensation that surged up and down her body, and now, full of new strength and determination, she swung again, and this time got hold of Harry's hand, and pulling her with great difficulty, Ron and Harry succeeded on getting Hermione out of harm's way. She landed on Harry's body, and the two of them fell on the ground, Harry's back was on the ground. They were silent for a minute, Hermione's head resting on Harry's chest. She was crying again. Harry hugged her close, and whispered, "It's over. Shh...She's gone...it's over Hermione...Don't worry."

Hermione raised her head with great difficulty, stared at the boy that was her best friend, the boy that she so most cared, and the boy that she had a crush for so long. "About that thing you said that I can't die, not before you can kiss me...did you really mean...?"

Harry gave her a weak smile. "We'll have to find out now shall we?"

And he raised her head to Hermione and kissed her softly. They looked at each other for a second, before Harry placed a hand on her face, carressing it, and kissed her passionately this time.

Ron dropped on the ground, exhausted, and when he saw the two little love birds making out, he groaned, and placed a hand on his head. He waved an impatient hand, and muttered, "Get a room!"

Hermione and Harry both laughed uncontrollably, and Harry lowered his head, and Hermione lowered hers at his chest giggling.

Harry, groaned, "I don't know about you two, but I can't wait to get to sleep in my bed."

Ron got up, and helped his friends on their feet. He looked around, and asked, "So, got any idea on how the hell we're gonna get out of here?"

Harry looked around, thought for a moment, picked a small rock, pointed his wand, and said, "Portus."

Hermione was about to protest that he doesn't have authority for that, when Harry cut her off. "I don't think the Ministry would mind. With a situation like this, they'd do anything to get me out of here."

They touched the rock, as Harry whispered, "Three...two...one..."

Harry felt the familiar sensation of a hook being jerked behind his navel. Everything around them disappeared, and they were flying forwards in a whirlwind of colour and sound...

Hermione, Harry, and Ron were all in the hospital, taking cared of by Mdm. Pomfrey. Just as Hermione predicted, Mdm. Pomfrey was fussing about all her bruises. "My god, what did that Crystal do to you?"

Hermione cringed. "Let's just say, she did what she did, and she repaid for what she did."

Mdm. Pomfrey looked at them curiously, but shrugged it off.

An owl suddenly flew inside, and dropped a letter in Hermione's lap.

"Wha-?"

"What is it?" Harry asked.

Hermione teared it openned, and gasped.

Before they knew it, Ron and Harry huddled close to Hermione and read, and they just stared at each other:
