"Peter!" Harry shouted, as him, Ron and Lavender stood up. They, too, saw the whole thing with Hermione and Voldemort.

"You didn't actually think I'd leave you without saying goodbye?" Wormtail teased. "Oh, and by the way…This metor is heading straight for earth. Which, by the time it hit's, you will be dead, and so will half of the worlds population! Goodbye my young friends!" He laughed, then for the last time, disapered.

"Harry! What are we going to do!" Lavender exclaimed, who was now beging hugged by Ron. Harry couldn't think of any way to stop the Metor either.

"I can stop it" Hermione said, holding the Rose between her hands again.

"Hermione! No!" Ron shouted.

"You loose the rest of your strength!" Lavender yelled.

"Don't do it…!" Harry weakly exclaimed.

"It's okay. Why have the Rose if I'm not supposed to use it. Everything will be fine. Now, let's get home!" Hermione said, as she lifted the Rose high over her head. The white robes returing. She held the rose out in front of her again, and instead of a white light, a golden one surrounded the metor. Her plan was break the metor, and have enough space to get home.

Soon enough, she felt herself growing weaker by the second. Harry walked up beside her, and placed his arm over her shoulders. He held out his wand at the crystal and a golden light shot out of it. She looked up to him, and smiled. He smiled back. Ron and Lavender then came up behind them, and did the same as Harry, transfering all of their power and strength. Hermione felt it, and more power came to her. A pink glittery light shot out of the crystal, and incircled the Metor, finally throwing the metor off it's course. Hermione's world then became dark.

"Is she still alive?"

"Of COURSE she's still alive you dolt!"

"What should we say?"

"Maybe you should take your top off, Harry"

"SHUT UP!"

"It was just a joke…"

Hermione heard the familiar voices of Harry, Ron, and Lavender. She slowly opened her eyes, adding laughter. She found herself lying on a hospital bed in the Hogwarts Hospital Wing. Harry, Ron, and Lavender all had big smiles on their faces.

"I thought it was funny, Ron." Hermione said. Ron smiled, then playfully punched her.

"Hey there stranger." He said. But before Hermione could reply, Harry spoke up.

"Um…could you guys leave us alone for a minute?" he asked. Lavender and Ron nodded, they then hugged Hermione and said that they would just see her later on tonight when she gets out.

After Ron and Lavender left, Harry shut the door behind them. Hermione straightened herself up in the bed, folding her hands across her lap. Harry then walked over to her,

"Welcome back." He said, leaning in and kissing her forehead, then sitting down in front of her on the bed.

"So what happend?" She asked, rubbing her eyes. Harry shrugged.

"Well, you…we…destroyed the metor, and you passed out, and we got you back here through the Destination Device. You've been in here for almost a week." Harry said, Hermione screamed.

"A WEEK! I'VE MISSED SO MANY CLASSES!" Hermione said, about to jump out of bed, but Harry stopped her, and laid her back down.

"Now, Now…You need your rest. Madame Pomfrey said you can go back to classes tomorrow."

"But…But…All that work!" Hermione exclaimed, about to cry.

"Hermione…" Harry said, giving her a sturn look. Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Fine! Fine!" she said, raising her arms. The two of them said nothing for awhile, then Harry cleared his throat.

"Herm…I'm sorry." Harry said, Hermione looked back up at him.

"I…I feel so stupid! I should have known that Voldemort would have found out one way or another that I do, love you. And now, I put you in so much pain…and I lost a couple of great weeks with you. You probably hate me know…" He said, looking down. Hermione smiled.

"Harry," she said, then lifted his chin towards her with her finger tips. "ll never hate you. You did what you thought was best for me. Sure, it hurt at the time, but, you did it because you love Ron and me. I love you Harry Potter, and I always will. Unless…you cheat on me, or something WAY out of line." Hermione said, glaring at him. Which made Harry laugh.

"Who would want to do such a stupid thing like that!" He said, then leaning in for a very passionate kiss. After the kiss broke, Harry smiled.

"And Hermione…" Harry said. Hermione smiled.

"What?"

"I love you, too." He said, kissing her again.
