I don't own Harry Potter at all

A/N: first new chap of my newly reposted series. I am glad I brought this back. I have taken out the M story I had in here and that will have a home on the other site I post on. For those who want to read it it's called The True Way of Beating a Dark Lord.

Snowflakes decorated her wavy brown hair as she made her way down to where her wayward friend would be. She breathed out a sigh and could see her breath as she pulled her coat tighter to her body wishing she grabbed a warmer coat. She wandered down the path and found the gate. She took a deep breath and headed in. She found him. He was kneeling in front of two gravestones.

"Harry?" she asked.

He turned and smiled sadly.

"Hey Hermione, what are you doing here?" Harry asked.

"Harry, you've been out here for more than two hours. I got worried" Hermione said.

"Oh, I didn't realize it has been that long" Harry said blinking.

Hermione smiled gently and shook her head.

"Aren't you cold?" she asked.

"Uh, no, I used warming charms" Harry said.

Hermione muttered to herself for forgetting to do that then took out her own wand to do it to herself. She felt better quickly as the newfound heat bit back the cold. She then moved and knelt down next to Harry, who made room for her.

"So, have you been catching them up?" she asked.

"Yeah, I told them all about what happened after the final battle and all the clean up we did" Harry said.

"And the Weasleys?" Hermione asked.

"I told them" Harry said with a sigh.

Hermione nodded. The thing with the Weasleys wasn't at all good. Harry refused to go back to Ginny, which made the petite redhead furious and she turned her anger on Hermione as the cause. Harry defended Hermione as he always did and threaten Ginny if she didn't stop. Another shocker was that Ron wasn't at all upset. He looked solemn for a bit then told Ginny to shut her yap. That made them all turned to the youngest male redhead. They all thought he fancied Hermione, but Ron seemed to think differently. He realized after the kiss he shared with Hermione that they were better suited as friends.

Things didn't end well, but Ron stood by his friends in the end since he knew it was the right thing to do. Molly wasn't happy at all with how everything was played out. Her dream of a big Weasley family was crushed. George smiled a small smile, the first since the death of his twin brother.

Back in the cemetery Harry and Hermione sat by his parents' graves. Harry used his hand to trace their names over and over, memorizing how they were spelled.

"Come on Harry, it's getting colder" Hermione said breaking the silence.

Harry sighed and nodded. He got up and helped Hermione up. They wandered back home to the cottage that they renovated themselves. They needed a hide-away from all the media and thanks to a now caring and just Minister of Magic they got that. Only their close friends and members of the DA knew where they were and were keyed into the special wards Hermione had put up.

Once inside the cottage Hermione went to the kitchen and prepared some tea for the both of them. Harry plopped down on the couch and closed his eyes. He was so exhausted. Still even after several weeks after the final battle.

"Here you are" Hermione said as she set a cup of tea down before Harry.

Harry flashed Hermione a grateful grin before taking the cup letting the heat from the cup to warm his hands.

"Thanks Mione, you're the best" he said.

"I know" Hermione said a hint of smugness in her voice.

Harry smiled and pulled her close when she sat down. They sat their neither needing to say a word.

"I love you Hermione" Harry said breaking the silence.

"Love you too Harry" Hermione said.

They smiled at one another and kissed one another. It was short and sweet. No proclamations of love or their undying devotion to one another. They've already shown their devotion to one another during the war. They didn't need any drawn out speeches about how they loved one another when just a few looks from each other spoke volumes. No, everything that needed to be said was those simple words and a kiss.

End

A/N: thought this was a nice short one to do. A break from my crazy ones I've done.
