I'm sorry that I ended the story abrupt and unfinished so I will add another three chapters that will hopefully answer all questions.

Hope you enjoy

The moment Hermione was released from the infirmary, she made a short stop at her guardians bedside to silently pray for his health to return before departing Hogwarts grounds without alerting the remaining occupants that chose to stay behind to help rebuild the destroyed castle.

The haven was silent and empty as she entered though the main doors where Winky and Dobby stood waiting for their mistresses to return, upon seeing Hermione they jumped with joy rushing forward to hug their mistress legs.

"Winky is glad Mistress Hermy has returned, wes waiting for Mistress Cissy to come" Her large ears flapping in excitement, her big round eyes shimmering with pure love that it broke the brunettes heart but they deserved to know the truth.

Detaching herself from the overeager house elves, she knelt gently in front of them "It will only be me now.." The tears started to fall, her voice breaking "Narcissa didn't make it" Straightening up Hermione excused herself to her rooms unable to watch the devastation on her little helpers faces.

Her steps halted in the doorway, the once beautiful room remained untouched, their bed unmade from the night before. She couldn't stomach staying in their room by herself, quietly sealing the door up, Hermione walked the distance to the guest rooms on the other side of the Manor.

The hours stretched into days, the cold lonely mornings turned into unbearable nights. Sleep evaded the heartbroken witch, food came unthinkable even with Winky and Dobby trying their best to coax her to eat but Hermione wasn't having any of it.

Her nerves were frayed and her mind started to unravel sealing herself off from the outside world, she ordered the house elves to block all access to visitors. She stayed tucked away in her room, never stepping foot outside.

Her red ringed eyes sore and puffy, her dishevelled state offensive but she didn't care, all Hermione wanted was to fade away.

Winky and Dobby became desperate, seeing their Mistress decline before their very eyes was unforgivable. So desperate they came that they disobeyed and left the once safe haven turned self imposed prison to seek out help.

Darkness consumed the witch.

"We meet again Hermione" The silver haired woman watched her young charge appear before her. Taking her time to circle the broken mortal "What can I do for you?".

Hermiones breath hitched upon seeing Fate once more "Am I dead now?" Her voice flat. Stepping around the strange woman her feet taking her towards the waters edge, staring out across the clear sea.

"Not like the last time you graced me with your presence. You chose to live so you could help end the war and to extract revenge but I have seen your death defying stunts, your cries for help. I have also seen you grow into a stunning woman that found true love with her fated one" Fate stepped into the calm water, allowing the liquid to pool around her feet.

Sitting on the wet sand, staring ahead "Then why did you take her from me from us?" Barely a whisper but Fate heard.

Knowing in her heart what she desperately wanted more than anything in the world, Hermione forced herself to feel again, to break the ice that took hold of her dying heart. She pushed herself up, paddling into the sea.

"You once told me that I was different, special even because I didn't follow your planned path for me instead I carved my own" Grabbing Fate by the shoulder and forcing her to look into her cinnamon eyes "I did everything I could to help make the outcome of the war better for everyone involved, I opened up a safe home for those who wanted no part of the fighting to instead protect their loved ones. I did that with Narcissa and it was my fault that she died. Intertwined fate you should of told me that before I went back but it doesn't matter" Breathing heavily, tears falling again "I'm here so I can make things right. Please let Narcissa come back to me and I shall do everything in my power to make sure the likes of Ronald Weasley and Albus Dumbledore face their crimes and for a war to never pass again".

Fate smiled at the woman "I shall fate it but know this Hermione Granger I do not do this for anyone. You have proved me wrong many times since your return to the living" Placing a hand on Hermiones cheek "Do not return here again" Blowing gently into the brunettes face as her eyes slid shut and she for the final time disappeared from Fates view "Good luck Hermione Granger".
