Ginny and Luna had walked away from Hermione in the Entrance Hall, both of them wishing they were going with her instead of out to the pitch. Even Ginny, who couldn't believe it when Harry had offered a go on his Firebolt, would have rather been by Hermione's side.
"You two," Luna laughed, drawing Ginny form her thoughts, "You're amazing you know that?"
"Well, yes, but why exactly?" Ginny asked, joining Luna's laughter.
"You managed to tell each other exactly how you feel...without ever saying the words..." Luna took her hand, "She thanked me you know? When she hugged me...you've got a very smart girlfriend," she teased her.
Ginny laughed and shook her head.
"She's not." At Luna's incredulous look she continued, "She's not my girlfriend, yet..."
"She's as good as..." Luna corrected, "I know you're worried about her right now, Gin...she knew you would be too...I don't know how she did it, but I think she somehow prompted Harry to let you try his broom...take your mind off it.'
Ginny smiled evilly as she and Luna almost caught up with the boys.
"Speaking of fun..."
Luna watched as Ginny took off at full speed, grabbed Harry's Firebolt from Ron's shoulder and, a few steps later, mounted it and flew off into the sky. Ron took off after her immediately, swearing and shaking his fist at her from the ground.
She walked up beside Harry and smiled.
"Should we help? Or watch?" She asked him.
"Definitely watch," he said and grinned back, "He deserves this for being such a prat all year and honestly, I don't know that I could do anything to help...shall we go sit in the stands?"
They watched as Ginny and Ron followed them onto the pitch as they went to find a seat in the sun. All Luna wanted to do was lean back and enjoy the feeling of the sun beating down on her face, let it wash away all her worries...but instead she watched Ginny fly. Watched her so she could later show Hermione what she had missed.
She laughed lightly then stopped when she caught Harry's bemused look.
"I'm really not crazy, you know..." She teased him.
"I'm starting to realise that...forgive me for ever thinking you were?" He asked, sincerely.
"Nothing to forgive, Harry," he looked to her in shock, "No really...l did this to myself...it just means my act is working..." She trailed off sadly as she thought of the girl she was slowly falling for.
"Why the act though, Luna?"
"Because, Harry, like you...I knew I would be famous before I ever got to Hogwarts. My mother died due to an exploding potion was I was nine...and everyone thinks my father is crazy...rather than face the questions, I became who everyone would assume me to be...I created Looney Lovegood."
"I didn't know anything...before I found out I was wizard, my aunt and uncle? They told me my parents died in a car accident." He laughed ruefully as he watched Ginny perform tricks on his broom he'd never even thought of, let alone tempted to try, "Wow...she really is better than me!"
"She's been flying since she was six, Harry...you've been doing it what, three years?"
He laughed, "Good point. Is she going to try out for the team next year?"
"Can you keep a secret?"
"After last night?" He said laughing, "You really need to ask?"
"Hermione is getting Ginny a broom for her birthday...don't ruin the surprise."
"She has that much money, Hermione, I mean?" He asked awed.
"She does...and she's earned most of it herself."
"I should have known that...I mean, she' always given me and Ron great gifts..." He looked at her with a knowing grin, "She got them their new owl, didn't she?"
Luna grinned, "She did...what does Ron know?"
"Mrs. Weasley told them it had shown up at their door with a note asking them to give it a good home." He laughed, "She's got more money than Malfoy doesn't she?" Luna nodded, "No wonder she hates him so much."
"She doesn't hate him, Harry, he's not worth the energy or the thought...she dislikes his attitude, mind. Someone like Hermione, she gives gifts out of love...not to show how much money she has...he would do it just to show how wealthy he is..."
"It was awesome when she punched him..." he laughed as he remembered the look on Malfoy's face, "It's funny...my parents left me a bunch of gold, I never thought to use a little to get myself new clothes."
"You're a boy, Harry, most boys don't think about the clothes they wear and you didn't think of it because that was what you were used to..."
Harry looked at her thoughtfully.
"Everything's changing isn't it...not just Voldemort coming back...but something changed this year..." He shook his head, trying to find the words to explain what he was thinking, "When Hermione first started hanging out with you guys, I thought it was just because she wasn't talking to us...now I realise it's because she'd rather hang out with you guys..." Harry looked at her and reached for her hand to get her attention, "I've never seen her happier though so how can I really let it bother me? Especially when she saved mine and my Godfather's asses last night."
"You're a smart boy, Harry Potter...and it's far more complicated than just her preferring our company to yours...thank you, by the way, for just doing as she asked and not trying her to explain how she did the things she did...it's for your own safety, and ours."
"I know Hermione well enough to know when it's best to just do as I'm told...not that I'm not curious...but, whatever it was the three of you did last night...it saved our lives, that's all I need to know."
They turned their attention back to the pitch to find Ron so red in the face it looked as though it was about to explode. He was searching the sky for Ginny when she swooped down from behind him and smacked him with the end of the broom as she flew over his head. He stumbled and fell to his knees.
"You'd think he'd give by now." Luna said thoughtfully.
"He's been waiting since I got it to give it a go...honestly if Ginny hadn't taken it from him I doubt she'd have gotten to try it..." He waved to Ginny and pointed downwards when she noticed them.
She flew down and landed gracefully a few feet from where Ron stood. She threw him the broom to his shocked expression and walked over to join them in the stands.
"Thanks Harry...that was amazing..." She said once she was close enough.
"No, Gin...thank you...you're every bit as good as Hermione said you were..." He stood and looked at the two girls as Ginny went to sit beside Luna, "I'm going to grab one of the spare brooms and join him..."
He looked at Luna a moment, "Thanks for the talk, Luna."
"You too, Harry..." She smiled then watched him walk towards the changing room.
Ginny looked at her friend.
"You do like him!"
Luna sighed, "I do...but he's not ready for me...he still needs to grow up a bit..."
"I thought you liked a girl!"
"I do...a lot, as you so rightly pointed out this morning...but her? I can hide from her what we are...I'm not going to be able to do that with Harry, because he's going to need to know someday so we can help him. And he can't know yet...he can't know until he has to know."
"For his safety and ours?" Ginny asked quietly as they watched Harry take off on one of the school brooms.
"Yes...something's coming, Gin, something big...I knew it before I heard Trelawney's prediction...we're somehow meant to help him...we already have..." She took Ginny's hand and continued, "Only makes sense I'll end up with him eventually...you and Hermione together, and me and him...it's love that makes us so strong...knowing that, I want a chance to have some fun before I make that commitment."
Ginny looked towards the castle.
"Think she's okay?"
Luna closed her eyes a moment and tried to focus in Hermione.
She smiled and opened her eyes.
"She's happy...really really happy..." Luna said softly.
"So what were you and Harry talking about?"
"Oh...just the state of affairs...he admitted you fly better than him."
"More practice," She laughed, "And it's even more fun now...knowing I can't get hurt."
"You somehow must have always known that then...cause you've always been fearless when you fly." She teased but then turned serious, "You still need to be careful Gin, people will ask questions if you heal yourself from an accident you shouldn't be able to walk away from."
"I know..." She sighed.
"I'm going to work on that potion this summer...so both of you can use it, I have a feeling you're going to need the help...you both are." Luna said softly.
"Thanks Luna..."
"She knows, Gin, she knows that once you both give into this...it'll consume you...she wants to wait until she can give you all that you deserve..."
"I know that, Luna, I do...look how much it has consumed us already and we've barely admitted to each other how we feel...it doesn't make it any easier, the waiting."
"Is it enough to know she knows she loves you and waiting is now going to be just as hard for her?"
"It's enough, yes...but it only makes it harder..." She sighed, "Kind of wish I'd made more of that kiss last night..."
…
Hermione had left her Magical parents behind and wandered somewhat aimlessly towards the Astronomy Tower hugging the book that told of their past tightly in her arms. Her head ached, it was so full of new information.
She shook her head as she entered the sunlight of the tower. She raised her face to the sun and let it wash over her a moment before turning and looked towards the Quidditch pitch. She could just make out two people flying and quickly realised neither of them were Ginny.
She sighed as she opened the book to the painting of the original Amice Sisters.
She and Ginny never stood a chance against what they were feeling...they'd always felt it. They were, truly destined, to be together.
She put the book on the ground and then slid down and sat against the wall.
She put her face her hands and sighed.
Hermione hadn't expected them to be so forthcoming. She kind of wished now, that they hadn't. She felt as though she'd aged since she walked into Dumbledore's office and she was a little jealous that Harry was being spared from the knowledge of his destiny. She knew now, that she and her friends were meant to help him be ready, and that's why they were determined to prepare them.
She was sorely tempted to keep this information from her friends...spare them the burden. But, not only did she know that wouldn't be fair, she knew they needed to know, they needed to be able to prepare themselves for what was to come.
She looked down at the bracelet on her wrist...the thing that had first alerted them to their connection and thought of how everything had changed on Halloween night, and laughed lightly. Someday she would have to tell Sirius that his breaking in was the best thing to ever happen to her and realised that they'd already repaid him.
"It really is all about love," she sighed as she went to rub her temples. Her small headache had grown only worse.
She sighed again and stood to look back towards the pitch. Everything was about to change again. She knew that the information she now had to share with Ginny would only make their unspoken agreement to wait even harder. But that they had their rest of their, possibly, very long lives to be together. She was content with the way things were right now...she wasn't sure she was ready for them to change.
She knew if they spoke aloud what they needed to, it would change everything but she knew that they had to. Ginny needed to understand...it was just as hard for her to wait.
She closed her eyes and focused in on Ginny. Not because she wanted to exclude Luna, but because she didn't have the strength to contact them both.
As it was she was only able to send one thought.
"Astronomy Tower."
"Be right there..." Came Ginny's quick reply.
She looked down to the entrance of the pitch and watched as Ginny and Luna came out. She laughed when she realised they were both climbing onto a broom together. As they got closer she saw that Luna was holding Ginny for all she was worth, her eyes shut tight. They came to land gently beside her.
"You could've walked." She laughed as she watched Luna shakily get off the broom and went to hug her.
"Ginny said you were really quiet...we were worried," she said, shaking her head, "And I just don't like heights much and the school broom kind of sucks..."
Hermione turned to find Ginny watching her.
"Come here," She said quietly and went to hug Ginny.
She pulled her close and sighed when she felt Ginny's arms envelope her. She now knew exactly why this had always felt so right...it was time for Ginny to know that too.
Luna cleared her throat and waited for her friends to notice her.
"Should I leave you two alone?" She teased.
"No, Luna...we need you here..." Hermione said softly as she drew Luna to them, "There's some things you need to know, Gin...it's only going to make what we have to do harder." She said as she looked down at her then kissed her forehead.
"So you need me here to help you keep your hands off each other?" Luna teased.
Hermione smiled, "You always have, Luna, thank you," she answered as she kissed her forehead, "I only hope you're still up to the task...for a little while longer?"
Ginny looked up to Hermione and stepped away a little.
"You sure you're ready to talk about this?" She asked her.
"No...it only make it real and harder to resist you," She replied as she went to touch Ginny's cheek, "But I found out a lot of information today, Gin...things you both need to know...and it's going to change things, Gin...we have to talk about how we feel..."
Ginny reached up and kissed Hermione's forehead, frowning as she pulled away.
"That's some headache...here." She reached up and placed a hand on her forehead and the pain dissipated immediately, "Better?" She asked as she opened her eyes again.
"Much...thank you..." She smiled, "And I even know why my injuries don't affect you, Gin," She said placing a hand over Ginny's heart.
"Really?" Luna asked awed.
"Yes...they told me everything...didn't even put up a fight." Hermione replied sighing as she pulled Ginny back to her, "It's a lot of information, you guys ready?"
"Are you sure you're okay to do this? Three times in one day?" Ginny asked, concern lacing her voice.
"It's takes less energy than explaining...and we have a lot more to talk about." She smiled and again kissed Ginny's forehead, "There's things I need to say to you, my love, and you need to understand why..." She turned to Luna, "You both do..."
Ginny was stunned. "My love?" She thought to herself.
Hermione smiled to her, nodded and resisted the overwhelming urge to kiss her.
"It's not going to be slow this time, the download...I'm too tired to try and control it...it's going to intense...you ready?" They nodded slowly, "Just accept the information...I told dear-old-dad and Minerva to do that, and it helped a lot. I promise, I'll answer all your questions when you're ready."
They stood and formed their circle in the slowly fading sunlight. Hermione closed her eyes and organised her thoughts one last time, sincerely hoping this would be the last time she had to do this for awhile. When she was ready she squeezed their hands and felt them squeeze back.
"Deep breath," she said quietly. She heard them breath in deep as she joined, "Here we go."
Hermione held their hands tightly as she started the flow of information. She felt them both almost take a step back as it hit them. And then it was over.
Hermione didn't open her eyes again until she felt Ginny in her arms again, and then Luna join them.
She held them tightly as she knew the information she had just given them was starting to make sense. Was slowing replaying in their minds at the speed it had originally happened. Just like the first time Minerva had given her information.
After a few minutes had passed, Ginny said quietly, "Do you have the book?"
Hermione nodded and after picking it up, sat down against the wall. She opened it to the portrait of the Amice Sisters as they came to join her. She put her arm around Ginny's shoulders and pulled her close as they turned to look at the book.
Ginny reached out her hand and touched the pictures of their former selves.
"All makes sense now...doesn't it?" She asked them softly.
"You really think those were memories Tom showed me?" Ginny asked softly.
"I do...I don't think he'd have been able to do it otherwise...all he had to do was bring them to present day and let how we already felt about each other mold the dreams for him..." Hermione explained, she paused and waited for Ginny to look at her.
"I do love you, Ginny, even longer than either of us ever knew...but you understand why we have to wait?"
Ginny looked into her eyes and told her, "Hermione, my love? In my dreams I've kissed you a thousand times," she broke eye contact and looked down as she thought to her, "...made love to you everynight in my dreams ever since I got them back..."
Hermione lifted Ginny's face to look at her.
"I don't know how I'm going to wait for the real thing...but, Gin...when we finally do? It's going to be epic..." She smiled, "We have too much to do, too much to deal with..."
"We're going to lose ourselves in this and we don't have time for that right now?" Ginny asked softly.
"It's more than that, Gin...I know, with absolute certainty, that I love you...not a single trace of doubt in my mind...but I'm still coming to terms with it, still getting used it...I want us to wait until we're both able to abandon ourselves...you deserve, we deserve that, and so much more."
Ginny smiled, "I never thought I'd get to tell you," She said as she searched Hermione's eyes, "I love you...so soon."
"Me neither...I wanted to tell you this morning..."
"You did..." Ginny smiled.
"I'm glad you caught that," Hermione looked back down at the book, "Did you notice the caption? How old they were was the painting was done?"
Ginny and Luna leaned forward and read it.
"We not only have the rest of our lives, my love...it would appear we have many lifetimes yet to live together," Ginny looked up to her, "As much as I want to jump in right now, Gin, I do, I really really do...I like the way things are with us right now...so much has changed since this morning...I'm not ready for what we already have to change too...can you understand that?"
"Maybe just one kiss?" Ginny asked softly.
"I wish I could, Gin...but if I kiss you now? I don't know that I could stop...and I don't think I could live with that memory every time I looked at you..." She trailed off as she pulled Ginny to her, "It was already hard enough sleeping without you before I figured it out...I already miss you." She said, kissing the top of Ginny's head and resting her cheek against it.
Hermione looked to Luna when she felt her hand in hers.
"I'm sorry, Luna...we're worse than Minerva and Rosmerta, aren't we?" She asked her.
Luna shook her head, "I'm just glad you two are talking about this...even if it is going to make things more difficult. Besides...you guys are giving me loads of good stuff to use on Padma next year."
Ginny sat up, "Padma Patil?"
Luna smiled, "You guys are being so honest right now, seems only fair I should be too."
Hermione laughed lightly, "Like you need our help..."
Ginny laughed, "And you only know the half it...looks like you were right, Looney, about Harry."
"I'm sorry...what about Harry?" Hermione asked, shocked.
"She like's him too...we were talking about it earlier..." Ginny trailed off.
"Now that I've heard the Prophecy about us...it only confirms it...you two will be together and he and I will be...love does make us stronger after all..." She sighed, "But unlike you two...I want to have a little fun before that happens...I want Padma.'
Ginny sat up and looked at Hermione.
"Do you want that too? Date other people till we're ready?" She asked sadly.
"No, Gin...I want you to be my first everything...and it wouldn't be fair to anyone I dated...it could never last, they wouldn't be you...you're all I want...all I need...all I've ever needed...I'm sorry it took me so long to figure that out." She said as she stroked her cheek.
"You guys are too romantic..." Luna sighed softly, "I told you it would only get worse..."
Ginny explained when she saw Hermione's confused expression.
"Monday...when you woke up on the couch...yes, we were talking about Minerva but, before that, Luna had commented how cute we were and how much worse it was bound to get by the time we get together."
Hermione sighed, "I realised this morning, God, was that only this morning?" They laughed, "I realised we've been showing each other all along how we feel...and I'm sorry about Easter morning, Gin..."
"Don't be, you were asleep..." Ginny started but Luna interrupted her.
"And it really wasn't your fault, Hermione...there's something we need to tell you about that morning and something Ginny's figured out since then."
"Am I about to find out what really happened in the shower?" She asked them.
Luna nodded, "I gave Ginny a potion to help her deal with affect you were having on her… unfortunately, the antidote was out of date...it's supposed to let whatever you've bottled up dissipate over the course of the day...Ginny was hit with it all at once."
"That's why you didn't call out me, isn't it?" Hermione asked Ginny softly.
"I couldn't...I didn't have time to think but, Hermione," She said looking down, feeling guilty, "the reason you did what you did and the reason you woke up all turned on earlier this week..."
Ginny looked up at Hermione's light laugh.
"Just what did you do to me in my sleep?" She teased.
"Nothing physical...I mean I didn't grope you or anything if that's what you think." She laughed lightly.
"Good...I'd rather be awake to enjoy it." Hermione teased her.
"Hermione...you know how you and I can use our gifts to project?" Luna asked and continued when Hermione had nodded, "So can Ginny."
"I've been feeling your attraction to me and feeding you my own...I wasn't sure I was doing it until of a couple of days ago." She admitted quietly.
"I'm glad you tried, Gin...you needed to know if that's what you'd been doing and if you hadn't, not only would I probably still not know how I feel...but dear-old-dad and Minerva wouldn't have been able to tell us everything if I hadn't figured it out. Now we can move on...become what we're supposed to be."
"And like you two...now that I know I'm doing it...I can control it...hopefully it'll make our waiting a little easier." Ginny said softly as she laid her head back down on Hermione's shoulder, "Not that I want to..."
Hermione laughed and kissed her head.
"Nor do I really want you to, my love...but we both have to, hopefully it'll make it little easier on you...now that I know what I've been doing to you all this time, I'll try harder to control myself too..."
"Not too hard I hope?" Ginny asked.
"I'm not giving up what we already have, Gin, I couldn't if I tried..."
"You mentioned something about her healing?" Luna asked.
"Soulmates, Gin," She said as she reached her hand to place it over her heart, "...Aristotle said, 'Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies." She smiled, "I am a part of you and you are a part of me...when you heal me, you're healing yourself."
Ginny reached her hand out and again ran her hand over their portrait.
"We never stood a chance, did we? Everything that has happened to us...all the little things that had to happen for us to come together the way we have...it all happened because it had to..."
"But we don't share the same fate, Gin, as the Amice Sisters...we have their history to guide us, more knowledge than they had..." Hermione assured her.
"And they didn't have a trio of powerful witches and wizards to help them."
"Trio?" Ginny asked surprised.
" Dear-old-dad, Minerva and Rowena." Luna answered simply, "Not to mention, the Chosen One, Harry..."
"That's the real reason you're not ready to get involved with Harry, isn't it?" Hermione asked her.
"After what dear-old-dad told you...it'd be easier to not be around him than have to lie to him." Luna replied.
Hermione lifted Ginny's face to look at her, "Now you understand why, despite knowing how much harder it's going to make it, why I had to tell you I love you."
"I love you, too...I have from the moment I met you..."
"That's not true, Gin...you had a crush on her before you even met her."
Hermione blushed.
"That true?" Hermione asked Ginny.
"Yeah...I spent the whole summer hearing Ron prattle on about your adventure in your first year...but as soon as I saw you...as soon as I shook your hand the first time...I knew." Ginny admitted softly.
"Want to know when I knew?" Hermione asked her softly, Ginny nodded, "Last night when I kissed you."
Ginny laughed, "You really are just like Minerva...she told me she knew she started to have feelings for Radha but she that she didn't know for sure until she kissed her..."
"I can't believe she was almost your mother." Luna giggled.
"If she had been though...this might not have happened..." Hermione said softly, "And despite how much more complicated our lives have just become...I wouldn't change a thing."
"I would," Ginny said mischievously, "I should have kissed you back last night..."
"Would you be content with just a kiss, Gin? I don't know if I would be..." Hermione said softly, wanting so badly to test that theory.
Ginny sighed and put her head back on Hermione's shoulder.
"Hermione...do have enough strength for me to show a memory? You really should see Ginny fly..."
"Thank you, Luna...I'd like that." Hermione smiled as she took Luna's hand.
She watched Luna's memory and laughed.
"She's right, Gin...just cause you can't get hurt, doesn't mean you shouldn't avoid it."
"I will." She replied quietly.
"Luna...can you meet us downstairs in the Great Hall? I promise we'll behave." Hermione said quietly.
Luna studied them both a moment.
"I can work on that potion I told you about, maybe make it easier for you?" Luna offered as they all slowly got to their feet.
"Thank you, Luna, but now that I know what these feelings are...as hard as they can be to cope with...I'd rather enjoy them." Hermione replied as she went to hug her, "If it gets too bad, we'll let you know."
Luna went to hug Ginny too.
"I love you both and I'm so happy for you...I really am." Luna told them before she left.
They watched her leave and then Hermione leaned back against the wall and opened her arms to Ginny.
She leaned her forehead against Ginny's.
"I love you..." Hermione said quietly.
"And I love you..."
Hermione leaned back to look in her eyes, searching them a moment, before she asked softly.
"Can you content yourself with just kissing for now?" She asked softly.
Ginny swallowed the lump her in throat.
"Can you?"
"I'm willing to try...I don't think I can't wait to really kiss you...and once I have, I'll want another...but we can't go past that, not yet, my love..." Hermione said, almost whispering.
"You're not ready for more than that...I didn't expect you to be ready for this...and I guess I'm not really ready yet, either." Ginny assured her.
Hermione reached up and softly ran her thumb across Ginny's forehead and along her jaw.
"You're beautiful, you know that? You're getting more so everyday..." She said softly as she reached her hand around behind Ginny's head and pulled her into a kiss.
Ginny leaned into the kiss hungrily while Hermione seemed to be trying to make up for those she had withheld. Their lips touched softly at first and then Hermione moaned as Ginny's tongue entered her mouth.
Ginny felt as though she was melting and on fire all the same time. She broke the kiss only to trail her lips along Hermione's jaw and then slowly bit and kissed her way along her neck until she was pulled back into another kiss, Hermione's hand tangling in her hair.
When the finally came up for air Hermione leaned her head against Ginny's forehead again.
"Better than your dreams?" she asked her softly.
Ginny reached forward and touched Hermione's lips again softly before pulling away entirely and stepping back.
"So much better...that's why we need to stop now..." Ginny replied quietly as Hermione followed her to the opposite wall and then pushed her up against it.
Hermione kissed her again as she ran her hands along Ginny's arms and then came to hold her face.
She pulled away and looked into Ginny's eyes. She leaned forward to whisper in GInny's ear.
"If this is the most we're going to do for a while...I want to enjoy it." She kissed Ginny's neck just below her ear and slowly kissed her way down her neck.
"Hermione?" Ginny said throatily and waiting for her to meet her eyes, "I never thought I'd say this but...you really need to stop."
Hermione leaned in and kissed her again.
"I know...I just really don't want to..." She said softly.
"We have the rest of our lives, my love, we have time..." Ginny told her softly before pulling her in for one last kiss, "But we really should go...before we can't?"
"You're right," Hermione said laughing, "But Gin? I think I understand now why you take so many showers..."
Ginny laughed and pushed herself away a little.
"It's okay...you'll join me for one someday." She said as they kissed again.
"I'd like that..." Hermione replied as she stepped away and reached down for their book, "Dinner?" She asked as she held her hand out to Ginny.
She laughed a little and took Hermione's hand.
"When you're ready...I've been using those diaries your dear-old-dad gave me to write down everything that's happened this year...you might find some of it really funny."
"I'll take them with me to my parents...something to hold onto to, till I can hold you again."
"Hermione, my love?" Ginny said as she pulled her a to stop on the stairs, "Thanks for not making me wait till next year."
"That was the plan, love, but I couldn't if I tried." She said as she reached to touch her face, "We just have to take things slow...you okay with that?"
"Better slowly forward than not moving at all."
A/N So um, yeah...this wasn't supposed to happen until the end of the next book. But with all the information Hermione just found out, I knew it was time. Should be one last chapter of this book before we're on to the next...I hope you all love this chapter as much I do...
