Part two: Justified
A/N: If you thought part one should have been PG, tell me and I'll change it.
I turned around. Everyone in the hall was staring. Harry was looking down at the dead body as if it were a trail of disgusting slime. I smiled. He smiled back, and we hugged.
"You did it," he whispered.
"I did," I whispered back.
Dumbledore rose. "Well," he said. "Um... you are dismissed from Hogwarts. Uh, thanks for coming..."
Simultaneously, the hall stood and walked out in complete silence. Harry and I were laughing uncontrollably. Dumbledore was gazing at us with an odd expression. Once we stopped laughing, we began to cry. We were sad. Desperately sad. I crossed the hall, knelt down beside Ron, and whispered, "Yes."
It was an awkward moment. Finally, Dumbledore spoke.
"Well, you two wait here. I need to discuss this with the minister of magic."
Once Dumbledore had left the Great Hall, I started to cry again. "Harry. He can't be- he can't be-"
"Hermione, are you okay?" he asked.
"NO!" I screamed.
Harry jumped, but he remained rooted to the spot. We stood in silence for at least a half hour. Pretty soon, Dumbledore came back in.
He made it clear that I had just become an auror, and that I would not be sent to Askaban for performing the worst of the three unforgivable curses. "You two are ecscused," he said, and he left.
Harry gave me one last hug, and then he left. I left through the other door.
**************************************************************************
It had been three years. I had killed eleven evil wizards, Ginny and Neville were married, Harry was the world's most popular seeker, and Ron was still dead. I felt dead, myself. And lonely. Very lonely. Little did I know that soon, someone unexpected would come into my life and fill it up with joy once again...
The end of Part 2
A/N: Like? Part three should be coming pretty soon.
