The Power of Love

**************************************************************************************************

Hermione ran through the castle. She raced down the corridors and into the Great Hall. Seeing no one was there, she ran out again. Pass the Entrance Hall; she stopped at the oak doors. She glanced behind her, and then swung open the doors. It was storming outside. Nonetheless, she ran across the Hogwarts grounds. She stopped briefly, to catch her breath. A flash of lighting lit up the sky. It was dark and cold. She couldn't see a thing. Yet, she started again, to run. She knew where she was going.

When I'm lost in the rain

In your eyes I know

I'll find the light to light my way

When I'm scared, losing ground

When my world is going crazy

You can turn it all around and when I'm down you're there

Pushing me to the top

You're always giving me all you've got

She had had a feeling that something was wrong. Then, just before she came outside, Dumbledore had told her and Ron that Voldemort had captured Harry. They had not known where he was, but Dumbledore found him just a few minutes ago. He was back at Hogwarts. Dumbledore told them of how he was found on the grounds, by the lake. But it seemed he didn't survive. Dumbledore said Voldemort had killed him and then Apparated him back to Hogwarts. But Hermione couldn't believe it: Harry couldn't be dead. She had come in search of him.

For a shield from the storm

For a friend

For a love to keep me safe and warm

I turn to you

For the strength to be strong

For the will to carry on

For everything you do

For everything that's true

I turn to you

The cold rain was beating her skin, her entire body was frozen, and the thunder and lighting shook the ground. But she couldn't feel any of it. The only thing she could think about was how much she loved Harry. Ever since she first saw him on the Hogwarts Express. All her memories with him kept playing in her mind. Her heart felt like a knife had cut into it. But she didn't care. All that mattered now was that she had to find Harry.

When I lose the will to win

I just reach for you

And I can reach the sky again

I can do anything

'Coz your love is so amazing

'Coz your love inspires me

And when I need a friend

You're always on my side

Giving me faith, taking me through the night

Another flash of lighting sliced through the dark sky. From the light, Hermione saw the lake. She ran furiously to it. The lake was rocking with the sheets of rain pouring into it; looking deeper, darker, and more dangerous than usual.

Hermione was soaked and couldn't see where she was going. All of the sudden, she tripped and fell. She was panting. "I've got to find him!" she said, between gulps of air. Clutching the wet, muddy grass, she stood up.

A fork of lighting flashed over the lake. Hermione gasped: a body was lying, motionless, under a tree. She ran to the tree, her eyes filling with tears. As she came close, she recognized Harry's form. He was sprawled on the grass, his glasses slightly askew, but undeniably dead. She sat next to him, the tears now flowing freely down her cheeks. "After everything we've been through, it can't end like this." She whispered.

For a shield from the storm

For a friend

For a love to keep me safe and warm

I turn to you

For the strength to be strong

For the will to carry on

For everything you do

For everything that's true

I turn to you

After examining his lifeless body, Hermione knew he had been killed by the Avada Kedavra curse. There was no way she could save him now. She held him close, and whispered the words she had thought about saying for five years:

"I love you."

She closed her eyes and thought about now they would never be together. She opened her eyes; the tears still flowing, and leaned close. She pressed her lips gently against his.

She looked up again and saw that a golden light surrounded her and Harry. It shone brightly for a second then disappeared.

"Hermione?"

"Harry!" exclaimed Hermione. Her tears stopped and hugged Harry. A smile lit up her face.

"I love you too." He said, and then they kissed passionately.

They knew that their love for each other would survive through anything.

For the arms to be my shelter

Through all the rain

For truth that will never change

For someone to lean on

For a heart I can rely on through anything

For that one that I can run to

I turn to you

I turn to you
