EPILOGUE


"Oliver?" Hermione asked as she stepped out of the car which was parked in the driveway of her house. There was no reply. He must be inside, Hermione thought.

"Thanks Harry!" she exclaimed, wrapping her arms around him in a big bear hug.

"You're welcome Hermione," he replied cheerfully, unloading her luggage from the boot of his 'muggle car'. He helped her carry it up to the doorstep when Oliver appeared out of nowhere.

"HERMS!" he cried so loudly that the dog next door started barking.

"OL!" she replied, dropping a suitcase on Harry's foot (causing him to jump up and down in pain) and giving him a huge kiss.

"Uhh, I'll be going now!" Harry said after a minute and began to descend the steps.

"Harry?" Hermione said, breaking away from Oliver for a slight second.

"Yes?" he replied, turning around.

"Thank you," she said.

Hermione didn't need to say anything else because Harry understood. They had developed a special bond that could never be broken but it wasn't a romantic bond at all. Her heart lay with Oliver and his with a french girl but they had a very special friendship that no one else could understand, not even Oliver.

Harry's car pulled out of the driveway and drove into the distance and arm in arm, Hermione and Oliver entered their home, this was a new beginning for both of them. Things may have changed, hell, their lives had changed forever but they were moving on now and onto better times. Times they could now call happy as no one ever had to say 'I wanna be where you are' again. They were together, and that was all that mattered.
