Hey y'all, this is my first fanfic, and it's like 10:40 at night, and I
tend to be melancholy at night, so if it seems depressing, sorry. Please
r/r!

Hermione sat by the fireplace, waiting for the doorbell to ring. Staring into the fire, she
supposed that she should have been busying around the kitchen, like any other normal girl,
Muggle or wizard. But tonight was different. This very well might be the last time that she'd ever
see him. The doorbell rang, jerking her out of her thoughts and back into reality. Going
downstairs, she checked her hair one last time, before pulling open the door. "Harry!" she said
smiling "I'm so glad you made it!" They hugged briefly before she admitted him in. "What's in the
bag?" Hermione asked, pointing to a paper bag clutched in his hand. Harry smiled, his eyes
twinkling "A bottle of wine. I thought we might celebrate a bit. ""You don't have some master plan
behind all this do you?" she asked teasingly " 'Cause I'd hate to see the famous Harry Potter in
the news for getting me to do something while under the influence." " Hermione! I'm surprised that
you would even think about such a thing!" he replied in an amused yet joking voice. "I could never
do a thing like that!" Hermione chuckled. "Let's get this in some ice." She headed off to the
kitchen, but was suddenly stopped by what seemed like a thick barrier. "Harry," she said
impatiently turning around "Let me put this in something." "I don't think I will. At least not yet.
C'mere." he trailed off, while heading for the living room. The barrier moved with him, so
Hermione was forced into doing exactly that. "Now, I want you to trust me on this, ok?" She
nodded, so he continued "Put the wine on the table, close the curtains, and come over her to the
couch." After following his instructions, she paused in front of him and asked, "What was that all
about?" he pulled her over on the couch and just held her. They stayed like that for a long time.
Go on and close the curtains
All we need is candlelight
You and me and a bottle of wine
Going to hold you tonight
"I'm gonna miss you so much" he murmured into her abundant amount of hair. "So
much." he trailed off, and she twisted to look at him. "You'll be fine, Harry. I promise! You're the
best wizard ever! You WILL come back!" He leaned down and gently kissed her. "I wish I was as
confident. It feels as if he's always going to be there, fighting me, and I'll always have to go off
and destroy him, leaving the people I love behind." He looked down at her. "Like you. And Ron.
And Ginny, and George, and Fred, and every time, it's like it'll be the last time I see you. And I
hate it! I hate it! It sucks! Just sucks so bad!" Hermione looked in his eyes, gazing at him with a
mix of sadness, pity, caring, and love. "Harry, you WILL be okay. I will ALWAYS love you. No
matter what. You know that, right?" Harry blinked, obviously trying not to cry. "And I, you." They
sat for a while more, until Hermione whispered, "Let's have some wine."
We know I'm going away
How I wish...wish it weren't so
Take this wine & drink with me
Let's delay our misery
Save tonight
And fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll be gone
The two of them sat there, gazing into the fire, and they could tell, almost, what the
other was feeling. The other's thoughts, hopes, desires. "I'll go in the morning," Harry said
suddenly. "Early. Don't worry," he said as she started to protest "I'll leave a note. I just. can't go
through the leaving. I wouldn't be able to leave." He noticed she was crying silently and wiped a
tear away. "Don't cry, 'Mione. Please. It'll be better soon, I promise. Just don't cry." They sat in
the silence until Harry whispered, " I love you Hermione." " And I, you." She said, echoing his
earlier words.
There's a log on the fire
And it burns like me for you
Tomorrow comes with one desire
To take me away...it's true
It ain't easy to say goodbye
Darling please don't start cry
'Cause girl you know I've got to go
Lord I wish it wasn't so
Save tonight
And fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll be gone
When Hermione awoke the next morning, she was alone. There was a note on the table,
written in Harry's messy scrawl. Quickly reading it, she set it down in front of her and stared at it,
refusing to let the tears that had formed in her eyes fall.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
" Hermione, I've tried to write this letter before, but I never could manage to quite get the words to work how I wanted them to, and I still don't. But, I'll try my best. I do truly love you Hermione, and I always will. I wish that I could stay here forever with you, but as we all know, I can't. If I don't come back this time, please don't cry for me. I couldn't stand it if you were to cry because of me; that I would be the cause of your tears. I only wish that I could get you to truly understand my feelings. Love forever, Harry" *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*
Tomorrow comes to take me away
I wish that I...that I could stay
Girl you know I've got to go
Lord I wish it wasn't so
Save tonight
And fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll be gone...
Please r/r y'all thanx for reading all the way through!!!!
