Five years later:
"Hermione,Harry. There has been an explosion at one of our protected residents. Take the hippogriff!" Fudge cried out. Harry jumped up, with Hermione following. They ran out the door, where Diamond the Hippogriff waited for them, along with her baby Hippogriff, Pearl. Hermione jumped on Pearl, and Harry on Diamond. Reading the peice of paper, Hermione paled. "It's Ginny's house," she whispered. Harry kicked off. It only took them about ten minutes to arrive at the broken down house. Smoke curled up from the ground, with only one room standing. "Ginny!" Hermione cried. She knew that Draco was gone, and it was just Ginny and the baby. Harry and Hermione landed, running at top speed to the little room. It was obviously a closet. Harry flung the door open. Inside was a red-head woman, with a tiny baby in her arms. Ginny cried out as light hit her face. The tiny baby was crying. Hermione lifted the infant out of Ginny's arms and began to sing to the little girl. Harry hugged Ginny, thankful that she was alive. "I heard him unlock the door, and I hid in this closet with Jasmine. Draco put a spell on it. No matter what, the charm can't be broken by anything," Ginny said tearfully. Jasmine was now asleep. "Hermione," Ginny said, taking the baby back. "You would be great with kids. Why don't you have one of your own?" Hermione blushed. "Well, there has to be two to make a baby....." Suddenly, another explosion down the street pushed the three friends and baby to the ground. Ginny screamed, covering Jasmine with a blanket. Harry blocked Hermione from the flying debri. "Ginny!" Harry yelled. "Get back in the closet! Keep Jasmine covered!" Ginny nodded, and quickly went back into hiding.
The two aurors ran down the street to find another house in ruins. Hermione glanced around and saw two people disappearate. "They disappeared!" she cried. But Harry was heading toward the house. Three bodies lay partly covered in bricks. Harry had tears in his eyes as he picked up the smallest body. Hermione ran over and brushed the child's hair out of her eyes. Hermione jerked the child from Harry. "Candi!" she cried. Candi was Ron's neice, and George's only child. George had handled her delicatly, had played with her whenever the child was bored. Now he had lost her. "Candi, don't go," Hermione sobbed. Hermione was Candi's godmother, while Ron and Harry and the rest of the Weasley men were her godfathers. Candi had enjoyed the attention she had gotten from everybody. George was now slowly standing up. When he saw his child in Hermione's arms, he limped over, and fell at Hermione's feet. "Candi," he wispered. Hermione knelt down, and set the dead child on George's lap. Harry cried out. "She was eleven! Candi had not even started Hogwarts!" He turned his face to the sky, which was now darkening with clouds. "Why?" Harry screamed at the clouds. Candi had favored Harry most of all. And now she was gone. George looked over at where his wife lay. She didn't stir. George had nothing. He looked at the ground and pulled Candi into a last hug, and kissed her on the cheek. George lifted Candi and walked over to a hole that had been behind the house. George put a charm on Candi, that would keep her from rotting. He gently lay her down in the hole and covered her up. No longer would he think of the brunette hair which came from both her father and her mother, or the purple eyes, which came from a long gone family member. No longer would he think of Candi. George turned to his wife, Melanie. Her long brown hair fell around her shoulders, and her aqua green eyes were closed. George gave Melanie a last hug and kiss, and buried her also. "He knew," Hermione whispered. Harry looked up again. "I thought that you would always be there for me!" he cried. Harry was half talking to God, half to Dumbledore, who had passed away two years after they had graduated. "Why did you let this happen?" Harry ended with a sob. Hermione took his hand and pulled him to the ground. She wrapped her arms around him as it began to rain.....
