My Last Breath

A/N Had to write it, cause I wanted to, lol. PLZ REVIEW AFTER YOU'VE READ!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"HERMIONE!" Ron screamed, getting up and running to her. He didn't care that Voldemort was still there. Luckily, she was still alive..but barely. 'Please don't die, Hermione, please!' he begged to himself. He took her in his arms to steady her. Harry and Ginny couldn't run over because a Death Eater was watching them. Both were very shocked and scared of what had just happened.

"Ron?" Hermione whispered shakily.

"I'm here, don't worry," he said to her. By now, he was getting tears in his eyes. Seeing her like this was pretty hard for him.

"I love you," she told him in a whisper he could hardly hear, while reaching out to put a hand on his cheek. She was dying.

~*~*~

Hold on to me love

You know I can't stay long

All I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid

Can you hear

Can you feel me in your arms?

~*~*~

"I love you, too," Ron said, putting his hand on hers.

"Ever since I first saw you, I've loved you. I knew we were suppose to be together, and I wanted to marry you and have a family with you, but now we can't do those things," Hermione said.

"Don't say that, Hermione. You're going to be alright," Ron said, as the tears started rolling down his cheeks. But it was a lie. He knew that she was going to die, but he didn't want to believe it. "I'm sorry for all the things that I said in the past few years. I've never ment to hurt you. When you came in the train on our first day, I loved you. I know I didn't know it just yet, but then I did. Everything about you I liked, even if I said otherwise. In our 4th year, I was jelous that you were going with Krum to the Yule Ball. That's why I was so mad and yelled at you. I'm sorry for all those things," he told her, trying not to cry out of control.

"I'm sorry for all the things I said, and saying you never do you homework correctly, and all the things like that. I know I can be really bossy, and a know-it-all, and I'm sorry for that. And all those times Malfoy insulted me, or Snape, I thank you for sticking up for me. You're everything to me, even if I don't think I deserve you," she said.

"You know that's not true, Hermione. I'm the one who doesn't deserve you, trust me. But again, we'll be together, forever, always," Ron told her, and she smiled.

~*~*~

Holding my last breath

Safe inside myself

Are all my thoughts of you

Sweet rapture life

It ends here tonight

~*~*~

"Ron..I know I'm dying..aren't I?" Hermione asked him. He looked into her eyes. They were loosing their brightness and life. "I am.."

"Well.." Ron tried to say, but he couldn't. It was a hard thing telling the one you loved that they're going to die. Telling anyone that would be hard. Hermione sighed.

"I'm going to miss so much things. Like the winter. I won't be able to lie next to you by the fire anymore. Or the summer days where we can watch the sunset. But above all, I'm going to miss you, Harry, and Ginny," she said. "You guys make me happy about life and about the days. And it's not like I'll be gone for a short time..it'll be forever. I have to leave everyone and everything behind." Now Ron, who hadn't spoken for a while, had tons of tears pouring down his cheeks. It was like they would never stop.

~*~*~

I'll miss the winter

A world of fragile things

Look for me in the White Forest

Hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)

I know you hear me

I can taste it in your tears

~*~*~

After seconds of silence, Ron leaned in and kissed her, as she kissed back.. He didn't care if there was a crowd. He loved her and nothing would come between them, even death. If she died, he'd wouldn't be able to live happily. He'd think of her every day and night. By now, Hermione's breaths were slowing down and sometimes she stopped completely.

"Hermione?! Breathe slowly, in and out. You can do this; you'll live through it," Ron told her, and she tried, but it wasn't much help.

"Ron," she gasped, "I..can't do this, it's too..too hard." She was crying now; not in pain, but she was scared of death.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine, I swear!" he said.

~*~*~

Holding my last breath

Safe inside myself

Are all my thoughts of you

Sweet rapture life

It ends here tonight

~*~*~

Ron closed his eyes to dry his tears. He couldn't believe this was happening. Never in his life would he have thought that this was how it would end.

Harry and Ginny wished they could go over and help. Their best friend, practically sister, was dying.

"Harry! This can't be happening," Ginny cried into his shoulders.

"It's ok, Gin, it's ok," he whispered to her, while putting his arms around her for comfort. Both of them were crying, and both of them were in pain. Harry couldn't stop himself from feeling what he was feeling. So many memories, laughter, adventure..they wouldn't go on anymore. It ended here, whether they liked it or not.

The dreams Ron had were flowing through his head. Everything was going the wrong way. He wanted everything to be the way it use to be..happy, loving..carefree..but that was no more.

~*~*~

Closing your eyes to disappear

You pray your dreams will leave you here

But still you wake and know the truth

No one's there

~*~*~

Hermione had now completely stopped breathing, and she knew she was about to die. Ron was panicking and didn't know what to do.

"Hermione, please don't leave me! You can't leave me," Ron cried. She looked into his eyes, with hers saying, 'I'm sorry' and then they closed. He quickly did CPR. After minutes of trying to revive her, both muggle and wizard ways, they knew it wasn't going to work; she was dead, gone forever. Tears silently fell down Ron's cheeks, and to the floor. Harry and Ginny were also crying again.

"I love you, Hermione.." Ron whispered to her.

~*~*~

Say goodnight

Don't be afraid

Calling me calling me as you fade to black.

~*~*~

Ron then wiped them away, and got up. With his wand facing Voldemort, while glaring at him, he spoke.

"You killed my mum, my dad, and the love of my life. You are going to repay for this in more ways than you can imagine." With that, he yelled a few curses to slow him down, but Voldemort dodge them.

"You think you have a chance to win? In your dreams," he sneered, and yelled the Avada Kadavera curse, which Ron dodged aswell. "I guess you aren't that bad, but you won't win. I think, though, that the game is over now." Voldemort yelled a spell and ropes flew out of his wand and had Ron tied up. Before anything else happened, the Great Hall doors flung open and four figures stood in the frame. . . .

~*~*~

A/N 1st off..I know that if you get hit by the Avada Kadavera spell, you die instantly, but since Hermione did it to save someone, she slowly died..make sense? Hope so, lol. 2nd off, Where it says "Sweet rapture life", it's suppose to be "Sweet rapture light" Thought it would make more sense with life than light. Some of that stuff was gooey, tho, lol. 3rd, 'member the muggles? Well, they're under his control, so they don't know what they're doing. Oh, and the name of this chappy is the name of the song by Evanescence. AND THANKS SNOWPIXIE FOR AN IDEA!! I'm not gonna say anything..just wait 4 the next chapter! PLZ REVIEW!! AND THANKS TO THOSE WHO DID!
