Chapter 8: The Beginning
Hermione's eyes slowly fluttered open. Looking around the room, she realized that she was in the hospital wing. Looking to her left, she saw Ron, unconscious, Mira clutching his hand. Looking to her right, she saw Harry. He, too, was conscious. Ginny had a hand on his shoulder, and Dumbledore was talking quietly to him. His knees were drawn up, his hands gripping at his hair. Hermione gave a small, weak smile. Only Harry would feel awful about killing the most evil wizard that ever existed.
She did not see Draco. Panicking, she shot up, but then she saw a curtain partially blocking a bed on the other side. She saw Draco. She relaxed. His head was bandaged, and he had a scar across his cheek.
"Hermione. You awake?" came a voice. Harry's. Hermione, turned to him, and nodded, wincing as she did. Her head was awful. "You alright?" he asked. She shrugged. "Yeah. You?" He shrugged. "I guess." Ginny walked around Harry's bed and gave her a quick hug. Dumbledore smiled at her, his eyes twinkling. "Ronald may be asleep for a bit longer. He was hit by a very powerful curse." Harry groaned, and put his head in his hands. Hermione gave a small laugh, as Ginny wrapped her arms around Harry.
Hermione voiced her previous thoughts. "Only you would feel bad about ending the rein of the most evil wizard to ever exist, Harry." He shook his head. "I killed him. That makes me just as bad as him." Hermione shook her head. "You did it because you had to. You feel awful about it, but you had no other choice. That makes you very different from him, Harry." said Hermione softly. Harry nodded, and returned Ginny's hug. Dumbledore began to speak to Harry again. Hermione's eyes rested on Draco. He looked pretty bad. He was shifting slightly. He was alive. Smiling to herself, Hermione laid back on her pillows. She felt her eyes flutter shut as she drifted to sleep.

"Do you, Draco Malfoy, take Hermione Granger as your lawfully wedded wife?" "I do." "Do you, Hermione Granger, take Draco Malfoy as your lawfully wedded husband?" "I do." "Bring the rings." Harry handed Hermione's ring to Draco, who slipped it on Hermione's finger. "With this ring, I do the wed." Ginny gave Draco's ring to Hermione. "With this ring, I do the wed." Draco and Hermione smiled at each other. "By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you, wizard and wife. You may kiss the bride." Draco leaned over and kissed Hermione. The guests applauded. Hermione broke it off gently, and Draco took her arm, both of them smiling widely. They walked down the aisle, Harry and Ginny, the Best Man and Maid of Honor, following behind them. People threw flowers, and shot sparks with their wands as the happy couple walked down the aisle.
I won't tell you when our beloved characters died, how many children they had, or just who married who. I'll leave that up to you. I'll end this story here, with one thing. One fact, to alleviate your doubts.
And they lived happily ever after.
The End- or should I say the beginning?

Author's Note: *tears* I hope you guys liked the ending. I may do a sequel- but not until after I do books six and seven in the "Rise of an Enemy" universe. This has been one of my most successful fics, and I hope you enjoyed it.
All my love,
Merusa
