Last Chance - Chapter 1 By Dru
Three years after Hermione Granger left Hogwarts she was sitting on the couch of her house re-reading the letter she received in her sixth year and wondering if she's done the right thing going to the University of witchcraft and wizardry of Oxford, of course it isn't everyday a sixteen year old girl receives a letter saying that she's been invited to start college earlier because of her high wisdom in magic, but she still wasn't sure if she's done the right thing. The telephone rang.
" Hello, Hermione Granger speaking " she said absent-minded, still reading the letter.
"Hey 'Mione, drop that letter to talk to me! " the voice on the other side of the line said playfully. Hermione smiled and put down the letter
" Hey Liz, how did you know I was with the letter? "
" Because I can see you through your kitchen window " she girl on the line said. Hermione got up and went to the kitchen; she looked through that window and a smiling, black haired girl stand outside the house.
" Open the door, Hermione. It's damn freezing out here " said the girl.
Hermione laughed, went to the door and opened it. A cold wind blew from outside and Liz got in, closing the door behind her.
" I knew you are going to London just after you move in with Brendan " the black haired girl said hugging her friend. Hermione and the girl were aurors and Brendan was a friend of both of them.
" Yep, Brennan needs a hand with Dawn ( A/N Dawn is Brennan's daughter ) " Hermione said walking back to the couch, Liz followed her and they sat together.
" Do you think he'll do it? I mean after Majandra's death and all " ( A/N Majandra, obviously was Brendan's wife ) Liz said taking Hermione's letter and starting to read it.
" I don't know " Hermione said laying her head on her friend's shoulder.
The two girls stayed like that for a while, then Liz helped Hermione packing and they went to Brendan's apartment. A young man opened the door and smile to the girls as a small figure ran to Hermione opened arms. Hermione took the little girl up and smiled to Brennan.
" Needing a hand over here, pal ? " she said as they entered in the apartment. Brennan put Hermione's bags in one of the three rooms at the place and went back to the living room, where Liz played with the little Dawn and Hermione just sat on a chair next to the dining table. The young man walked to Hermione and sat down next to her.
" What's up sunshine? " he said, taking one of Hermione's hands in his.
" I took a case at London and I don't wanna go. Not after all these years " she said looking down to their hands.
" It's been three years Hermione. Nothing will change what happened " he said putting a finger under her chin and making her look up to him. Her eyes were full of tears.

( Sixth year )
Harry let go of Hermione and smiled sadly.
" You're not doing this because of Ron, are you? " he asked. The girl nodded negatively
" No " she smiled " It's because it's a great opportunity and neither you or him need me anymore, so I can move on with my life "
Harry shook his head
" I need you 'Mione " he said " Who will bug me about grades or homework or studies? Who will read at the bleachers of the quidditch field just to wait until I finish my training? Who will take care of me when I get sick?... Well, that one Madam Pomfrey can do... But in general, who will take care of me? " he said looking down at the girl.
" If you look around you'll find a redhead Weasley girl ready to do all that, you know? " Hermione said, smiling. Harry blushed and continued
" How about Ron? " Harry asked
" He can take care of himself too "
" He'll never find someone who loved him as much as you did "
Hermione smiled and blushed discreetly
" Was it so obvious? " she asked looking at the boy, who nodded and smile back
" You and Ron were the only people that didn't saw it " pause " He doesn't know what he's letting go. I know he'll regret this later " Harry said looking down at Hermione, whose face became serious and she suddenly became fascinated for her shoes.
" You... you didn't forget to tell him, did you? " Harry asked, recognizing her discomfort. The girl looked up disconcerted and nodded.
" I tried but he wouldn't listen to me. That's why I asked Lavender to give him a letter I wrote last night " she said.
" He'll loose it, Hermione. He'll completely freak out when he finds out " Harry said. The girl nodded again.
" I know, but I can't go on with this. One of us would have to make a move and I know that he wouldn't so I'm making mine " she said while hot tears streamed down her face freely. A couple of tears fell from Harry's eyes and joined Hermione's. They hugged and the train whistled. They looked to each other.
" What if we never see you again? " Harry asked, wiping his own tears away " I don't want to lose you "
Hermione smiled and reached out so she could touch the side of his face.
" You'll never lose me Harry. You're one of my best friends and I'm not going to war after all, I'm just going to college "
" One year and a half before we graduate at school, Hermione! " he said, while a new wave of tears rolled down his face and he wiped them away furiously. She hugged him again
" It'll be alright " she whispered. They let go and the train whistled one last time. Time to go.
" I love you Hermione Gwinevere Granger " Harry said as she took her bags and looked up
" I love you too Harry James Potter " she answered and got into the train.
The last time she heard Harry's voice was when he screamed her name at the platform while the train was leaving and she could swear she heard Ron's voice mixed with Harry's.

" I can't do that Brennan " Hermione said sobbing " I can't go back there "
Brennan looked over his two year old daughter that played happily with Liz and then looked back at Hermione.
" You will do it Hermione. I know you will " he said " And if anything happen you can call me and I'll be there before you can say quidditch "
She laughed and wiped her tears
" You'll go and you'll do what you have to do and you'll come back home, ok? " he said.
Hermione nodded and smiled.
The rest of the night was very peaceful. All them slept very well and woke up early. Hermione brought her bags to the living room and looked at Brennan who was sitting on the couch.
" Hey yourself " she said. The man jumped to his feet and put a hand on his chest
" Christ Hermione, you scared me to death " he said. Hermione smiled shyly and walked over to the guy.
" Next time I won't say goodbye then! " she said. Brennan's face got a sad expression
" Already going? " she nodded and hugged him
" Bye " she whispered and apparate before he could say anything...
*** A/N : So did you like it? Please review. And I'm really sorry about the grammar errors. I think that's it for the first chapter. Bye
