He pointed his wand at Hermione and said"AVADRA KEDAVRA"Hermione froze to the spot and her life flashed before her eyes,she waited for death to stike her but it never came.Lupin had taken all of his strength and jumped infront of Hermione and took the curse instead of her.He fell to the ground just as Ron had exactly 5 months ago and he was dead. Now not only was Sirius,Ron and Hedwig dead but Lupin was too.'Wait a minute' thought Harry 'Now that Lupin's dead I have no more connection to my father or the marauders' He was in totally angry so he decided to banish Voldemort from Diagon alley ,the cemetery and the leaky cauldron Forever."bano voldemort from diagon Alley!"he yelled the incantation.Hermione was so greatfull to Lupin and she prayed that he would join his friends in the afterlife 'please oh please let him be O.K. god, please he sacrificed himself for me'she thought and although her prayer

wasn't said it was heard by the world.They went back to the leaky cauldron all sad and depressed.Later that night harry stayed up most the early hours of the morning thinking about the chain of deaths :Ron(his best friend),Hedwig(the closest animal ever to him) and then Lupin(the last remaining marauder ,who wasn't evil).Who would be next ? He then realized that Voldemort had attacked everyone he was close to and the only PERSON he had left was HERMIONE!!!!! 'oh no ' he thought 'hermione's next what do i do to protect her?' he thought and thought some more the next day,they took the portkey back to Hogwarts.When they were each in their own private dorms harry finally made up his mind .He ended up going downstairs, he found hermione there already reading a book .'just like her'he thought althought when he neared her he was surprised to see that she was crying not actually reading ,he figured it wasn't a good time to put his plan into action so he decided to calm her down."are you O.K?"he asked"No harry I'm not Lupin sacrificed himself for me and I'm not even that important*sniff*"she responded "Of course your important enough "he said pulling her into his arms ,he loved the way she fit perfectly into his arms."All your friends would miss you!!!what about Ginny you can't leave her now .she looks up to you,she sees you as a friend and a sister" he told her sweetly'won't you miss me' she thought "and much more people will too, me included"he continued "thanks harry but i really can't beleive i got so close to dying again" "don't worry I'm doing everything I can to protect you" he said "I'm going down to lunch bye hermione"he finished and left."why won't he kiss me?even tell me he loves me"she said quietly when he was gone.Harry was on his way to the great hall when he stoped dead in his tracks,he was probably gonna hurt her more taking his time like this .'Action must be taken' he thought

and went running up the stairs and hallways to Gryffindor tower .

Upon arriving he knew he was just in time she was about to leave to go to the common room for all gryffindor common room."wait hermione I have to talk to you"he said panting slightly"please sit down" "alright Harry calm down"she said sitting on the sofa in their private prefect common room."what's so important?"she asked nicely "just that I have to protect you""yes i know bu-"she was cut off by him starting again "please don't interrupt me please""ok" "like i was saying i have to protect you and the only way I think I can do that is to not be so near you"he paused trying to figure out where to go on from here "Harry what are you saying?" "I'm saying that Voldemort's Killing everyone near me so if I'm near you ,you'll die .I can live knowing that you hate me ,i can live knowing you can't be seen with me but I'll never be able to live if your dead 'cause of me"he said with a little difficulty "harry are you saying you wanna break up with me? 'cause if you are i'm not falling for it. You say you wanna protect me but you know very well that your hurting me right now.and if you need to protect me so much then do it be with me at every possible moment and if he comes battle him,i know you can !your the boy who lived if there's anything that can protect me it's you!"she said matter-of-factly"Hermione it's hard enough already with out you-"he was cut off by more loud speaking from hermione "well it can't hurt you much if you're doing it" "it is 'cause i still really love you" "yeah well you've helped me to escape him before and you've escaped from him already like what 7 times now?" "I'm just doing what I feel will help your protection." "so you're serious you want to break up ?" "i don't want to I think I have to" "Fine I'll wait for you"" you Hopefully won't have to wait for long.I'll always love you hermione" "right G'bye Harry "she said as she kissed his cheek and left up the stairs to her own dorm.'Great going Potter 'a voice said in his head 'you just lost the last good thing in your life'

The next few days they didn't speak and they both ,although trying to hide it,were moping around in classes and hallways. Harry was going to sleep and he was thinking about Ron

"what would you say if you were here mate???"he asked under his breath.he then fell into a very heavy sleep inturrupted by a most wonderfull dream.

~~~~~~IN THE DREAM~~~~~

Everything was black ,Harry feared another Voldemort attack but what he got instead was much better he suddenly found himself face to face with none other then his best-friend,Ron,owl,hedwig,godfather,Sirius,father,James,mother,Lily and all of their friend ,Remus Lupin.

"Hey what are all of you doing here?"he asked to them

"were here to answer your question to Ron"answered his mother

"my question?"he asked "yes the one about 'what would he say'"she answered "oh alright"he said.

Suddenly chairs popped out of nowhere and they all sat down.

Ron began to speak "I just wanted to tell you your bloody stupid mate ,what were you thinking??" he said "I was just thinkng of her protection"he answered honestly "well you thought wrong ,we've been visiting her everynight for two weeks and ever since you broke her heart she's been sobbing through her dreams."answered Sirius and Ron almost at the same time."Sorry, bet she hates me now though"he said "your so bloody naive"said Ron"she will never hate you she wont ever get over you it's actual love this time"said his mother sweetly "true love"James finished

for her "your a lucky man son ,it took me until seventh year to get your mom here"he finished putting his arm around Lily. "Listen Harry I hope you can deal with us all leaving like this but you have to fight!"Sirius jumped into the convorsation."I really missed you all ,Really but how do I know this isn't a trick from Voldemort?" he asked remembering hid 5th year "ask Hermione ,Voldemort has no control over her so it is us ,ask her at the same time your begging for forgiveness"joked Ron "I will"assured Harry."Bloody hell Harry your about to wake up, bye now"Ron said to Harry and the all hugged him in turn and he felt himself waking up

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~end of dream~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Goodbye ,I'll miss you all"he was saying as he sat bolt upright in his bed.'just a dream' he thought 'no matter i'll take their advice' he got up and got ready for class.

He met Hermione halfway down the hall and ran to catch up with her."'Moine wait!!!!" he yelled "WAIT!!!" "ok ok "he caught up to her and took her shoulder."I have to ask you something but it's gonna sound funny so don't laugh" "I won't" "ok well has Ron,Hedwig,lupin and my parents along with Sirius been in your dreams ,'cause they were in mine and ..." he trailled off and awaited her answer with patience "yes"she said"yeah they all have been in my dreams talking to me" So as they walked to breakfast harry was mustering his courage and finaly he had it"Hermione I'm sorry about breaking your heart I feel really bad,Do you forgive me??" he asked "Yeah it's ok I forgive you now ,it was just hard to see your point of view then" "well I'd like to fix it ,will you be my girlfriend??"he stood there waiting her answer which seemed like it would never come.
