If Only
A/N: Wheeee! So many reviews! Thanks so much! Sorry I took so long but I was trying to decide the ending. This will be the last chapter folks. Afraid you might not like the ending, give it a chance anyway, ok? Enjoy!
Five tiny fingers clasped around a longer one. A smile spread across Hermione's face as she played with her year old daughter.
Terah Leigh's nose and eyes were identical to her father's, uniquely sharp. She had her mother's smile and soft tresses. Apparently, she had been the worst in the nursery. The nurses had told Hermione that she was a leader, making the rest of the nursery cry with just a little sob. Terah had spent her whole stay at the hospital in her mother's care.
Flashback
"Don't 'but, Mia' me! I carried this baby for nine months, the baby's name is Terah Leigh!" Hermione cried as she took in deep breaths.
"You're in labour, Honey. Can two of you talk about this later?" came the soft voice of Mrs. Granger, hoping to calm her down.
"No, we cannot! I'm not going to let this go until he agrees our daughter's name will be Terah Leigh!"
Her husband leaned down kissed her forehead and kept silent as he followed Hermione, who was being wheeled into the delivery room.
End Flashback
She sighed and smiled as she recalled Remus' confession to her at Hogwarts, one of her happy memories. She had been so relieved, yet so nervous.
Just then, the lock of the front door clicked. Terah's eyes lit up and she walked to the door, using a wall as support. She reached out her arms to her father for him to carry her and giggled when he swung her up into the air and carried her on his hip.
"I wish you would be more careful with her. She's only a baby, if you haven't noticed yet," she scolded while embracing her husband into a tight hug. "I missed you."
"C'mon Mia. You know Ti's strong. I missed you too," breathing in the scent of her hair.
"No matter how strong she is, she's still so tiny. You have to be careful with her, Draco."
Flashback
She leaned in closer and her eyes fluttered shut. Remus placed a hand on her shoulder to stop her.
"Hermione . . . I . . . " He started, "It. . . I guess it would never work out you know. You and me, the age gap between us is so big and I'm you Professor and you're my student. No one would accept us being together." He said quietly, hoping that the fact she couldn't hear him loud and clear would soften the blow.
"I understand, Professor. I apologize. I'd better get on my way then."
End Flashback
Hermione blinked back a stray teardrop as the memories came flooding back to her. She sat in bed after dinner and clutched the yellowed photograph in her hands.
"If only you had seen it before graduation. Before he'd proposed."
Flashback
They only had been dating for a year but they both felt deeply for each other. It was graduation and he had proposed. She had accepted. Everyone has accepted them as an item, except maybe those who didn't know, Remus Lupin was one.
"Hermione, now that your graduating, you know. I was thinking, I've never felt like this about anyone before you. I really like you. Maybe we could go out now."
"Oh, I suppose you didn't hear. Actually, I'm already engaged."
She'd never forget how hurt he looked that day.
End Flashback
"I hate to see you this way, Remus. Hate to know that I was the one who made you this way. I just don't feel for you anymore."
She told this to no one every single night.
No one would know.
But sometimes, she did hope that things would change.
If only, if only he knew.
A/N: This is pure bullshit. I dunno what to say. Really, it is bad. Flame me all you want, I can agree with anything you say. If you've stayed with me, thank you so much. Just review, flame, whatever. Yes, this is the end. Maybe I'll write another RL/HG someday. I just couldn't actually see them getting married and living fairytale like, not really interesting. Had to have a twist somewhere, even if it was crap.
