"Miss Granger, are you sure about this?" Professor Dumbledore asked.
Hermione nodded.
"I've created too much trouble around here and I'm not sure I'm that good a teacher." She faked a laugh.
"Well, we're going to miss you, Miss Granger. When will you be leaving?"
"As soon as possible, maybe tomorrow night." Hermione answered.
" Well, I'll see what I can do."
"Thank you professor." Hermione replied. She stood up and walked out the door. Hermione walked quietly through the corridor until.
"Oof!!" Hermione and someone else clashed and fell to the floor.
"Oh I'm so sorry! Here let me help." She picked up some books and looked up. Their eyes met. Hermione gasped. Harry looked up at her. His face was pale and thin and he had a bandage round his head, yet his eyes shone a bright green colour. Hermione's body felt tense and handed him the books and helped him up.
"Hi Hermione." He said, " Are you alright?" "I'm fine, you?" Hermione replied. She dodged his eyes. "I'm alright."
"Listen, Harry. Thank you for that night. I really appreciate is and I. I.I gotta go." Hermione quickly ran away from Harry, tears streaming down her face. She still could hear Harry shout after her, his voice ringing in her ears. She turned into her office and bolted the door, and then leaned on the wall. She slided onto the floor and cried. Why did I run? She thought. Why?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Dear Diary,
The most surprising thing happened today In Diagon Alley. As I had been invited to the Hogwarts reunion Ball, I went to buy a new dress robe. That is where I met an old friend, Ginny Weasley.
Hermione ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "So, What have you been doing, Ginny?" Hermione asked.
"Just staying at home and helping out with the household. Mum needs a break." Ginny replied. "Honestly, Fred and George never grow up." Hermione stifled a laugh. "You?"
"I help out with the muggle-born children who need adjusting to the wizarding world. Just last week I met little Jeanie. 'Why is it called the wizarding world?' She asked me 'Why not the Witching world?' That girl can leave you thinking for a very long time." Both Ginny and Hermione burst into laughter.
"It was just last week when Ron proposed to Lavender Brown. It was surprising. Right after dinner. Even Harry was there." Hermione's spirits fell at the mention of Harry's name. Ginny seemed to sense something.
"He told me about when he was in Hogwarts. Why didn't you say something about the letter?"
"I.don't know. I was too scared.too afraid to do anything," her eyes slowly filled with tears. " I didn't know whether to believe or not. It sounded absurd, yet fell into place."
"Why? He loves you, and you love him, and you know it. The rescue that night was proof the he loves you. He never meant to hurt you on purpose. Remember, no matter what decision you make, I will always be supporting you." Hermione looked into Ginny's brown eyes and smiled. Her frown had turned into a smile once again.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The night of the ball, Hermione arrived, Dressed in robes of dark purple and magenta, her hair was bunned up but she had left a few curls out, tucking them behind her ears.
She stepped quietly into the large room. A chandelier hung from the ceiling, crested with crystals and diamonds. A large crowd filled the center of the room. Hermione looked at the familiar faces around her some turned their heads and smiled at her. She waved. Her mind wandered to the ball in her sixth year. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Harry and Hermione twirled around on the dance floor. Finally the slow dance came. The lights dimmer as Hermione leaned closer to Harry. His emerald-coloured eyes looked into her brown ones. They felt like they were the only ones on the dance floor. Neither let go and danced to whole night.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Suddenly, she saw a woman pushing through the crowd towards her, behind her followed a skinny tall man with flaming red hair, Lavender and Ron! She ran towards them and hugged them. They led her to a corner, where Parvati, Neville, Seamus, Fred and George, Ginny and many other people stood. She excitedly went to greet them. As she was heading for the drinks, she noticed a tall, skinny man standing at the edge. He had messy black and was dressed in a royal blue dress robe. As he turned, She noticed bright green eyes and a lightning bolt scar on his forehead. Hermione made his way to him.
"Hello Harry." Hermione greeted shyly. Harry looked up and smiled. "Can I talk to you in private, outside?" she asked. Harry nodded quietly and followed her to the exit. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Harry and Hermione walked silently by the edge of the lake, the moonlight made the lake shimmer and stars filled the night sky like a blanket.
"Hermione, I." Harry started.
"No. I have something to say, Harry. I believe you." Hermione said. "I know it was not your fault. I believe you."
"You do?"
"Yes. I did for sometime. And.I love you."
"You what?"
"I Love you, Harry." Hermione looked into Harry's eyes. She felt like she could cry any moment. But not tonight, She couldn't. Harry held onto Hermione. The stars seemed to shine brighter. She rested on his chest and he gently touches her shoulder. And as Hermione looked up at his eyes once more, She felt as if she was floating and.their lips met. Hermione's heart flipped as she held on tighter to Harry. They separated.
"This is the most magical night of my life," she thought, " And I never want it to end."
