Disclaimer: Only J.K.R. owns the Harry Potter characters. Sadly, I only own
Kendra.
A/N: I'm having difficulties writing so bare with me. I also have to admit to a small error on my part. After re-reading the fifth book, I realized that after going to the ministry, there was only a week until the end of the term. So lets all pretend that that's how it was written. It sort of changes some things I was going to do, but not a lot so it's all good. Colleen, I don't know how you did it, but you figured it out. (BAKA!!) I hope I haven't forgotten anything. If I have then it'll be at the end.
Ch. 11 Sweet Misery
Kendra sat in front of the school, and looked out at the grounds for the last time. Once again she felt the presence of another. She thought it was Harry, but when she looked up it was Ron. "Ron! Hey, what's up?"
"Alright there Kendra? Just thought I'd keep you company."
"Thanks." Ron sat next to her and they gazed and the grounds together, "I'm really going to miss it here."
"I think you mean you're going to miss someone." Rom put emphasis on the last word.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Kendra said smiling.
"Its Harry. I know that look. I used to use it on Hermione."
"Ron, I've known the ins and outs of Harry's mind since he was eleven. I can't not care about him. In some ways I know him more than you do Ron. No, I might not know what he has for breakfast every morning, but I know how he feels about things." Kendra sighed. "I wish I could have helped him more."
"You did more than you'll ever know Kendra." Ron said truthfully.
"Awwww . . . is Ronnikins gonna miss Kendra?" Kendra said in a baby voice, pinching Ron's cheek like an aunt would pinch a nephew.
"Gerroff." Ron said laughing. Kendra let go and smiled. This was the way life should be. No one should ever be sad. "But you're right. We're all going to miss you. I can't believe you're leaving today."
"Me neither. But I miss home. I like it here, but I know I don't belong."
"Well Kendra I wish you the best of luck in all that you do." Ron smiled at her and left her to contemplate life.
Later that day, Kendra entered the Great Hall. She was about to leave for home. They were all waiting for her. "It's time to say good-bye Kendra." Dumbledore looked down on her and stuck out his hand for her to shake.
"It was a pleasure meeting you Professor. I will truly never forget your wisdom." Kendra said.
"I don't think anyone here will have a problem remembering you. You are one of a kind." Dumbledore replied.
Kendra turned to see Ginny. "I wish you could stay for the feast tonight. It's only a few more hours." She pleaded.
"Oh Ginny, the more I wait the harder it is to leave . . . I'm going to miss you Ginny." Kendra said.
"And I you." They embraced each other for a moment before breaking apart. Then Kendra looked to Hermione.
"I'm glad I finally know just how bushy your hair is Hermione." Kendra joked.
"Ha, Ha. Very funny." Hermione smiled and they hugged. After a few seconds Kendra could feel Hermione shaking. She was crying.
"You're just making this harder for me Hermione." Kendra said seriously.
"B-but I-I'm g-g-going to miss you so much!" Hermione wailed.
"And to think, you didn't like me when I first got here." Kendra tried to brighten the mood. Hermione laughed.
"Don't I get a good-bye?" Ron asked. He was standing next to Hermione. Kendra turned to him.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm coming." She smiled at Hermione one last time and looked back at Ron. "Take care of your self Ron. And if you hurt Hermione I'll be sure to write the author and make my ghost haunt you." Ron laughed heartily. Kendra stood up on her tiptoes and gave him a friendly hug.
Then she faced the one person she truly dreaded to say good-bye to. Harry looked into her eyes. She smiled at him and gave him a heartwarming hug. "'Bye Harry." She was about to turn to go when Harry held her hands and she looked back at him.
"Kendra please . . . Just tell me one thing. Do you- do you have feelings for me?"
Kendra's only reply was leaning forward and placing her lips upon his. It was neither passionate nor intimate. But it said all the things that were left unsaid. Kendra leaned back and was about to go once again, but Harry again pulled her back. "Then stay."
"If I didn't love you I would stay." Kendra paused a moment to let this statement sink in. "I'm not real to you and you're not real to me. I can touch you," Kendra gently placed a hand on his face and then pulled away, "But for all these years, all you've been was a character in a book. I'll always be here. In your heart." Kendra tenderly pulled away, and turned toward the couple that were Ron and Hermione. "I'm ready." Kendra's head was spinning. Her heart was torn between worlds, but she knew she needed to go home.
Hermione and Ron turned to each other and kissed. Kendra felt the light hit her. Harry's world began to fade. She saw Ginny take Harry's hand in a comforting manner. Kendra smiled. This was the way life should be.
The last thing Kendra saw was Hermione and Ron. Then there was nothing but light. It seemed like it stayed that way for hours, but Kendra knew it was not more than a minute. Then Kendra felt like she was flying backwards. Soon she saw the pages fly past, just as they had done before. Kendra was going home.
A/N: So how was that? Well the story is done, but I'll be writing an epilogue to wrap things up. All I need from you is to tell me if you want to know about Harry and the gang first, or if you want to know what happens to Kendra. Honestly it would be easier to do Harry first, but I want to give the readers what they want. And remember, it will be LONG!
I would also like to mention another disclaimer that I never thought of before. Two of my chapter names are song titles, "Sweet Misery" and "Where did I go right?" I do not own either song. I do like them though.
