Chapter 4
A week after he left she was still in pain. It cut like a thousand knives peircing her skin. Harry leaving was just too much for Hermione tot take. Within the hour of his departure, she hadn't stopped crying. If you ever saw her, her eyes were red and puffy but the tears weren't able to come anymore. She had cried her self dry. Hermione had kept his picture with her at all times. She knew she could lose him in this battle, and that was what scared her. Either him or Voldemort had to die, and she was afriaid of what she would have to do with out him.
Many times during the week people would knock on my door to check on her. She would say a simple 'fine' and then bury her face back into her pillow. Lavender and Ginny came in from time to time and they would talk. Both girls also had the red puffy eyes, but they all seemed to try and stay calm for eachother's sake.
Term started tomorrow and they knew they would be kept busy with studying. After the other two girls left, Hermione began to re-organize her books and set out her uniform.
That night, she went to dinner at the Great Hall. This was the first time in a week, many people had seen their Head Girl . Many asked if she was okay, and if she had heard from Harry. She only smiled at them or nod her head.
Sitting eating dinner, Hermione noticed that the school had been well kept. The staff table did look quite empty and the few students who stayed during Hols seems very quiet during hte meal. Ginny had come down to dinner that night as well and sat next to Hermione. They ate a quiet dinner before heading up to Hermione's room.
Ginny was playing with Hermione's hair whe they heard a tapping at the window. Looking out they saw two owls; a snowy white one, and a large black one hovering at the window.
Hermione ran to the window and opened it as the owls flew it. Hedgwig held out his leg infront of Hermione. The black owl seemed to recognize Ginny as he flew to her and nipped at her hair. Ginny smiled.
"Hello Artemis." she said as she took the letter off of his leg.
On Hermione's enevlope was written
Mrs. Soon-To-Be-Potter
In a messy writting.
Hermione already had tears in her eyes. She sat on her bead and opened the letter.
Hermione,
As the days continue to pass by and the final battle is comming closer each day my heart aches for you. Your picture is by my saide every night, constantly reminding me of my love for you and how much I miss you. I can only look forward to see you, holding you in my arms, and making you smile. I need you Hermione, you complete me.
Hermion'es tears were flowing down her cheek. She looked up and saw that Ginny also was crying. She gave her sympathetic smile and continued to read.
Ron, Draco, Sirius, and Dumbledore are all doing fine. Remus was hurt in a small duel the other night but is recovering just fine.
There is a spell to defeat the Dark Lord. I can't say much about it here incase this goes astray. I will only tell you that it require a virgin, and someone who lost thier virginity to the one they love. Therefore Draco has volunteered to be the virgin, Ron was quiet happy to hear this and I of course will be the one who lost their virginity to the one they love.. You.
Hermione's face had fallen when she read the above paragraph. Harry and Draco were going to being Voldemort down. She was so worried something would go wrong, and they would both be hurt... or even worse. She knew Harry had to be apart of the final spell that was cast, but knowing they found the spell seemed to bring so much more worry into her.
The battle will be over soon. I don't know how long, Draco and I have to work on a few things before we can cast the spell. I won't tell you what but you and Ginny really have to have positive thoughts. Don't forget about us, were going to need your love and support. I will come hope soon I promise.
I know how much this is to take in, but I promise to be carefeul and I will drag everyone home with me. I miss you so much, I hope you know that. You are everything to me. You have me my life back, but it doesn't work without you in it. And I mean every word of that.
Please let Ginny and Lavender know that everyone is safe, im sure they have recieved their own letters by now. I miss you like crazy Hermione. I love you with all my heart, always and forever. I will be home soon..
Love Always, Harry
Hermione had steady tears flowing down her face. God she missed him.

Ginny and Hermone looked at eachother with swollen, bloodshot eyes. Ginny ran up to Hermione and they embraced eachother tightly. They stayed like that for quite a while. When they broke apart there was a soft knock on Hermione's door.
"Hermione, Its Lavender. May I come in?"
When Hermione opened the door, she saw Lavender also had red, puffy, bloodshot eyes. In her head she held a letter from Ron. She walked up to her and held her tightly. and then they sat in silence.
"Tomorrow terms starts again, you guys should probably get some sleep." Hermione said quietly.
Ginny nodded and hugged both girls before leaving. Lavender embraced Hermione and thens he too left the room.
As soon as the two other gilrd left, Hermione began to cry even harder. She threw all of her things off of her bed and screamed in fury.
"DAMN YOU VOLDEMORT!!!! I HATE YOU, DAMN YOU TO HELL!!" She screamed.
She threw herself onto her bed and cried into her pillow.
She layed there until sleep finally took her away.

The next morning students were arriving. Hermione woke up early, and saw all of her things scattered around her room. Her favorite candle layed broken on the floor, and Harry's note was at the bottom of her bed. She was glad to know he was still alive.
She got out of bed and went to take a shower. She let a small tear drop at the sight of his bath things but dismissed the thought and turned of the water.
After she showered she walked back into her room and noticed for the first time that Hedgwig and Artemis were still in her room. She stroked both owls gently as they nipped at her fingers effectionally. She smiled at then went to her closet to get dressed.
"I'll bring some food for you later." She said as she walked out of the hall way and closed the door.

Hermione's day dragged by. She wasn't used to not having Harry or Ron in her classes. She could tell a lot of the students missed having those who went to war in class jsut by seeing them eyeing the empty desks that the student usually sat in.
Colin Creevy had made a picture college of all of the students and professors who had left and hung it in the Great Hall. There were picutres of Dumbledore giving a speech, a picture of Remus Lupin when he taught them back in thrid year. Then there was a picture of Sirius embracing Harry right after his name had been cleared. Hermione's favorite pictures were the ones of Harry and herself and Ron. There were many of the 3 of them from previous years. Somehow Colin had gotten a picutre from the ball when Harry had purposed. Then there were many picutre of Draco and Ginny by the lake or sitting in the astronomy tower. There was one of Ron and Lavender snogging under the tree. Which when ever Hermione looked at it, she laughed. At the bottom of the college were the words" Be Sage" and then it had all of the names of those who had left. It was a beautiful college, and Hermione was very thankful of Colin when she saw it.
A week after he left she was still in pain. It cut like a thousand knives peircing her skin. Harry leaving was just too much for Hermione tot take. Within the hour of his departure, she hadn't stopped crying. If you ever saw her, her eyes were red and puffy but the tears weren't able to come anymore. She had cried her self dry.
