Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.

A/N: I'm not getting as many reviews as I would like, therefore I will not update again until I have gotten 10 more reviews.

A/N: For those of you who are wondering about the last chapter's name, I named it that because Hermione had forgiven Harry, but Harry couldn't forgive HIMSELF.

Chapter 24

Old Memories, and a New Year.

Hermione sat in the basement kitchen of Grimmuld Place, looking at a photo album. Colon, who was still camera crazy took pictures of everything he saw. She laughed at the thought of him. She flipped through the pages, remembering all the things that had happened over the past seven years, she would truly miss Hogwarts when school ended in a few months, that is if she even lived that long, with Voldemort on the loose there was no telling how much longer anyone would live. She thought of first meeting Harry and Ron on the Hogwarts Express, how Ron had insulted her, how they had saved her from the troll, how together they descended into the trapdoor, fought Devil's Snare, three headed dogs flying keys, and a giant chess set, how she, had wanted to go with Harry to face Voldemort, but he would not let her, how they faced spiders, giant snakes and tons of other dangerous things. She smiled and laid the album on the table, stood and walked to the door, she stopped, a few tears ran down her face, she wiped her eyes, and continued up the stairs to bed.

She slowly opened the bedroom door, she noticed the doors to the balcony were open.

"He must be out there stargazing again," Hermione said to herself. She undressed, put on her robe, and went outside to find Harry.

There he was sitting on the edge of the balcony wall, just like every night. He started doing this one week ago on Christmas night.

"Harry," said Hermione walking toward him. "Are you ok?" Harry turned

"You now what, I am," he said. Hermione smiled. Harry looked at his watch,

"Ten seconds to midnight," they began to countdown.

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Happy New Year!" Their lips met.

"Hermione," said Harry as they broke apart, "I love you, that's just it, I love you, and Voldemort is going to pay for all the innocent lives he took, I promise you,"

"I love you too," was all she said.

This is a short chapter,(SORRY), but I don't have much time to write.
