Back at Valgonda two months later

Hermione sat on her bed, her eyes red and puffy. There was a knock at the door. It was Sophie.

"Hermione, we all have to gather in the hall. There is going to be a special announcement." Sophie said. Hermione nodded. She knew it might be the return of the aurors, but there had been many announcements where Hermione got excited but her hopes were let down. She slowly made her way to the hall. When she arrived Professor Stubble was already halfway through his speech. Hermione took a seat next to Sophie. Professor Stubble continued with his speech.

"So, we have some sad and good news. The sad is some aurors that we sent off have died in battle, only five have survived. The good news is that those five have arrived victorious, we won the war!" Everyone cheered then the golden doors swung open. In walked one of the aurors, everyone cheered for him. The next three followed into a room full of loud applause. Alexis was one of them. Hermione noticed there was only one auror left and neither Harry nor Draco had returned. Then Professor Stubble stood up.

"And the auror who killed Lord Voldemort himself, Harry Potter!" Everyone cheered and screamed as Harry walked in. Hermione pushed her way to Harry and gave him a huge hug.

"Harry, where is he, where's Draco?" Hermione asked tears forming in her eyes.

"I'm sorry Hermione; he died battling against his father." Harry sadly replied. Hermione burst into tears. Her one true love was gone. Harry hugged her harder.

"It's alright Hermione, he died a hero." Harry added. Hermione nodded.

"He always was a hero to me" she said she turned around to head back up to her room when Harry stopped her.

"Don't go, please stay, I've missed you so much" Harry begged. Hermione nodded and took a seat next to him.

"We are all very, very proud of you. You are al heroes, now we shall pay some respects to those that did not make it. As I call out there names please say a prayer for them." Professor Stubble stood up and looked at the list.

"John Daniels, Judy Lewis, Anna Sol, Scott Carpel and Draco Malfoy." Professor Stubble wiped away a tear. "Is there anyone who would like to say something to these brave people?" Hermione raised her hand and stood up.

"I've known Draco Malfoy since my first year at Hogwarts. He was pretty mean when I first met him, always calling me a mudblood, but since we have been at Valgonda he has been one of the nicest people I've ever met. I loved him and he loved me. Now he is gone and I just want to say that he was my only love and I will never forget him" Hermione sat down just as she burst into tears. She felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around and saw the Ron, to was crying.

"It's alright Hermione" he said as he hugged her.

"You may all go back to your dormitories, but, tomorrow night there will be a celebration ball. Not everyone has to come, if you think you would prefer not to that is fine." Professor Stubble looked at all the sad faces. Hermione got up with Harry and Ron and head to the dormitories.

"Did she make it?" Harry asked.

"Yeah mate, Alexis came back" Ron smiled. Harry couldn't help but smile. He looked around and saw her coming towards him.

"Excuse me guys" Harry said as he headed off towards Alexis. Ron turned to Hermione.

"You alright?" he asked. Hermione nodded, her mouth was so dry she couldn't speak. They finally arrived to their dormitories. Ron sadi good night to Hermione and went into his. Hermione sat on her bed and laid awake all night crying.
