Hermione awoke with her arm around Harry and dried up tears covering her face. She was startled to see that Harry had his left arm around her. "Harry? Are you awake?" He slowly opened his eyes, "Hermione?" he said weakly, "I-I thought that was you..." then he tried to get up, but Hermione pushed him back down lightly. "No. Just lay down, you need your rest. What hurts?" Harry lay back down and looked up at her. "My arm hurts like hell, my chest hurts more, and I have a pain..." While listening, Hermione picked up Harry's glasses and pointed her wand at it, "Oculus Repairo." And they were fixed instantly.

"Where's your pain?" Hermione asked putting Harry's glasses on him. Harry pointed next to his chest and said, "My heart...I imagined I wouldn't see you again..."a silent tear rolled down his cheek. Hermione embraced him as tears streamed down her face. "Harry? I have to tell you something...this is gonna be hard to say...I love you....I always have." Harry smiled and nodded. "I know...I saw you in charms last year writing my name over and over on a roll of parchment..." Hermione went scarlet and Harry sat up. This time Hermione let him as she stared deep into his eyes and he did the same.

"And, you know what? "Harry said as they both leaned towards each other and kissed. It was a pleasant experience for the young witch and wizard. It seemed to last forever until they heard a twig snap nearby. They both unglued their lips and pulled their wands out pointing them in the direction of the noise. Ron's head popped out from behind a tree. "Harry? Hermione?" "Ron!" Hermione helped Harry to his feet. Ron yelled over his shoulder, "HEY THEY'RE OVER HERE!!" and Ginny, Neville, Cho, and Luna came jogging up to them. "What happened Harry? Are you ok? And...and why are you wearing lip gloss?" After looking from Harry to Hermione and back, Ron said, "Ooh, so that's why you went to find Harry isn't it Hermione?" and he grinned as he blushed again. They went back to the castle together and Ron said, "McGonagall said that we couldn't go looking for you, but Dumbledore told us in private that we could." Realizing he was talking too much, Ron shut up. And(as a request from one of my reviewers) they lived happily throughout the rest of their school years.

Harry grew up to be a famous and great auror.

Hermione works in the Ministry of Magic in the department of mysteries.

Ron ended up working in his brothers' joke shop, "The Weasly Wizard Weezes".
