------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was quarter to nine in the evening; Harry, Ron, and Draco are sitting on the balcony. The three of them are secretly thinking of the same girl.

"I never thought about her having pregnancy." Ron said, gazing at the heavens above.

"Sorry for not telling you, Ron. It's hermione who doesn't want to let you know." Harry said. He felt a little guilty because there was a time he doesn't want to let Ron know; and it's all because of his selfishness.

Ron looked at Harry for a moment. He wanted to thank Harry for taking care of Hermione. For doing all the responsibilities that are suppose to be his. But he will not do that mistake again, he still loves Hermione and he's going to do everything he can to fulfill all his wrong doings.

"I'm the one who should apologize, mate. If it weren't for me, things would have never gone this worse. I should have listened to you that day at the coffee shop and I'm so stupid that I didn't."

Draco on the other hand is not listening to them. He is worried about hermione that he couldn't stop thinking about her. He knows that Ron and hermione will be back together now because of their child and there is no point on trying to have her. He should not interfere now; he knows better not to things worse. And what can he only do for now is just to be supportive as a friend.

This is what Harry is afraid of; the time that Ron will realize that he should go back to hermione. This time, he lost his whole hope of being with Hermione and that's what he hated about his life. For him, life is nothing if hermione will never be with him. He loves her more than his life and he would do anything for her. But there's nothing he can do. Ron has more of the authority to have Hermione.

--

Hermione woke up. She looked around her room. She felt home and the feeling of comfortableness poured inside her. She glanced at the table clock beside her; it's 1:30 in the morning. She sighed for a moment and felt tired of lying down so she sat up slowly then got out from her bed. She knows that this is not good for her condition but lying down would only make her feel even more ill and sick. She sat n the window edge, gazing her eyes at the balcony. She wondered why her three friends are still up in this kind of night. She was disappointed to see Draco and Ron because she knew that they knew of her pregnancy. But a part of her felt happy because of the concern and the care that they showed. And she appreciated it whole-heartedly. She looked at Ron's face, full of determination. At Draco, his face shows that he's thinking seriously. Then at Harry, she smiled.

Flash back

It was just then after Hermione and Ron broke up. Both are drained because of the sadness they felt. But they knew that it is for the best, and they are both tired of lying to Harry who's also the main reason of Hermione why she broke up with Ron.

From the very minute that Harry agreed to help Ron to court her, she wished that he didn't. She doesn't want to be with Ron. She doesn't love Ron but Harry.

Ron and Hermione are at the burrow spending their Semester break. Both of them are still on the pretending thing about their relationship.

"I'm tired of this, Ron. We can't go on like this." Hermione said.

"I know, you're not the only one who's tired. Actually, I'm sick about doing this. I don't want to spend my life with a person who lies about loving me." Ron said coldly.

"Ron..." Hermione whispered. Her voice sounded with a mixture of hurt and guilt.

"Tomorrow, we're going to tell my family about this." Ron interrupted, trying to be as mellow as he can. He wanted to shout out loud and release the stab of pain in his heart, but he knows better than doing this.

"What about Harry?" Asked Hermione

"We'll tell him at the reunion."

Both of them fell silent for a moment. It's like an unending silence. Ron wanted to know the reason of Hermione for not loving him and this is what exactly Hermione is afraid of, the time that she has to tell Ron that Harry is the one she loves and not he.

"I'm just wondering if you could tell me the reason of---" Hermione cut him off.

"I'm going to bed now." Hermione said while standing up from the chair she was sitting on. She ws about to leave the living room when a very sharp voice entered her ears.

"No! Look 'Mione, I want to clear up things between us and its going to happen now." Ron snapped sharply. Hermione trembled on Ron's harsh voice. She's afraid. Fears are building up inside her.

"Harry…" Hermione said, her voice trembling.

"What about him?" Asked Ron, without looking at hermione.

"I love Harry, Ron…not you…"

End of Flashback…

--

The next morning all of them gathered in Hermione's room after breakfast. They have to talk about things that are in relation to Hermione's condition and to the baby.

"Are we all here?" Asked Mr. Granger. There was a collective answer of yes.

"Very well then, Hermione wants to tell us something, I hope that we all listen…Hermione, dear?" Mrs. Granger finished saying. She then turned her gaze to Hermione who's lying on the bed, and the girl nodded for reply.

"Thank you mom, so…uhmm…I just want to thank you all for being here and supporting me all the way. Especially you, Harry---The dark haired boy smiled---Thank you very much. You're always there for me since the very start and I appreciate that, and I'm sure my baby will be glad to have you as his or her uncle." Hermione Paused. Ron on the other hand, felt a little jealous. He can sense that hermione still loves Harry after all this time. Again, the question that he asked years ago came back to him…"Why Harry and not me?"

"Ron…---Ron came to his senses at once and smiled weakly---thank you for being here, And you too, Draco, I appreciate all what you've done for me, and the comfort that you gave me at the reunion." Draco nodded simply while ginger-haired boy felt a tinge of guilt.

"Mom, dad…---Mr. Granger put her right arm around Mrs. Granger, they both smiled at their daughter. But before Hermione could continue, a soft pain strucked at her. She let out a scream for the pain is becoming worse and worse. A single though then invaded her whole mind, the thought that she's going die.

Everyone around her panicked, at once, Mr. Granger immediately got out from the house and started the engine. Mrs. Granger rushed outside the room and collected all the things that are needed. Draco, supported by Harry and Ron, picked Hermione up from her bed and gently put her at the back seat of the car with Mr. Granger on the driver's seat, his wife on the passenger seat. The three of them went ahead to the hospital while the three guys followed with a cab.

Sweat is covering hermione's entire face. Fears and worries are now invading her little heart that seems to stop it from beating. Hermione is scared. This is her first time to give birth to a baby and it's definitely driving her crazy. It's terrifying. The pain…the worries…the fears.

She is now being pushed to the delivery room. Doctors around her, all looking at her worriedly because it seems that not so long, hermione will faint and will delay the delivery of the baby, which is extremely dangerous.

Hours passed, a doctor came out from the delivery room. Harry approached him since Mr. And Mrs. Granger went back to their house to get some things. Ron is sitting on one of the benches, sleeping while Draco went to the cafeteria at the ground floor to buy them lunch.

"Are you the husband?" Asked the doctor after removing his mask.

Harry looked at Ron for a moment but he didn't dared to wake him up, so he said yes. The doctor led him into the chapel and they sat on one of the pews.

"Mr. err…"

"Mr. Potter, sir…" Harry said flatly.

"Oh, yes… Mr. Potter, I have some things to tell you. It both concerns your wife and your daughter."

"Daughter?"

"Oh yes…your baby is a girl. A very healthy baby girl."—The doctor smiled but only a few moments and it faded. —"We have discovered something very serious regarding your wife's health. She's experiencing a severe heart disease. It seems that she is in such a depressing state that led her heart to work slowly" Harry's heart started to beat so fast. He realized that Hermione has not recovered yet from the things that happened to her and Ron.

"What do we do now, sir?" Asked Harry, his face pleading, wishing that there's something they could do.

"I'm afraid there's nothing we could do about it, Mr. Potter. Let's just try not to depress or pressure her. And hope for a miracle." The doctor sighed for a moment. Harry looked at the doctor, waiting for him to continue.

"I'm going to be honest with you. Her life is running short." This time, Harry's heart stopped. It seems that someone had squeezed it to stop it from beating. He can't breath. He's gasping for breath.

---------------------------------

When I think back

On these times

And the dreams

We left behind

I'll be glad 'cause

I was blessed to get

To have you in my life

When I look back

On these days

I'll look and see your face

You were right there for me

---------------------------------

"Mr. Potter…Mr. Potter! Are you ok?!" The doctor said, his mind troubled.

"Yes, I'm fine…" Harry managed to say. Harry walked silently at the corridors of the hospital, thinking seriously. 'What now? What will happen next? How will I tell this to Ron, to Draco? Worse, to her parents?!' Harry thought. He can't believe that this is going to happen to hermione. What will he do?

2 days after, hermione is doing fine but she still needs to stay in the hospital to rest and for the doctors to check her condition. People around her who doesn't know about her condition wondered why she has to stay, it was then when Harry decided to tell them.

"There's something you have to know." Harry started. They are all gathered in hermione's room. All of them looked at Harry with perplexed faces. "No one should tell this to Hermione…" he continued, glancing at the lady sleeping peacefully at the bed.

"Hermione is in a serious condition right now. Uh…uhmm… H-her life is r-run-ning s-short." Mrs. Granger gasped in an instant and led into a sob. Ron's astounded face showed the fear and hurt inside him. Draco was bewildered. Mr. Granger comforted Mrs. Granger, but deep inside him, he wanted to cry.

In my dreams

I'll always see your soul

Above the sky

In my heart

There always be a place

For you for all my life

I'll keep a part

Of you with me

And everywhere I am

There you'll be

"What do you mean?!" A trembling cry interrupted. They all turned they heads and saw Hermione, trying to sit up.

"Dear, don't. It's not good for you…" Cried Mrs. Granger, rushing towards her daughter.

"Harry, what do you mean my life is coming short?" Hermione asked, teary eyed. "Please be honest, Harry please!"

"M-mione…" Harry stuttered. Hermione fall on her knees on the floor, her hands covering her own face with flowing tears.

"Hermione, please go back to bed, this is not good for you." pleaded Harry, His voice is trembling with fear. Mrs. Granger and Ron tried to put her back to bed but she pushed them away.

"I can't die, Harry! Tell them I can't die! My baby needs me, Harry…I can't die…please tell them" her voice faded into a cry, Harry rushed towards her, wrapped his arms around her. "Hermione, listen to Harry…" Ron begged. Draco was speechless, but his eyes are now filled with hot tears. Harry fought back his own tears that are dying to run on his cheek. He wanted to be strong for hermione.

Well you showed me how it feels

To feel the sky

Within my reach

And I always

Will remember all

The strength you

Gave to me

Your love made me

Make it through

Oh, I owe so much to you

You were right there for me

"Harry…promise me you'll never leave me…promise me…" Cried hemione, burying her face on Harry's neck. "I promise hermione, I promise…I love you, don't you remember?" Harry said, pulling away and looked at hermione's eyes and wiped her tears with his hand.

"I love you too…I want to tell you that…"Hermione replied

'Cause I always saw in you

My light, my strength

And I want to thank you

Now for all the ways

You were right there for me

You were right there for me

For always

--------------------

It was a week after Hermione's death. She never woke up the next morning after the incident in the hospital. They buried her body in a private land that her parents owned. This land is suppose to be a gift for her when she's out of the hospital, but she never did.

People at hogwarts took this news as a shock. They never expected this to happen to their dearest Transfigurations professor. "I give you my sincerest condolence, Mr. And Mrs. Granger. Sorry about your daughter. Ms. Granger had always been good to us, especially to her students. They love her dearly, they wanted you to know that." Dumbledore said as they walk away from Hermione's tomb. The rest of the staff visited also. Hagrid cried endlessly.

------------------

Every now and then we find a special friend

Who never lets us down

Who understands it all

Reaches out each time you fall

You're the best friend that I've found

I know you can't stay

But a part of you will never ever go away

Your heart will stay

"Thank you professor…thank you for taking care of her and for being a part of her life." Mrs. Granger replied. Dumbledore nodded, his eyes twinkling showing the sadness the he feels at the moment.

Few feet away from them, Harry and Ron were also walking away from their dear best friend's tomb. Draco has already gone home to their manor and had been very kind to pay for all the finances in the hospital and for the burial. Harry and Ron are going back to work the next day.

"I should have told you this a long time ago, but it just didn't crossed my mind that time…---Harry listened---You Harry, not me, is whom Hermione's in love with back at hogwarts, and will forever be her love." Ron finished. Harry saw in Ron's eyes how sorry he was, and he understands. He never knew that Hermione felt the same way since the beginning. Now, he longs for her. He wanted to show his love for her, without doubts, without fears, without worries that no one will be hurt back. But it's too late, she's gone. If only he knew it before.

"Harry! Look out!" Those were the last word that Harry heard. A loud bang and a crash disturbed the streets. Harry was about to cross the street when a car hit him. People screaming. Mr. And Mrs. Granger, running towards Ron, looking abashed. Professor Dumbledore, shocked in the fullest. And Harry's life ended with a last gaze on the land where Hermione's body lays, longing for her. The loneliness he felt. The pain it brought.

I don't need eyes to see

The love you bring to me

No matter where I go

And I know that you'll be there

For ever more a part of me you're everywhere

I'll always care

And I'll be right behind your shoulder watching you

I'll be standing by your side in all you do

And I won't ever leave as long as you believe

You just believe...

5 years passed, Ron is now standing on the ground, his right hand holding a smaller hand of a girl with red hair, 5 years in age. Their gazes are fixed on Hermione's tomb.

"Is that mother?" Asked the girl, her voice so small.

"Yes, Lucila…it's your mother…" Ron smiled weakly. This is the first time for Ron to bring their daughter there. Ron's not ready yet to go back to that place since his best friend died and he never felt better.

"And that's uncle Harry, right?" She asked, pointing on another tomb beside Hermione's.

"Uhuh…your uncle Harry…"

"I wish they are here…I want to see them…I only see them in pictures" Lucila said witha pout.

Ron smiled weakly "So do I… I miss them so much…"

They stood there for a few moments more. "Let's go now, papa…we're still going to grandpa and grandma, aren't we?" Ron nodded. And he gently carried the little girl in his arms and gave it a small kiss on the cheek. And with a last gaze on Harry and Hermione, they left.

I'll make a wish for you

And hope it will come true

That life will just be kind

To such a gentle mind

And if you lose your way

Think back on yesterday

Remember me this way

Remember me this way
