New chappie! Remember, One more chapter to go. Maybe two. ________________________________________________

"NO! No, no, no, no, NO!" Hermione screamed. She got up from her seat and bolted out of the door, closely followed by Ron and Dumbledore.

Ron was in shock too. But he didn't want Hermione to see Harry up close, dead. He chased after Hermione as she raced through the corridors. He somehow knew that she was heading towards Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. "Hermione! Wait!" but it was no use.

"He's okay, he's okay, he's okay," she kept saying to herself as she ran. He can't die. He CAN'T! As she turned a corner she bolted through a door. The entrance. She saw the pipe that lead down to the Chamber of Secrets. Without a moments hesitation she slide down the pipe.

She landed with a loud THUMP on the hard, wet, ground. She started to go through the hall littered with decaying bones of small animals. She saw an already opened door and ran through it.

On the long stretch of cemented brick, Harry was lying on the ground.

Hermione sprinted as fast as she could to him and slide down to his side. He was still breathing. Footsteps came and both Ron and Dumbledore were at Harry's side.

"Harry? Harry can you hear me?" Hermione asked her voice was shaking. Harry took a deep breath and opened his eyes. They had a distant look in his eyes, like he was daydreaming.

"Hermione?" he asked. His voice was so weak.

"Yes," she said.

"Harry, you did it! You defeated Voldemort!" Ron said trying to make everyone feel better. Hermione began to sob a little harder.

"Hermione don't cry. Please, you should be happy. You should be celebrating!" Harry said to her, but his eyes still weren't very focused and his voice was still weak.

"Harry, I'm so proud of you. Your life has always been a tough road for you and you rose above it." Dumbledore said to Harry with his trademark smile.

"Come on, Harry. Let's get you up to Madam Pomfery's." Hermione said while putting her hands behind his head as though to help him to his feet.

"No, Hermione stop. It's to late now. You know it is. No matter how much you try to avoid it." Harry said.

"Harry, don't talk like that!" Ron said even though he knew it was true. "You can't die. Really. you can't." He said remembering when Voldemort casted Avada Kedavra on him as a baby.

"You guys aren't helping yourselves by lying like this. I can feel it. I can't explain it, but I know I have very little time left. If you guys look at the bottom of my trunk you will find two letters. Do as they tell you to do." Harry then turned his head over to wear Dumbledore was. " And just so you know. Hogwarts is. my true home. I'll miss you guys."

Harry then look up toward the ceiling as though seeing something, and smiled. Then, he closed his eyes. A soft, golden light surrounded Harry for a few seconds. When it was gone, a sad kind of peace filled their hearts. "Goodbye Harry, We love you." They said.

Ron and Hermione were setting by Harry's trunk. Ron slowly opened his trunk and digged around for the two letters. When he found them, he pulled them out and looked on the front. One was for him and one was for Hermione. He handed Hermione hers and began to open his.

Dear Ron,

The only time you should be reading this is if I have died. First, don't feel bad. It was not your fault and there was nothing you could do to help. Second, this was going to happen. The prophecy from 5th year said that the one that was born to the parents who defied Voldemort 3 times would have the power to defeat him. Or Voldemort would kill me. Third, I want you to please do the following. It is my final wish.

1) I want you and your family to take my gold. I, obviously have no more use for it. 2) I also want you to take my Firebolt.

Please do these things Ron. It is my final wish.

Ron looked over at Hermione's letter. Her letter said for her to take care of Hedwig and keep his wand. Also, there was a ring inside the envelope. A second letter said that he was planning to ask her to marry him on graduation day. Hermione burst into tears.

"I would have said yes," she sobbed.
