Chapter 4 – Heaven

Hermione awoke the most beautiful sight she ever saw, excluding emerald eyed, raven haired boy she loved. She stood up and looked out from the shore of the sea she was at. And also noticed she was wearing only a silk dress. There were people distances apart. She had no idea where she was. So she walked up to an elderly lady sitting on the beach. "Excuse me miss, can you tell me where I am?"

"Yes my dear, you are in heaven," said the smiling older women. I just walked around letting this new information sink in. I'm dead and slowly but clearly my memory came back. I remember Harry dueling Voldemort then he sent a Green light at me, and that was the last thing I remember before waking up here. The realization just hit me like a ton of bricks, I really am dead. I just started crying for my parents, Ron, the Weaslys, the order and especially for Harry the man I loved. I never even got to tell him how I felt.

Then delicate arms wrapped around me saying soothing words to me. I looked up to see those emerald eyes staring at me, but these were from women with beautiful red hair. "Harry's mom..." I mumble. She just nods.

"We have been waiting for you. It's been a month since your death and you passed the trials to enter heaven. You wonder why I am waiting for you?" I just nod. "Because are son is in love with you, and is coming for you."

"What!" I scream. "He didn't kill him self for me did he?"

"In a way he did, he went through the Veil. He met with the guardian Razor just today."

"The legend's true? There is a guardian in the Veil that guides pure hearts to the portal?"

"Yes, the legends true. But no one has made it yet."

"Sirius...." I croak out. "Don't worry; Harry will be bringing him along once he saves him from the orcs. Maybe this conversation will help you." Lily pulled out a pensive and put it down in front of me. I immediately saw Harry and Razor talking,

. Are you willing to fight this evil for her? Are you willing to die and suffer the rest of your life in the fiery pits of hell for her?"

"Yes....I'd do anything for her."

Tears start flowing down my eyes. "Do not worry dear, Harry will make it. Until then you will stay with us, I dare say it will be another month till he arrives, maybe even longer. And you our truly as beautiful as Harry said." She noticed my curious look, and gave out a giggle. "One may be dead but still can hear those who talk to them. Now come dear, you need to eat and rest up. James should have dinner almost done by now." Lily got up and I just followed. About 10 minutes later we reached a huge town. All the houses and buildings were pearl white. "Ah dear, hear in heaven everyone lives in harmony. It is exactly like the world of the living, except no evil. There are town pubs, libraries, gyms, and much more."

"What's that?" I asked as I point to the Castle at the end of the long town.

"That my dear, is God's castle. No one has ever looked upon god before. Unless you are a god yourself. Now come along dear our house is just up a few blocks." We walk along for the few more blocks before we come upon a small beautiful house. Lily stepped inside, and I just followed her. Ill be waiting for you Harry. Was my last thought before being introduced to Harry's dad.

That night I lied awake thinking about Harry. How could he just give up his life for me? How stupid was I never to confess my feelings for him before. And for the first time all day the news that Harry actually loves me sinks in. I can't wait to see him. "Ill be waiting for you my love...." I whisper into the night before sleep over takes me.
