All You Wanted Chapter 11: The Letter

The year was ending. Every seventh year in Hogwarts seemed to hang on to the little bit of childhood they could. They knew that there lives as adults would start the moment they stepped off the Hogwarts Express for the last time, they dreaded that moment.

Hermione knew that meant less time she would spend with her best friend. Time when Harry will have to face Voldemort for the last time. Hermione spent a lot of time with him. She knew that Harry would fight to the death. It was the prophecy. One of the two would die. She feared that they both would die. She told this to Draco and Draco held her while she cried.

Draco wiped her eyes, "Harry will do his best. He will win the fight, Hermione." He left out the part where he thought that even if he did win, Harry might not come back. Draco had taken Harry's words to heart. Harry planned on fighting with everything he had. But that he wouldn't come back. Harry didn't have anything to live for anymore.

"I don't know what I'd do without him."

Draco pulled Hermione closer to him, "He'll always be with you. And you don't have to worry about it until then. I'll be here for you no matter what happens."

"I know you will. I love you Draco." Hermione nuzzled his neck.

"I love you too." Draco pulled her chin up gently so he could kiss her.

"What are we going to do after we leave," asked Hermione.

Draco sighed, "I can't go back to my parents. I have to break from them completely."

"I know."

"Why don't we get a flat near Diagon Alley," Draco asked hopefully.

"That sounds like a good idea. It'll be so much closer to the Ministry and everything else I love."

"Good. I'll look in the Daily Prophet tomorrow for something."

"I could get a job at Florish and Botts, and on top of the starting pay for Aurors that should be a fair way to help with rent."

"Sounds alright."

Hermione kissed Draco again. He pulled a blanket over the both of them and they feel asleep in each other's arms.

The last day of school came out of nowhere and found Hermione and Harry sitting out by the lake. Boarding the train was only an hour away. The two friends were quiet. Savoring the last moments they could just be children while they still could. Hermione was thinking about all the good times that they had shared through out their seven years as friends. She knew this was the time she had to let go.

Finally as the time grew short Hermione broke the silence, "I'll miss you Harry."

Harry nodded, "I'll miss you more than you know. I won't have my girl to save my neck this time."

"You'll be good without me. It has to be you alone," at 'alone' Hermione broke down and started crying.

Harry took the girl into his arms.

"I don't know what I'll do without you Harry. You can't leave me."

"I won't leave you Hermione. I'll always be with you. And you have Draco. He will protect you anyway he can."

"I know Draco will. But he's not you."

"He's all you need Hermione. Trust me."

"I trust you Harry."

"Dry your eyes. I'll always be with you here," Harry put a gentle hand on Hermione's chest, "No matter what happens to me. I love you."

Hermione cried harder. How can Harry say he loved her now? When he was leaving? Hermione nodded. She couldn't say the words back. Her lips didn't know how to say them. Harry pulled Hermione to a hug and kissed her forehead.

"Draco will make you happy. Everything will be alright."

Hermione turned to leave. She glanced over her shoulder as she walked away. The last time she would ever look at Harry. He was standing with the same slouch he always had with a hand in his jeans pocket. His hair fell messily on top of his head like never put a brush to it. Behind his glasses his eyes were wet with tears that wouldn't fall. A look of sadness on his face.

Hermione found Draco on the train in an empty compartment and she cried on his chest.

Life went on as Hermione and Draco worked with the Order of the Phoenix to stop Death Eaters and the rise of Voldemort. Every time Hermione stepped into the Headquarters she hoped that she'd hear or see Harry. She never did. No body even talked about him. With all the work that had to be done it was hard to even report what they could to Dumbledore or McGonagall.

Her Auror training took the time that the Order didn't take. All Hermione could think about was how she was going to take out the next Death Eater. Draco was worried that Hermione was working so hard that she hardly had time to breathe. He tried many times to help her cut back on the stress she was putting herself through.

About two months of working her nose to the grind stone a letter came to her as she walked in the door after a long day at the Order headquarters.

Hermione gasped at address of the letter. It was from Harry Potter.

Hermione,

You are reading this so I have to be gone. I died saving wizard kind. I couldn't go on myself. I didn't have the love that I needed to live on. Don't blame yourself. I would never blame you. I've loved you forever. I thought that Ron would be the one to comfort you when my destiny called. See how that turned out. When I saw how Draco treated you, I knew that he was the one that would have your heart. I wanted you and Draco together. I couldn't bear to see you in pain if I died. So I made sure that you would be loved and happy before I had to go. I didn't back out of the promise I made you. I'm with you. I could never stay away from you. I love you. I can't live without you being with me. I made sure that you would be happy. That was the problem. I wanted you to be happy no matter the outcome. If I lived I couldn't be with you because I wouldn't want to put you through the headache that two lovers cause. If I died and you were with me I couldn't let you suffer for me. I just want you to be happy. You can be happy with Draco. Let him treat you like you should be treated. He loves you so much. He needs you just as much as you need him.

All my love,

Harry

Hermione held the letter to her chest. It was time to let go. Harry loved her and she never realized that until it was too late to do anything about it. Thinking back, she knew that being with Draco wasn't a mistake. She still wanted to be with him. She still had to save him. And now Draco could save her.
