The trio are in there 7th and final year at Hogwarts. So much stuff had happened within the years but Harry had managed to overcome Voldemort and everything went back to normal, well, as normal as things were going to get. All that was left of Voldemort were the memories and nightmares that haunt the trio, and always would….
Hermione woke up sweating. She had just relived another horrible scene from the final battle against the dark lord. She started crying.
"No!" she cursed herself. "I can't let this affect me for the rest of my life."
Hermione got up and tip toed across the dorm to go down to the common room and think. She needed to be by the fire, by the light, for the fear of what was lying in the shadows still clawed in the back of her mind
When Hermione got down stairs she noticed that she was not alone. There sat a boy who went through so much. Pain, fear, tears. How could anyone ever be the same after everything that he had been through? He was coping though, or at least covering it up well.
"Harry?"
"Hey Hermione."
"What are you doing up so late?"
"I could ask you the same thing."
"Well I had a nightmare but-"
"What was your nightmare about?"
"It's not important Harry but-"
"Yes it is Hermione. What was your nightmare about?"
"Well it was from the final battle."
"Oh…"
"Harry,"
"No 'Mione, I'm sorry for everything I put you and Ron through."
"Don't be."
"How can I not be? I mean I put you guys through so much pain. I hurt you so bad. I risked your life. I owe you so much that I'm not sure I will ever be able to give you back what you lost."
"And what is that?"
"Happiness. Joy. Laughter. I'm so sorry 'Mione."
"Don't be. We care about you Harry. That's why Ron and I stuck by your side. You are one of the most important people in my life and I can't even imagine what my years here would've been like, not being glued to your side."
By this time tears were threatening to fall. He pulled Hermione into a hug.
"Thank you."
"No problem."
"Can I tell you something 'Mione?"
"Of course, anything."
"I love you."
"Oh Harry, I love you too. I always have."
They shared a deep passionate kiss that left them completely breathless. A kiss that burned there bodies. A kiss that had so much fire, so much passion, so much love. They kissed each other as if their lives depended on it. It was beautiful, and it was with their entire being.
"I love you 'Mione."
"I love you too, Harry."
They fell asleep in each others arms that night. It was a peaceful sleep. One of good memories and plans of the future. They knew that the spirit of Voldemort would never truly leave them, but now, what they have found is that in each other, lies an answer to their prayers. In each other, lies comfort and happiness. That through each other, there will always be someone who to cherish and hold, and that buries the bad memories, leaving only hope, it is the most important thing of all,
love.
