A/N: I wrote this ficlet ages ago.. when it was first announced that someone would die in OotP and I recently found it again and thought I would post it. I hope you like it…
"Haven't you read a Hogwarts a History!" It was one of her favourite sayings; I swear sometimes she just said it to annoys us. Now Hermione will be immortalised on the very pages she memorised.
Hermione was, is one of my best friends she will stay in my heart forever. She was the kind of person people either love or hate, well I guess I can't say that as Ron and I hated her in the beginning, but we didn't really know her, we just new some no-it all from class.
It is weird standing up here, talking to you all about her, especially since I feel it was my fault she died. She died to save me, I didn't ask her to and I didn't want her to, but she did it and I can't change that. That's the kind of person is, was, I will miss her so much and I know you all will to.
There are people who could say so much more about her, but in a way I am glad I can share my piece of her with you. The first time we met, was on the Hogwarts express, she knew who I was straight away, and it seemed that she knew more about me that I did and as Ron would put it, "she's scary that one". Our friendship grew through the year and when it came to say goodbye for the summer holidays, I didn't want to leave hogwarts and the friends I had made.
I suppose Ron and I, well I know I did, saw Hermione as our friend, not a girl. I guess I first really took this into consideration, was at the Yule Ball in our fourth year. I think that's when Ron first liked Hermione, though he will never admit it. Hermione has survived being petrified, Rita skeeter and going out with Ron, and through all that I saw her become, well her.
It is now the end of my fifth year at Hogwarts, and not only do I have to say goodbye to another year. I have to say goodbye to a friend. We all love you Hermione and you will be in our hearts forever. I know it is my fault she is dead, she died to save me and I know some of you are wondering, why Hermione and not me. I have been asking myself that same question. I can't bring her back, nothing can and if I could, she would be standing here today. Though all of this is really depressing, we have to wake up to the fact that Voldemort is stronger and is killing, otherwise Hermione's death will be for nothing. She gave her life to save another and we should all remember her sacrifice.
A/N: Tell me what you think.. feedback would be awesome!
