A/N: Hey everyone, no that was not the last chapter of F.M. This is. That would have been way to evil. :D I just wanted to leave you guys with a cliff-hanger for a few. :D I hope you guys don't hate the ending. I could have gone on forever with that story and then I got this idea, what if it was all a dream? And then I was thinking, what if the dream was a 'what if'? You'll see a bit more when I get through. I'll explain my thinking at the end. I will be posting the Hedwig's Rant installment after I get that complete, which I don't think will be more than a week or two. (my co-author and I will see less of each other this semester in school where we trade off the notebook, she only helped me with that one chapter though because it was her idea and she fit the one part very well.) I will wait a couple of days and let reviews come in and I'll address them all before I post Hedwig's rant. I don't want to leave you all hanging. :D I hope you enjoy!

Stella Blu: I could do that because I am a master in plot twists. :D Good luck on a new semester and I'm glad you like my story, even though it has finally come to an end. tear, tear
silvertears44: lol! As I said in the note, I'm not that evil to leave the story like that. :D This chapter is kind of a reflect on everything. You'll see. :D
writingjustforfun: lol! I guess I did deserve a short review with that ending. I know I would have been ticked off too. :D That's kinda why I did it. (didn't I mention before the ending I was thinking about was going to get me killed ;D)

Chapter 37: Reflections

Harry Potter was no longer outside of Grimmauld Place kissing Hermione. He lay in a strange bed and his head throbbed from a headache. He could not see much as he opened his eyes; just blurs of color.

"Harry?" A voice said, and his brain could not register the voice.

"Where?" His voice croaked out from lack of use.

Someone placed his glasses on his face and the blurry images quickly became clear shapes. Harry always marveled how two pieces of glass could correct vision. He looked up and saw Remus standing off to his left and Hermione was asleep in the chair next to him on the right.

"You're in St. Mungo's. The Hogwarts Train was attacked when it was over the bridge. You were thrown from the train and nearly drowned in the river." Remus stated, and added "you've been unconscious for a couple of weeks."

It didn't happen? Harry thought. It seemed so real to be just a dream.

"Are you ok hurry?" Remus asked.

"I just…I had the strangest dream…" Harry said, frowning.

"Want to talk about it?" Remus asked.

"Not really. It just seemed so real." Harry stated, reality hitting him like a ton of bricks. His parents were dead and Sirius was just recently killed. Worst of all, he had to go back to the Dursley's. He shuddered at the thought.

"Was anyone else hurt in the attack?"

"Well, not really. Lot of minor injuries."

"but…?" Harry said, sensing something off in Remus's tone.

"Draco Malfoy." Remus said, his face looking serious but his eyes sparkled.

"What about him?" Harry asked.

"He was hit by the train." Remus said, trying hard not to laugh. "It's really not funny, but he'll be fine, after a couple of months in the hospital."

Harry nodded, and tried not to laugh. It wasn't funny that he got hurt, but the thought of Malfoy getting run over by the train was freaking hilarious. Remus glanced at his watch and looked apologetically at Harry.

"I've got to run. I'm glad you're ok Harry. Are you going to be fine on"

"It's ok Remus." Harry said, and the two said their goodbyes and Remus left. Harry's thoughts went back to the alternate universe he just woke up from.

He heard Hermione stir and turned his head to look at her. Her hair was wild from going uncombed, she had light bags under her eyes from lack of sleep, but she still managed to look pretty.

"Hey," Harry greeted as she stretched cat-like and smiled at him brightly.

"You're awake!" She said happily.

"yes, yes I am." Harry said and she laughed at herself.

"I guess you did know that hu?" Harry smiled. "How are you feeling?" She asked him.

"Slightly groggy and my head hurts a little." He admitted.

"They said you probably hit your head on something. The healers were afraid you'd wake up with amnesia." Hermione said and noted the look of surprise on Harry's face.

"Harry?"

"Yeah?"

"Are you sure that you're ok?" She asked.

"I'm fine. I'm just trying to shake the weird dream I had." He said, and his thoughts flew back to the kiss. I wonder what she'd do if I kissed her. He thought. Probably hit me. He added with a mental chuckle.

"What was it about?" She asked him.

"I had woke up from the attack on the train and I was in this strange place. I later found out it was Voldemort's lair. I had no memory, and my parents and Sirius were alive. I eventually got away from Voldemort and not long after I remembered everything, I woke up." Harry stated and Hermione looked at him sympathetically.

"Wow." She said.

"Yeah," Harry said and added "I almost wish I could go back." He thought of Sirius and his parents and wished they were alive again. Even one of them would be great.

"Well, I once read somewhere something on dream theories. It was really interesting, I'll have to find it for you later…but anyway, (not really in a book, I think. This is my own theory) The theory said that when we dream, we create things we really want. Only that has an effect. Like for you, you wish for your parents and Sirius to be alive, so when you had the dream, it was an alternate universe for you. In this universe, when you parents were alive, effected the future. I'm sure there were differences in your life and the main one, instead of waking up in a hospital with a chance of amnesia; you woke up with Voldemort with the amnesia. So, the dream is a possible, what could have been, if your parents had survived the attack and Sirius didn't…well, you know." Hermione stated, looking solemn at the end of her speech.

"I get what you're saying." Harry stated, looking away from her eyes.

"You also have to think, that if you're parents did live, would you have been the same?" Hermione stated and added silently "the Harry I know and love." Harry looked up at her, shocked.

Did she just say she loves me? Hermione's face reddened and she looked away from him as he looked up at her, with a shocked expression. Harry sat up, wincing at the soreness in his muscles. He reached out and lifted her face under her chin to make her look at him in the eyes.

All the emotion he felt for her during his dream came flooding into reality. He wondered how he could have been so blind for five years.

They started to move closer together and their lips touched softly and hesitantly at first and got more emotion, but did not turn into anything than a sweet first kiss. They broke apart moments later and looked at each other.

"I love you Harry." She said, her eyes reflecting the emotion.

"I love you too Hermione." Harry replied, and she smiled at him and got up on the bed with him. They lay down in each other's arms.

This is so perfect. Hermione thought.

The door opened and the couple looked up to see Ron Weasly walk in with someone else at his side. Harry noted she looked vaguely familiar but couldn't place her.

"Harry! You're awake!" Ron greeted happily.

"Hey Ron." Harry studied the girl more and his eyes had to widen a bit. Standing next to Ron stood Destany, slightly different, but it was her.

"Harry, meet Destany Ravin Mitchell. Destany, Harry Potter." Ron introduced.

"Hi." Harry said, thinking of the orphaned girl in his dream.

"Hi." She said, with a smile.

"Destany is a sixth year. She's going to be going to Hogwarts with us!"

Hermione looked slightly confused.

"My mother's an Auror in the states. She was transferred over to help with…well, you know, and I want to be a healer and my mom pulled some strings to get me an orderly position here." Destany explained, smiling.

"I see you two finally…" Ron said and motioned at them.

"Are you"

"I'm fine with it. About time! Anyway, we want to say…Destany has agreed to be my girlfriend." Ron said, smiling at Destany.

"He's been following her around since we got here, going on her breaks and everything with her. It's sweet." Hermione whispered to harry. He nodded, not at all surprised.

Ron and Destany pulled up a couple of chairs and sat down. They four began to build a new friendship.

Harry kissed the top of Hermione's head and she glanced up at him with a smile. He didn't know what would come this year, but he was sure they would all get through it together.

The End!

Final A/N: that is, if you have no plans for Hedwig's Rant which I'll explain more about in a moment. I hope you all understood my dream theory, and on a side note, it's snowing so bad we almost have a white out!!!!!! Wow!!! Anywho….Hedwig's Rant. It takes place after this story, and starts with Rita Skeeter interviewing Hedwig. Well, Hedwig feels under appreciated, and goes on a rant. Hence, Hedwig's Rant. Well, we decide to add other Hogwarts Animals, Fawkes, Crookshanks, Pig, and BuckBeak. If you can think of other major animals we missed, let me know. No we are not putting in 'Scabbers' as we hate the character Peter Pettigrew. Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Destany do make a short appearance. Again, this story is plain humor and has practically no plot or point what-so-ever except to amuse my friends and I. If you read it, I don't want flames because I warned you.

And I hope you all enjoyed the story. bows
