A/N: Ok, here is the next and final chapter of this story! I hope you like it and please review. I don't know what the sequel will be called but I do have a semi plan for it and I have and idea where it starts… Is all I have to do is start it! Lol.

Ok, answers to reviews!

devil's poodle- Thank you for reading my story! I hope you enjoy this chapter!

jesska-14- Thank you! I'm glad you like it!

ShOrTnSwEeT9013- Yay! I'm glad you chose my story to like! I just love the Draco/Hermione fanfics! But this one ended as Hermione/Ron so the sequel is actually Draco/Hermione!

Amrawo- Sorry for the mean cliffe! I was just raised that way!

AsquealinfgYaoiFanGirl- I'm glad you like it! I hope you like this just as much!

Dacercutie- Wow, I was surprised to see how much you wrote! That was definitely my longest review yet. Anyways, I know that I have grammer errors, especially with sentence use. Like fragments, I use them sometimes to emphasize another sentence, thought, or feeling. Plus, I did think about that glitch and my excuse was that they had not yet taken off the glamour before she left the Hospital Wing. So, they took it off later! Does that make since? I hope so and I hope you like this chapter!

don'twannasignin- Yea, I know what you're saying about 1st person perspective but I just feel that it gives the story more feeling. Plus, I've already written another story in a lot of Hermione's perspective. So, I do hope you read and like that one! And, I hope you like this!

DarkPrincessPyro99- Well this story ends with Ron and Hermione but in the sequel they are going to break up and Draco and Hermione will find their way back together.. How do you think they should come back together! Answer in a review! I hope you like this chapter!

Danish Pastry 28- Thanks for all of your kind words and no, the chapters weren't all so short… I hope. Anyways, at least one of them was extremely long! Hope you like this! It is kind of short but I don't know… the beginning and the end both seem to always be a bit short! And, yes, I have heard that poem before except when I read it the beginning said, "My name is misty, I am but 3" and the end said that and "last night my father murdered me…" So yea. Could you still e-mail the copy you have to me? I'd like to read it and that is where I got the bar!

Fiona McKinnon- Thank you! You don't know how glad I am that you and so many other love my story! It's just… Yay!

.Nyome.- And, I'm very glad you liked it!

So, thank you to all of my reviewers and I hope you like the next chapter! And, the sequel! I'm going to go and start it now! (I always write them down! Incase the computer crashes and Fanfiction takes my stories down! You know!)

The Final Battle

"Are you ok, Hermione?" Ginny asked. It had been several days since she remembered. The glamour that had been upon her had been taken off by Dumbledore and now it seem that something was tweaking her.

"I thought I knew him."

"Knew who?"

"No… no one. I don't want to talk about it…."

"Alright."

At that moment Draco Malfoy walked into the Great Hall.

He looked toward Hermione. His face seemed hurt and cold.

He walked straight to the Slytherin table, pulled Pansy up, and started making out with her.

Draco's P.O.V.

Why am I doing this to her? It's not like she knew who she was!

"But she's a mudblood." Draco's conscious tried to reason with him.

So what! It's who she is not what! She actually cared and now… now she's gone!

"So what!"

Ahhhh!

End P.O.V.

"Noo!" Hermione screamed, stood, and ran out of the Great Hall with her head in her hands crying.

But then, she ran straight into the caring hands of Ron who was walking by Harry.

"Hermione, what's… what's wrong?" Ron stood bewildered holding a weeping Hermione.

"Why? Why did I have to fall in love?" Hermione fell to the ground but instantly stood and punched the stonewall leaving a hole, "no, I'm not doing this to myself! Not now, not again! I deserve better than that Ferret Scum!"

All of the sudden Dumbledore's voice filled all of the corridors magically. "Students, please do not be alarmed! All those who were in only type of dueling club in any year, report to the Great Hall. All others, report to your house common rooms. Enchantments will be placed upon the houses so that no one will be able to enter. Voldemort is approaching the castle! He will be here in around 30 minutes. Students, please be quick. We can defeat Voldemort and we will. If you were not in a dueling club but are willing to fight, report to the Great Hall. Now, quickly students! Quickly!"

Students could be heard scurrying every which way. Hermione ran to the Great Hall. It was filled with students. They spotted Ginny and ran to her.

"I don't want you to fight! Go to the tower!" Ron yelled over the bustle.

"No, this is my battle too!"

"She's right, Ron. We need all who we can get about now!"

"Fine."

All the students were panicking. No teachers were there to help. They had to find their own way. So, Hermione jumped on the table.

"Everyone, shut up!" She screamed but not many quieted. She would have to be louder. "Silence!"

The hall was now dead silent. "Alright, looks as if the teachers are too busy protecting and preparing! Now, how many of us were in advanced dueling?" About 20 raised their hands. "OK. Someone count how many students are in this room. Advanced duelists, step onto the table." The students did as told.

"400 ma'am," a fourth year answered her previous question.

"Thank you. Ok. 400 divided by 20 equals 20. Ok, beggars can't be choosers so get behind one of these duelists and stay. 20 to a group," at that moment, Draco Malfoy walked in, "ok, 20 to 19 groups and 21 to the last remaining." Draco walked behind Hermione's group making hers 21.

The entrance hall doors were swung open hitting the walls ever so maliciously.

"Everyone, move out!"

Groups followed their leaders out of the Great Hall. They stood on the marble stairs. Hermione was in front.

"Where is Harry Potter?" Voldemort's raspy voice spoke.

"If you want him, you go through us! And, I suggest this be moved outside!"

"Why so? Minions, kill then but… bring Harry Potter… to me!"

"Yes, master." They were like robots!

"Everyone, if it comes to it… it doesn't matter what curse you use! Just stick to your gut!"

"Let the war… begin!" His drawling voice made Hermione twitch.

Death eaters soared left and right. You could hear spells being cast and lifeless bodies hitting the cold, hard ground.

"Expelliarmus… Petrificus totalus… silencio!" (A/N: Sp?) Hermione shouted.

Around an hour later, they had defeated most of them but had also lost some people.

"Harry Potter," Voldemort smirked.

"So we meet again and for the last time."

"Yes, yes we do and it's quite sad you will never smell the bitter sweet victory in the air… once your dead!"

Harry raised his wand. Voldemort did too.

"Expelliarmus!" Hermione had her wand raised and made Voldemort's go flying out of reach.

"Hermione, stay out of this! It isn't your battle!"

"Harry, this is my battle, too! Voldemort has affected us all! Not just you! We are all here to defeat this mistreated, half-blooded, dumb arse!" People gasped at how much emotion Hermione was showing towards her words. "That's right, Tom," he flinched at his muggle name, "You're a mudblood, right? Oh, and, who was it, daddy or mommy? Who treated you like dirt and made you into this? Because you know what? Look at me! My father abused me and raped me ad caused me mental pain all my life! I cut myself because of him! I watched my mother die! I hid bruises! I lied to my friends but look at me! I got a chance as Miss Danica Black and I fell in love and then it got ripped right out of my grasp! So, from all the people you've killed, tortured, and whatever bloody else… I want you to see where you went wrong so that it eats away at your poor dead soul!"

"What could such a puny girl do to me?"

"This…." She spoke the killing curse as clearly as she could manage. A green light shot at Voldemort. Hermione watched him writhe in pain and die, as did so many others.

Then, she turned and walked up to the tower shaking with fright and lack of strength the whole way. She created a wall. On that wall she placed a picture only she could see. It was a muggle picture in which she had been having fun with her father. It was before she knew the truth.

Tears poured down as she punched the wall repeatedly. She aimed at her father in the picture but did not damage for she did not have the strength at that very moment.

"Miss Granger, does that help?"

"Yes, sir." Dumbledore was now before her.

"Why aren't you celebrating? We won, with thanks to you! You have all rights to celebrate!"

"Was that why I was treated the way I was, to show me right? Is that how I found my strength?"

"Maybe not your strength but your weakness. But, maybe to show you that you are strong and can over come what life throws at you. But, Miss Granger, I cannot predict your future and therefore not answer your questions. Only you can, I'm afraid."

Ron, Harry, and Ginny burst into the room. Dumbledore was nowhere to be seen.

"Hermione, come on, come to the Great Hall. You, of all people, should celebrate!" Ron exclaimed.

Hermione stood and waked to Ron. She put her hands in his. She leaned her forehead against Ron's.

"I love you, Ron." She said it with deep care.

"I love you, too."

They parted only holding each other's hands as the quartet walked to the Great Hall to celebrate.

A/N: Ok, that was it… Lets see, what should I call the sequel? Creating the Future? You know, because it's oppisite of Escaping the Past. Well, anyways, what do you all think… give me some ideas and I'll see. If not, I'll create one of my own or something like that.

Important! And, in the sequel, it will end up DMHG! Just to let you know!
