5 months later........
Hermione and Harry sat on the rooftop of St. Mungo's and watched the sun go down against the dim orange sky.
"Harry?"Hermione whispered.
"Hm?"
Hermione took a deep breath. "I have only 1 month left,"she began, exhaling slowly. "So...I want you to promise me something."
Harry jerked up. "What is it Hermione?"
"Promise me that you'll go on with your life when I leave, that you won't sit around and let your life go to waste. Promise me that you'll meet someone that you truly love and that you'll get married and live happily."
Harry gazed into her cinnamon brown eyes.
"Promise me Harry, please,"Hermione pleaded.
"I can't Hermione,"Harry admitted.
"Why Harry? It's not like you love me or anything..."Hermione trailed off.
Harry didn't answer. He just turned away. Finally, he said, "Yes, I do. That's why I can't keep your promise. I can't imagine being with anyone but you. I'm sorry." He stood up and left abruptly.
Harry's confession rang in Hermione's ears. Does he love me or not? Because if he did, he definitely wouldn't walk out on me. Her confusion soon turned into bitter tears as she lay her head against the cool cement. Why is this happening? She thought sadly.
Slowly, she stood up and walked to the edge of the rooftop. I might as well go now, there's no need to wait a whole month, she decided. Carefully, she put one foot on the ledge. A small verse of a song came to her mind:
Everytime I try to fly, I fall.
Without my wings, I feel so small.
I guess I need you baby.
And everytime I see you in my dreams,
I see your face, it's haunting me.
I guess I need you baby.
Tears flowed down her face as she realized how similar her feelings were to that song.
Harry pulled the door shut behind him. He began walking along the hallway. Whoa, hold on a sec Potter. You just left your one true love out there without much of an explanation. What the hell is wrong with you??? His conscience was tugging at him to go back, but he couldn't, not after he just confessed his love to her and walked out on her.
POTTER! His conscience screamed. GET YOUR ASS BACK OUT THERE RIGHT NOW!!!
Finally, Harry surrendered and turned around, heading back the way he came.
He opened the door slowly. The sight he saw horrified him.
"Hermione NO!"he shouted.
Hermione whirled around. "Harry,"she whispered tearfully.
Harry raced to her and wrapped his arms around her, picking her up and off the ledge. He set her back down on the cement.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry,"Harry cried, burying his face into her hair. "I don't care if you don't love me like I love you, but I promise that I'll always be here for you."
"But I do love you Harry,"Hermione said through her tears.
"I know you do but it's not in the same way that I love you,"Harry said.
"Yes it is Harry,"Hermione said firmly. "I'm sorry I never told you sooner, but I love you more than anything in the world. As long as you're by my side, I won't be afraid to go on."
She pulled back and smiled at him. "But you still have to go on with life, ok Harry?"
Harry smiled back at her and replied, "All right Hermione. I will. It won't be easy to live without you, but I'll try my best."
"Thank you Harry,"Hermione said softly.
Harry brushed some stray hairs out of her face before pulling her back into a hug. Soon, that hug became a snogging session, so after a while, they broke apart for air.
"So when did you start becoming attracted to me?"Harry asked slyly.
Hermione, blushing a crimson red, mumbled, "Since 2nd year."
Harry raised his eyebrows. "You've liked me for 5 years?"
"Correction Harry,"Hermione interrupted. "I liked you for 3 years until our 5th year when I began realizing that I loved you."
Harry smiled sheepishly.
"So when did you start liking me?"Hermione asked curiously.
"Well since 3rd year, when we were talking in the trees while waiting to rescue Sirius,"Harry replied. "While you were talking, I had this sudden urge to grab you and snog you senseless." He smirked. Hermione rolled her eyes.
"But,"he added, "I think I was already attracted to you that day we met on the train. Your bossiness was very...how should I put this...captivating."
Hermione smiled. "So you've been attracted to me, liked me, and loved me for a total of 7 years already?"
It was Harry's turn to blush. "Yeah,"he mumbled, turning scarlet. Hermione lay her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes, inhaling his familiar scent that she'd known for 7 years.
As it began to get dark, Harry said, "I better go now. I have a Charms quiz tomorrow."
Hermione nodded and sat up, watching him as he stood up and wrapped his cloak over himself.
"Harry, how is Ron taking all this?"Hermione asked suddenly.
"Well...he's not really talking to me, so I guess he's still angry." Harry shrugged.
"Can you try talking to him?"Hermione asked.
"I have tried already, but he just won't talk to me,"he paused. "But I'll try again though, for your sake."
"Thanks Harry. That means a lot to me,"Hermione said sincerely. Harry smiled at her.
"Bye Hermione." He lifted up part of his cloak and blew her a kiss, before opening the door and leaving.
Hermione watched him go, then began zipping up her jacket because she knew how cold it would be inside of St. Mungo's, since the hospital supervisor had recently become obsessed with muggle things, so he had ordered A/Cs and would always turn them all the way up to HIGH, so the whole hospital would be freezing cold.
Hermione went back to her room and immediately fell asleep because she was so tired. What she didn't know was that her illness was slowly draining her energy.....
