AvatarLeader: Thanks for the review!
EmotionlessNightmare: Yeah, Harry finding the shack is kind of weird isn't it. I haven't thought up of why or how he found it, but let's just say he was roaming around and he happened to stumble across it. Haha, it's the best thing I can think up right now.
lemondrop: Thanks for the review!
Sarah: Hey, I wouldn't mind marrying a basketball. I mean, it won't complain and…okay, I'm getting stupid now. LoL. Yeah, so anyways, Anna is supposed to the 'the wise old woman' so thats why she's so 'worldy'. Haha.
Tween Idol: Yeah, there's a movie on this. It's really good, but it's in Hindi. It has subtitles and everything if you want to watch it, but I would suggest that only after you read my poor imitation, because it will ruin it for you. Oh yeah, the name of it is Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
Jennifer-JAM: Well, here's the next chapter. Another is coming up VERY soon!
tennisprincess15: Yeah, well she does leave…but don't fret, the story isn't done yet! Wow, that rhymes. Okay, I'm going to end it here because I don't want to sound any more like a loser than I probably already do by now. Haha, thanks for the review!
anjali: Thank you! And, wow, I love your name still. Haha!
fanjimmy: Yeah, they are sad, but…well, you'll see. LoL.
tfdrewrg: Thank you for the constructive criticism. Yeah, I see what you're saying when the events are a bit rushed. I mean, the 'I love you,' part was kind of out there. Maybe I should change that part to 'I'm really starting to like you,' or something like that…Hmm…
gizmama: Thanks for the review!
coldie voldie: Haha, thanks for the review.
fanficmaniac: Yeah, I haven't updated in a while. But, here's the next chapter, and I hope you enjoy it! On another note, AP and Honors classes are a bitch, aren't they? LoL!
The next evening, Hermione stood at the front gate with a suitcase in hand, and a grim expression on her face. The whole camp was there wishing her farewell.
"Goodbye, Mr. Roland," Hermione said, shaking his hand.
She walked up to Anna, and without even saying anything, Anna pulled her in to a motherly embrace. She tried choking back her tears.
Hermione went to Mya, who was looking down at the floor with tears streaming down her cheeks. She knelt down and looked into her eyes and wiped the tears with her hands. She placed a small kiss upon her forehead before getting up to walk to the car that was awaiting her.
As she was walking, a small, unfamiliar voice called to her.
"Are you going?" it said.
Hermione turned around to see who it was. It was Nicholas, the kid whom it was assumed that he couldn't talk. But there he was, saying something for, it seemed, the first time ever.
"Please don't go!" he said, wiping away his tears.
It seemed as though someone had pushed Hermione's 'crying' button and she started to spill tears from her eyes. She couldn't hold them in any longer.
She walked over to him and gave him the biggest hug she could manage.
After she got up, again another voice interrupted her as she was walking to the car. But this time, it was a very familiar voice. It was Harry.
She turned around to see him standing with everyone else. He walked up to her slowly. She had been hoping she wouldn't have to talk to him so that it would spare her the pain.
He took her hand and reached into his pocket. He pulled out the red scarf she had thrown to Ashley on the day she had left school (A/N: Chapter 12, if you don't know what I'm talking about) and put it in her hand.
"You gave this to Ashley when she was beginning a new life," he said after a moment of silence, "Today it's your turn. And I'm sure that you and Harry will be very happy together."
Hermione sobbed while walking backwards. "Jason," she said, "Its Jason…"
Harry eyes widened a bit when he realized what he'd said. They started to fill up and he looked down to hide his pain. But when he looked up again, Hermione was already in the car with Jason. This time, he let his tears fall.
A/N: I realize that the thank-you's are longer than the actual chapter, but the next chapter is getting posted within a day or two, so its coming up pretty fast. It might even come today!
