We'll, any reviews for chapter 25 that I haven't received yet, thanks.

Chapter 25

The Locket

Harry, Hermione and Ron all started there long walk back to their school.

"Are you sure you're alright?" Harry had asked Hermione, who had just overcome one of the Unforgivable Curses.

"Yeah, I'm fine," she said, wishing everybody would stop worrying about her. "I'm going to go look up ahead." Hermione walked ahead, floating far ahead of the other two.

"Mate, you should really go talk to her. This might be your last chance before the summer." Ron said to Harry, pushing him in front.

"Oh, all right."

Harry walked up to Hermione having no idea what to say. He was becoming nervous.

'It's just Hermione.' He thought. 'That's exactly it.' He screamed in his mind. 'It's Hermione!'

"Look, Hermione, I'm sorry. I brought this whole mess upon you." He said, apologetically.

"Don't worry; it's not your fault. It's Voldemort's, not yours. And don't ever say otherwise." Hermione said, trying to make him feel better.

The walked a couple of paces in silence. It was very awkward; they never had a silence like this. Harry had no idea how to do this, but he knew this ha to be done. Harry glance at her neck, and suddenly a thought crept into his mind.

"Hermione, did you ever try and open that locket I gave you."

"Hermione looked at him like he was crazy. "No, I wasn't sure if it did.

"Well, open it."

Hermione fidgeted around with it for a few minutes and she finally got it. Enscripted on the inside were the words, "I Love you Mione."

"Harry, you're so sweet. But what does this mean?"

"It means exactly like it says. Hermione, I've fallen in love with you."

"Oh…" Hermione ran up to him and gave him a kiss.

She kissed him for the first time, knowing his true feeling. This was the first time she kissed him that she didn't feel guilty for kissing her best friend.

She broke off the kiss.

"Harry, I love you too."

It was the end of the year train ride back home from the great old school of Hogwarts. It was just another year. Another year was over. Harry and Hermione walked off the train, hand in hand. It turned out that everyone was okay with them dating each other, and Ron didn't even mind. First, they went to go say goodbye to the Weasleys. This took a good few minutes. Next was the hard part, saying good byte to each other. They embraced each other in a hug. They had a short but long goodbye kiss, knowing that they would be in the same position two months from now.

"Bye Hermione, I'm going to miss you."

"Bye Harry, I'll call you sometime. Maybe you could come over..."

"I'd like that."

Harry and Hermione had one last passionate kiss before they broke off, ready to start there summers.

THE END

A/N- Wow, this is pretty sad. Okay, so incase your wondering if I will write again it all depends on one thing, High School. Hopefully my teachers and my new school won't be too hard, so I can find the time to write.

Until then,

Have fun reading, for all of you who are.
