Chapter One: The Dawn is Breaking
I had to go with Harry. There was no choice in that, but yet there was reason not to leave with him. I am sitting here, in the twins' old room, which is now her room, watching her sleep knowing that I had to leave with Harry at dawn, but feeling in my heart that I couldn't leave her. I know that when she wakes up she is going to think that I left her alone. Ever since her parents went into hiding in the States she has had this fear of being alone, but I promised her I would always stay at her side. I kept that promise for 2 years and now I had to break it. Harry is more important, because when he wins, when he saves us all, her parents will come back, my parents won't risk their lives, I won't lose any more brothers, Ginny will be safe, and most important she will be safe. Harry may be the savior, but I am the sacrifice. That was always my place, the place I knew I had ever since first year when I let the queen take me. I knew then that it would come to me being Harry's shield, sacrificing my life for his so he would be the Boy-Who-Lived-Again.
It's almost dawn and the time I have here with her is over. I slip the letter I wrote her nest to her and the ones to the rest of my family on her night table knowing that she will give them to the others. I kiss her gently on the forehead and slip from the room to Percy's where Harry is waiting for me. As I walk in he says nothing but by the look on his face I can tell that he knows, he realizes what is going to happen in that forest today. We don't say a word as we apparate to the forest where both of us will meet our destiny. I can only hope that it ends today, that we will finally be free.
When Hermione wakes up in the morning she knew something happened. What it was she didn't know, but considering that she has been fighting evil for nearly 7 years she is fairly sure that something bad was going down. As she jumped out of bed she saw a note on her pillow. She was torn for few seconds trying to decide whether she should read the letter or run downstairs and look at the clock. Finally, her curiosity got the best of her and she began to read it while pacing in her room.
Dear Hermione,
First things first, sit down and stop pacing; you're just going to get dizzy and worked up. Secondly, you won't find us, Harry put unplottable charms over us and no one knows that we left. Now don't go running downstairs. Harry had to end it, he knew Voldemort was going to attack and he knew it was going to be bad. I won't let him go alone. He may think he needs no one, but we both know he does and that one of us would go with him and I couldn't let it be you.
No, I couldn't let it be you no matter what you say. You see, you are the most important thing in this world to me. I probably should have told you years ago, but you see I love you. I think I always have. You make me absolutely crazy, but somehow it makes sense. You make me crazy, angry, awed, and just happy. So you see how I couldn't let it be you. You need to live and be happy in the new safe world. You won't be alone because I will keep my promise and always be there, perhaps not in body but in your heart and soul I will be there.
Love forever
Ron
Please give the other letters to my family after Harry comes back and hug mum for me.
With tears running down her face and sobs choking in her throat Hermione dropped the letter on the floor and ran down to the kitchen of the Burrow. She slammed into the kitchen table and stared at the clock. With an ear-piercing scream that woke the rest of the house, she crumpled to the floor. By the time that the rest of the Weasley's got downstairs, Hermione was at the point of hysterics, rocking on the floor screaming and sobbing. The family looked up and saw both Harry and Ron's hands pointing to Mortal Peril.
