LAST chapter...!

Chapter 18: Revelation
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Draco sent his note to his mother and knew she'd answer fast. It was like her to do anything for Draco.
Throughout the day Draco was very aware of Hermione. She looked terribly depressed. Alone. Always in a book even more than usual. Hardly ate. He had hardly ever seen her eager to not respond in class, or to any other taunt a Slytherin made. If he doubted his decision before, well, this made him sure it was the right one.
Sitting in his common room later that day, Draco was trying to concentrate on his homework, obvious thoughts about Hermione swirling in and out of his head. But then his owl came soaring through the window straight for him, he was glad that hardly anyone noticed. He quickly pocketed the letter and small package. Draco walked out of the common room and eagerly walked to the Malfoy Room.
This is it...
He went in and sat the tiny package on the desk. He opened the letter and read it.
Dear Draco,
My Son, this is a very powerful tool, I do hope you know what you are doing.
You know how tangling it is to use one. But I trust your judgment. You
know I do.
I didn't tell your father. I am sure he wouldn't have approved. Send it back
as soon as you're done. He shouldn't notice it's missing.
I shrunk it. The kind you asked for is bigger, for larger amounts of time. You
must charm it back to its normal size before using it.
Good luck. I trust you to do the right thing.
Love from your mother,
Narcissa
Draco read and reread the letter carefully, and decided it was time.
He opened the package and unshrunk the Time Turner. It was about eight inches tall. He knew they came in several sizes, for different amounts of time. And this is the one he needed.
He was ready. But after a couple turns of the Time Turner, he knew that nothing of what had happened never really happened. He allowed himself a minute of thinking. It's hard to not remember, yet, forget it won't be the same...
He'd be the only one that would know what could have been...
He took one last breath before he gave the Time Turner a few twists, only thinking he'd never have the love of Hermione Granger. His lips never really touched hers...Perhaps...Another time, love...

Well there it is. i know, i know, not the best of endings, but then again, not the best of me.
Now, LET ME EXPLAIN ONE THING!
This fic could have MANY different endings. Hermione could have ended with Harry, or, Draco. Nevermind Cho, if she still had the same plan in mind for a second time, most likely yes, but think about it, this time she wouldn't have her "partner in crime"...so even if she did go with her same plan...then it most likely failed, because Draco wouldn't be there to conspire against Hermione, and then Harry wouldn't have ended up having sex with cho (:cough WHORE! cough:) so like i said, it could have many endings.
She could have been with Draco, i think that the "plan" was what made Draco so not himself around Hermione, it made him feel guilty, even though it could have been on an unconscious level. But in this particular fic, there was a connection of some sort between them, so even if Hermione didn' t love him, you never know, maybe she would have later on, given his change...Also i want you guys to know that i wanted to make this fic an Hr/D one, (that's why in the beginning Harry was a bit "bad")...but i'm sorry, i couldn't bring myself to actually do it...I'm just a MAJOR PUMKINEER! H/Hr! FOREVER! (DON'T JUST KILL CHO! KILL GINNY! KILL GINNY! KILL GINNY! KILL GINNY! KILL GINNY! KILL GINNY!)
And finally, maybe Hermione didn't end up with any of them. I was very torn between which guy to pick! I couldn't choose! Draco wasn't so bad...and Harry, well, Harry just has to be Harry! and i love them both!
oh well, it's all over! and i'm very glad because i didn't like this fic, i only posted because some of my special readers, where ever they are, i know some of you are in New Jersey! (and well, i'm from Oregon.) But all my special readers wanted me to keep posting the chapters, so i did, and i love getting reviews! (so that's another reason.)
I know this is a HUGE A/N, so let me just say ONE more thing! Ok, i am giving myself a month of relaxation, where i won't write! (i know how JK feels now,) not stoping with the writing for about a year and a half. (can u imagine she's gone much longer? HOW does she do it!) (i know i won't make it! but i'm gonna try!...who am i kidding? i can't go without a day without writing some sort of idea down, even during writer's block...which in my case, i've never really had, i get more of a TOO MANY ideas at once, and then forget them all...weird?) anyway my next fic is called Darkness, some of you already know about it! My dear friend, Oro4, was the one who made the ideas unleash. i had been thinking about this idea for a fic for about a year and a half, about the same time i started to write Gleaming, but i didn't get it down until Oro4 came around. so that's my next fic. Here i'll give u a little summary, so you can decide if you're still gonna stick around and wait until i begin to write again.
Darkness: "We must choose between what is right and what is easy." Harry chooses what's easy...But Harry finds out it's not so easy. Harry has a goal. His only mission. The Dark side of Harry Potter. H/Hr! Bit AU and OOC. Definitely the Dark side of Potter...
Well, trust me, i think it's better than it sounds, and i know it sounds OOC, but the characters stay in character, though the plot doesn't.
So sorry, my A/N is bigger than my chapter...that's sad...
REVIEW!
