Waiting…
Disclaimer: All the characters belong to J.K. Rowling, only the plot is mine
Summary: What happens when you give you're heart to somebody and never get it back? Would you wait or would you give up? I chose to wait.
My name is Hermione Julia Granger and I am going to tell you how I lost my heart to by best friend…
FLASHBACK
As Harry heard Bellatrix Lestrange's triumphant scream something inside of him snapped. It was like when he blew up his aunt except it was much, much worse. All of his wild magic was set loose, like air from a balloon, and poor Professor Lupin who was holding him back was blown into a pillar.
Lestrange didn't stand a chance in hell. Harry killed her with a single blast with his magic.
"Very good Potter, you just killed my loyalist follower." You-Know-Who said.
Harry didn't answer, but thru a blast of wild magic so pure that Tom's (I'm calling that thing its proper name.) immortality was blown away. Sadly Tom still remained not quite human but not quite monster either.
"You'll pay for that Potter!" Tom snarled "Avada Kedavra!"
But the curse never reached Harry instead it was deflected by his wild magic shield.
"WHAT?" Tom roared.
"You should know better Tom, Wild magic in its purest form blocks evil curses like that one, you should know that." Dumbledore explained calmly.
"No one asked for you're opinion old man." Tom snapped back, then conjured Salazar Slytherin's Sword.
Harry drew out Godric Gryffindor's Sword from his belt loop.
They dueled as the old muggles did before there were guns and machines.
We (meaning Ginny, Ron, Luna and I) arrived just as the final blow was dealt. Neville was already there (I got most of the details form him on what happened before we arrived.)
Tom had Godric's Sword thru him and keeled over and died. Harry had Salazar's sword in him, he looked down in surprise and let out a eerie laugh, then he pulled it out.
When the sword was finally out he did the strangest thing (in my opinion) he nodded at Professor Dumbledore.
Dumbledore nodded back as if to grant Harry some sort-of wish.
When I saw him stagger towards the veil, I somehow injured and hurt, got to him before he vanished.
He turned and gave me his famous half-grin and mischievous twinkle in his eyes as if to assure me of some unknown fact. Something in that moment made me do something I'll never forget or regret, I kissed him.
Yes, I KISSED my best friend since first year full on the mouth.
After I had kissed him he said "Thank you."
"For what?" I asked and I'll never forget his answer for as long as I live.
"For seeing the true me, not just the 'boy-who-lived." He answered.
"You're welcome, Harry." I whispered.
"I will come back." He told me.
"I know." I said because somewhere deep down inside me I knew he was going to come back. Then he turned and went thru the veil.
Dumbledore came behind me and said "He will come back."
I just smiled sadly. We all mourned for our "lost" savior, and I tried to get back to my life and school in the months that followed. But it wasn't until Victor Krum re-entered my life that I actually started to laugh again, but when he asked me to marry him, I remembered Harry's promise.
"I'm sorry Victor, but I can't marry you, for I gave away my heart a very long time ago, and I really have never got it back." I said
"You're sill vaiting aren't you?" He asked me.
"Yes" I whispered.
"Vell don't vait too long." He said and walked out of my life forever.
END FLASHBACK
But how long is too long to wait for that one person who holds your heart?
It's been seven years and three months since that fate-full day and yet I still find myself unconsciously, unknowingly waiting…
A/N: Well that's it. Good, Bad let me know if I should put up a second chapter. R&R please.
