Swiftly walking through the door Hermione felt a great jolt surge through her body. The sky was a dismal color of gray, and an eerie presence lingered over the grounds like a blanket, smothering the earth with a suffocating feel of terror.
"Stay close, we are going to apparate once we get a bit farther" Harry said, turning around to look at Ron and Hermione "So we are going to Godrics Hollow, Harry are you sure you want to go there? Are you emotionally ready?" She asked, in a tone of worry. She felt herself pale as Harry glared at her "I don't mean that, I am just asking whether you are ready to face your past." Hermione said, trying to explain what she actually meant.
"Oh Hermione, I know what you mean" Harry said with a smallsigh "Yes, I recon I am ready. Sooner or later I have to go back there anyway." He said, stopping at the stop of the hill they were just hiking. Hermione took out her wand, as Harry began to speak "Here is where we will be Apparating" he said calmly.
Turning on spot he was gone. Then Ron did the same, and was gone. Hermione stood there for a second. She wasn't sure if she should go. She sat down for a second and pulled out the letter she had in her backpack, that was next to her Knife (A/N, She needed muggle protection!), food (Ron and Harry wern't going to starve on her watch) and her book of spell that she packed, so when they stopped for the night, she could go over new spells. The letter read the following
Dear Dumbledore,
As you know by now I am dead. I have written this letter previous to my leaving the Burrow with Ron and Harry. It is with great honor that I state how lucky I was to accompany Harry on this task. I really do hope that they have survived, and Harry has defeated Lord Voldemort. The reason I wrote this letter, was for if I knew shortly I would be giving my life to save Harry, I could send this to you, and hope you could know the information I know. Harry thinks very highly of you, and I do hope you will take care of him when I am gone. Please leave him the following message "I am extremely sorry Harry, that I cannot be here with you. I will always watch over you, and you know I will do my best. You have been my best friend for 7 years, and I do hope you will never forget me. I love you Harry -Hermione" Please tell him also, not to tear himself apart over anything. And for Ronald "Ron, you know I love you very much, and I will always be with you. You helped me realize that living my life to the fullest was the only way o live. Please take my gold, for I want you to enjoy your life, and not be poor, for I know it bothers you so. Much love- Hermione" I know it may seem uncalled for, but I can only trust you to complete my wishes. And for you Dumbledore, you were the best headmaster anyone could wish for. I thank you for everything. Please tell my Mom and Dad I died in a glorious fight, and that I love them so much.
Sincerely,
Hermione Jane Granger
A tear fell from her hazel eye. Quickly wiping it away she remembered writing the letter. How she struggled to continue writing, wanting to stop but just kept on going.
Getting up, she slowly packed her bag again. Straightening her Carmel khaki jacket she turned on the spot, and felt the sensation of being squished through a food package vacuumed seal, she arrived at a dark colored house.
Harry and Ron were walking through the door. Pulling her bag over her shoulder, she walked up to the house and entered the door, not a backward glance to the life she left behind.
