Afterward
Danielle woke up and frowned at the white ceiling above her. She turned her head and found Hermione in the bed next to her. "Hermione?"
Hermione opened her eyes and smiled weakly at Danielle. "What happened Hermione?"
"I was running to help you and Harry, when I saw the Dark Lord collapse in a heap at Harry's feet. Harry dropped soon after. I believe he's here some where."
Danielle turned her head towards a sound near the doorway. A nurse came in and Danielle said, "Where's Harry Potter?"
"He's in the ward across the hall dear. Since you girls are awake you are free to go, just take it easy."
"What about Harry?"
"He should be leaving today too."
Danielle slowly got up and felt a little lightheaded at first. She dressed and made her way across the hall. The nurse on duty showed her to Harry's bedside and left. Danielle took his hand and he slowly opened his eyes. "Is he gone?"
"Hermione says he is."
He slowly sat up and said, "Miss Riddle would you please pick up the small box on the bedside table for me?"
Danielle nodded her head and picked up the small black box. Harry took it from her and took her other hand in his. "Danielle Riddle will you marry me?"
He opened the box to display a silver ring with two small diamonds in the shape of hearts. Danielle looked up at Harry and tears formed in her eyes. She whispered, "Yes Harry."
He slid the ring on her finger and pulled her down for a kiss.
The End...
