Hey Guys! Here's the last chapter of My Dear 'Mione, I hope you like it! But there will also be an epilogue after this chapter. Enjoy!

"Ron" Hermione said smiling, as her eyes filled with tears.

"Hey 'Mione" Ron said, wrapping his arms tightly around her.

I looked to the doorway and there stood Ginny. She winked at me, then smiled and left the room. When Ron pulled away from Hermione he looked at me, but quickly turned away as we made eye contact.

"Harry" He said in the form of a greet, while staring at the floor.

"Hey, Ron. Long time, no see"

"Yeah. I've been busy"

"Really?" I asked, thinking it was just some dumb excuse for being gone for so long.

"Yeah. I got a job as a healer"

"Ron, that's great" Hermione said.

Ron nodded. There was a short silence between the three of us, before Ron said, "I've missed you guys"

Hermione's lip trembled. "We've missed you, too"

Ron sat on the edge of Hermione's bed and placed his hand on hers. I did the same. Within minutes she was asleep again.

"I'm really glad you came, Ron" I said.

"Me, too"

A couple of minutes later Ron left Hermione and me alone, once again. I stared at her sleeping figure and knew that I couldn't give up hope. I ran my finger over the ring in my pocket, then kissed her temple and fell asleep by her bedside.

The next morning, I knew I would wake before Hermione, so I gathered all our family and friends into the room as she began to wake up.

"Harry, dear, what is this?" Hermione's mother asked, when everyone was finally in the room.

"Just trust me" I said, then turned back and stared deeply into Hermione's chestnut colored eyes. "Hermione, I love you more than anyone else in the world. I will never feel this way about anyone else." At this point, Hermione's mother was sobbing quietly, as was Hermione. Everyone else remained silent. "Will you marry me?", I asked, pulling the ring from my pocket.

"Harry, you know we can't do this" She said, while tears slowly ran down her face.

"Why not? We both love each other, don't we?"

You could hear a pin drop in the crowded room, as Hermione pondered over the question.

"Ok" She whispered, while a weak smile spread upon her lips. "Ok, I'll marry you"

And as everyone in the room wiped the tears from their eyes, I slipped the engagement ring on her finger, and she slipped the one I had purchased earlier for myself on mine, then we kissed, for the first time in a long time.

By the end of the week everyone was praying, for Hermione was on thin ice. But sadly, our prayers were not answered. On one grim and gloomy Sunday night, Hermione was taken out of her misery, adn out of our lives forever.

The funeral service was held a week later, and I had made sure that everything was perfect. Everyone who knew Hermione was there, even Draco. I looked to my right and saw Mrs. Granger sobbing very badly. The only thing keeping her up was Mr. Granger, who had his arms tightly wrapped around her, silently crying. She saw me and slowly walked over.

"Thank you" She said, shakily.

Her face was pale, and when she hugged me I noticed she was trembling.

"You don't have to say anything, Mrs. Granger. Besides, I loved her, too"

She nodded, and kissed me on the cheek, then went to say one final goodbye to her daughter. Mr. Granger shook my hand, then went to do the same.

I watched in grief as Mr. and Mrs. Granger sobbed over their only child's casket. And I knew that pretty soon I would be doing the same. I felt horrible just standing here feeling sorry for myself, while Mr. and Mrs. Granger were standing right in front of me grieving over their only child's death. Their only child. But I can't help but feel sorry for myself. I was her fiancee. She was very important to me, also. But before I even had time to feel sorry for them, I felt someone touch my shoulder. I looked over and saw Ginny's tear'stained face staring back at me.

"Hey, Gin" I said, hugging her.

"Hi, Harry. How are you?"

"How do I look?"

"Not good"

I turned from Ginny to stare at Hermione's casket. "You know, it hasn't even hit me that she's gone" I looked back at Ginny to find her eyes filled with tears. "It just happened so fast"

Ginny nodded. "I know what you mean" Then she turned to look at the casket, as well. "Have you...you know" She said, nodding in acknowledgement to the casket.

"No, not yet"

"Maybe you should now, while no one is around her"
"Yeah"

Ginny hugged me then went back to her family. I slowly approached the casket and finally saw what I was dreading; Hermione lying there peacefully, with her hands folded. She still had her engagement ring on her finger, and she looked beautiful. I fiddled with the ring on my finger as I fought back tears.

"My Dear 'Mione" I whispered, before bending down to kiss her hand. "Sleep peacefully"
