The Final Chapter
ORIGINIAL ENDING...IF YOU DO NOT LIKE PRETEND THIS NEVER HAPPENED AND GO TO NEXT CHAPTER!
The Weasley's cheered. They finally got the house. All the kids left the room and Molly and Arthur gave Harry and Hermione a hug.
"Harry, I don't know what to say, this is like it was built for our family" said Arthur
"Don't worry, it was our gift to you. Now its time for just my gift." Harry said. Hermione looked at him, she had no clue what he was talking about. "Well, you guys did a lot for me, and no words can describe this gift that I can give you but here" Harry handed them yet another piece of partchment
The Weasley family,
You guys have treated me like a family that I never had. Never saying no (most of the time). I always remember how you guys were always a little short on money. That is no longer an issue. However, to be on the safe side, I have deposited six million galleons into your bank account for you guys to use. It can be for anything you wish. Enjoy it and use it well.
Love,
Harry
Molly had tears in her eyes, Arthur was also very deeply felt. Molly gave him a huge hug, "You have no idea what this means to us."
"Harry, that is an awful lot, are you sure?" Arthur asked
"I'm sure, I haven't told anyone really but, when I officially turn seventeen, I will get six million galleons deposited into my bank account..."
"Why did you give it to us?" Arthur asked
"I didn't finish." Harry said "Six million galleons deposited into my bank account annually"
"Annually?" Molly and Arthur asked
"Yes, annually, and I gave you guys one of them."
---------------------------------------------
The next few months went by quickly. Harry's birthday came and went, they had an all out party at the Manor. The Weasley's were now all settled in and love their new home. They had bought new robes, books, dress robes, cauldrons, quills, etc. and such with their six million and barely put a dent in it.
They had received their Hogwarts letters, but again as teachers, Harry DADA, Hermione Muggle Studies.
Harry's and Hermione's came together each with the same letter
Mr. and Mrs. Potter (wow, never thought I would say that again)
You are once again invited to come back to Hogwarts, you children could be placed under proper care while teaching. You will have the same room Harry had last year unless sometime it is needed for another student in danger.
Albus Dumbledore
Headmaster
Inside Harry's envelope there was another letter.
Harry,
We have received word that Voldemort is back and stronger than ever. I believe that it is time for the final battle. As soon as you get this letter, please floo or appariate to me as soon as possible.
Dumbledore.
Harry's face was struck with horror. His scar had been burning more often, but he just ignored it since it was just a tingle "Hermione, I have to go and see Dumbledore."
"Alright" Hermione said placing a kiss on his forehead.
Harry appariated to Dumbledore's office.
"Ah, Harry, wondered when I would be seeing you. Well, we'll just skip the introductions and get down to the chase. Voldemort is back and we believe that his is ready to come and find you and kill you. I know that you have been ready for this battle for many years now, but, we do not know how long this will take. It could take a matter of minutes or a few years."
Harry nodded "I'm ready, where is he?"
Dumbledore proceeded to tell him everything he knew. (AN: this has no real interest in the story, so I'm not going to make up anything, use your imagination...)
After he told him everything Harry nodded. He would leave immediately, no friends, no family no one. No one was allowed to reach him in anyway.
Harry really did not want to leave his kids at such a young age, but, if it was for their safety in the future. It was worth it. And with that Harry was off.
------------------------------------------
Hermione's POV
Hermione was pacing the house waiting for Harry's return, she had something to tell him. Just then, an owl tapped on the window.
Mrs. Potter
Harry has gone off to fight Voldemort. You are still welcome to come to Hogwarts with the children.
Dumbledore
Hermione started to cry, she never got a chance to say good bye. Or tell him the great news.
She was pregnant again.
----------------------------
1 year later
Hermione was graduated from Hogwarts, first in her class. Even with missing a year, Harry was second in their class. A seat of honor was held on the side for him. They wore black cap and gowns. During Hermione's Val Victorian speech, she talked about Harry and cried. She had not been able to contact him (AN: Yes Dumbledore forgot to tell her that)
Hermione tried to think through the worms to him but all she got was 'Were sorry, the person you are trying to reach has put a spell on so they cannot hear your thoughts, please try again later' That was a year ago. She tried for six months, but still nothing, she figured there was no point and removed it.
She had given birth to another boy in May. She went along with naming her child Jonathan Sirius Potter. He had the black messy hair and the emerald green eyes.
Hermione became desperate and tried to owl Harry. She was shocked when she got a reply.
Hermione,
Please, stop owling me. I am very busy.
Harry
She thought that it was rude. She owled again. She cried when she read the next message.
Hermione,
I told you to stop owling me. But I guess you too much of a self centered bitch to realize that. I cannot believe that I married you. If you are going to act like this, then don't bother. Divorce me for all I care!
Harry
She picked up the kids and left Potter Manor. She bought an unlisted cottage with five bedrooms, about three blocks away.
It was July.
--------------------------------
Harry's POV
(August)
It was one year ago he started this adventure, but it was worth it, Voldemort and all of his followers were dead. He felt horrible that he had to leave Hermione like that but, he did what he had to do.
He appariated home. The Manor. He walked around calling "Hermione!" but no one answered.
He took off the spell on the worm and thought 'Hermione' but he got a message "The other user has taken the worm out. Please try again later"
He went to the Weasley house. They all hugged him. He pushed them away "Where is Hermione?"
"Isn't she at the Manor?" Ron asked
"No. She's not there, no Maddy, no Dobby, no kids, no Hermione, no one is there." Harry said
"Well, think hard about Hermione and then appariate, it might take you to her" Molly said
He thought long and hard. He found himself standing inside a quaint cottage.
End Harry's POV
Hermione's POV
Hermione heard a pop and went to go and see who it was. It was Harry.
"Hermione!" he said. He ran to go and give her a hug. She moved out of the way and he ran into the wall. "What the hell?"
She slapped him across the face.
"What was that for?"
"You know god dammed well what that was for! You left me, no way of contacting you. I thought that Dumbledore put a spell on you so owls couldn't find you. But in desperation I tried, thinking that maybe there was an exception for me! NO! There was one, but I get an answer back 'Leave me alone Im busy!' I asked you 'Why whats wrong' Then your answer was and I quote 'I told you to stop owling me. But I guess you too much of a self centered bitch to realize that. I cannot believe that I married you. If you are going to act like this, then don't bother. Divorce me for all I care!'" Hermione screamed through her tears.
"What! I said no such thing" Harry said
"Bull shit! You just wanted me out of the picture from day one! You left without even saying where you were going, I had to get a letter from Dumbledore saying where you went! And you know what? I had news to tell you. I was waiting for your return but then I got that letter and gave up!" Hermione yelled again
"You think I wanted to leave like that?" Harry asked
"Get out of my house before I hex you! You and me are no longer together! I have custody of the children, I shall send you the papers for you to sign later!" Hermione yelled.
Harry went back to the Manor. He laid on the couch and sobbed. He must have laid there for a good two hours. He lost the love of his life, his children. There had to be some way to prove it. "Pensive!" Harry thought.
He pulled out one huge memory, from the time Dumbledore told him, through the battle and everything. He left out certain parts otherwise it would take her a year to see it all. From the looks of it, it was a two hour pensive.
An owl tapped on the window. It was from Hermione. It was the divorce papers. He didn't even look at them. He sent her a letter
Hermione,
Here are the memories that I have from the time Dumbledore told me, though the battle to the time I came back. Please look at them
Harry
He sent them back.
Two hours later, he got another owl
You sneaky bastard! You took out the parts of where you wrote me the letters! Just sign the god damn papers and send them back!
Harry sobbed. He looked at the papers
This form here by divorces Harry James Potter and Hermione Jane Granger Potter from each other. Ms. Granger receives custody of all four children.
He stopped there. "Four?"
He put the papers in his pocket and appariated to Hermione's flat. He could take a few hexes.
"I thought I told you to get out of my house!" Hermione yelled
"First, what is this about four children, last I knew I had three!"
"Well, before you left I wanted to tell you. I was pregnant, I had another boy, Jonathan Sirius Potter. I was waiting for you to return, but then the letters..."
"Hermione, I had a spell on me that prohibited any contact with anyone, you saw that. No owls not even yours could reach me!"
Hermione narrowed her eyes. "Your just lying because you want to spend time with your children!"
"No Hermione, I love you! I never sent those!"
"Just sign the god damn papers and get out of my face."
Harry sobbed. There was no winning. He picked up the quill and singed the papers. "Can I at least see the letters?" he asked
She stood up and handed it him. "NOW GET OUT!"
He left.
Harry charmed the paper to find out who wrote it, across the back 'Draco Malfoy' appeared.
"I thought he was my god damned friend!" Harry had no life.
He went upstairs and wrote a letter to Hermione and sent it to her.
-----------------------------------
Hermione opened her window for Hedwig.
Hermione,
I did not write those letters, you saw the spells that Dumbledore put on me! No contact with anyone whatsoever! I wanted to come back and say goodbye but Dumbledore thought that it would hurt us even more.
I checked the letters, I did not write them, on the back there is who wrote them, I used the charm 'Revel the writer' in case you believe I wrote it.
He had sent back the letters, she looked on the back and it said 'Draco Malfoy'
"He's our friend" She took her wand and pointed it to the paper, it again revealed 'Draco Malfoy'
I assume by now that you checked it and saw who it was. It must have intercepted, or stopped and the owl let him have it.
If you find it in your heart to come and see me, I am in our room at the Manor.
Harry
PS. From the time you finish this, a timer will go off in my room, you have twenty minutes.
----------------------------------
The timer went off in Harry's room. It started to count down.
19...18...17...16...15...14...13...12...11...10
She's probably not coming
9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2..1...
Here it goes. He lifted his wand up to his head.
"A..."
There was a popping noise.
He stopped and lowered his wand.
"Do you believe me?"
"No..."
"Fine." He once again raised his wand to his head. He was sobbing.
Internally he thought 'Avanda Kavera' and out of his wand, a green light shot toward him.
He fell to the floor
Hermione rushed over to him and knelt next to his dead body.
"I trust you, and I love you" Hermione said through tears, she wanted to say that but he was too quick for her. She his dead lips.
---------------------------
"He was the boy-who-lived. I loved him. He killed Voldemort, he didn't die during battle, he died of a broken heart, and I caused that to him. I didn't believe him. He swore that he didn't write the letters breaking us up, but...It was his word against mine, and mine was winning. In the end, he showed me that he was correct. Someone else had gotten the letter and wrote that stuff. I did love him and I didn't want to break his heart, I just...didn't believe him. I now know that he was correct, but he asked me if I believed him, I wanted to say 'No, I trust you and love you' but all he heard was 'No' and before I could do anything, he wordlessly killed himself." Hermione cried.
It was Harry Potter's Funeral. It was at Hogwarts. The entire wizarding world was basically there. The Weasleys, Dumbledore, Hagrid, and the four children, sat in the first row, each sobbing.
In his will he wished to be buried at Hogwarts. A portrait was hung in the Great Hall from the ceiling, of his most recent picture. That was not in his will but they thought it would be a nice tribute to a man who loved Hogwarts and to the man who survived the Final battle, but died of a broken heart.
All of his money and houses belonged to Hermione, but she didn't want it so she gave it to the Weasleys.
-----------------------
It was a week after the funeral and she couldn't stop crying. She dropped the four kids off at the Weasley's. She cleaned the house, but soon found that everything reminded her of Harry. She couldn't live with herself.
She went up into bed. She poured herself a glass of vodka. She wound up drinking the whole bottle and passing out.
Four hours later, Molly found her in bed dead. Around her there were the divorce papers ripped to shreds. She died in her own vomit.
On the bed there was a note that she had written before hand "I died for Harry".
Mrs. Weasley took care of the four kids, gave them everything their parents owned, while Harry and Hermione partied it up as ghosts, the best a husband and a wife could ask for.
