A/N: OK guys, this might make some of you sad… this is the last chapter. … I was thinking of making a few more, but I'm ending it while I still have your interest. I wouldn't want it to get old. So, I hope you enjoy the last chapter of this fic. By the way, please, you guys, review a LOT on this chapter… I have been getting less and less reviews, and I'd appreciate it if I got more… and if you see the last author's note (the one that will be the end of this chapter) you guys will be able to help me out. I love you all dearly, Kayleigh XD.

Hermione lay in Harry's arms looking up at the stars, relishing the fact that she could be back with Harry. The stars twinkled above her, as she sighed contentedly. She was back with Harry, in her sanctuary, and she tilted her chin up to brush her lips against his own.
Nothing seemed to matter any longer. Ron and Draco still make her laugh, and Snape and McGonagall would still flash through her mind every so often, but she didn't pay much attention to those thoughts. The whole potion had been a mistake, and ever since Harry had forgiven her, she didn't care about anything else but being with him.
"Harry," Hermione breathed, smelling his fresh scent as she made herself more comfortable in Harry's arms. "Come sleep with me tonight. We never spent our first time the correct way, and…"
Harry put a finger on Hermione's lips, rubbing her lower stomach, grinning in her ear. "Let's not talk about last time, Hermione. Let's just think about the present." Harry's words touched Hermione, and she virtually erased the first time from her mind. She would lose her virginity to Harry tonight instead.
Harry and Hermione made their way up to Harry's room, finally reaching the spiral staircases. With a swift move, Harry picked up Hermione in his arms and swept her away, to make love to her once more.
It was the most beautiful experience Hermione had ever felt, and would feel, for a long while. ………………………………………………………………………………………………

Hermione woke up inside of Harry's bed, warm and safe in Harry's arms, but slightly reeking of sex.
"Mm, Hermione," Harry murmured, cracking open an eye and gazing out at Hermione with a smile. "I love you."
"I love you too, Harry," Hermione replied, kissing the tip of Harry's nose. "But as much as I would like to stay with you, here, I never did shower last night, and I'd like to fairly quickly."
Harry gazed up at Hermione, a wicked smile forming on his swollen lips. (Once again, they were swollen from snogging Hermione a fair amount of times in one dreamy night.)
"How about I come with you?" He asked, jumping out of bed stark naked.
Hermione blushed madly, and all she could muster was a slight nod, as she too got out of bed, put a towel on, and made her way to the Head bathroom.
The couple giggled the whole way, each tugging each other's towel off a slight bit more as they approached the tub. After checking the Moaning Myrtle was not lurking around anywhere, the two jumped in the tub.
"Hermione," Harry started, staring into the depths of her chocolate eyes. "You don't regret anything, like last night, or whatever, do you?" He asked seriously, his eyes dancing down to her breasts with longing.
"No regrets, Harry," Hermione said huskily, and the two dove down into the tub, making the most of their lives.

Harry and Hermione's love had blossomed so much over the year, that you would almost never see the two without one another. That's why it was such a shock, when the last Hogsmeade trip of the year approached, and Harry went alone. Hermione, Ron, and Draco (who had come out to everybody about their relationship) were sitting together under the large tree by the lake, pondering Harry's reason for leaving Hermione.
"Listen, Hermione, I don't think you should fret," Ron said reassuringly, petting Draco's blonde head, which was resting in his lap. "Harry is so sprung for you, so that even if he DOES go to Hogsmeade, alone, on the last trip of the year… wait, you actually might have something to fret about…" Ron paused dramatically, his eyes screwed up in thought.
"Oh, Granger, just shut up. If Potty-wee-Potter wants to go off and shag Madam Rosmerta, there is simply nothing you can do about it. He obviously prefers the busty type, and you, dear, are merely," Draco squinted his eyes at Hermione's chest, "you are merely a 34 C. Rosmerta is like a DD, sweetheart."
Ron playfully smacked Draco's gelled down hair, looking over at Hermione with reassurance. "Draco, here, is just being his usual dick self," Ron swore.
"At least my dick is large," whispered Malfoy, to nobody in particular.
"But, WHY would he leave me," Hermione asked, peering out at the lake with eyes that began to water. "We only have, like, 2 more weeks left of school, and this would have been our last chance to do something so nice together. And, after school ends, it's going to be hard. We're probably going to end up working at totally separate locations for the magical community, and then we'll fall out of touch, and…" Hermione couldn't continue to ramble, for the fact that her voice started to quaver as a few silent tears streamed down her face. "I just wanted to spend as much time together as possible. Before our chance is over." Hermione gave a quiet sob, and stormed out of the courtyard, running to the library, her only outlet.
"Why does she have her panties all twisted. Isn't it obvious? Any fool could have guessed!" Malfoy said, staring in Hermione's wake with evident surprise.
"Shh, Draco," Ron cooed, gazing at him as he planted a kiss. "She'll find out soon enough." ………………………………………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………………………………………………………
The next few days went past in a blur. Hermione had confronted Harry as soon as he had gotten back.
"Sorry, love, the reason I couldn't take you was because it was a secret job opportunity. I was offered a job as an auror for after Hogwarts, and they wanted me to come alone. My whole life is mapped out for me now, and I know what I'm going to do after Hogwarts. This is such an incredible time for me." Harry smiled broadly, with pride in his voice.
"Oh Harry," Hermione smiled, giving him a giant hug and kissing his forehead. "I'm so proud of you," she whispered, tears streaming down her cheeks. But for once, they were tears of joy. ………………………………………………………………………………………………

Alas, the final day of school had arrived. Tomorrow, all of the Hogwarts students would be filing out of the school, and all the seventh years would have to start planning on how to make a life for themselves. Hermione shuddered at the thought, and Harry, thinking she was cold, wrapped a shaking arm around her.
"Cold, Hermione?" Harry asked, avoiding her gaze, as beads of sweat dropped down from his forehead. Even though he looked that way, Hermione still thought of his appearance as gorgeous.
"You must be thinking about tomorrow too, Harry." Hermione smiled knowingly, resting a confident hand on his arm. "I know exactly how your feeling, Harry, don't worry."
"Actually, that isn't really what's making me feel so nervous right now. Um, Hermione, I know you probably want to get some sleep, seeing as the feast has made us all deliciously full and tired. But, would you mind following me?"
Hermione looked up at Harry, not knowing what to expect. She had imagined that the two of them would cuddle, and sleep together the last night of school, relishing each other's presence as long as they could.
"Well, sure, Harry…" Hermione said questioningly, allowing Harry to cover the two up with his invisibility cloak, with shaking hands. He looked utterly terrified as the two swept their way across the grounds, past Hogsmeade, and up a hill where the moon and stars were twinkling above them. Hermione looked over, the view taking away her breath. The lake sparkled beneath them, and branches blew in the breeze silently, yet beautifully.
"Harry… this is… it's so beautiful. Is this why you wanted to bring me up here? Because, if it is, it's… amazing." Hermione, beaming, turned around to look at Harry, ready to plant a huge kiss on his lips, thinking that this was even better than a warm and cozy bed with Harry. But, Harry was staring at Hermione, transfixed, with a look up utmost terror.
"Hermione, I lied to you." Harry stuttered.
Hermione turned back around sharply, her hair whipping out behind her, as her eyed grew wide. This couldn't be happening to her. She thought their relationship had hit a paramount point, where nothing could go wrong. Was she really mistaken?
"Harry…" Hermione started, only to be interrupted by Harry.
"When I went into Hogsmeade, I wasn't really out because of a job offer… in the end, somebody came and found me and offered the job, which I accepted, but I was initially out for another reason. I found this place when I was done, and decided here was the perfect place."
He looked out at the phenomenal scenery, and turned to face Hermione, putting his hand into the depths of his pocket.
Hermione's hand flew to her mouth immediately. "Could it be?"
Harry's hand withdrew, clutching a small piece of parchment. Hermione's shoulders sagged slightly. What had she really been expecting?
"Hermione… take a look at this, please." Harry whispered, putting his hand it Hermione's hand letting go of the paper.
Hermione looked skeptically at Harry, and slowly unfolded the parchment. What she saw made her gasp.
"It's all yours, too," Harry said sheepishly, looking up at Hermione through his emerald eyes.
"Oh, Harry… it's… it's… PERFECT!" Hermione screeched, running up to Harry and throwing her arms around him, as he twirled her around. For the parchment showed one picture, of a marvelous flat, located right by the ministry of magic, and Hogsmeade, her exact dream-flat she had described to him in her forwarded email.
But then Harry started to shake uncontrollably. He gazed at Hermione, and planted a long, passionate kiss on her lips, looking at her solemnly.
"Hermione… there's one more thing I have to show you."
His gaze never leaving hers, he slowly got down on one knee, and took Hermione's hand in his, his eyes never parting from hers.
"Hermione, you've been everything to me since I came to Hogwarts. Even though we've only become intimate with each other this year, my heart has longed for you, for your every touch, since I can remember. You've been my shoulder to weep on, and my inspiration through the thick and the thin. With that said," Harry slowly reached into his pocket one last time, this time pulling out a very small box. "Hermione, my love… will you marry me?"
With one swift movement, he had opened the box to reveal a single diamond ring, sparkling and shimmering like the stars above their heads.
Tears started to stream down Hermione's cheeks, as she wept with happiness, looking at Harry with love in her eyes.
"Oh, Harry… YES, yes, I will!" Hermione leaped into Harry's arms after he had placed the engagement ring on her delicate finger, and he carried her all the way back to their common room, up the stairs to his dormitory, laughing, shrieking, and crying all the way there.
"All I can hope is that you wouldn't find living in that flat with me once more." Harry smiled, beaming at his wife-to-be.
As a response, Hermione slowly stripped Harry of his shirt, whispering in his ear, "I would love nothing more."
