Never Traded Hearts

Summery: But after the "Trio" fights that final battle together Ron starts to question if there is more between Harry and Hermione and asks Harry to switch places with him to find out.

Chapter 1: Winning a Hopeless Battle

"Harry, I love you." Hermione's lips whispered.

"I love you too, Hermione. Take care of Ron."

Harry walked the rest of the way through the wet and dark path leading the way to the moment that will prove if he really is "The Chosen One." It will be the moment whether or not he will remain "The Boy Who Lived." Ron's eyes flew open at the sound of Harry's scream and Hermione's gasp.

"He has to do this on his own." she told herself softly.

"Hermione, what's going on?" Ron said, slowly leaping to his feet.

Tears were running down Hermione's cheeks. Ron pulled her closely to him.

"Hermione, he's going to be fine." Ron said unsurely, looking up that once dark path.

It was now glowing from red to blue.

"I'm so scared for him, Ron."

"Hermione, remember. We've been there for him through our six years at Hogwarts. It's our last year here and he is going to be there."

"Ron, that's it! We've been there for him, and he needs us now. If he has to go then we are going with him."

Hermione grabbed his hand and ran up that same long path Harry run up. When the path came to an end Hermione and Ron found Harry and He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, Voldemort, lying on the ground yards apart from eachother. They ran to his side.

"Hermione, Ron, I told you not to come!"

"No, we are not going to let you fight this alone!" Hermione pushed on.

"How touching! I'll kill you all!" Voldemort siad.

Hermione and Ron went on either side of Harry, and all three gripped their wands with both hands. Everyone yelled the Killing Curse. The lights all met in the middle. They were all evenly matched. Voldemort's blue light and the separate three rows of red lights coming from each person of the "Golden Trio's" wands.

"Why is it not more powerful?" Hermione cried.

"Just keep trying!" Harry yelled.

By the second Hermione, Ron and Harry were getting weaker and weaker, and the blue light was taking over the red light.

"We're not going to win." Ron said shakingly.

"Don't say that!" Hermione yelled.

"Why is this not working?" Harry said with his eyes shut tightly, grinding his teeth.

"We are together. Why is it not helping?" Hermione said, "No, we aren't! Ron, hold your wand and grab a hold of Harry's wand."

He did so and so did Hermione. They put all three wands next to eachother. The red light grew. The sky turned red and over took the blue light completely. Then suddenly all three of them fell to the ground.

Hours later Harry's eyes wiped open.

"Where? What happened." he said.

He looked to his side to see Hermione lying in the bed next to him and Ron on the other side of him. He was in the Hogwarts hospital wing.

"Harry, the war is over."

Harry looked to the foot of his bed. Professor McGonagall was standing there.

"We-we did?"

"Yes."

"I-well. I don't know what exactly to say." Harry stuttered.

"Well, I'm sure you'll be able to say something now; Miss Granger and Mr. Weasley are waking up. Congratulations." McGonagall said then walked out of the Wing.

"We won?" Hermione asked.

"Yes, we won." Harry said calmly.

"Maybe this year at Hogwarts it'll be normal." Ron said.

"Maybe…"

Then the three of the looked at eachother and started to scream things like 'We won!' and 'It's finally over!'
