Summary: It was the greatest love of their time, and then he went missing. Now she wants to tell her story. Will he ever return?
I read and re-read that letter over and over again that day. I couldn't believe he was gone. I wanted so badly to go to Dumbledore and make him tell me where he was, but he had said that Dumbledore wouldn't not tell me. I didn't know what to do. I was so confused at his actions. Why would he leave right after we had a fight?
I ended up thinking about it all night, not able to find any reason in his sudden actions. I fell asleep late in the morning hours, not waking till mid afternoon. I had hoped it was all a dream but it wasn't. The note was there next to me on my bedside table and the ring was on my finger. I decided to get up, get ready, and go see Dumbledore any way. I hurried along my daily process, and headed towards Dumbledore's office. Since I was head girl I was always aware of the passwords to Dumbledore's office. I was extremely nervous when I got to the stature. I had no idea of what I was going to say when I went up there. Should I barge right on in and demand answers? That's what I would normally do, and well maybe being calm would be a bit more helpful for getting the answers I was in need of. So I went on up with a partial plan of action. I knocked on his office door.
"Come in. Ah Miss Granger, you seem to be right on time. Lemon Drop?"
'Right on time what was he talking about?'
"No? Well then at least take a seat here."
'I looked over to wear his hand was gesturing, and noticed someone standing over by a window.'
"Harry?"
"Well then Miss Granger seems there's some questions your in need of. I'll let Harry answer those for you. Harry?"
'He walked over towards me and took my hand, and leads me towards the door. Looking back at Dumbledore he nodded and we left.'
"I know your angry he said, but I had to do it. I know you want answers and today I'm going to give you as many as possible. What ever you do though, let me say what I have to say. Please."
He went on about so many things. Knowing where Voldemort was, about his powers and how he was so much stronger than Dumbledore, and about most of his training. At the end there was only one thing he hadn't gotten to. The letter… As if knowing what I was getting ready to ask, he answered.
"I know, you want to know about my stunt yesterday. My explanation for that is, it was my test for you. I wanted you to be aware of the fact that at some point, I will be leaving here to go on my mission Hermione. I wanted to make sure you were capable of dealing with that. I knew though that at one point or another you would go and see Dumbledore, although I am thoroughly surprised at how you went about it. I was so startled to see you so calm when you walked in."
At some point he ended up in front of me on his knees looking up at me
"Hermione I love you so much! Everything I said in that letter last night was true. I'm doing this for you, and I'm going to come back to you! When I do leave though I won't tell you like that. I'll make sure I tell you face to face. Hermione?"
"Harry, you can't make that promise to me. What if you don't come back? What if he gets to you first?"
By that time I was crying. Harry was still in front of me on his knees, looking straight into my eyes.'
"I can make that promise and I will make that promise to you. Voldemort knows the prophecy to an extent he knows I have something that he doesn't., but he doesn't know what that is. He won't ever know either! Slowly day by day Hermione he's getting weaker. He's trying so hard to get into my head, and find things out, but he cannot. Do you know why?"
I shook my head no to reply to his question
"Because I have something so much more powerful than he could ever imagine! I have love! Love for you mostly though. Love that runs so strongly through my veins that sometimes I can't control myself around you."
"I love you Harry."
"I love you too!"
So I had gotten most of the answers I was seeking. I didn't get full out answers, but what I got was enough to suffice my curiosity. That was a very long day for me. Trying to process everything Harry had told me was tiring. I knew at some point though that he was going to leave to fight. I made a promise to myself that night after Harry had fallen asleep, I was going to keep the fighting at bay for awhile. I wanted to keep him close not push him away from me, and fighting would definitely do that. He held me all night long. Never once letting go of me.
