Aight, here be Chapter 8! Only 2 chapters after this badboy! Sorry it's so short, but I'm just to get to the end! I want that sense of accomplishment that comes with finishing a fic lol!
Dawn trickled from between the closed curtains. Fred woke up, and looked down at Hermione's sleeping form. He contemplated just sneaking away, but decided that would be a piss poor excuse for his farewell.
They might never see each other again, he didn't know, and he wanted to at least say goodbye.
He peppered kisses from her temple to the bottom side of her chin, waking her up slowly.
Hermione's eyes fluttered open and she rolled over to look at him.
"Morning," she said softly with a small smile.
Fred pecked her lips, "Morning my love."
Hermione blushed then looked at him with sorrow in her eyes, "Is it time for you to go?"
"Almost," Fred said morosely.
"Almost is enough time for me," Hermione said before kissing him deeply.
This time, the sex was slower, more intimate.
Hermione mewled his name, he gasped hers as they entwined fingers together as they made love.
A rarity, they hit their climax together at the same time.
After basking in their mutual bliss, Fred made to move out of the bed.
Hermione wrapped her body around his, "Just one more minute. Please."
Fred kissed her head and obliged. He spent more than one minute in her arms before she begrudgingly released him.
He slowly got dressed, and as he was about to put on his shirt, Hermione rose from the bed in her naked glory and hugged him one last time.
Fred pecked her on the lips and pulled on his shirt.
Hermione threw on a robe Fleur had let her borrow for her stay and tied it at her waist.
She followed Fred down the stairs and to the kitchen, where Fleur was the only one up, sitting at the table with a mug of coffee.
Fleur gave the couple a sad smile, "I made some coffee, I have to go mugs in the cabinet if you want any Fred."
He shook his head, "I'm fine. I truly must get going. I can't keep lollygagging even though I want to."
He walked to the front door, Hermione following him like a lost puppy, tears in her eyes.
Before he walked through the door, he turned and pressed his lips against her forehead, "I'll see you soon love."
And with that, he went through the door, closing it behind him, walked beyond the boundary, and disapperated.
Tears welled in Hermione's eyes as she retreated to the kitchen where Fleur handed her a mug of strong coffee.
Hermione drank it silently as Fleur kept her in her peripheral vision.
"I'm here if you want to talk." Fleur said quietly.
Hermione forced a smile, "I'm okay Fleur. Thank you though."
They sat in silence as the rest of the house slowly woke up.
Everyone gave Hermione a sad smile as they came downstairs and saw that Fred was gone.
After a bit, Harry interrupted Hermione's thoughts and went into the plan to break into Gringotts.
Which is exactly what they did.
In a matter of days, they found themselves back at their home away from home, Hogwarts.
Where Hermione found herself running into Fred's arms as he emerged from the portrait after being summoned by Potterwatch.
And so the battle began.
