Harry/Hermione, takes place after HBP, and Harry has dueled with Voldemort.

Hermione stared out the window of her one-room apartment. Her life had taken a dive after Harry had disappeared. She had stood there, screaming his name, begging for him to come back, while the Death Eaters searched for their master. Both had disappeared. Nobody knew what had happened.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flashback
Harry and Voldemort faced one another, looks of pure hatred etched into both faces. The Death Eaters stood behind Voldemort, while Harry's friends and supporters stood behind him. Curses were flying everywhere, as both sides tried to help either Harry or Voldemort. Already, Ron lay wounded on the ground, Lucious (A/N spelling?) Malfoy lay dead, as well as other nameless Death Eaters. Hermione screamed as a curse his Neville, and he fell gracefully to the ground, dead. He was the first to fall.
Suddenly, Harry and Voldemort's wands connected, as they had in the graveyard so many years ago. They both struggled to push the beads of light to the others wand, and Harry succeeded. But, unlike last time, when the beads hit Voldemort's wand, both wizards disappeared. Hermione just screamed, Harry come back, Harry come back, Harry come back…

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hermione sighed. She needed to go to St. Mungo's to visit Ron, who was still recovering from that fateful battle 2 months ago. He felt better, but whatever curse had hit him must have been of Voldemort's invention, because it had not ever been seen. But Hermione couldn't work up the energy to leave her house that day. Memories taunted her, of the last time Harry had been here. And like everyday, she had woken up from her usual nightmare of Harry crying for her to help him. And like everyday, she had cried for him.
She sighed again and apparated to St. Mungo's.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hermione! How are you?" Ron asked.
"Good, I guess. But then again, I haven't been good since, you know." Hermione said.
"Oh. You mean when Harry disappeared?" Ron said, unaware of how upset that would make Hermione. That was on of the reasons Hermione never visited Ron, because he didn't seem to care as much that Harry had disappeared. Ron looked alarmed as Hermione's eyes filled with tears.
"Hey, hey! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you. I'm sorry." Ron said.
"I have to go now," Hermione said, and ran out of the room, then apparated home.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry looked at Hermione's house. He hadn't been able to return for so long… he missed her so much. Voldemort was dead, and the world saved. But it wasn't worth it without Hermione. But the fight had taken a week… and then Harry couldn't find a way out of… wherever they were.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flashback
Harry screamed with hatred of 17 years, "AVADA KEDAVRA!", and watched in fascination as Voldemort's dead body fell to the ground. All his work, all his power, had paid off. He had avenged his parents and saved the wizarding world. He looked around for the first time since arriving a week ago to see where the wands had taken them. Astonished, he saw Fawkes sitting on a perch in the corner of the room, softly cooing. They were in his… house! Then, even more astonishingly, he began to talk.
"Harry, you have defeated a great evil. When your wands, containing my feather, were forced against each other for the second time, you were transported to my home. The easy part was getting here. The hard part is getting out…"
End Flashback
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry still didn't remember how he had gotten out. All he knew is that he was free, and he had thought of how hard he missed Hermione before he was out. He slowly walked up to the window of the house he and Hermione had once shared and peered in. She wasn't there. His heart sank, then she suddenly appeared, sobbing, and collapsed on the couch. He could barely hear her moaning, "Harry, Harry, Harry…" and then he ran up to the door.
He tried the handle, and it was locked. Hermione spun around in alarm when she heard the noise. Harry pulled out his key and opened the door. As Hermione heard the key, she thought to herself,
Only Harry has another key…
