"I'm going out to the muggle shops; I'll be back in about 15 minutes." Hermione said.

It was the summer before seventh year at Hogwarts, and Harry, Ron and Hermione were staying at the Leaky Caldron a week before returning to Hogwarts so they could get their supplies.

"OK." Harry and Ron said in unison.

Hermione stepped out into muggle London. She went to the muggle clothes shop to get something to wear that wasn't to short and didn't make her parents uncomfortable. She paid the lady at the cash register after she bought her outfit. She stepped outside when she saw a man who was watching her intently.

"Come here." He said. Hermione walked on, ignoring him.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, come back here!" He yelled to her. Hermione picked up her pace. All of the sudden, he was right next to her. He grabbed her arm and dragged her into an ally.

"Le'me go!" Hermione yelled. He, of course, didn't let go.

"Give me your purse." He said. Hermione wasn't about to give him that, it had her wand. The man pulled out his gun.

"Give me your purse." He demanded again. Hermione started to pull out her wand.

BANG

Hermione gasped. The bullet had hit her right next to her heart, an unusually cruel shot since it would take many long minutes for her to die slowly.

"I don't want to die alone," she thought.

"Hermione." Ron muttered.

"What?" Harry asked.

"Hermione" Ron muttered again. He ran out the door.

"Oh shi-, Ron!" Yelled Harry, grabbing his wand and running after Ron.

>> >> >> >> >> >>

Ron was running, he didn't know where, but he knew that he would know when he got there.

"Hermione!" yelled Ron. He heard a faint cough. "Hermione!" He ran over to her.

"Ron?" Hermione said faintly. Ron was alarmed at how faint her voice was and how much blood was pooled around her.

>> >> >> >> >> >>

Harry was running, desperately trying to find Ron and Hermione, afraid something bad had happened. Harry slowed down, people were staring and if he ran he was likely to look over them.

Harry heard low voices and looked down a dark ally to see the horrifying sight of Hermione and Ron, surrounded by pools of blood.

"Ron… tell my family…" she coughed again.

"No, you tell them."

"Ron," she muttered, she knew she was about to die and so did Ron. Ron held her up against his chest, trying to get her to breathe.

"I'll tell them" he said, despairingly.

"R-Ron, I… I love you" she said with her last breath.

"I love you too." She was gone. Ron knew it the second it happened.

Hermione was dead.

Ron looked up to see Harry looking at them in shock with tears in his eyes, realizing his own eyes were watery.

"She's gone."
