The characters are J.K. Rowling's. The letters they write are mine.


Tears immediately sprang to Hermione's eyes as she read Ron's letter. She sighed deeply and began to write:

"Dear Ron,

I understand.

Love,

Your Dearest 'Mione.

P.S. I'll love you forever."

She turned around, and Ron was standing there.There were tears in his eyes. When he saw the tears in hers, it nearly tore him apart. Still he stood, looking intently at her.

Wordlessly, Hermione handed him the piece of parchment. She looked away.

He read it.

"Forever?" was his only reply. Hermione looked back at him.

"Forever." Her voice did not waver.

Suddenly he came to her. He pulled her into his arms, and he held her tight. Her breath caught in her throat, and she couldn't believe what was happening.

He pulled away slowly, and he kissed her. Just like he used to, with soft lips and gentle motion. She melted into his arms all over again, and he cherished the moment. He ended it slowly, and they let the kiss linger for a moment.

"Okay," he said softly, kissing her again. "Forever."


A/N: Okay, all, that really is the end. Hope you enjoyed it!
