Looking back, I have this to regret, that too often when I loved, I did not say so.

Hermione and Harry approached the wreckage. Most of the wood had been cleared away, but the cavern had totally collapsed, making it impossible to excavate. A memorial had been put up in honor of the men and women who had died that day. Then there was a special one. One the Weasleys had put up while Harry and Hermione had finally gone to the hospital. Hermione kneeled down in front of it while Harry remained standing, holding onto her hand as they both gazed upon their friend's final resting place. Hermione touched the cool stone, swiping angrily at the tears that were now falling.

"I promised myself I wouldn't cry..." She said to the memorial. "I promised myself I would never let you see me cry. Even when I was eleven, I told myself, 'Never let Ron see you cry.'" She let out a small sob and felt Harry squeaze her hand. "Now you're gone..." She looked around, trying to find the words to say.

"I'm afraid Ron... The thing is I'm pregnant." Harry's hand gave a jerk and Hermione looked up at him. His green eyes were laden with surprise and sorrow. She pulled away from his gaze and turned back to the stone.

"I found out this morning..." She took a deep breath then continued. "I always thought I would get married before I had children, but I'm going to through with it... and I'm going name him Ronald Bilius Weasley Granger." She laughed, despite her self. "Yeah, it's a boy..." She bit her lip. "Look, Ron... I know things were never great between us. This whole thing ended so quickly." She could feel the tears coming again. She looked away, wiping her eyes. "We never got to say goodbye... but... after everything that's happened, I just want you to know that I love you... and that I will always love you." She stood up, letting Harry put an arm around her.

"Ron loved you too..." Harry whispered, his eyes on the memorial. Hermione turned to Harry, a ghost of a smile on her pale features.

"I know..." she turned to the vast desolation. "I know..." She sighed. "Can we go?" Harry nodded. He started to go with her then paused.

"You go on ahead, I'll catch up." Hermione nodded, crossing her arms and started off down the hill. Harry walked back up to the lone stone. He looked down at it for a moment.

"We promised each other that if anything happened, the other would look after Hermione..." Harry gave a short laugh. "Never thought it would be me..." He took a deep breath. "I'll look after her. Her and the baby." With that he turned and started to leave, then stopped again and gave it one last glance. "See you later mate..."

The End...

A/N: Well that it. They said their goodbyes.

PigonQueen: Thanks for reviewing. This was the final chapter.

x-Drama-Queen93-x-: This isn't the only story I'm doing. There's still The Boogyman and Fallen Angels. They have the prospect of ending well.

jayne-ron-leo: I almost started crying, writing this last chapter. I really get into the emotional part of these stories. Sometimes I hate myself for it.

anonymoose: I'm not going to say that I base these stories on my own experiences, even though I might, but I do put all of my heart into writing the characters as realistically as possible.

KittyMojo: I agree. Not all stories have a happy ending.

connieewing: I cried too!

Blood-In-The-Stars: Thanks!

Avanell: You sound like Harry!

Coconut Girl: That would be an interesting sequal. Hermione in Therapy. But no... I've done sequals to every story I've written I don't think I can do another. Sequels are hard to do.

Thanks to all the reviewers! You're the ones who keep me writing!
