1 year ago.
"So this is it, eh 'Mione?"
"What do you mean?"
"This is He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named final breaths?"
"Possibly if Harry wins."
"When Harry wins." He corrected me. I couldn't help but smile. "You were right 'Mione."
"Hmm?"
"Ginny did know. After you and Ron and Harry left, she told me."
"Oh."
"Hermione." He hasn't said my full name since he broke up with me.
"Yes?"
"I love you."
"Why are you saying this Fred?"
"I have a bad feeling."
"Don't say this. A war is about to happen Fred!"
"I know that 'Mione. I just wanted to say it. If.."
"DON'T YOU DARE SAY IT FRED."
"Ok. My lips are sealed."
"Hermione. We need you." Harry said.
"Goodbye Fred. I never stopped loving you. I hope you realize that."
I walked with Ron and Harry. Was Ron who she was supposed to be with? Or was it a different Weasly? Fred? I just don't know.
After me and Ron kissed we went back upstairs. To the Great Hall where all the dead had been laid. I heard Ginny crying. Followed by George, Mrs. and Mr. Weasly, Fleur, Bill, Charlie and lastly Percy. I never knew Percy could cry. Wait. Shit. No. No. No. Fred's not crying. Fred. My Fred. I rush over to Ginny just to see my worst nightmare.
There he is. The love of my life. Dead. With a smile on his face. Fred. Fred...no.
"NO!" I scream. "NO. PLEASE. NO. FRED!" George broke down into more tears. He came over and gave me a hug. I wouldn't let go. He looks just like him. Oh my Fred. Why. Why did you leave me. Why did you leave me in this pain.
"Fred. Come back. Please. Come back. I love you. I never stopped. Fred." I whispered. George looked at me funny.
"What was that Hermione?"
"I guess I should say it now. Two years ago Fred kissed me. We started a secret relationship which ended last year. He...he didn't want you guys to lose Ron and Fred because of what was going on. Fred..."
"'Mione? What does that make us?"
"Ron. Forget us. Don't you see how hurt I am. Please. Just walk away."
I couldn't stop crying. He's gone. Forever. Fred. My Fred.
Days later with everyone's funeral I just sat at his. George came over and put his hands around my waist.
"He did love you."
"I know."
"I wish he was here."
"He is here."
"How?"
"You."
"And you. 'Mione, let's go home."
