It was the please that did him in, in the end

"I cant let you get hurt" Harry Whispered, it sounded like every word was being ripped from his body "I could never live with myself if something were to happen to you, it would be my fault"

"Harry, you would never do anything to hurt me" Hermione whispered softly moving closer to him, in silent reassurance.

"No, no intentionally no never, but unintentionally I could and do everyday" he said bowing his head until his chin was sitting on his chest. "Just being near me puts you in mortal danger and now that were involved you just become voldermorts number one target below me"

"I'm already in danger just being your friend "She asked pulling him closer with the arm that she was still holding him with. "Were all in danger where at war Harry, every single one of us"

"just being close to me is the most dangerus place to be in the war for not just you hermione but for everyone here" Harry gustured with a sweep of his hand incompesing the room "He will do anything to get weaken me and the best way he has to do that is killing the ones i love especially you " Harry said while pulling her closer to him so that he could look in too her eyes "he's done it before and taken pleaser in it, killing people close to me as i watch"

Looking into his eyes Hermione saw the truth, the truth that had been staring her in the face for the longest time, he love her.

"I have to leave Hermione" Harry whispered resting his forehead against hers "I don't want to, expectably not now know that I finally have you, but i have to there is no other choice"

Tears were running down Hermione's face and falling onto Harry's crisp white shirt.

"It is the only way for me to protect you" He whispered kissing away her tear tasting there salty wetness against his lips "The only way i can keep you safe"

Hermione knew in that instant that she would let him go without a fight.

"I can't do this without knowing that your safe and out of danger" Harry ran his hands up and down her back in an attempt to calm her fears.

She pulled away from him and looked him in the eye

"When will you go" she asked "where will you go"

"As soon as possible if not sooner" he answered "and i don't know were I will go and ever so it would be better for you and everyone not to know where i was"

"I suppose we should start packing for you" Hermione whispered as she turned from him and began to move towards the door, every step that took her father away from him shatter her heart one piece at a time.

"Hermione, you can't let anyone know that I'm going until after I'm gone" Harry said having not moved from the spot in which they had been standing together.

"i understand" Hermione Said Huskily tears clogging her throat as she continuing to walk out of the sitting room and down the hall towards the stairs, all the while knowing that harry was only to steps behind her.

When they reached the Harry's room Hermione just stood in front of the door unable to move, Harry reached around her and opened the door adhering her in.

it was the numbest that she had ever felt but also the most alive she knew that as she watched him walk past her and towards his closet that she couldn't let him leave without letting him know how she felt but she knew that she couldn't telling him without weighting his soul down even more then it already was.

With all the pent up emotion that had been wellingly for the past 7 years hermione crossed the room pulling Harry into a passionate kiss.

Harry was shocked at first but as he felt hermione backing them up to his four poster bed he knew that he needed this, just to be close to her, just to touch her, to worship her before he left knowing he would never return the same if he did return at all.

As she stood on the top step of Grimmould place Hermione felt like her heart was being ripped out of her chest, she watched harry walk down the steps and away from her for maybe that last time.

"Harry" she called out to him but didn't move, he turned and looked at her "I'll be right here waiting for you"

And with aloud pop he was gone.

Hermione's legs felt like jelly as she walked back into Grimmould place thinking that she was alone until she heard foot steps behind her, she turn to see Ron standing in the hallway with her.

"He's gone then?" Ron asked his face full of concern "I knew this day would come I just didn't relies he wouldn't say goodbye"

"He wanted to Ron but he knew you would try to convince him not to go" Hermione whispered not looking at him "He wrote you a letter though explaining his reasons"

"That I bloody well would have" Ron shouted at her "how could you let him go Hermione?"

The shouting had brought many of the order down to see what the noise was all about

"What's going on Ron?"Luna asked with Adam in her arms

"Harry's gone" was all Ron said back

"Where?" Mrs. Wesley asked

"to fight Voldermort" Hermione said before she started up the stairs and went into Harry's room which she had now moved into, she could hear all the voices and didn't care she locked the door and went over to Harry's bed and fell into a restless sleep
