Case of A Dead Heart

by IWriteToSurvive

Hermione attends a Weasley wedding and tries to drink her sorrows away while hiding her illness. Fred Weasely was getting married, but not to her. Luna knows Hermione's secret and tries desperately to make sure she doesn't lose hope. With no options left, Hermione leaves Luna with one final task and the ghost of a smile. Her only regret? He never knew the truth. (I own nothing)

Chapter 3: Harry

Dear Harry,

Thank you so much for being the brother that I never had. I don't know what I would've done without you in my life. (Probably would've got a lot more studying done and gotten into much less trouble.) You are my best friend, Harry, and I just want you to know how much I love you.

Now, I know you, Harry. Don't you dare blame my death on yourself. My death is my fault and my fault alone. Don't dwell on me for too long.

Take care of Ron. Be good to Ginny and never let a moment pass you by. Give Teddy lots of hugs and kisses from me and make sure he never forgets what his mother and father died for. Life is precious, Harry. Promise me you always do your best to be happy and live the life you deserve? I did not fight by your side in that war for you to be unhappy!

I've decided to leave everyone a little something from me as a memento. I know it's not much, but I've left you my favorite picture of you, Ron, and me from our first year. I knew out of everyone you would appreciate it the most.

Take care, Harry.

Love from,

Hermione

Harry opened his envelope again to retrieve the photograph. He smiled down at it as tears escaped his eyes once more. Harry bent low over Hermione and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead; his final goodbye to the sister he never knew he wanted.
