Epilogue

Hermione

Looking out of the window on the hovercraft, all I could think of was the deaths. Seamus, Kim, Claire, Chico, even Alpin. All these people dead from these barbaric games, and I was juts barely lucky enough to survive.

"Hermione!" I heard my name as I was led out of the hovercraft some time later.

I looked up and a tired smile came on my face. "Ron."

I jogged up to him and hugged him, not able to prevent the tears from sliding down my face.

"Oh Merlin Hermione, I've missed you so much."He breathed, taking a deep breath and I pulled back, swearing I could hear a sob racking his chest.

"Oh Ron." I sighed.

He smiled and I looked over to see the happy faces of the rest of my schoolmates. "Harry." I hugged him too, even after Ron and I did start dating, Harry still remained a close friend to the both of us.

"I think he was about to break the screen on about ten different occasions." Harry chuckled, jabbing a finger towards Ron.

After the excitement for that moment died down I was allowed to see my parents, clean up, then go to the Gryffindor tower for a celebration.

"Great job Hermione!" Lavender congratulated me before going off to mingle with the other people.

I smiled at the people, trying not to wear my tired expression before I saw someone sitting in a chair facing the window.

I cautiously walked over and saw Dean sitting there, just staring outside as if the party wasn't even happening. "Dean?" I cautiously asked, knowing that he was thinking of Seamus. I couldn't help but wonder if he was bitter towards me that I lived and Seamus didn't.

"Hermione." I heard him answer.

"I really am sorry." I told him, sitting down in front of him.

He sighed before finally turning his head to look at me. "It's not your fault. I just wish I could have… been there for him." He gave me sad eyes, possibly sadder than some of the people that were in the actual arena.

He shook his head before turning back to the outside. "I wish I could have too." I gave him a hug which he did return before I began retreating to my room.

I plopped down on the bed, looking around the room and feeling the covers of my bed. All so… homey.

"You've made it." I whispered. "You're home."

Author's Note- Thank you all so much for reading and reviewing! I believe that this one is the best out of all my stories, so thank you all!

Thanks to obsessivegirl73, HarryPotterFanGirl, bluemickey22, , HUNTING DESTINY, Ashley Cullen Emmett's Wife, Arcticmist, and Joh!

Please all review this last Prologue and even those who don't usually!

Since this is the end I'll suggest to you one story I've already started, and another I have just begun. (Some of my earlier ones are really bad, don't read them! Haha.)

The one I've already begun is called The Seventh Year.

The Golden Trio missed their seventh year. What happened to the students that remained at Hogwarts when Death Eaters took over? Read the fight to survive in the school that everyone thought of as a second home... when it turned into an utter nightmare.

The one I've just begun is called Witchcraft.

Being wandless and dropped to the bottom of a lake in a completely different time period is NOT fun. I was accused, trailed, and now put to the test. Even if I do survive, that names me guilty. All of this just because of a little magic.

Okay, thanks again and for listening to my babble! Hope you all continue to read my other stories!
