The final war
3. It
Hey guys! Last Chapter! I can’t believe it! One of my stories is actually finished! Whoo hoo! Okay yes I know, Secrets is finished but that was finished way before I actually put it on the Porktey so it doesn’t count!
It’s over
Dumbledore looked at the note in his hands then looked out of the window to look at the stars with a tear rolling down his face.
“Oh Harry.” Dumbledore whispered then he turned and headed out of his room toward the Great Hall.
A figure stumbled down the path, they fell and coughed as they landed on their hands with a groan.
They only had one thought in mind: Get to Hogwart.
Dumbledore climbed the stairs to the teacher’s table, he looked at all the students with a sadden Heart, he saw Hermione looking up at him with a hopeful look that nearly broke his heart.
“Students, Teachers, I have received news, Voldemort” Gasp! “Is dead.” Everyone started cheering but Dumbledore lifted a hand to silence them.
“What about Harry? When is he coming back!” One of the Hufflepuff demanded, Dumbledore looked down then back up.
“I am so sorry to tell you this.” Dumbledore said, his voice cracking. Hermione felt her heart breaking, she knew what was happening next. “Harry didn’t survive it, the fight took so much out of him.” Dumbledore explained.
“NO!” Hermione screamed as she stood up with tears running down her face, everyone was stunned to their core, they couldn’t move at all, the Boy who lived is dead.
“I’m Sorry.” Dumbledore repeated, Hermione shook her head in denial as she stormed out of the Great Hall and ran up to the Gryffindor dorm, she locked the door so that no one could enter the room, she was sitting in front of the fire with tears running down her face, her heart breaking.
How could Harry die? He was the most bravest, special person to live and he’s dead? No, she didn’t believe it, there was something inside of her saying that he was still alive, she knew it.
They were breathing heavily and harshly, they needed to get to Hogwart, they needed her not to give up. The school loomed ahead of them and they sighed with relief, they hurried up to the door but their strength weakened, causing them to lean again the door, trying to regain their strength. Soon they felt a lot more stronger and opened the door only to hear a gasp and see the person they’ve been waiting for…
Hermione got off the couch as she wiped her tears with the sleeve of her robe. She exited the common room and headed down the stairs, she saw the front door of Hogwart opening, she gasped when she saw the figure stumble in, she felt the tears rolling down her face one more.
“Harry…” Hermione whispered at first, not willing to believe that he was real, she moved toward him, he was leaning on the door, holding him up while he watched her.
His green eyes was filled with pain and love, his hair was more messier and wild than usual, his grey top was ripped and there were a few blood on his top, his black jean had a rip on one of the knees and another on the other leg on his thigh.
Hermione lifted up a hand and placed it on his cheek, she gasped when her hand met contact with his cheek, proving to her that he was still alive.
Harry sighed as he leaned into her hand and placed a kissed on her palm.
“Hi Mione.” Harry whispered.
“Harry!” Hermione shouted as she wrapped her arms around his neck, she sobbed into his shoulder, Harry wrapped his arms around her and closed his eyes in relief as he pulled her closer to him.
The Great Hall doors burst open, they all looked at the couple.
“Oh my lord!” Mc Gonagall gasped as her hand went to her heart.
“How on earth…” Snape began, everyone was stunned, they had just heard that Harry had died now he was standing right there, before their very eyes, enveloped in Hermione’s embrace.
Hermione pulled away.
“How?” Hermione asked.
“Because of you, Mione, it was you. You were the last thing I thought about before the killing curse hit me so My love you for kept me alive.” Harry explained, Hermione had more tears running down her face.
“I love you too Harry.” Hermione exclaimed, she kissed him gently on the lips.
Harry kissed her back and they both hugged once more. Everyone looked at the other then back at the couple.
Finally they all could move on. It was over.
Harry was lying on the hospital bed, he rolled his eyes when he met the white ceiling.
“Thought I would never come back in here again.” Harry muttered as he rolled over, the pain in his side was slowly disappearing and he was grateful for that, it meant that he was able to sleep better but his mind was too busy running to let him go to sleep.
The door opened and Hermione poked her head through, she saw Harry lying on his bed, looking totally frustrated, she giggled lightly as she sneaked over to him.
“Hi Harry.” Hermione greeted, Harry’s head turned toward her and he smiled.
“Hey, what are you doing here?” Harry asked as he sat up in the bed.
Hermione grinned as she sat on the bed, she leaned in and kissed him gently.
“Couldn’t get to sleep without my goodnight kiss.” Hermione teased and Harry smiled as he kissed her once more.
“Is it really over Harry?” Hermione asked, pulling away from Harry. Harry smiled gently as he stroked back her hair.
“Yeah, it is, it’s really over.” Harry stated.
They both smiled and relaxed, they could finally start their lives a new with no danger chasing after them, without them having to look over their shoulders anymore and that pleased them very much.
The End, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. Please review as they make me very happy now it time for me to return to my head-banging stories!
