I stood in front of the mirror, gazing at my reflection. What had I become? I was about to leave the man that loved me for another…
I was a woman in love…forever love.
I ran my hands over the full skirt of my dress, which was now hanging back on its hanger. It was a shame that it would never be worn…
I sighed as I walked to the door and, before turning off the light, looked the small room over. I closed the door quietly behind me and walked down the hall to where he was. Trembling slightly, I got down on my knees and slid a thick envelope, his name written neatly across the front of it, under the door. I then turned and walked towards the side door. Just as I was leaving, I heard the church bells begin to ring and music begin to play. Breathing deeply I forced myself to keep moving…what I was doing was far better than what would happen if I didn't.
I got into my car and drove away…crying for him…for what I was doing to him…his soul, his heart.
And I never looked back.

Ron looked at Harry in confusion…where was the bride?
"Where is she?" Ron hissed, looking over the heads of everyone else in attempts to see the back of the church from all the way in the front.
"Oh my god," Harry murmured, looking suddenly sick. "Bloody hell!"
"What?" Ron asked looking over at Harry.
"I-She…I've got to go!" Harry exclaimed suddenly, and, bumping into several people, ran down the aisle and out of the church.

"Hermione!" Harry called as he walked into his flat. "Hermione!?"
"Harry?" Hermione sat up groggily on the couch.
"Hermione…you…you read it?" Harry asked, swallowing the lump in his throat.
"Yes," Hermione whispered after a minute.
"I-I'm sorry, so sorry," Harry bowed his head, regret in his voice.
"Are you really?" Hermione asked, resting her hand against his cheek.
"No," Harry replied almost inaudibly.
"Then neither am I," she said softly, and Harry raised his head.
"Wha-"
"Harry…I-You were right…in the letter. I love Jacob…I do…but, I'm in forever love with you."
"I'm sorry I ruined your wedding…and hurt Jacob; but I love you, and I needed you to know that. I had to have you know that. You're the reason I live…and if I had just given you up, without ever attempting anything, I don't think I could've lived with myself," Harry smiled, rubbing the back of her hand with his thumb.
"I love you, Harry. I love you," Hermione hugged him, finally feeling what had been missing her entire life. "You are my soul, my heart, my forever."
Harry leaned down and gently kissed her, such a large range of emotions running through him. Then, suddenly something dawned on Harry.
"Hermione? How did you know it was me? I never signed that letter."
"I didn't know…but I knew that only one person could ever sing the song in my soul back to me," Hermione replied, "and it was you…it always was and always will be. Forever."
