Their Way

My first fanfic. My first "creative" writing ever, actually. A long, slow, sweet story about how our favorite hero and heroine, Harry Potter and Hermione Granger, get together. Set immediately after Book 5 and started before Book 6 was published... seeing it through to the end now. An alternate Year 6, of sorts.    There are no dastardly plots here... no convenient plot devices introduced at the last second (such as unbeatable wands). It's just a story about how two clueless teenagers realize their feelings and finally admit them, thereby allowing themselves to fulfill their destinies. But there might be a few surprises along the way.     Chapter 39. You Only Have 009 Lives: A Decision You May Not Live To Regret.    MI6 Special Agent 009 smiled in grim satisfaction. “Sorry, Voldy, time’s up,” he said calmly, then turned his attention back to his weapon. He looked down the barrel and made sure the sights were lined up true: the soft, most vulnerable part of the Auror Kara Thrace’s neck, behind which he knew was hidden Voldemort’s head.     “I’m so sorry,” he said to the beautiful witch one last time, and pulled the trigger.
