Our Always: Harry and Hermione

Chapter13:A letter for me

   Its been a week science Harry and Ron left and today Lavender Teddy and I are all going back to school. Instead of Lavender moving back into the Gryffindor dorms I asked the Professor in a letter if she could stay with me in my tower. We made a schedule so that someone was always with Teddy in the tower. Draco would be with him for his two free periods in the morning, then Neville for one, then Luna for two, then we all have lunch up here, then Neville for one, then Lavender for two, then I finally have my free period at the end of the day. That night after supper I was in Harry's room while Lavender was staying in mine. Just as I finished putting teddy to sleep, I heard crying from upstairs so I walked out of the room and ran upstairs. I looked in the bedroom then in the bathroom. Lavender was on the floor crying her eyes out.

     "Lav whats wrong, are you okay?"I ask. I go beside her and sit on the floor. She gathers herself up a bit before she begins to talk.

    "I miss Ron so much and ever since we started dating I feel so bad that he left you for me. I mean your an amazing witch and your lucky to be with Harry. When he looks at you I can see the love in his eyes. Ron and I are the same way  but how is it that you can be away from the both of them and still be fine?" She asked me. I looked at her then at the tiled floor.

    "I think of it this way: If they didn't love us they wouldn't do it to protect us. Harry and Ron want the best future for us and them. Lavender, Ron loves you so much that he is willing to die for your safety. And knowing Harry he won't let anything happen to any of them because he knows that when they're done they have something to look  forward to coming back to." I lookat her and give her a hug. I went back downstairs and into my room. I pulled Teddy's crib close to the bed and got in bed myself. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

      "AAAAAHHHHH!" I scream waking up. I look over to where Harry would normally be lying next to me. I hear Teddy stir so I rocked the crib for him to go to sleep. If I was having these nightmares I could just imagine Harry. I look over to my night stand, turn the lamp on, and see the photo book Hagrid gave Harry at the end of first year. I sit up and pick it up. I flip through the first few pages and see pictures of his parents and us in our first year. As I went on I could see Harry put in things of his own. At the end of the pages with pictures were more blank pages. Just as was putting the book away a paper fell out of the end of the book. I picked it up and turned it over. It was a letter. It was addressed to:The one Harry will marry. I look down at my ring and know that this is for me. I open it up as carefully as possible. Inside it said:

   Dear whom ever Harry has asked to be his wife,
      Thank you for loving Harry as much as we would have. If you have received this letter that means that we have died and he has lived. We know that his life might have not been easy and you are the one that makes him happy. We hope that he makes you happy as well. Just know that we will watch over you wherever we are.
      Love
       James and Lily
           Potter

     When I finished the letter I was in tears. Harry gave this to me on Christmas Eve. He must have gotten the letter from Sirius or Hagrid and left it in here for me to find. I look at my ring and give it a kiss. "I promise."
