(This one is gonna hurt yall)

"There's no time, Hermione. I have to do this. I can't let him kill anyone else. I've already lost Harry." It was the Battle of Hogwarts, the final battle. I watched my friends die, my teachers, people I'd grown up with at this school. And no more. Harry was dead, at least that was what I believed. I had to end it, there couldn't be any more death. I was barely holding on to what I had, but I had to keep going. "Please. What about us? Me and Ron need you." She frowned, pain in her eyes as I looked back. "I'm doing this for Harry. For Gryffindor." I look away, as I ran off into the crowd. There was so many screams, bodies scattered the grounds as I ran through, I loved Harry, I never told him, I was terrified to be honest with myself and now it was too late. I'd lost him forever, but that was on me. As I walked through into the Great hall, I realised how much damage had been done. "Fred?" I whispered, he was dead. My heart dropped, as I felt the tears hit my eyes. I looked away, I didn't want to believe it. I didn't want to see it anymore, it was all too painful. "I'm so sorry." I whispered, as I hugged Ron, he cried into my shoulder as I looked back at George, I didn't know what to say. I grab his hand, locking our fingers tightly as he squeezed my hand. It killed me inside that I couldn't save my friends, the people I had called family for all these years. I pulled away from Ron, as I sat beside George. I wrap my arm around him, as he cried.

"I'm sorry, Georgie." I whispered, as he pulled me into his arms, I held him, as I looked back at Fred. I had no words, there was so much pain in my chest, I honestly didn't know what to do anymore. I looked at Molly, as she cradled her son. I stood back, as I went to look around the room, when I saw Remus and Tonks. I take a breath, as I felt a chill in my bones. He was gone, he was really gone. I sat down beside them both, I take their hands in mine, as I sobbed. I didn't have the words, I felt physically sick, the pain inside my heart was growing more seeing my friends dead in front of my eyes. "Y/n." I turn around, as I saw Harry. "Harry." I jump up, as I hugged him tightly. He pulled me in tightly, as I held onto his hair. I didn't want to let him go, I honestly believed he was dead. "I'm here. I'm sorry." He whispered, as I just stayed silent, I shut my eyes. "I was so afraid you were gone." I whispered, "I'm not going anywhere. Promise." I looked up at him with tears in my eyes, he wiped them away. "I'm sorry you had to do this alone." I shake my head. "These people died for us, Harry. Fred, Remus.. Sirius. They did this for us. Remember that." He nodded sadly, as I looked away. I had to be strong. I had to remember what this was about. "Are you going to be okay?" He asked. "I have to be, Harry. We have to avenge their deaths. All of the people who died here today. We will do better." I turn and walk away, as I sighed deeply.

"Y/n, where are you going?" Harry followed after me, but I was so angry that I couldn't stop. "I have to kill him, Harry. I can't do this again, I can't lose anyone else. Hermione and Ron.. I need to keep them alive." He grabbed my arm. "You're in shock. Just breathe. Look at me." I watch his eyes, "We've been friends since the moment we both joined Hogwarts together in our first year, Harry. And I wouldn't change that for the world, but I need you to let me do this. You want this just as much as I do." He looked back, "Not like this." I wished he knew how much I loved him, how far I'd go to prove it too. "You're never going to see the truth, are you?" He seemed confused. "What truth?" I grab his face, kissing him deeply, before I pulled away. "I never break a promise, Potter." I ran outside, I was in so much pain and I felt dizzy, I was covered in cuts, bruises. There was so much blood, I'd never seen anything like it. Someone grabbed my arm, as I looked back. "Draco?" He looked sad. Really sad. "This is all my fault, y/n. I did this. I let those death eaters into school." I looked at him, I wanted to be angry, to blame him. But I knew Voldemort was coming, he was always going to, with or without Draco's help. "You have a chance to end this, Draco. You can help me. Help us. No one has to know the truth, we can come back from this. We can get out. Just help me." He takes a breath. "I'm sorry. I can't do that." Realisation hit me, as I shake my head. "You're a traitor."

"I have to do this, y/n. I'm sorry." He held his wand out to me, as I take a shaky breath. "Over my dead body, Draco Malfoy." He struck me, as he ran away, I fell back, as blood began to pour from my side. "Shit." I whispered, as I pulled myself out of the way. "Y/n!" Harry shouted, as he came beside me. "No! No, who did this to you?" He wrapped his arm around me, "I got in the way, I'm sorry." I whispered, "Please don't die on me, I need you. Please stay with me." I smiled. "I love you." I smiled, before the light faded from my eyes. Forever.

I take a breath, looking around in shock as I hadn't a clue where I was. "Woah." I felt like I was floating, I was real, but I couldn't control what was happening around me. "So glad you could join us." I turn around, "Fred?" He smiled. "Hello again." I hugged him tightly, as I smiled. "Oh my god, you're okay." He grinned, "This is what comes after." I look at him, "This is death? We're both dead?" He gave me that look. "But this is good. This is what happens after, we all get to be together." Harry. I left him, the man I loved the most in the world. "I left Harry." He frowned, "I'm sorry, y/n." He took my hand, as we walked through into a larger room. "Remus!" I ran into his arms, as he held me tightly. "Hello, y/n." He chuckled, as I look at him, I was so glad to see him. "Is Sirius here too?" He turned towards the open fire, Sirius was watching the fire burn, as I walked over to him, slowly. He looked at me, "You- how?" I take his hand. "Draco Malfoy killed me." He frowned. "And Harry?" I look away. "He found me. He begged me to stay.. I couldn't hold on." He gently took my hand. "I missed you, kiddo." I smiled a little. "Me too, Sirius." We both watch the fire crackle and burn, we were all together again, but I couldn't help feeling guilty, knowing that Harry Potter was living a life without me.

(Ouch. Big ouch. I'm sorry LOL.)
