Too Much

Hermione Granger collapsed next to his stretcher, sobbing uncontrollably, no one there to comfort her, to tell her it was okay, and that everything was going to be alright. She was alone.

And Draco Malfoy was dead.

Her lover was gone. The person who loved Hermione for everything was gone. Dead. Snatched from her arms.

Part of the roof of Hogwarts caved in, and Draco happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Hermione had run as fast as she could to get to him, to save him. But she was too late. And it was all her fault. She should've never left his side. She should've stayed with him.

So many what ifs, and should've's.

Dear Ginny, Harry, and Ron,

I'm sorry. I really tried. I know I didn't try long, but six months was too long for me to bear to be without him.

Don't try and save me. I don't want you to. I don't care if there's "other people out there." I never wanted anyone but him.

I feel horrible asking for favors after what I'm about to put you through, but I have to. Put our ashes in the same place. Sprinkle our ashes together by the Whomping Willow.

Please don't feel guilty. I did this to myself. And know that I died happily. I died with many memories.

Ginny: take whatever you want out of my closet. I know my clothes were boring, but maybe you'd like to keep a sweater or two. Save me a seat at your wedding.

Harry: thank you for being my friend. For always standing up for me when I couldn't stand up for myself. You've got yourself a keeper, Chosen One. Don't let her go. I promise I'll say hi to your mum, dad, Sirius, Remus, Dobby, Tonks, Moody, Hedwig, Fred, Snape and Dumbledore for you.

Ron: I think I might miss you most (no offense to Harry and Ginny). I'm going to miss the way you ate like a pig, or the way you would always outsmart me in Wizard's chess. Take care of Crookshanks for me, will you? I know you say you hated him, but I found you snuggled up with him a few times.

And thank you all for being my friend, and staying with me these past six months. You guys are going to be the only thing I miss.

Love,

Your bookworm, Hermione Granger
