During a war, anything is possible, even that Draco Malfoy came to the bright side. Perhaps, this could be what has changed wizarding world's balance.
Hermione Granger, the perfect know-it-all, was experiencing her firsts: the first book, the first day of school, the first enemy, the first love, and the first kiss. The first loss and the second and the third and so on and on.
As she was experiencing her firsts, she was also experiencing her last times: the last kiss, the last first day of school, the last friend, and the last smile.
Despite everything, she won't give up. She'll fight, and she'll love 'till the end.
