Chapter 1-

Harry glared as another photographer shoved a camera in his face. Merlin, would it never stop? He was about to reprimand the man when he noticed an Unspeakable stepping out of the floo and joining the multitude of witches and wizards in the Ministry's atrium. He recognized almost immediately, even with the Unspeakable robes obscuring her identity.

He grinned and made his way through the large crowd toward his friend. She must have seen him because she stopped and waited for him to catch up with her.

"Hermione." He greeted when he finally reached her.

She nodded and motioned for him to follow. He had forgotten that they were not allowed to speak while wearing their unspeakable robes. He silently followed her into the lift and allowed her to press the button for the correct floor. He'd taken the morning off of work to come and speak with her. It felt like a long time since he'd seen her.

Of course, since she'd joined the Unspeakables a few months ago she'd been very busy. Hermione always threw herself into her work. He missed her and he had something very important to speak to her about.

When they arrived at ninth floor she wordlessly stepped out and he followed. As soon as the lift closed behind them she finally removed her hood.

"Harry" She said happily as she hugged him. "How did you recognize me?"

He smirked. "Come on Hermione, I could recognize your determined walk anywhere."

She rolled her eyes but continued to smile. "So, would you like to come to my office?"

"Am I allowed?" He asked.

Hermione laughed. "I don't see why not."

She turned and he followed her down a long narrow hallway. He recognized it immediately. It felt strange to return to the Department of Mysteries after all this time.

A few minutes later she opened the door to a large room that he vaguely remembered. She moved toward a neat row of doors in the side of the room.

She showed him into a small office with an enchanted window and a large oak desk beneath it. The room was littered with books and parchment. He took the chair opposite her desk.

"They treat you guys better than they do us. All we get are tiny cubicles we have to share with our partners." Harry said jokingly.

"You're always in the field anyway." She responded as she took the chair behind her desk.

He nodded. "True, I wouldn't know what to do with an office this size anyway. Did I tell you we did a raid last week on Crabbe's estate?"

"Really? I thought they were all in Azkaban?"

He nodded. "Most of them but we received information that Crabbe's mum was helping some of the last Death Eaters out there. Unfortunately we found nothing, the old woman must have known we were coming."

She shook her head. "Was Ron on this mission with you?" She hoped her voice sounded normal at the mention of her old friend.

Harry noted the pained expression at the mention of Ron's name. "No, he was sent on another mission. I actually haven't seen him in a few days." He hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Have you spoken to him at all?"

Her face became sad. "I was not the one at fault, Harry. It is up to Ronald to remedy the situation. If he wants us to mend our friendship then he needs to apologize."

Harry sighed. He knew she was right but Ron was so pigheaded. "I know, Mione. It's just that...well...I miss you two."

Her expression softened. "I miss you too, Harry. How's Ginny?"

He grinned. "That's actually why I wanted to speak with you. I've decided I want to ask her to marry me."

Hermione grinned and jumped up from her chair and rushed at her friend. "I am so happy for you Harry."

"So you don't think it's too soon?" He asked worriedly.

She laughed. "Too soon? Are you daft? She's been in love with you since her first year at Hogwarts. She just graduated from Hogwarts and is about to start her Quidditch training. I say you better hurry up before she leaves to her training."

Harry laughed. "Right then." He sighed heavily. "I love her, Hermione."

She smiled, tears in her eyes. "I hope you will both be very happy."

"What about you? It's been a long time since that whole business with Ron. Is there anyone new?" He asked.

She shook her head. "I don't have time for that, Harry. I have so much work to do."

"Give it a shot Hermione, don't let Ron's mistakes ruin your chance at happiness." He said seriously. "Don't think I haven't noticed how much you've isolated yourself."

She sighed. "I swear it has nothing to do with Ronald. I just have a lot I am working on." She knew she was lying but she refused to admit how much Ronald's actions had hurt her.

"I still don't understand what he was thinking." He said angrily.

She cringed. "I would rather not talk about it if you don't mind. So, how about I give you a small tour?"

He noticed her changing the subject but didn't acknowledge it. It was better to not push her too far. She was already alienated herself too much. He smiled and followed her out of the small office.

"Isn't that the hall of prophecies?" He asked as they finished their tour. Suddenly he felt curious, as he remembered their short visit to the hall in their fifth year. "Can we go in there?"

She looked reluctant but before she could refuse Harry moved forward and into the room. She had no choice but to follow him. As she entered she realized that she had yet to explore this room.

She hurried to catch up with Harry as he walked slowly examining each orb. "I would have thought you would never have wanted to return to this place."

He shrugged. "It's curiosity I guess." They continued to walk, row by row examining a few of the prophecies.

It felt like hours later before Harry's yell scared her out of her thoughts. "Hermione, look!"

Hermione moved toward him and found he was pointing to a dark and dusty orb. She frowned in confusion as to his excitement until she read the small label under it.

Seer: Cassandra Trelawney

Subjects: Hermione Jean Granger & Severus Tobias Snape

1879

Hermione was flabbergasted. Without thinking, Hermione gently took the orb. Suddenly the orb began to glow and a voice filled the silent room.

Her innocence will cleanse his soul,

His cunning will save them both,

Her bravery will strengthen them,

Together they will fix what is broken,

Time will heal all

She looked at Harry in shock when suddenly the orb began to glow hot. It burned her hand but before she could drop it, she felt a gentle pull. In a flash of pure white light Hermione Granger disappeared.
