Author's Note: Almost done, and it's sort of bittersweet.

The next day the whole school was silent as we all mourned over Professor Dumbledore, but the silence was horrible and only made it all worse. Everyone packed, which was for once, a welcoming experience.

Later that evening, Harry, Ron, Hermione and I walked up to the top of the Astronomy Tower together, and looked out over the Black Lake and the forests surrounding Hogwarts. It was quite beautiful really, but very quiet.

"Do you think he would have done it? Draco?" Hermione suddenly asked, after Harry had told his side of what had happened last night.

"No," Harry said with a shake of his head. "No, he was lowering his wand. In the end, it was Snape. It was always Snape. And I did nothing," I sighed took Harry's hand that was nearest to me in mine as he handed Hermione the locket Dumbledore and him had retrieved. "It's fake," he said quickly. "Open it,"

Hermione did, revealing a small note which she opened up and read to us.

"To the Dark Lord. I know I will be dead long before you read this but I want you to know that it was I who discovered your secret. I have stolen the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as I can. I face death in the hope that when you meet your match you will be mortal once more," she read. "R. A. B,"

All three of them looked over at me at the same time. I quickly raised my hands and shook my head. "I didn't do it," I said immediately, causing Ron and Hermione to chuckle.

"We know," Harry smiled taking my hand in his again. "But whoever R.A.B. really is, the have the real horcrux. Which means it was all a waste. All of it,"

We stood there for a long moment, in a sad depressing silence before Hermione spoke up. "Ron's okay with it, you know," Hermione smiled over at the two of us. "You two. But if I were you, when he's around, I'd keep the snogging to a minimum,"

Harry chuckled and let go of my hand to wrap an arm around my waist. "Alright, but how about you do me a favor?" I asked Hermione, leaning forward so I could see Hermione. "When Harry and I are around, keep the snogging to a minimum. Please," I smiled, getting Harry to chuckled again.

Hermione just scoffed, and turned away from us. "Yeah, like that's going to happen. Besides, he's barking,"

"Funny, he says the same thing about you," Harry put in, making me chuckle.

"Yes, but I'm exceptionally perceptive," Hermione tried, only making her smile grow bigger.

"You're brilliant. You're both brilliant," Harry smiled, looking back over his shoulder at Ron, before turning back to me. "I'm not coming back here," he said, mostly to me, but the comment didn't surprise me. "I've got to finish whatever Dumbledore started and I don't know where that'll lead me but I'll let you know where I am when I can," he told me.

I raised an eyebrow at him and stepped away from him to eye him, much like how Tonks had done to Lupin last night in the hospital wing. "I've always admired your courage, Harry, but sometimes you can be really thick," I told him. "You don't really think you're going to be able to find all those horcruxes by yourself, do you? Not to mention I will put a Fixing Jinx on the two of us so that we'd be stuck together. You aren't going anywhere without Ron or Hermione or me especially!" I exclaimed before Hermione walked over beside me.

"You need us, Harry," she told him.

Harry looked between the two of us before he sighed in defeat and Hermione smiled, happily, walking over to sit next to Ron as Harry wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me back toward him. "I never realized how beautiful this place was," Harry smiled as he looked down at me. "Mostly right here," he said as he kissed me on the nose.

"That has got to be the most cheesiest thing I have ever heard exit that mouth, Harry Potter, and I have known you for an awfully long time… but somehow, it worked," I smiled before kissing him full on the mouth, even with the gagging sounds in the background, courtesy of Ron. I sweetly showed him the birdy as I continued to kiss Harry as Fawkes flew by, singing Dumbledore's lament.

THE END
For now…

Author's Note: Next to come is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 (and then later #2)

WARNING: If you had heart problems waiting for this story, you might want someone with nurse training sitting next to you at all times for this next story. This next one is really going to take a whil mostly because i hate putting storoes up chapter by chapter. So i just wanted to warn you (especially LittleMissMia123 who likes to write in all caps)

I'm sorry about the ending on this one guys, but the movie had one of those endings that doesn't work for when you're writing stories so i ended it like that (look to the above text). If y'all have a good suggestion on a different way to end it i'd love to hear it.

Anyway... review! Thank you for reading!
