One Minute In Heaven


Harry stood at the pearly white golden gates of heaven watching others enter through with smiling faces. He saw angel standing in front of the gates with a scroll in his hands checking off names. The angel had long blonde hair, tone skin, and blue eyes with white wings. The angel looked up at Harry in surprise.

"Dead before your time Harry Potter." said the angel and looked down at the scroll. "I wasn't expecting to see you until you're 200 years old."

Harry blinked in shock. " 200 years old. I married Ginny and had a family." thought Harry.

"Were you in such a hurry to see us Harry." said a male voice.

Harry snapped out of his thoughts and saw a man with messy black, tone skin, brown eyes behind a pair of round glasses. A woman with long red hair, pale skin, bright green eyes and slim womanly figure. Another man with long wavy black hair to his shoulders, tone skin, blue eyes and nicely trimmed beard.

"Dad, Mom, Sirius?" said Harry shocked to see them standing behind the closed gate.

"In the flesh. Well sort of." said Sirius. "We got it from here Archie."

"Don't call me that." said the angel with the scroll.

Lily smiled and opened the gate. She quickly pulled her son into her arms. Harry wrapped his arms around slender waist. She was more beautiful than in the pictures he had as the only reminder of his parents. He breathed in her scent of milk and honey that reminded him of Hermione. Harry pulled back from his mother's embrace and he quickly found himself in his father's arms. James kissed his brow and Sirius pulled his godson into his arms soon as James let go.

"Did you and Hermione get together?" asked Sirius just as he pulled out of the hug.

"No. I'm with Ginny." said Harry with a smile.

The group walked away from the gate. Harry looked around the white fluffy clouds and bright light blue sky. It was peaceful with angels meeting their families once again.

Sirius shook his head in disapproval. "The Weasely family only want you for the Boy-Who-Lived and the Potter name and money. She doesn't love you. She has been using love potions on you since last year."

"Yes. It's disgusting how their using you son. Do the right thing and go for the woman that loves you for you." said James. He looked at Lily lovingly. "I did with your mother."

"You were happy?" said Harry.

"Yes sweetheart. For almost 12 years of marriage. We were 18 when we got married. We were blessed with you." said Lily with a bright smile. The family sat down on a fluffy white cloud. "Let's see what will happen if decide to stay here with us," and the clouds parted.


Hermione sat on the wet ground the rain poured down drenching her. The funeral of Harry James Potter had just ended and the cemetery was empty; expect for her dressed in a simple black dress. She traced her best friend's name on the cold wet marble stone.

Harry James Potter

July 31, 1980 - June 13, 1998

Friend and War Hero

Each snowflake is different and beautiful in it's own way.


"I wrote that in a poem I gave her on her 18th birthday. I gave her a snowflake necklace and had that engraved on the back." said Harry. "But why isn't anyone there to comfort her? They all left her."

"Some people grieve differently than others, son. For Moony for example. He needs time to himself for a few days to get his emotions under control. But he'll be there to comfort her. You'll see." said James.

"But that doesn't make it right." said Harry. Lily squeezed her son's shoulder in comfort.

"Don't you worry Harry things will be just fine." said Lily gently.


Hermione let a loud sob leave her parted lips. She slowly pulled out a white lily from her pocket. "I brought you your favorite flower," and she slowly laid it down on the still loose dirt. Hermione broke down into violent sobs that shook her entire body.


"Someone needs to be there and comfort her." said Harry. "This is when she's most vulnerable. She doesn't handle death well." he whispered.

"Hermione was the only one that knew your favorite flower. She was the only one that cared to learn the small things about you." said Sirius. "Don't you worry. Someone's coming." Sirius rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things. "It's Snape, McGonagall and her parents."

Harry sighed in relief. He was glad someone was going to help her. He believe his family that Remus would be there in few days. He loved Moony has a second godfather and good friend.


Minerva knelt down in front of Hermione her umbrella shielding the rain from both witches. Minerva tucked a wet curl behind Hermione's ear. Severus cast a drying charm over Hermione. He removed his cloak and wrapped it gently over her shoulders. He helped her to her feet while Minerva kept her umbrella over Hermione.

"Harry loves lilies. No one else knew that." whispered Hermione. "William Shakespeare was his favorite author. He was amazing writer." She cried harder causing her knees to buckle. Severus and John caught Hermione around the waist.

Severus owed Harry his life. Harry had taken a curse in the chest which was the result in his death. Harry's heart had failed within several minutes of his arrival at Hogwarts Hospital Wing. John helped Severus support Hermione from the cemetery followed by Minerva and Jane.


"Me and Hermione had played 20 questions one night in the common room when we couldn't sleep. That's how she knew all those small things about me. No one else knew those small things about my life." said Harry with a small smile, but faded and said, "Why did the Weaselys just leave her? I don't understand."

"Just watch Harry." said Lily. "You wont like what you hear," and Harry turned to the scene.


The Weasely family sat around the long table at the Burrow. A copy of the Daily Prophet in the center of the table. A picture of Harry on the front page.

"Another story on Harry James Potter." said Ron in disgust. "He's dead so stop talking about how he saved the Greasy Git of the Hogwarts Dungeons."

Ginny grabbed a letter that the post owl just dropped on the table. She quickly opened it. She read out loud.

"The Weasely family,

The reading of Harry James Potter's Will be read on the first of July at ten am at Grinngotts Bank. You are to be present at the reading. Do not be late.

Sincerely,

Griphook

Potter's family accountant, trusty and adviser"

Ginny folded the letter and sat it down on the table.

"He made a will?" said Molly in awe.

Ginny smirked. She would get a large chuck of the Potter fortune. She was going to be the next Mrs. Potter. But that never happened, but he loved her. The love potions she had been given him for the past year had better paid off.


Hermione laid on her bed her face buried in her pillow. The letter about Harry's will reading would be soon. It was her idea for him to make out a will, and he found it a wonderful idea. She gripped her pillow until her finger became num but she didn't care. She couldn't feel anything only the loss of her best friend. Hermione heard her mother call for supper but she wasn't hungry. She wanted to stay in her room and never leave. She felt like her soul had been ripped in half.

Meanwhile, John and Jane sat in the living room waiting for Remus, Minerva and Severus to arrive. They had became worried about their daughter. She hadn't eaten or left her room since Harry's funeral and, they feared the worse would happen. Green flames appeared in the harp of the fireplace and Minerva, Remus and Severus stepped out into the living room. They dusted the ashes off their robes.

"What has happened?" asked the Headmistress.

"Hermione won't eat or leave her room. We're getting worried." said John.

"Oh dear Lord. She's killing herself. Severus get to her quickly." said Minerva.

Severus ran out of the living room and up the stairs taking two at a time. He ran to the door followed by John, Jane, Remus and Minerva. He turned the knob only to find it locked. He drew his wand before Minerva could blink and had it opened. They walked into the room. Minerva covered her mouth in shock at the scene.

Hermione laid on the bed both wrists cut blood pooling on the mattress and floor. Her face sheet white and breathing was labor.

Severus quickly healed her wrist with a wave of his wand and healing bandages wrapped themselves over the gashes. He checked her pulse with a shaky hand. It was weak but still there. He pulled out a travel potions bag and pulled out several healing potions. He slowly poured them down her throat. Severus sat down on the edge of the bed with a heavy sigh of relief.

"It was close. Too close." whispered the Potions Master.

Minerva, Remus, John and Jane stared at the young woman that laid in the bed before them. They had no idea that Hermione was so depressed that she wanted to kill herself.

"Why?" was all John said.

Minerva bent down and picked up a blood covered note off the floor. She quietly read it to herself before she could get the tightness in her throat to disappear.


Harry closed his eyes. "Don't do that again Mione. I want you to live your life and have kids." He opened his eyes and watched the scene.


Minerva cleared her throat and held the letter with a shaky hand. She read out loud.

Dear Mom and Dad, (I know Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape and Remus are there.)

If you are reading this letter than I had done what I have set out to do. I hate leaving you, but I can't carry on this way any longer. It's just too hard. My heart and soul left with Harry. Then, I realized that Harry and I were soul mates. I was seeking death to be with him I have found it. I am no longer whole only a shell of myself. I love you all. Yes even you Severus Snape. You pushed me to become better in what ever I did. Minerva McGonagall, I could come to you about anything. I love you for it all. Remus, I love you, and thank you for the late night hot chocolate and chats. To Mom and Dad thank you for loving me and understanding me. To my darling Harry I am own my way to you.

Love you,

Hermione

Minerva shakingly dropped the letter to the floor. Jane turned and cried into her husband's shoulder. She walked over and sank next to Severus, who was still sitting on the bed.


Harry turned and looked at his parents and godfather in shock at the news of hearing that he and Hermione were soul mates. They all nodded to conform it was true.

"Your father and I are soul mates." said Lily and James kissed on the lips and smiled.

"Oh, look Harry your will reading." said Sirius excitedly.

"Only Padfoot would get excited about this." said James with a chuckle. Harry only shook his head but chuckled. Lily rolled her eyes.


The Weasely family (except for Percy who wasn't there), Hermione, Remus, Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape sat in a room at a long table at Grinngotts Bank to hear Harry's will. Severus sat there wondering why he was among Potter's friends. Because Harry had never liked him. The goblin, Griphook walked into the room and placed a folder down on the table and sat down in the chair behind him.

"We are here to hear the last Will and Testament of Lord Harry James Potter." said Griphook and opened the folder in front of him. "Let us begin."

"I, Lord Harry James Potter mind sound and body leave this last will and testament in hope to help in away after my death.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry fund, I leave the sum of 100 million galleons for repairs of the school. Headmistress McGonagall I wish you luck in helping those that may need your guidance.

Miss Minerva McGonagall, I leave the sum of 5 million galleons to do as you wish. I also leave you a diamond necklace of a lion." Griphook handed Minerva a long slender black box.

She took the box with tears in her eyes. She remembered Lily wearing the necklace a good bit. James had gotten it for her as a graduation gift.

"Mr. Severus Snape, I leave you the sum of 5 million gallons. I want you to open the potion research lab. I'm sorry for ease dropping on that conversation. Promise me to take on Hermione as your apprentice. She's not such a know-it-all you think she is. Ok maybe a little. But she is laid back and so funny and loveable. I also leave you the Potter Potion Journals. Please use them well. It's a thank you for always saving my ass in school. "

Griphook handed Severus over stack of five thick journals. The Potions Master quietly took them from the goblin.

"Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Weasely I leave you the sum of seven million for every year that you had welcome me into your home. Thank you for everything.

Mr. Ron Weasely, I leave you the sum of 1,700 million for being such a wonderful friend. I also leave you my firebolt," Griphook handed the redhead the broom. "Miss Ginny Weasely, I leave 6,000 million and the Potter family rose diamond bracelet."

Griphook handed Ginny slender black box. She took it and anger flashed in her brown eyes.

"Mr. Remus Lupin, I leave you the sum of 12 million. Thank you for being there for my parents and Sirius. Buy you some new damned robes. Than as the last of the Marauders I leave your very own creation the Marauders Map and my invisibility cloak. Thank you for everything Moony."

Griphook handed Remus the cloak and map. He took them with tears in his eyes. He smiled gently at the items in front of him.

"Miss Hermione Granger, I leave you the sum of the remaining Potter fortune and the tile of Lady Potter the sum of 1,000.7 billion galleons. The Potter library and the Potter estates in Ireland, Rome, Greece and France. Jewels, Potter Gardens. The Potter clan's pride and joy Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizard. The last thing I did for you. My book of creative poem works.

You were the most important apart of my Hermione. You never left my side. I love you for it and much more. I want you to continue to work hard, but not too hard "Miss Bookworm." I love you and thank you for loving me for me. Remember house elves do not want to be freed.

You will and always be my other half, my sun and moon. My north star that will lead me home. My heart to my soul. My love."

Griphook handed Hermione a notebook of poems, key to the Potter vault, the deeds to the Potter estates and properties. She took them with shaky hands. Severus took them before she dropped them. Minerva brushed the curls from her left shoulder. Griphook closed the folder and left the room closing the door behind him.

"What in the name of hell! You get everything!" snapped Ron.

Hermione jumped and grabbed Severus's arm. Remus stood up and walked behind Hermione and gently squeezed her shoulders.

"I don't know why I'm getting everything. Honest. You can have it all but the library and the school. If you answer this one question." said Hermione.

"I'll answer it." said Ginny, knowing she'll get it correctly.

"What was Harry's favorite flower?"

"A red rose." said Ginny smiling.

"No, it was a white lily." said Hermione and rose from her chair along with Minerva and Severus. They grabbed their things. Soon followed by Remus.

"Why are you still wearing black?" sneered Ron.

Hermione stopped at the door and slowly turned around. "I will always wear black. I lost the man I ever loved," and she walked out the room followed by Remus, Severus and Minerva.


They're horrible!" sneered Harry. "What happened to them?"

"Potions sweetheart. They can make people things. They only befriended you because you were the "Chosen One," and it's a horrible thing." whispered Lily.

The image changed and they now were looking down at Harry's body that laid in the Hogwarts Hospital Wing. Poppy and Severus were working tirelessly to save Harry.

"I thought I was dead." said Harry looking at his own body.

"Nope, between the living and the dead." said Sirius. "You've seen what will happen if you choose to stay with us."

"It's your choice son." said James.

Harry looked at his best friend and back at his family and back at Hermione. He didn't want to leave her. He needed to tell her he loved her.

"We'll always be watching over you." said Lily lovingly. "Go live your life and have a family with Hermione."

Harry smiled and hugged each of them. "I'll see you soon! But hopefully in 200 years."

James winked at Sirius and pushed Harry. Harry felt a pull at his navel and the spinning sensation. The flashes of war and beating Voldemort and taking a curse in the chest for his Potions Master flashed before his eyes. The beauty that was waiting for him to hold her.
