Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter J.K Rowling does.
Sorry if my English is bad, I hated it as a subject in high school and this is the first time I am writing any type of story.
It's been 19 years since she last saw him. 19 years of regret and sadness. She missed him so much it hurt; she hated the fact that she Hermione Granger made the wrong choice all those years ago. It was a choice that she wished she chose with her heart rather than her head. Yet her she is reaping the seeds that she sowed, she is an unspeakable for the ministry with a good pay and living a good comfortable life but she hated it without him.
She remembered that faithful day that haunts her every night. It was a cold and dark Sunday morning, they were at the Burrow and it was too early for anyone to be awake. She heard him go down the stairs and followed him as was there ritual every day, but she knew that today was different, she felt it in her bones, she followed him outside to the grovel of trees were he sat beside one and motioned for her to join him. They got comfortable before Harry spoke "Hermione, I want to go, I want to leave this place because I hate it. Molly is starting to irritate me with her talks about marrying Ginny. Let's go, let's leave this place and start a new life". A stunned silence followed "What do you mean Harry, everything we have is here and every one we love is here. We can't just leave". "Why Hermione, why can't we leave, we killed Voldemort so they should allow us to do what we want and also Hermione I love you". Silence, Harry looked up at Hermione to see a shocked look on her face "what do you mean you love me, what about Ginny" "I do not love her, she is just some delusional fan girl, I love you because you are the only who has been with me to the end and has always been there for me, you are the only one who knows me as just Harry".
It was as if all the trees stopped moving and went silent, as if the cold wind stopped blowing as Hermione thought it over in her head before she came to her conclusion and it pained her heart as she chose the logical answer. "I'm sorry Harry but I can't just leave this place, I can't leave Ron", anger flashed across Harry's face as the sky grew darker "so that's it you made your choice" he said in a cold voice. Hermione flinched and replied quietly "yes Harry, I'm sorry".
They sat there for a few minutes before Harry woke up and walked away from the Burrow, he turned around and they locked eyes for a few seconds and when she saw the pain in his eyes she knew she made the wrong choice, with a crack he apparated away, after a few minutes with a heavy heart she wiped away her tears and went back inside somehow knowing that she would not see him in a long time. After that time flew by and soon she married Ron. From the start their marriage was bad with constant fighting and soon after that they divorced when she caught him in bed with Draco Malfoy.
A broken heart that was what he had. It tore him apart when she said those words so much that he knew that he would never love again. After apparating away from the Burrow with his stuff he went to Grimmauld Place, its dark cold interior reflected his feelings. He warded the house of so that no one could enter it, he spent days just drinking away his sorrow. One day in his drunken stupor he stumbled into the dark library, its walls were covered with ornate bookshelf filled with books of all kinds. He picked a book at random and just started reading to pass time. After a while of reading he realized it a book on the Dark Arts.
It was so interesting that he never put the book down until he finished reading it; soon he had read every book on the dark arts in the library and was craving more. He grew to love it and wished to know more. It empowered him and gave him a thirst for blood. Soon he wished to test out his new found knowledge, his aunt earlier gave him the address to their new home and he knew that it was the perfect place to test out the dark arts.
The next night he apparated outside their home, it was a fairly modern two storey building with white walls and a slate roof. He calmly walked over to the door and rang the bell while inside he was bubbling with excitement and nervousness. Soon his fat uncle answered the door, before his uncle could even lay his eyes on him Harry sent him flying into the opposite wall which was covered with pictures of Dudley. "Hello uncle Vernon, so nice of you to invite me into your home" sneered Harry. Just then Petunia came out from the kitchen to see what was the commotion as Dudley came thundering down the stairs."What do you want here you freak!" Petunia screamed "oh I just came for a little revenge, you see I came here to pay you back for all the misery you put me through" said Harry with a grin that sent shivers down the Dursley's back. Harry then banished them all into the living room and bound and gagged them while putting up dark wards around the house so that no one could detect anything. A few hours later the fresh white walls of the living room were coated in a layer of blood and gore, there was nothing left of the Dursley's when he was finished. He then left the house and set fire to it before apparating over to Grimmauld place. He loved it, the rush you get when killing a person and the sound of their screams were exhilarating. Soon though he left England and moved on to gain more knowledge.
It is quite ironic, he left England because he stopped caring about the magical community and yet years later he comes back to save it. It started out slowly at first, people disappearing and then been found murdered. Slowly yet surely the darkness crept back and encased magical Britain, There was the new dark lord, he and his group killed, raped and destroyed anyone who stood in their way. Hermione Granger prayed everyday for help to save the magical world from the menace but she never thought in her wildest dreams it would come from him.
It was at a time when they were on the brink of defeat that he came; he came to a meeting between the Order and the ministry. He promised to take care of the dark lord if they granted him unlimited access to the veil room where he could do whatever he wanted no questions asked. The minister in his dumbness granted it not knowing that he was signing the death sentence of the entire world. Two days later Harry Potter destroyed the dark lord and all his minions.
So that is why we are here in the veil room, it's dark and gloomy walls smell of death and anguish. It has been five days so far that Harry has come and just sat and stared at the veil, sometimes he would say some words in a foreign tongue but nothing would happen. Today was different; today he had a smug look on his face as he entered the room. Alongside him Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks a handful of auros and me Hermione granger, we were tasked to observe him and see what he wanted with the veil.
All these day's he did not say a single word to them even if they asked him anything. Today out of the blue he spoke "tell me do you know what the purpose of the veil is" he said in a cold voice. Shocked and scared at the tone of his voice Hermione replied "no we don't, we have spent a lot of time studying it and have not come up with anything". There was a pregnant pause before he replied in the same cold voice "it is a gateway to death. You see when one goes through the veil they die instantly and their soul is taken away by death. I have travelled this world and have studied every dark arts book I could find and very recently I stumbled across a very precious book. At first I thought it was just some scrap diary but then I found out that it was the diary if Gillert Grindelweld. You see in there I found out about the true Albus Dumbledore, how he actually hated muggles and loved to manipulate people. It was then I realized that Dumbledore has manipulated me my entire life, those supposed blood wards don't even exist and throughout my entire schooling career don't you find it odd that I nearly died in each year. They were lovers you see, Albus and Gillert, the only reason they fought each other was because of the deathly hallows. You see all Albus wanted was power over the world where he was the ruler, but Gillert, he found a better purpose he found out that if you do a ritual with the deathly hallows and the veil you can command death".
A stunned silence followed his long speech as the others contemplated what he said; they were so lost in their thoughts that they did not realize that he had set up wards around him and the veil. "You see that is why I am here today, I am the master of death, I hold all the deathly hallows and I am going to use it". The other's quickly came out of their musing and started panicking, but the wards he put up were too strong.
Harry started chanting in an evil tongue as darkness surrounded him, he then threw the hallows into the veil before saying in a deep voice "I am the master of death, I hold the deathly hallows, come to me death I command you". The others in the room trembled in fear as a dark hooded figure emerged from the veil "You have summoned me human, what is it that you want". "I wish to go back in time, back to before the second war started. I wish to change it all" spoke Harry. "Your wish is my command, just enter into the veil and you will be transported back in time but know that this world will be destroyed".
He then disappeared with a flash, "no Harry don't do this "screamed Lupin as Harry walked towards the veil. As he got closer to the veil the ground started shaking as if anticipating its destruction. He stopped at the veil turned around and looked Hermione straight in the eye and said "I've always loved you" before jumping through. The wards crashed down as the building crumbled around them, Hermione didn't care about anything, he still loved her, so with that in mind she ran after him and jumped into the veil as the world they left behind exploded.
a\n: Okay so I thought about this today at work and just had to write it out. I don't know if I will continue it as I am extremely busy with work and college but if I do it will be awhile before I update.
If anyone has any ideas about how I should continue it pm me and I will take it into consideration.
