Disclaimer: All I own is the plot.

A/N: Here's the last chapter. I hope you've liked reading this story as much as I've liked writing it (does that sound a little sappy? Sorry).

I'm sorry, but this chapter is a little short. I'm also sorry if it's not very good and ruins the story, but I couldn't help but put it in. Anyway, read it and please tell me what you think of this chapter, or the story in general.\

IMPORTANT: Now, I know there were some complaints about what I did with the ending. If you didn't get my revised author's note, I just wanted to explain what's going on. I put up one ending for this story, and left it up long enough for a few people to read it. A few days later, I decided that the chapter was not very well written, so I replaced it with an author's note saying I was changing it. If you were annoyed by this, I just wanted to explain what exactly I did. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, skip this part and read the story. First I'd like to say that Kerbie, thank you for bringing this to my attention. Now I'd like to explain that what I'm actually doing, is putting the exact same ending I had before, I'm just adding on to it. It really is the same thing that was up there before, it just has more content; I really just wanted to make it not so abrupt. If you are still annoyed by this, I'm very very sorry, and please tell me if you want to read the first ending (it was horrible, I'm telling you now), I'll think about posting it as a post script. Or maybe I'll just email it to people who want to read it, but anyway, if you do want to read it, let me know. Whew, that is long! Now on with the new final chapter. . .

Chapter Eight



Harry awoke the next morning staring up at an unfamiliar ceiling. It was then that he remembered the events of the night before. He smiled remember the perfect night he and Hermione had shared. He gently rolled over, and saw Hermione, still asleep, breathing softly. She looked so peaceful and happy, Harry thought. He gently kissed the top of her head and rolled out of her bed. He wanted to do something nice for the woman he loved so much.

Hermione's eyes softly fluttered open. Memories from the night before flooded into her mind, making her smile. She had felt so loved, so important in Harry's arms.

Hermione sat up in bed and looked at the empty spot next to her, surprised not to see Harry. 'Where is he?' she wondered. Maybe he didn't love her after all. If he loved her he would have stayed right? Hermione, feeling angry with herself for being so stupid, climbed out of bed and went to the kitchen.

Harry looked at her from behind her kitchen counter and grinned. "Perfect timing," he said.

Hermione looked around, surprised and humbled at the same time. An enormous breakfast had been spread out on her kitchen table. After years of cooking for the Dursleys, Harry had become quite good in the kitchen.

"Harry, this is so sweet," Hermione said, the loving feeling returning.

"So are you," Harry said, lightly kissing Hermione's forehead.

She smiled and sat down at the table. "Harry, this looks wonderful. You didn't have to do this."

"I wanted to. It's the least I could do for you. I love you so much Hermione."

"I love you too, Harry," Hermione said, gazing into his beautiful eyes.

* * *

Harry and Hermione were the perfect couple. Hermione, who had been rather depressed lately, was truly happy knowing that someone loved her and thought she was beautiful. Harry had been searching too hard for love, finding no one but Padma, and when Hermione came back into his life, he felt complete. Everyone thought they were great together, and this time Hermione believed them; she and Harry were perfect together.

Harry thought so too, which is why he proposed to Hermione on their six month anniversary. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, that's another story entirely. . .

The End.

Please review this if you have read this far, and thank you to everyone who has reviewed so far, I appreciate it! I meant for this final chapter to give the story some closure, but just now on the spur of the moment, I have decided to leave it open and write a sequel. Again, I'm sorry for the problems, and if you liked this fic read the sequel (when I've gotten around to writing it, of course; you can't read a story that doesn't exist can you?) Can you believe that my original chapter was shorter than this? I'm really sorry that this is so short, but hey, it was longer than the other chapter I was going to use. Anyway, like I said, if you want to see the original last chapter (it sucked, believe me) please review and tell me. Well, that's about it. And this won't be the last you'll hear from me *laughing evilly* . Anyway, Bye. . .for now. . .
