~*This Fic is Dedicated to three people: Heather, Christian, and Robbie*~

Harry and Hermione stood on the edge of a cliff face, high in the Rocky Mountains, both their minds drifting into the past.
~*~
[The Italics are the words of my silly song, written as I wrote this first passage in song fic form]
[Bold Face type is Harry's POV]
Hermione's eyes caught Harry Potter's glance as they sat in the common room.
'I'll love you, forever, and ever, and ever. I swear.'
Harry stood up, his mind swirling.
'I know that if you leave me, or I'm torn from you…'
"Hermione, I'll love you, forever, but I have to leave."
'It'll break my heart in pieces, and toss them to the hounds.'
"Harry, don't go, spend one last night!"
'I can't put you though this, don't let it break yours too!'
"One last night? Or day? Or one last forever, my love?"
'Forever isn't long enough to spend with you!'
"But Harry, I can't live without you one day! I need just one more time to love you!"
'Love me, or make it impossible for me to leave?!'
"The Ministry needs my help!"
'I can protect you, me, and anyone, as long as you are with me!'
"I'll go, I'll hold my own, just hold me Harry!"
'You're my doll, they'll rip you to shreds! Kill you just to see me cry!'
"Don't put yourself through that, I will be back, I will succeed, just to return to you!"
'I want you forever, I'll never stray from your love, but leave me and I'll grab for anything!'
"I love you, but without you, I may not be able to make it."
'Don't you love me enough to not grab for the first man to walk around the corner when I leave?'
"You won't be faithful to me?!"
'I'll try and I'll try, but without you my heart yearns for contact, for a cure for lonely nights!'
"I'll try my hardest, but what will I do?"
'Think of me, and we'll be together.'
"Think of my love, and you'll always be mine!"
And Harry disappeared with a pop. He wouldn't have been able to leave if he had stayed to give her that one last kiss. Or the night that she wanted.
But that was the way she wanted it!
Hermione left the common room in tears and bumped into Draco Malfoy coming around the corner.
"Hello Malfoy." She said, but he grabbed her wrist.
~*~
"You're pregnant? To Potter? But he's not even here!" Malfoy snarled, slamming his hand against Hermione's cheek.
"Before he left, I couldn't tell him no. We love each other. I just needed someone."
"Do you love me?"
"A little."
"A little?"
"Malfoy, I love Harry more than my life. I love you as someone who has come through for me when I needed it most. I have no where to go, and no man would take me."
"You've got that right, slut."
"Malfoy!"
"Potter's gone. On a wild-goose chase for the Ministry. For another of Voldemort's weak, powerless, flunkies who couldn't keep up."
Hermione's eyes widened. "No…"
~*~
Harry and Hermione stood together, their lives patched violently back together.
~*~
"But Riddle! I tried!"
"Zyvareen. What a stupid, stupid name. Did a child pick it out for you, Stephens?"
"My name is Lyle Stephens and I go by Zyvareen. You yourself have an outrageous alias."
"No one shall ever speak the name of my father again. My name is Voldemort. Tom Marvolo Riddle directly rearranges to I Am Lord Voldemort. Which I am."
"And I request you call me by my alias as well."
"Denied, Lyle. I shall call you whatever I damn well please."
A jet of sparks slammed Lyle into a wall. "Leave, you fool."

Harry and Hermione's hair was stirred up by a mountain breeze.
~*~
"This curse can take a wizard's power away and lock it with another wizard. It is highly dangerous and only performable when the wizard performing it is not performing it for evil. It has been highly helpful to the Light Side."
"You have no power, Harry."
"If Hermione was to rescue me, I would, she would. YOU wouldn't."
"You haven't seen her in two years. That's a long time for a lonely female. She's moved on, Potter."
"She's coming. I know it. She loves me as I love her; forever, and ever, and ever. Sworn forever."
"Fool." Zyvareen said with a final scowl.
~*~
"You know I'll love you forever, and ever, and ever, Hermione."
"That goes for you too, love." Hermione whispered and they shared a kiss high above the Rockies.

THE END
A/N You asked for a epilogue, you got it. I hope my writing has improved and this clears things up. Sorry about the insertion of my little mixed up lyric filk as a song fic for the first bit. ::THIS:: font is Hermione's thoughts and words, and ::this:: font is Harry's.
THE END

[Pretending to be Icy and finishing her story (which really sucked for a while).]
Don't ask. Just review.
