Voldemort, Harry could handle. Girls were another thing entirely. Especially when one of those girls is your best friend. Icing on the cake? That friend is crushing on your other best friend.

This is how Hermione and Harry sleep every night.

With a diamond ring in her hand and a pounding in her chest, Hermione stands in the bitter cold. Tonight there might be two of the Golden Trio ending up with broken hearts.

Everything seems peaceful again, Harry Potter is training to be an Auror along with Ron by his side and Hermione has returned to Hogwarts. None of them are aware of the darkness brewing in the Ministry. Ministry is weaker than ever. Wizards are till working to get rid of Muggle-Borns and an even darker force preparing to confront Harry Potter for the battle of the Elder Wand.
