"Love, what's wrong?" Pansy asked.

Everyone's eyes were on Hermione.

"Dumbledore sent a message. And it's not good." Hermione said sighing.

"It can't be any worse than the resurrection of You Know Who," Tonks said with a mouth full of toast.

"Well, he's planned his funeral," Hermione said.

Everyone in the room stopped eating. It was quiet and uncomfortable.

"He already knows who's killing him and when. He said he was already dying but preparing for the inevitable was better than nothing," Hermione whispered, breaking the silence.

Draco looked down in shame. Harry saw his partner's sad eyes and placed a comforting hand on Draco's thigh.

Kreacher walked in the kitchen just as Hermione walked out.

"Hello Kreacher. Breakfasts on the table," Pansy said to the elf before following her girlfriend.

Hermione didn't know what to feel. Dumbledore had always been there for her, more than most knew about. He said he wouldn't ever give up. But planning a funeral sure did sound like the end.

"Hermione, come back downstairs. You haven't eaten since yesterday." Pansy called.

"July 29th 1991," Hermione whispered.

She sat down on the bed of their shared bedroom.

"What?" Pansy asked.

"That was the first time I met Albus Dumbledore. He showed up at my door and changed my life. And now he's planning the end of his. Pans, he's like a grandfather figure to me. He promised to never give up. And now here we are," Hermione cried.

Pansy stared at her lover for a few seconds before climbing on the bed and hugging Hermione from behind

"Yes, he's giving up. But he knows what he's doing. He's bloody Dumbledore for Merlin's sake. He would know if his time is up. And I'm not giving up. just because one person decided they were done doesn't determine my decisions. I choose to fight. Because love wins," Pansy moved her head into the crook of Hermione's neck.

"I love you Pansy, what would I ever do without you?" Hermione said, kissing Pansy's hand.

"I love you more. And without me you wouldn't have an awesome breakfast downstairs that you're letting get cold." Pansy said and Hermione smiled.

After a few minutes of silent hugging, they walked downstairs and Hermione ate she slightly cold food.

As pansy watched she couldn't help but feel pride watching her girlfriend. Pansy was deeply in love with her.
