"From Here To Eternity"
By: JuJuVoodoo (jufred)











Chapter 1

When one thinks of the casualties of war, they only consider the poor soul that was lost. Yet the sad reality is, the worst casualty is the heart that was broken from the loss. Mothers and fathers losing their children. Siblings losing siblings. Friends, lovers, colleagues all can suffer from a single loss. So sadly the greatest casualty...are the broken hearts. It was the 3rd year of the war against the dark Lord, the loss and severity of the war grew to epic proportions. In desperation, the wizarding world sought out the most unlikely of allies... the muggles. The best muggle warriors were chosen and sworn to utter secrecy. They left their lives, homes and loved ones to what they were told was a secret mission with the likelihood of never returning. The ministry thought this as an advantage in their fight against the Dark Lord. However, the Dark Lord knew of their plan and recruited muggles as well. Making this war unlike any other.

"The Muggles are coming!" cried Ron as he ran into a tent. Harry battered from his last battle rose and greeted Ron and went out his tent to great the arriving warriors. Outside the troops were gazing at the skies staring at muggle airship dropping many muggle warriors.

"They fall like leaves." Ron said curiously staring at the paratroopers. Harry felt a chill run down his spine, he knew that the Ministry only sent Muggle reinforcements when the battles got worse.

"They were sent from America, they fought in the front with Fred and George's units, where Hermione and Ginny are." Ron said in one gasping breath.

"Mr Potter, I presume?" Said a boisterous voice. Harry and Ron turned to greet a man who landed only feet from where they stood who was saluting Harry. Harry nodded and watched other muggles form lines behind the strange uniformed man. They were heavily armed some with their faces painted .

"They look like monsters," squealed Ron. Then the soldier whom asked for Harry walked up to them and continued.

"I am Ensign Jack Morrissey, a Medical Officer with the United States Navy I bring word from Ministry headquarters from the front. Your men are badly needed at Azkaban. I am ordered to assign 6 men to every Auror, and 10 to 6 wizard and witch. I have brought 150 Marines, 90 Army Rangers and 6 Navy SEALS, of which I am in command. You must rally your units son."

Harry’s eyes looked around as the muggles started introducing them selves to the aurors and the units. Ron beside him quickly turned to the Ensign.

"Any word from Hermione Granger?" Ron said in a panic. "...or of my sister Ginevra Weasley?"

The Ensign paused and looked deeply into Ron’s eyes and replied "None, I’m sorry son, not that I know of." suddenly he put his hands and Ron’s shoulder and said in a firm tone "Rally the aurors and form your troops we leave in 4 hours. You two will accompany me in the helicoptor with the SEALS."

Quickly Ron and Harry ran through the campsite gathering every able bodied warrior, Aurors who served as officers readied their troops. Wizards and witches mounted their broom with their wands at the ready. Muggles readied their weapons and held them closely while around them, tiny house elves readied their slingshots while centaurs readied their bow and arrows.

Three hours had passed and the muggle Officers gave the signal to get ready to depart. Harry and Ron boarded a helicopter with their brooms and wands in hand, closely followed by Ensign Morrissey. Quickly the Auror’s gave signal and instantly hundreds of people on brooms filled the air. Those who didn’t fly ran on foot in a march that would last 3 hours. Other muggle airships filled the air and soon, they were on their way.





Chapter 2



In the helicopter, Harry and Ron sat closely beside the Ensign and next to him, 6 heavily armed and mean looking muggles.

"Mr. Potter!" said a soldier whose face was painted black. Harry gulped and he saw the man of enormous stature. And the man continued. "I want to go over our attack plan with you; please come here." Harry nodded and went over to the man and went into deep conversation. Ron sat nervously holding his broom closely and staring blankly at the ground. He and Harry have fought bravely in many battles but Ron seemed to have something burning his thoughts. Deeper and deeper he thought to himself before he was interrupted.

"How long have you loved her?" asked Ensign Morrissey with a crooked smile. Ron looked perplexed upon hearing what the man said.

"What?" Ron said in a startled tone.

"Mrs. Granger," said the Ensign. "When you asked about her it was obvious that you loved her, I read it in your eyes. I read them like a book."

Ron blushed and looked hard upon the ground sighing and answered the man. "Honestly..." he then paused to quickly think but then started again. "... I don’t know, well I do know , but I’m not sure, I mean... she’ll never love me back.. But to be quite honest, after every battle I think of her more and I want to tell her but I never do." Ron stopped suddenly when he noticed the Ensign had a tears running down his cheek.

" I was in love once," said the Ensign in a soft voice "She was my best friend we went to school together, then I joined the Navy, she wrote me when I was in training and I started to fall for her. Then one year I was sent to war and I wrote her every chance I could. More and more I thought of her. With every close encounter I had to death the site of her face flashed before mine. My feeling for her grew insatiable. I missed her every moment. I had realized I had loved her for more than seven years but never told her." Ron stared as the man told his story and the pain in his eyes upon telling it.

"What happened when you returned from the war?" Asked Ron leaning closer to the man in anticipation. The Ensign smiled and calmly answered. "After a year I returned home but received a message from my Admiral. He assigned my unit to go on a special assignment. A very high risk mission I may add."

"And then?" Ron asked, even more eager to hear the man's story. The Ensign smiled and answered in a humorous tone. "I was sent to a magical place fighting in a war I could never imagine fighting in and 9 months later sitting in a helicopter talking to a young wizard about love."

Ron blushed and the both laughed but suddenly Ron’s expression went blank and he asked in the most worried tone, "But what about your love?" Ensign smiled but before he could answer the man with the painted face yelled.

"E-T-A-ONE-MINUTE!!!!"

Quickly the Ensign stood up yelled "ONLINE". Instantly the helicopter door flew open and the other soldiers stood up. Harry quickly went over to Ron with his broom and wand ready.

"Ron! We have to go down ahead of them." Harry said quickly. "And we must be quick. Dementors and Dragons fill the air and Muggle weapons can..."

BOOM!!!

The helicopter shook violently and sounds of alarm filled the helicopter. The soldiers readied their weapons. The boys looked nervously out the door. Below them was utter chaos, wizards fighting wizards, muggle fighting muggle. They had reached the war front.

"Quick boys!" ordered the Ensign. The boys mounted their brooms with their wands at the ready. Harry leaped out first instantly dodging spells and bullets which flew right passed him. As Ron was about to leap out the Ensign quickly grabbed his shoulder.

"Tell her!" he said loudly.

Ron nodded at him and said "I’ll..."

"Quick boy you haven’t much time," said the Ensign, interrupting Ron. And with no haste Ron leaped out the helicopter into the war torn skies.

Chapter 3


Soon Ron caught up with Harry. Together they were dodging bullets and spells from every direction. Missing them only by mere inches.
"UP AHEAD!" yelled Ron, pointing to a clearing were the Ministry’s base camp stood. Harry smiled. The base camp was within their grasp. He quickly turned to Ron but two his horror he saw two Dementors chasing Ron. Quickly Harry turned and flew toward Ron with his Wand out . He pointed his wand cried out with all his might.

"EXPECTO PATRONUM!!!!!!"

The light of his patronus filled the grey smoke filled skies stunning the 2 dementors and even startling people fighting below them. Harry flew over to Ron who’s eyes were wide with shock from his encounter. "Thanks Harry" said Ron as they touched down to the ground of the campsite.

The campsite was a solemn place, injured wizards, muggles and creatures everywhere. They were in awe at the site. The war had truly gotten worse in only a matter of days.

"Ron! Harry!" yelled a young woman’s voice. The boys turned quickly and was greeted by Ginny who’s face was weathered and dirtied. To the boys horror, she was wearing an apron stained with blood, some red some green, but none the less blood. They ran to greet her, they were happy to see her well but they were still surprised at her condition.

"Ginny!" exclaimed Ron. "You’re a mess!"

Ginny smiled and gave him a firm hug. "Nice to see you too dear brother." she said with a giggle. The three laughed and suddenly Harry turned around to see Hermione also dirtied and wearing a blood stained apron. The boys ran to her and greeted her giving her both a firm hug.

"We’ve been assisting the field healers and the muggles surgeons.." said Hermione wiping the sweat from her face. And then continued. "Cho is the healers apprentice and Parvati is her assistant, they needed as much help as they can Luna is even assisting, they need a lot of help." as Hermione was telling them what has been happening, Parvati Ran out of a tent in a hysteric state.

"Where’s Ensign Morrissey!!" she cried. "The surgeons need assistance quick!" Quickly Hermione and Ginny turned to Ron and Harry.

"Where is he?" asked Hermione.

"He told us he’d meet us here" Said Harry "Why do u need Him?"

"Because I’m a surgical nurse"
Harry and Ron turned Around and saw the ensign behind them.

"Sir it looks bad, the surgeons need help" said Parvati who was panicking even more. And so the Ensign ran into the tent with out hesitation.

"What about Cho?" asked Ginny. But before Parvati could answer more and more injured arrived.

"We must go!" said Hermione in a hurry.

"Wait Hermione!! I need to talk to you." exclaimed Ron. But Ginny, Hermione and parvati ran quickly in to the healers tent. "But... I love you..." Ron uttered under his breath.

Harry and Ron watched as more and more injured were rushed into the tent.

"Harry I need to tell her." Said Ron with a shaky voice. "I need to tell her ..."

"That you love her... I know, I’ve always known"said Harry as he put his arm around Ron.

"Is it that Bloody obvious" exclaimed Ron angrily. Harry smiled and answered in a soft consoling voice. "Very my friend. You need to tell her Ron" Soon an Auror walked over to them and filled them in on what has been happening as the watch others get ready to set off for battle until suddenly....

"NO!!!!" Screamed a woman from the healers tent.

Everyone turned to see who had screamed. The boys felt chills down their spines upon hearing the cry. Soon Luna Lovewood ran out of the healers tent holding a woman who was crying hysterically. The crying woman’s face was hidden but her sobs were incredibly loud. Luna was trying her hardest to console the woman but to no avail. Soon, the ensign walked out wearing a blood stained apron toward Luna and the woman. He looked very serious. The crying woman buried her face into Luna’s shoulder as to not hear what the Ensign had to say. Everyone watched silently, more people crowded closer to the healers tent to see what ensign had to say. As the ensign stood over Luna and the crying woman he shook his head and said in the saddest way.

"I’m sorry..."

Everyone around the tent was quiet. All with sad faces, some with tears but no words were said. The muggles soldiers took off their helmets and head gear and placed the upon their chests. And still all was silent... except for the woman crying.





Chapter 4




"I didn’t know what to do, no one did their was too many people inside it was chaos Harry I was so confused. It was horrible Harry. Horrible!" cried Ginny. Harry held her tight and kissed her forehead. Ron turned to Hermione who was Holding back her tears.

"Who was it?" asked Harry

"I don’t know" said Hermione. "I was helping a house elf who had broke his leg and before I knew it every one ran into another room with a very injured wizard. Luna saw everything. The healers couldn’t do anything so the muggle surgeons tried to fix the wizard but... it was horrible Harry." Harry held Ginny tightly who was still in tears. Ron heart started to pound and the though of the poor woman crying.

"Hermione" said Ron softly. Hermione turned and saw the grim expression he had.

"What is it Ron what’s wrong?" she asked. Ron grabbed her hand and pulled her to the side.

"Hermione I need to tell you something..." Ron said in a low sad voice. "The war is getting worse and worse by the day and if I don’t make it..." Hermione’s eyes swelled with tears and suddenly interrupted Ron.

"Don’t talk like that Ron" she cried. Instantly she pulled him close and held him firmly as tears began to flow soon Ron started again. "Hermione I wish I’ve told you sooner but..."

"Ron!! Harry!!"yelled a voice interrupting Ron. Harry and Ron turned to the voice and saw a young man limping toward them holding a broken broom.

"Neville!!" Harry shouted. Ron and Harry rushed to his aide and suddenly Neville collapsed in harry’s arms. He was extremely fatigued from his journey from the war front. With every breath that he could use Neville spoke.

"Ron, Harry...Voldemort is sending another wave... we need reinforcements..." exhausted Neville passed out. Hermione and Ginny rushed Neville to the Healers tent. Harry and Ron went to inform the Auror’s to readied their troops.

"Inform Ensign Morrissey we are needed at the front. Tell him to ready his men!" ordered Harry to a House elf. The elf ran and disappeared in a pop to relay Harry’s message . Instantly Ron and Harry mounted their brooms and set off to the war front.

Closer and closer they flew. The sounds of explosions filled the air. Gunfire and Spells flew at them from the ground. Hippogruff’s fought Dragon’s in mid air as Dementor flew around them. Closer and closer they flew. As they drew nearer Muggle soldiers dropped out of their airship onto the battleground. Harry and Ron descended into the heart of the battle.

"Stay close Ron" said Harry dodging a Fireball.

"Well I wasn’t planning on leaving ." Said Ron in a sarcastic tone.

And so the started casting spells in every direction, dodging attacks from the enemy. A troll spotted Harry and ran to him and they fought furiously. Ron moved aside to let them fight and suddenly Ron felt a chill go down his back. Slowly he turned and to his horror he saw a cave troll rushing toward him. He froze in horror as he saw the troll lift his giant axe ready to strike him down. Instantly his mind went blank, and flashed before his eyes was Hermione’s face. "Hermione" he whispered to himself. He squeezed his wand with rage. As the troll strolled closer, Ron raise his wand and stared angrily in to the trolls eyes and in a painful roar Ron yelled...

"STUPEFY!!!!"

A beam from his wand struck the troll between the eyes and down the troll fell... only 3 feet in front of Ron. Harry who had just only defeated his troll looked beside him to see if and Ron was safe, and in amazement... He saw Ron smiling... with his foot on top of a giant troll.

"What took you so long?" Ron asked Harry who had a surprised look in his face.

Together they fought. Harry had never seen Ron fight as bravely and as strongly as he did today. Smoke and fire filled the skies. Sparks from wands whizzed past their heads as they fought further into the heart of the battle. Muggles on the side of the dark lord fought fiercely as did the ones fighting against him. As the battle raged on the boys were separated by and explosion. Harry fought Death Eater after Death Eater. Ron fought Dark Creature after Dark Creature. The battle grew longer and Ron set off to look for Harry in the mist of all the chaos. Ron searched over the battlefield stunning any minion who dare cross him.

"HARRY!!!!" Ron cried in utter horror. As he looked down he saw Harry Crawling on the ground with a bleeding shoulder. Ron flew down as fast as he could to Harry’s side. Harry caught sight of Ron and called for him. Ron rushed to his aide and held Harry close, embracing him firmly.

"It’s hurt’s Ron, terribly. I can’t move it!" cried Harry in immense pain as he held his shoulder. Ron raise hi wand in the air and instantly a flare shot into the sky.

Chapter 5





Ron stayed close to the very injured Harry as the battle raged on. Around him wands were waving. Muggles discharging their weapons. Giants wrestled Trolls as freed house elves fought those under command of the dark lord. Amidst the chaos Ron heard him name being called from above.
"RON!!" yelled two voices in unison. Ron looked up and two his surprise and relief saw his brother Fred and George flying toward them. George had a muggle riding with him on his broom.

"We knew it was you!" said Fred with a Boisterous laugh.

"How!" Ron asked angrily.

"Well, we saw the flare and it was crooked so we assumed it was you." George said also laughing. The muggle who rode with George quickly leaped of the broom and ran to aide Harry.

"Okay son this is going to hurt" said the muggle who was examining Harry’s wound. Harry screamed in agony as the muggle cleaned his wound. Quickly the muggle turned to Fred and George.

"I can patch him up right here but he needs to see a surgeon immediately!" the man said urgently.

Fred quickly picked Harry up and mounted him on his broom. "We’re going to bring him back to camp." said Fred. As the muggle mounted George’s broom, George turned his face to Ron. "You’d best follow us." he said. And soon they flew off.

Ron quickly mounted his broom and followed them yet after only lifting off the ground a spell had struck him tossing him many yards. As Ron laid disoriented on the ground the Death Eater who struck him slowly walked towards him with his wand at the ready. The Death eater smiled down at Ron pointing the wand close to Ron’s face. Ron, now in pain, looked up to see the Death Eater’s wand pointing directly between his eyes.

"Any last words?" said the Death Eater viciously.

Ron’ life flashed before his eyes and everything flashed before him. Hogwart’s. His family. Harry. And...

"Hermione.." Ron said softly.

As the Death Eater was about to strike he was caught of guard by an explosion behind him. At that moment Ron raised his wand and in agony yelled...

"CRUCIO!!!!"

As the Death Eater fell Ron quickly ran. Ron looked around and was shocked to discover that he was separated from his broom.

The chaos of the battle only added to his confusion. He searched, dodging spells, bullets and even boulders which the trolls were catapulting. Soon he caught site of it. He Ran towards it, but before it was with reach he tripped and fell hard on to the ground. As he tried to erect himself he heard a voice behind him cry.

" WATCH OUT!!!!"

A man quickly ran in front of Ron. But before Ron could turn to see who it was... BANG BANG BANG...the man fell to his knees and flat on the ground. Ron pointed his wand and yelled "REDUCTO" the beam from his wand struck a muggle fighting for the dark lord who hid behind some rocks. Ron rushed to the side that was struck down lying face down beside Ron’s broom. Ron turned the man over and tears began to pour out of Ron’s eyes.

"Ensign?" Sobbed Ron, he held the man who he spoke to on the helicopter and wailed. Suddenly the man moved. Ron looked and saw the Ensign reach into his pockets and pulled out two letters.

"This one is for you kid... send this one to the address on it." said the Ensign. The officer was trying hard to stay conscious forcing his eyes open.

"Why did you do this!?" Ron cried as tears from his eyes landed on the Ensigns face. The officer turned his face and smiled at Ron and said. "So you won’t make the same mistake I did kid..." and with his last breath. "... tell her." the Ensign took a deep breath in... and his eyes closed... and stayed shut.

Ron quickly put the 2 notes into his pocket. Ron pulled the heavy body of the officer and with all the strength he could gather and mounted the body on his broom. He held the body firmly as he flew back to the base camp. He flew as fast as he could. The moon above him only showed how long he has been at battle. The voice of the Ensigns filled Ron’s head with the constant repetitions of his last words... tell her... And finally he had arrived at the base camp.





Chapter 6






Parvati made her way through to Ron and gently took him by the arm and escorted him to the healing tent. It was obvious that the event of the day had severely drained him. In the healing tent Parvati sat him in the bed next to Harry whom was fast asleep healing from his severely injured shoulder. A woman with very sad eyes walked over to Ron. It was Cho who was the healers apprentice at the camp. She walked over to Ron holding a tray of potions.

"Drink these... you’ll feel better." she said softly.

Ron took the tray and smiled and the young woman who only gave to him a attempt at a smile. As she was walking out Luna walked in. Luna smiled at Cho and they looked at each other not uttering a word and Cho left.

"She had a hard day. As did you two" she said smiling pointing at Harry who was Snoring incredibly loud. "You need to rest Ron" she walked over to Ron and took the tray of potions that Ron had finished taking and left the room. Quickly Ron reached into his pocket and pulled out the letter that the ensign had gave him and read it....





Dear Mr. Weasley,



Hey kid, I wrote this to you because I want to give you a bit of advice. I never told the woman I loved that I loved her. And I don’t want you to make the same mistake I did. Like you I kept my love a secret because I feared she would reject me... which I thought would hurt me more... but I was very wrong... with every battle I fight I realized that the next day may be my last which means it may be the last chance I have to tell her how I feel. So my advice to you kid is to ... "Don’t wait till tomorrow to say what your heart feels now"

please Ron... before it’s too late...

...tell her...

sincerely,

Jack Morrissey
















"This will help you sleep" she said. "You need to rest Ron" she handed Ron the potion and she continued to speak. "This war has taught me that something as simple as rest is precious... and every thing that is precious to you, must be kept as close and as dear as you can make it.." tears slowly rolled down her eyes as she was trying to utter out s few last words. ".. Because you never know when that precious and dear thing... will be lost". Ron took the potion but watched Cho sobbed beside him. He didn’t ask her what was wrong because he knew that this war was difficult for everyone.

"Did you help Harry" Ron asked politely.

"No." she said softly. "the muggle surgeons did... I was... busy. He’ll be fine in the morning but I won’t be here I’m going to the front they need healers on the field"

"Are you worried" Ron asked with his eyes barely open. It was obvious the potion was taking affect.

"A little, but they need healers. And my apprenticeship is almost over so this is my time to start healing people without assistance..." before she could finish, Ron’s eyes slowly started to close and he fell asleep. She was about to walk out of the tent but stopped shortly next to Harry’s bed she looked at him sleeping and more tears began to fall and slowly she walked out of the room.

Chapter 7

The next morning Ron awoke to discover that Harry was out of his bed, however he

turned to his right and saw that Hermione was sitting beside him.

"Good morning Ron" she said with a great smile. "Harry is with Ginny. She was deathly worried about him. In hysterics she was. I was so worried when Fred and George came back with Harry, they said you were close behind them.. But when you didn’t return... I thought... I thought you..."

But before she could finish her sentence she broke down in tears. She leaned over and held Ron with a very strong hug. Her eyes dripping with tears she pulled herself away to continue talking to Ron who was still waking up... she wiped her eyes on her sleeves and started.

"Cho told everyone you will be fine, she left early this morning with 6 auror escorts to the field for her new assignment. She sent a message to your parents to inform them that your in good health they will be here next week to get a report for the Ministry. Everyone is outside waiting for you... I will go get them" she stood up but before she could walk away Ron quickly grabbed her wrists.

"I love you." Ron said softly. "I always have... every day... every moment... even every argument, I loved them because they were with you. Well except when your bloody cat attacked Scabbers... but Scabbers deserved it because he wasn’t Scabbers..." Ron quickly paused because he knew what he just said wasn’t romantic but he continued. "Hermione ever since I first met you I knew I felt something for you. But I was afraid that our friendship would be ruined if I had told you but I was wrong... Our friendship is what made my love for you grow... And last night I realized... it what keeps me alive.

Hermione’s eyes again started to tear and Ron stood up quickly and pulled her close. "Even if you don’t love me..." but before Ron could utter another word Hermione kissed him but suddenly out of no where slapped him across the face. Ron’s eye grew wide and as he looked to Hermione she cried harder. But they were what looked like tears of joy.

"About time!" she yelled as she pulled him close. She held him tight and held him firmly. "I’ve waited every day for you to tell me. Night after night when you and Harry were fighting in the west I wished that I could have told you that I loved you but I’ve was afraid too. I waited everyday to hear you tell me...and now my wishes had come true" she touched his face which had a red hand mark on his left cheek and in a soft voice said. "I love you I always have."

"Hermione" Ron sighed. "We’ll never know how this war will end but please Hermione... " he lifted her chin and looked deeply into her eyes. ".. No matter what happens, I’ll love you always..in this life and the next." slowly he pulled away from Hermione and was slowly making his way out of the tent.

"Wait!" Cried Hermione. She ran over to Ron and kissed his forehead. "I’ll be back wait here." Ron smiled and nodded his head and Hermione ran out the tent. Ron stood their waiting patiently wondering what Hermione was up to. Moments later Hermione walked in followed by Harry, Ginny and Neville. They all ran to Ron and gave him a warm hug.

"What’s this?" said Ron smiling.

Hermione walked over to Ron and held his hands. "So we’ll always remember..." Suddenly Luna walk in to the tent holding a camera. Together they stood, Hermione holding Ron’s hand, Harry with his arm around Ginny and Neville at the end blowing a kiss at Luna as she took the photo.

"So we’ll always remember." said Ron softly to himself.

Shortly after they took the picture a house elf appeared into the tent. "Mr. Potter sir" panted the elf. "The troops are forming ready to leave to the front." added the elf. Harry nodded at the elf and looked at Ron and Neville, who already had their wands out Harry kissed Ginny on the forehead and Luna kissed Neville on the cheek.

"We’ll be outside Ron" said Harry smiling at Ron. Harry and Neville walked out followed by Luna and Ginny. Ron turned to Hermione and held her close.

"In this life.." Ron whispered kissing Hermione’s forehead. Hermione kissed his cheek and whispered in his ear "...And the Next"

Soon Ron walked out the tent and stood next to Harry and Neville. All three mounted their brooms. At the aurors signal they flew into the sky into their next battle... and into another day.





Chapter 8











Two years have past and Harry defeated the Lord Voldemort. The muggles went home

sworn never to talk about the war . Many wizards, witches, magical creature and muggle have lost their lives during the war, but all for the protection of the world. To keep it safe from Dark Magic and Evil. But sadly in the world of muggles the war never happened, and those muggles family’s who have lost someone in the war against the dark lord only knew they died in combat and nothing else. Some learned to cope... and others only try

A muggle woman sat alone in front of a window. Sobbing while holding an old picture. "What if?" she thought to herself. She watched as the wind blew, she watched leaves dancing in the air. She closed her eyes and thought deeply... "what if"...

TAP TAP

The muggle woman’s thoughts were interrupted a by a tap on her window. She open her eyes and saw an owl perched outside her window. She looked at it strangely. Owls aren’t common in her are let alone in her front yard. Suddenly she notice that a note was attached to it’s leg. She open the window and reached for the letter. She pet the owl softly and instantly the owl flew away. She looked at the envelope and notice it was very faded. She notice writing on it and read it aloud.





Care of Ron Weasley... I’m sorry for the delay.











She opened the envelope and found a old wrinkled letter. As she started to unfold the letter her heart started to pound... "the handwriting!" she said to herself and immediately she knew who it was from. And so she started to read.





" My Dearest Annabel Lee,



I don’t know if this will reach you but if it does then I know the worst has happened to me. I am writing this to let you know... that I love you... I know I’ve never told you and at time never acted like it but rest assured that I do. I’ve made the mistake of not telling you and now I know that it is a mistake I will never forget. But I just want you to remember that I will love you and always will. One day I know we will see each other again and I promise you... until that day I will wait to tell you in person... i'll wait patiently...

From Here To Eternity


Jack









"Why did you wait my love?" the woman said to herself. She fell to her knees and cried

holding the note close to her heart. She sat on the floor wishing she had receive the news earlier the note fell to the ground as did the picture she was holding in her hand... " I’m sorry..." she whispered.

"What’s wrong mommy?" said a little girl.

"Nothing Jackie just thinking of an old friend." the woman said hugging the little girl.

"Is he with daddy?" asked the little girl.

"Yes dear, he is" answered the woman, she picked up the little girl and carried her to her room.

On the ground the letter laid. Next to it a picture... two men in uniform...
