There had been many times over the past five years that Hermione had considered ending her life. She looked back on them all with shame now, not to mention a sense of cold dread, considering the incredible way things had turned out, but there it was. She couldn't change it anymore than she could erase the horrors she'd endured. But she'd come to think of it all as her toll, showing the courage and endurance to survive The Dark World Order and her marriage to Ron, all to make her strong enough to have Harry come back to her, for them to become powerful equals and finally embrace their love for one another, and to share a wonderful future of marriage and family.
