Any fics where Hermione dies and Harry or Ron go looking for her parents in Australia?
I could see this making for a good, if emotionally difficult, fic. Whoever goes looking for them would potentially need to go see them in England then try to discover what happened to them, track them down, then either restore their memory and explain what happened or let them go on in ignorance.
If anyone knows of a story similar I would love to read it

Why would they do that? "Hey, remember your beloved only child? Well, she's dead."
Expecting a traumatized teenager who just went through a war and lost many people to make the same choice shouldn't be a given.
Also, people will do a lot for a war buddy, it's a deep bond and one Harry or Ron also had years of close friendship with Hermione to go with that.
I'dif(thanks auto correct) Hermione left a letter or diary entry or expressed regret over her actions while dying?Sounds like a very hard choice to make. If you have never had to make difficult choices in regards to the wishes of a dying person you care about, Count yourself lucky.
...I thought the whole goal of doing this was to keep them safe and spare them the pain should she die, but if you've dreamt up a reason for her to change her mind.... well... okay then...
i dont remember the sparing them the pain if she dies part but that might have been part of cannon, its been a while since i read that book. regardless, you dont think a year of guilt and fighting a war, especially if you are convinced you will die, couldn't change your perspective?
especially if you said something while actually dying? teenagers dont always make the best or rational of decisions, neither do guilt ridden people or dying people or people fighting in wars, especially in high risk situations.
and again, Ron or Harry would need to restore their memories, as with pretty much all stories, the point is the journey, not the destination.
It's your party
The child that incapacitated you, deprived you and sent you into the desert.
A lot of mixed feelings too. "I can't hate her because she's dead, but even if she's dead does that mean she was right to do what she did?"
