"It was the missing thing in his powers, he realized, knowing that there was someone in the world who loved him. Someone who’d said it. Hermione was his shield now, he couldn’t deny it. She was his protector, whether she was at the place where he fought Voldemort or not, she would be his shield. Her love now ensconced his heart, and no matter what Voldemort threw at him, he would be able to take it, he would overcome because she loved him…and he loved her.

He wanted to stay there, frozen, in that moment, watching her sleep, reveling in the revelation that she loved him enough to say it, and that he loved her enough to live for her.

“I love you too, Hermione.”"


Wonderfully said. very beautiful.... why can't jkr understand this wonderful and very powerful love?
great job tho

That was so cute, Hermione telling her love to Harry! And the way he is so surprised that somebody loves him!

Touching story. I like it better when you write stories of this kind of style. I read your other story, Proximity, which was.. admittedly, just a little weird, and confusing.

Oh my god....so beautiful I am actually crying. Why can't JK see what they share? Why can't she make it as real as it is in our hearts? Her words inspired us to believe in their love and now she needs to face up to the unspoken promise she made us when she wrote their characters.

Thank you Caina, for writing what we all feel deep down inside of our battered souls. Thank you, for still believing in them even when so many others do not.

Aww...that was cute. I loved how she said and then he said it back. Kind of creepy how he went to watch her sleep...but I loved how he comforted her in her sleep. Very good fic! Loved it!

What a sweet story. I really enjoyed it. I really loved Anyway, too, by the way.

Vert nice. It was short, sweet, and heart felt. Characters seem pretty much in character, and the writting was fantastic! Totally loved it!
