Hermione Granger. WLW

The battle was over, but Hermione couldn't hear anything. She was only looking for Eleanor.

When he finally found her, he felt his heart stop. Leonor was on the ground, very weak and barely conscious.

Hermione: —Leonor…

He knelt beside her and took her hand in his.

Hermione: —No… please. Look at me.

Leonor's eyes slowly opened.

Leonor: —Hermione…

Hermione: —I'm here. I'm with you.

Hermione's voice broke.

Hermione: —All these years I thought I could lose anything… my home, my friends, even Hogwarts.

A tear fell onto her hand.

Hermione: —But I never imagined I'd have to learn to live without you.

Leonor: —Don't cry…

Hermione: —How can you expect me not to cry? You're the love of my life.

Hermione gently rested her forehead against Leonor's.

Hermione: —I love you. It doesn't matter what anyone says, it doesn't matter your last name or what house you're from. I chose you.

Leonor: —And I… would always choose you.

Hermione: —Then stay with me. Please… I’m not ready to say goodbye yet.

Leonor weakly squeezed his hand.

Leonor: —You won't have to do it.

Hermione closed her eyes and hugged her gently, crying with relief.

Hermione: —I love you, my Rosier
