The truth is that Ron already lost Hermione at the moment when she chose to die with Harry rather than live with him for their future together.

What's your favourite genre? Oh idk, maybe Harry's pure rage and panic when someone aims to kill Hermione.

Order of the Phoenix

My boy threw all caution to the winds and was willing to bodyslam the attacker because "we can go down together but you are NOT harming her"

it's also interesting how his muggle upbringing is very much reflected here but we will talk about that later

Deathly Hallows

"Wiped all else from his mind" is so brilliantly phrased because it implies how Harry forgot his priorities at that moment and decided attacking Crabbe was more important (even after Hermione was out of harm's way for the moment) like "the horcrux i have been seeking for months? we will come back to that later. but did you just fucking DARE try to kill my best friend-"

The other day, I saw someone on Reddit note how Harry and Hermione use each other's wands.

It is wild to me that in the very first book - the same book where Olivander introduces us to the fated nature of Harry's wand and it being the brother wand to Voldemort's - Hermione casually takes Harry's wand to cast alohomora during their chase after the stone.

And, as reddit also pointed out, stark contrasts are drawn between the blackthorn wand that Ron gives Harry and Hermione's wand. Harry isn't noted to struggle to cast spells with Hermione's wand - he effortlessly casts a shield charm in fact. He certainly struggles with the blackthorn wand. And this is in Deathly Hallows, the other book where wand lore is presented by Olivander.

So, we have Harry commenting actively on how the blackthorn wand doesn't work well. But even before that, Ron struggled with a hand-me-down wand, and the books emphasize that wands are mercurial in a way. Harry is successful with Draco's wand because he overcame Draco. He can wield the Elder wand for a similar wand-lore reasons. Voldemort is shown using a variety of wands, but they aren't ideal and he is constantly seeking the right wand to defeat Harry.

But Harry and Hermione wield each other's wands without trouble from the get-go.

There's a few places in the books where magic is implied to signal underlying compatibility. James and Lily's patronuses are the obvious example. So it feels meaningful (though certainly unintentional) that Harry and Hermione - who have very different wands - are evidenced to use each other's wands without issue.

Particularly, it seems odd that Hermione can use Harry's wand so readily when Harry's wand is one of the most deeply magical in the series. Of all the wands we meet, the three most magically special in the series are the Elder Wand, Voldemort's, and Harry's.

So this girl who is in no way tied (other than her deep affection for Harry) to that entire deal can just use Harry's very magical wand? Really?

Just feels like another moment where the story knew what it wanted to be before it was contorted into what it became.

Fic: this kind of love (1/1) | HP, Harry/Hermione

Summary: Love kept them alive. Years later, it’s still the only thing that does.

Rating: M

TL;DR - Five years after the war, Harry is the DADA professor, and Hermione is the Head of Dept of Magical Reform who’s working on the Muggleborn Integration Program. There’s a lot of introspection involved, some wizarding politics, some observant kids. There’s absolutely no pining or denial that happens whatsoever. /s

Preview under the cut:

“Hogwarts has changed so much,” she says quietly. “Not on a physical level. The magic here...it’s lighter again. But also like...”

“Like it’s grieving.”

Her eyes are glistening. “Yes. Still.”

He nods, his fingers reaching out despite himself to cover the ends of hers still resting on the tree trunk. “I think it’s always going to be there now,” he says, his voice soft, “that magic. That feeling. Like the castle’s reminding itself and everyone that walks through it about everything that happened here. About everything we all fought for.”

His hand reaches out further. She meets him halfway, slotting her fingers through his in such a gentle way that makes his heart ache. “I think it’s more bittersweet,” she says, “and a tad bit hopeful, even though it’s sad. Like there are all these horrors, but...there’s also all this light shining through.”

The wind shifts, and he looks at her, at their entwined fingers, and he thinks of how her voice and her words have always steadied him when it felt like everything else was breaking.

“That’s beautiful,” he tells her. “I hadn’t thought of it that way before. I’ve been feeling the grief the castle’s been carrying a lot, to be honest. Since I first came here, and that was...Merlin, five years ago.” Something bigger lodges itself inside his throat, like an unspoken truth kept secret, and is finally ready to be heard. “But then I see all the kids...my students. Especially the younger ones, the ones who weren’t here during the battle. And they help me remember the good things, despite everything. And that helps. I think the castle feeds on that, too—all those memories and the things that make life beautiful and worth living.”

Her smile is trembling when she clutches his hand tighter. She’s warm. Always steady. Her other hand straightens the scarf around his neck, fingers lingering on his skin. He tries to remind himself to breathe.

She whispers, “So let’s give it more good things to remember.”

I don’t think I’ve ever posted anything Harry x Hermione related on Tumblr. But I’m going to anyways. I’ve loved this ship since I was five years old and I’ve always preferred them over Romione and Hinny. No shame to the ship, I never liked Romione and Hinny. But I love the way Harry and Hermione look. Plus they remind me of Percabeth.

If I was Ron, after this sentence I would be jealous too.

Harry likes how creative Hermione is :)

‘What’s a soulmate?’ 'It’s uh… Well, it’s like a best friend, but more. It’s the one person in the world that knows you better than anyone else. It’s someone who makes you a better person. Actually, they don’t make you a better person, you do that yourself because they inspire you. A soul mate is someone who you carry with you forever. It’s the one person who knew you and accepted you and believed in you before anyone else did or when no one else would. And no matter what happens, you’ll always love her. Nothing can ever change that.’ (Dawson’s Creek)
