Being Hermione Granger's girlfriend:
• You were a half—breed: your mother was a full-blooded sorceress, and your father was a Muggle-born wizard.
• But your mother's family accepted your father almost without problems, realizing that your mother loved him.
• That's why you had your mother's family home in magical Britain and your father's house in the UK. You were regularly with your parents both there and there.
• On September 1, 1991, you and your parents went to King's Cross Station so that you could get on the train and go to Hogwarts, where you were accepted a week ago. In Diagon Alley, you bought in advance, so you didn't have to worry about something not being enough.
• You were bored on the train, and you walked around the compartment to get acquainted with the same freshmen as you.
• There you met Hermione Granger, and you immediately began to communicate.
• You were amazed at her intelligence.
• Later, at Hogwarts, you were surprised that Hermione chose the Gryffindor faculty instead of Ravenclaw.
• The hat has assigned you to Hufflepuff.
• Ran to the Gryffindor living room to chat with Hermione and her friends, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley.
• Because Hermione was usually always busy and it was easier for you to come to the living room of their faculty and wait there than to run around the castle in the hope that you would stumble upon the Potter-Weasley-Granger trinity somewhere.
• Hermione treasured your friendship, as well as her friendship with Harry and Ron.
• Although at first Ron was not particularly happy that Hermione was friends with them, because she annoyed him, but then he accepted it and even began to reckon with her.
• A very happy Hermione shared this with you, and you were happy for her.
• You didn't quite understand Hermione's craving to be the best in class, but you decided to try to learn something new as well, and unbeknownst to yourself, you got involved and fell in love with it (and Hermione helped you).
• Of course, the true face of Professor Quirinus Quirrell came as a shock not only to your company, but to the whole school.
• During the summer holidays, you often wrote letters to her.
• And also came to visit her. Of course, if her parents were not against the guests (but they never were against it, because you specifically picked a convenient time).
• When you were spending time with your father, Hermione also came to you.
• She was a little scared to go to your mother, still a pure-blooded sorceress… How would she react to her daughter's Muggle-born friend?
• But one day she decided to do it.
• And her fears were not justified, because your mother was the very charm.
• And my father didn't understand at all why Hermione was afraid of your family. But when your mother explained everything to him, everything fell into place for him.
• Gradually, Hermione relaxed and began to feel at home in your home.
• You were glad about it, because she looked happy and calm.
• By the way, your mom was glad that you were reaching for knowledge following the example of Hermione (you buzzed all the ears of your family about this Muggle-born sorceress).
• But summer invariably ended and you had to return to Hogwarts.
• At Hogwarts, Hermione was not left alone with deadly problems. She was always getting into trouble with Harry and Ron, and then she came to you for advice.
• You couldn't advise her much, but you could sympathize with the fact that the Golden Trio is again in another mess, which Harry got into again — easily.
• But when you began to learn more spells in class, you began to help them with what you could.
• Hermione was very grateful to you for your help and support, because she was obviously already tired of pulling these two idiots out of all dangers. And it wasn't hard for you to help.
• Harry, by the way, got himself into more and more trouble, and when he announced that the Dark Lord had returned — so in general… No one in the Ministry believed him (Fudge, in particular, and several other people loyal to him).
• But you, Hermione, and Ron believed him, even if not quite right away.
• The four of you had to unravel this case, because the three of them already attracted too much attention (because they followed each other like they were attached!), and few people knew about you, as well as about your friendly relations with Ron and Harry. With Hermione, everything was clear as day, with her you were best friends, looked after and helped each other if something suddenly happened.
• After some time, you realized that your attitude towards Hermione was no longer entirely friendly. You realized that you like her not only as a friend, but also as a girl. Potential.
• This thought put you in a stupor for a while. You couldn't study properly because you kept coming back to this topic in your mind all the time. The guys and teachers noticed that something was wrong with you, but their attempts to ask and try to help you didn't lead to anything, because you didn't want to share it.
• Hermione herself was among those who questioned you, but you couldn't even open up to her.
• Would you like to tell her, but how?
"Hermione, I like you, but not as a friend, but as a girl"?
"You attract me as a girl..."?
"I don't like Harry and Ron, I like you..."? Ugh you!
• In the end, it couldn't go on like this anymore and Hermione herself brought you to this conversation.
"Please explain what is happening to you? I'm worried about you," Hermione said worriedly, looking into your eyes.
"Damn it, Hermione..." you took a deep breath and exhaled to calm down and gather your courage, and then closed your eyes and blurted out as if in spirit, "ILoveYouAndYouWantToMakeMeRepeatThis..."* your tirade was interrupted by a light kiss on the cheek. Taken aback, you opened your eyes and looked at the confused Hermione, who whispered "I'm sorry..." and tried to run away. But you didn't let her do it by grabbing her hand and pulling her to you. The first kiss happened right there.
• And Hermione quickly offered to date you, to which you agreed.
• You didn't hide your relationship, but you didn't talk about it much either. That is, they said that you were together, if they asked you, and if they didn't ask, then why was it necessary to say?
• You became the only person who was allowed to call her "Hermy".
• When Hermione had to erase her parents' memories to keep them safe, you were the one who comforted her, saying that when Harry defeated the Dark Lord, she would be able to restore their lost memories.
• You wanted to go with the guys to look for horcruxes, but Hermione asked you to stay at Hogwarts, because it's "safer" (as they say, Hogwarts is the safest place, yes). You had to agree, but you didn't want to let her go for a very long time.
• Life at Hogwarts became a real hell when the Death Eaters came there, and Severus Snape took over as director. No, you had boundless respect for Snape (Dumbledore once told you "Not everything is what it seems", alluding to Professor Snape), but it was hard to believe that he was actually on the side of the light when he killed Dumbledore himself and became director after him.
• Although to some extent he protected the students from cruel tortures and deadly spells, for which you respected him even more.
• Professor McGonagall knew that you and Hermione were together, so she periodically asked if you had any news.
• One day you heard the code phrase "Lightning struck!" on the radio of the Potter's Watch. It was a secret signal. Harry Potter is back at Hogwarts. Your heart beat joyfully, but you hurried to calm yourself. It is not known whether Ron and Hermione returned with him, so you quickly packed up and carefully, checking whether you were being followed, headed to the meeting place of the squad.
• When you saw Hermione, the first thing you did was hug her tightly. While Harry was explaining that they need to find the Dark Lord's horcrux, they know for sure that he is in the castle and is connected to the Ravenclaw, you and she held hands tightly, as if afraid that if you uncouple your hands, everything will disappear.
• While Harry went in search of Candida Ravenclaw's tiaras, as suggested by the Moon, you, Hermione and Ron helped strengthen the defenses around the castle. Then they left to help Harry, and you stayed with Professor McGonagall and the other adults who were still casting spells.
• When the Dark Lord came to Hogwarts, you were one of those who cast protection spells and defended the castle. It's not for nothing that you studied for so many years.
• During this time, Harry has already managed to destroy the penultimate horcrux, tell you that the last horcrux is the snake of the Dark Lord, Nagaina, go into the forest, fight Voldemort and die.
• During the Dark Lord's attack on Hogwarts with his minions, Hermione was desperately looking for you. But you were standing too far away, next to McGonagall, and she didn't dare go to you.
• It physically hurt you to see Harry dead in Hagrid's arms. Your hope faded so quickly, barely having time to light up.
• But when he came to life, hope came back to you in particular. You turned your head, looking around and noticing the joyful smiles of your friends.
• Later, you asked Harry about what really happened there in the woods. The news that Narcissa Malfoy literally saved his life and also saved the magical world from a powerful dark wizard did not immediately fit in your head.
• Remembering that you need to kill a snake, you couldn't figure out how to kill it, how to at least lure it out if it is constantly with Voldemort? He cherished her as the apple of his eye, because she was his last horcrux, the last fragment of his soul, and if she died, he would become vulnerable and mortal.
• But Neville managed to kill Nagaina, for some reason sent by the Dark Lord to the castle, while Voldemort himself went to kill Harry Potter. But why did he send it? To kill more people?
• After the victory, you could not believe for a long time that it was real and that everything was really over, forever.
• Hermione really restored her parents' memory after the war, and at the same time introduced you to them as her girlfriend, because they already knew you as a friend.
• And you, in turn, introduced her to your parents in a new status. They were very happy for the two of you.
• After all the deaths of friends and teachers over the years of study, Hermione is a ray of light in your life.
• The next Christmas, she proposed to you, to which you gladly agreed.
• The news that the heroine of the war and her girlfriend are tying the knot for several weeks was on the front page of all newspapers in magical Britain.
• Rita Skeeter even tried to get comments from you two, but you flatly refused to give them to her.
• When Hermione was promoted to Minister of Magic, you were incredibly proud of her. But you didn't brag, it wasn't in your nature, and there was no point.
• You are proud that your wife is the smartest sorceress of her age.
• You have Muggle inventions at home and you or Hermione often use them: cooking, cleaning, washing.
• Very gentle with each other.
• You love her immensely and she responds to you in the same way.
