hey y'all. this is gonna be my last hp update for this summer. i've had an absolute blast, it's been amazing to read your supportive reviews. to all my regular reviewers *cough jessica cough jessica*, you're epic.

i don't know when i'll update during the school year. i'm in the middle of creating two collabs in the kingdom keepers section, and i am not sure what the schedule is gonna be for that. (and honestly, even as it's being published, i don't think I'll know then). But whenever i get a free friday, i will do my best to update here. requests are most definitely accepted.

inspired by that precious little scene when hermione and ron hold hands at the end of HPDHP2 ;) this is a sister fic to my first freeverse of the summer, "silence".

much thanks to you all, again, you're all beautiful. :)

noise

. . .

and now, there's answers

it's all clear and in crystal

that they are a confirmed togetherness,

a real relationship,

an established bond.

it's loud and clear

and no one needs to think about singular persons

anymore.

it's one.

they were supposed to be the star-crossed lovers

the twinkles above said so

but that title's been beaten

by every kiss and every embrace

every loving gaze that is repeated plenty times in every conversation.

they will always be hermioneron,

and that's destiny.

there's an uneasy peace surrounding them

the aftermath of the clash.

lives lost, lives ruined,

families torn apart.

a castle, their home, their home

lies in rubble

the price of freedom

from an evil reign.

and yet…

beyond this disaster, this calamity

something lies underneath their feet

that sit, side by side, close together,

his jeans brushing up against her knee.

it's the new life that they've been gifted

the blessing to live

to finally break free from the rules

to, at last, love each other.

her shoulder is leaning against his

his hand is clasped onto hers

and everything seems perfect.

some would say that love is tedious and wearying

but one look at these two

and you see the real meaning.

it's pure, it's strong,

real and truthful

it's powerful like you wouldn't believe,

it's what held them together,

even if they didn't know it.

she whispers to him, leaning ever closer so,

and asks if this is all a dream.

and he responds,

it very well could be,

but it's a bloody noisy one,

and that's more likely to make it real.

then they accept

that life is like this now.

they wouldn't rather have it any other way.
