Pairing: Harry/Hermione
Time: Horcrux Hunting
"You know Hermione, maybe we should just run away? Leave this all behind." Harry suggested, poking at the fire with a stick.
Hermione sighed, pulling the blanket around her tighter. "You know we can't do that Harry."
He huffed. "I know we can't, but that doesn't mean that I don't want too."
Hermione remained silent for a few moments. "I want to too," she said softly.
Harry looked up at her, taking in her appearance. She looked haggard, like she hadn't slept or eaten in days. He frowned, knowing that was the case.
"Then let's go. We'll go to America, or something. We'll start new lives, together." Harry said.
"But what about everyone else? You know we couldn't just forget about them…" Hermione said sadly.
We could. Let's obliviate ourselves." Harry said, knowing it was a stupid idea.
"No. Besides, Harry, people are counting on us. And Ginny is waiting for you." Hermione sighed. "We can't do this."
Harry grumbled, poking the fire some more.
Hermione closed her eyes, willing her mind not to drift down that path.
