Chapter Twenty-One: Realization
The realization of death never comes at once.
It is a series of moments that come into place. A book that is never-ending. A series of trying to accept what is no longer there. Even though the death of his godfather may have been weeks ago he knew that it was meant to be.
The hug he received from Hermione after the event in Gryffindor Tower was comforting and as the tears he shed fell onto her shirt he knew that she was able to understand.
Hermione…
His best friend, his confidant, his…
His what?
What was she to him?
