THE ONLY REASON

by: tweety-src-clt9

As far as he could remember, she had always been the reason why he did most things.

She was the reason why he battled a troll at eleven.

He avenged her from the basilisk.

He almost gave up when she fell at the Department of Mysteries, but carried on when Neville found a pulse.

He endured everything in the war and pushed through… because as a muggleborn, he only wanted to keep her safe.

From the smallest things, like waking up early so he could have breakfast with her, to doing his homework on time…

Hermione had always been the only reason.

He even abandoned Cho on a date just for her.

As he watches his new bride sleep soundly by his side, he smiled. She had always been the reason why he chose to carry on living.
