A/N: Only four reviews! Boy, I feel less inflated now! ^_^ This is more of a filler chapter, and so is the next. Just because I need some time to get the Jane story up to a poit where you'll all understand without me repeating the same things over and over.
Gratuities:
Tori-chan: Aww, gee, thanks for the huggles. Bet you'll like this chapter too.
Katie Scarlette: YES GO READ THE OTHER STORY! ^_~ I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I'm glad you liked that I had Hermione get mad. I would be mad, so she ought to be mad.
violet: This chapter is going to be long too, and then we're going back to shorter chapters.
Claire Bear Blondie: We're not going to go into what Dumbledore says, because it is mostly, "That's fine, but no sex until she's old enough, blablablah." Typical Dumbledore stuff.
Story:
I have never been the kind of person to throw caution to the wind. Nor have I ever been the kind of man to enjoy myself to the fullest. Even when I was a Death Eater, I found little joy in what I did. Voldemort knew this, and would always find me something else to do. He seemed to think that my lack of enthusiasm would rub off on others.
But now, with Hermione. . . Things are different. She asks me about myself, asks about my past, present. . . We have even wondered about the future. I have fallen for this girl with all my heart and soul. She asks little of me, and yet it is a great deal.
We are not lovers. But we are in love. I have yet to ask her if her friends know. That is her business, and not mine. She asks me what it might be like without Voldemort, and I return that I have little doubt that it would be a better place. She laughed at me when I said that the first time.
I wonder of we are both as frightened of the future as we say. With the end of the war, this might all end. I could lose her, and she could lose her friends. Potter. . . I doubt he will survive the final conflict. Truthfully, I do not see any of us surviving this. We will pass away into dust, the rest of the world oblivious to what we have done.
