"I will not leave your side until you believe me my love. We are alive, and I have you to thank, so please wake up and understand that today."
It's my new chant, ever present thought first and always. Sitting at your bedside these past weeks, watching you get stronger every day. Somehow you did what no one would have believed, gave me your life. Dumbledore says you were very near death for that gift, but you kept us both safe in those final hours.
You used our link for your spell, my sweet hero, and that has bound us for eternity you know. That cannot be undone. I no longer know the madness you found me in. I fear that you do. When you gave me so much, did you take that in return? I will not give up... I cannot, will not, live without you. And you know how stubborn I can be when there is a problem to solve.
"Wake up now, come out here, foolish man and speak to me. I'm not leaving until you do," I say again, and again, and again.
You are mine as I am yours, and nothing can ever part us, not time or pain or magic can ever separate us again, my love. I'm sure you will walk from this hospital and join me today, as sure as I was yesterday, and as sure as I will be tomorrow.
'Of course my angel, but please, enough of this. Take me into the Garden, I'm so very tired now. Lay me in the grass, share your soul once more. Hermione, my own. Safe, finally...'
