Harry's 16th Birthday

Dear Harry,

Harry, I do hope you're alive, this way you'll be the first to know. If I haven't been able to work up the nerve to tell you this, then I want you to know now.

But first, I want to tell everyone that, if you are dead, I miss you. And if you are dead, I'm probably dead too, I wouldn't be able to survive with out you.

Harry, I love you. There, I wrote it. I love you Harry, I've loved you since second year. I've never allowed myself to feel it, but after Sirius, well, I knew I would eventually have to tell you.

Harry, I hope that I tell you this when we start school, I hope you know before the final battle. But if not, well, I wanted you to know.

Harry, I don't love you because you're the "boy who lived" or "the savior," I love you because you're you. You're brave and loyal. You're honest and you always try to help others. Harry, you're my hero, but I do wish you would stop trying to save everyone. You never think about yourself, always about others. You didn't have a good childhood, yet you show pity to those who were better off than you. Harry I love you, and if you are dead, than hang on, because I am coming.

But you can't die. You can't die because the world needs you, the order needs you, I need you. Please, survive, survive and come back to me, come back to me Harry please.

Harry, do you love me? People tell me you do. They say you've loved me all along. They've been telling me this since second year. Do you Harry?

Love Forever and always, even after death,

Hermione Jane Granger


Okay, now you can all tell me how much you loved ((or hated)) this chapter by reviewing!
