Hermione sat in front of Sirius and Remus, crying over her lovers' bodies. The war was over, and they were at St. Mungo's. Sirius and Remus were alive, but barely.
The healers didn't think the two of them would survive the night.
She sniffled, rubbing her eyes as Harry rested a hand on her shoulder, offering his own brand of silent comfort as he watched his godfather and honorary godfather slip away.
"It's not fair," Hermione whispered. "I didn't get enough time with them. It's just not fair."
"It isn't," Harry agreed.
She heard his tightly controlled emotions, and her heart ached for him as well. She wished he felt comfortable enough to let his emotions go in front of her, but she knew he thought he needed to be strong for her.
Hermione stood up on shaky legs and walked in-between the two beds, resting on hand on Sirius's stomach and the other on Remus's stomach.
"I don't know if the two of you can hear me, but in case you can, I just want to say I love you. I love both of you, and I don't know how I would have made it through this war without you two at my side. You were my first loves, and I don't know how I'll be able to move on from the best men I know, but I will try because I know it's what the two of you would want for me. I just love you so much."
Suddenly, there was a bright orange light, and Hermione watched in awe as Fawkes flew over to them.
Harry stood up. "I haven't seen Fawkes since Dumbledore's funeral."
"What's he doing?" Hermione asked as the phoenix leaned over the beds.
"Sharing his tears with Remus and Sirius," Harry muttered excitedly.
"Will it be enough?" she asked fretfully.
Almost instantly, Sirius's fingers began twitching and Remus's head moved side-to-side as he slowly woke up.
"That's your answer," Harry exclaimed, running out of the room, probably to find a healer.
Hermione had a big smile on her face when two pairs of eyes—one grey and one amber—opened and looked into her brown eyes.
"I love you, too," Sirius and Remus answered simultaneously.
Her heart fluttered. They had heard her.
