It's Your Love

“Hermione!” Harry ran to her fallen figure, one among many of their friends lost on the
battlefield. He checked her pulse and found it was weak. “Hermione, please, I can't lose you.”
*Not now, not after* *fourteen years* *of friendship, of talking late by the fire, of
always being by my side.*

She managed to open her eyes a tad and smiled, “You'll never lose me Harry. I'll always
be there to help you. I love you”, she whispered before falling back into unconsciousness. His
heart began to fill and tear at the same time and a realization suddenly dawned on him.

All those times they talked, about him and her and everything. All the times they fought by each
other's side. How it never seemed right when she and Ron were going out. How it felt right to
hold her, as if she was completing him, giving him something he never had. Memories flashed through
his mind of hand holding, the kiss in fourth year, and the way he felt when she was close to
him.

“Hermione, no! I… I love you too!” Harry picked up her body, held her close, and began to run to
the castle hoping that he wasn't too late.

*Dancin' in the dark
Middle of the night
Takin' your heart
And holdin' it tight
Emotional touch
Touchin' my skin
And askin' you to do
What you've been doing all over again*

“Hermione nooo!!!” Harry shot up from his bed as he screamed, his arms outstretched.

“Harry? What happened?” Hermione rose, a hand on his back. She was able to guess after one look
at his frightened expression and his shaking body. “It was the dream again wasn't it? Where
Voldemort tried to….”

Harry closed his eyes, “to kill you.” He turned and wrapped his arms around her, holding her
close. She placed his head on her chest surrounding him with all that she was and all the love she
held for him.

“I'm fine Harry, I'm right here, thanks to you. I will always be here.”

He lifted his head and looked into her eyes. Lifting one of her hands to his cheek he leaned
into it, closing his eyes. She caressed him with her thumb, letting him know she was there.

“I love your touch.” He said as he opened her eyes.

She smiled for a brief second before leaning in. She rubbed her face against his, her hand going
to the back of his head holding him in place. She placed a kiss on his forehead where his scar
remained. A kiss to each eye and then finally their lips met. The same familiar shock ran through
their bodies. It was new and exciting as well as comforting. Deepening the kiss the electricity ran
from their lips to their brains, down to their toes and back making them both feel alive.

Breaking apart Hermione smiled and whispered, “And I love your kisses, they make me feel
wanted.

“Oh you're wanted Hermione, and loved. So very loved.” Harry pushed her back onto the
pillows and began to show her just how loved she was.

*Oh it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in
I just gotta let you know
What it is that won't let me go*

*It's your love
It just does something to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder about the spell I'm under
Oh it's your love*

“I would like to introduce for the first time, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Potter.” Professor Dumbledore
happily announced to the assembly.

Cheers and applause were sounded from the gathering of friends as Harry kissed Hermione while
entering the reception hall.

They took their places to take their first dance together and the music began to play.

They swayed softly to the rhythm, never leaving each others embrace. More people began to join
in on the dance floor but Harry and Hermione did not notice them.

Harry sang to her softly, “It's your love, it just does something to me, it sends a shock
right through me…” Hermione laughed, her smile never wavering.

“You're impossible Harry” He smiled and merely continued to sing in an off key manner.
Finally the song ended and they separated slightly. Never leaving each other's side for long
they greeted old friends and family, all who expressed their overwhelming joy at the occasion at
hand.

After partying all night long with their guests the newlyweds finally went back to Harry's
apartment. Tired and excited at the same time the opened one more bottle of champagne. They
didn't speak much, just enjoyed the feeling of being alone with each other, staring into the
fire.

Harry looked at Hermione, *God she's beautiful*. He tilted her face towards his and
kissed her. A light, loving kiss that captured them both. She wrapped her arms around his neck
pulling him back wanting more than just a taste. He picked her up without breaking the kiss and
carried her to the bedroom. Putting her down onto the bed he broke the kiss to look into her eyes
one last time, eyes that captured him so.

“I love you Harry Potter, with all my heart.” She whispered through her well kissed lips.

“I love you Hermione Potter, with all that I am.” And began to kiss her once again, letting her
know exactly how much of him loved her.

*Better than I was
More than I am
And all of this happened
By takin' your hand
And who I am now
Is who I wanted to be
And now that we're together
I'm stronger than ever I'm happy and free*

Walking through the hallway that led to his old room didn't feel as empty as it once did. It
could have been that he had outgrown the overbearing feeling they held of his uncle. Or that his
wife was standing next to him as he opened the door to his past, fighting away the loneliness that
had once been his only companion.

“We don't have to do this Harry, we could just leave.” Hermione said to him softly, knowing
how he must feel. Even though it was his idea to face his old demons so he could really go on with
his life, that didn't make visiting the Dursley's house any less foreboding to either of
them.

“I know but I want to, I have to.” He took a deep breath and opened the door to his old room. He
walked into the bare room, only a bed, desk, and dresser remained from his childhood. He heard a
sob and turned to look at Hermione. A tear was tracing its way down her cheek. “Please, please tell
me this isn't where you grew up. Where you lived all those years”

** He tried to smile but couldn't, instead he gave her a warm hug which she
welcomed. “Harry I knew about the Durselys but this…..this is how you lived for eleven years?”

He didn't look her in the eye, “Actually…..do you remember seeing a cupboard under the
stairs on our way up?”

She looked at him confused, “Yes, but why……” She stopped and suddenly looked fearful. “No, they
didn't, they couldn't.” He gave a slight nod and it was more than she could take, she threw
herself on him. Holding him close she poured all the love she had for him into that hug.

“Shhh, it's ok, really.” He pulled her back a little so he knew she was listening. “Hermione
I was a different person during those years. I was left without love, affection, and any real
friends. Fourteen years ago this room, this house terrified me in some way, I was alienated for who
I was. Then I came to Hogwarts and met you and Ron. My best friend and the love of my life.” She
gave a little chuckle at this and that gave him the strength to go on. “I'm better than I was,
and happier than I ever thought I could be, all because of you.”

She kissed him, letting him know how much that meant to her. Deepening the kiss they stayed like
that for a few moments until she pulled back.

“Let's go back to your flat or Hogsmeade, anywhere you want.” He smiled and led her out of
the house that had tormented him for all those years, taking with him the most precious thing he
ever had.

*
Oh it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in
And if you asked me why I changed
All I gotta do is say your sweet name*

*It's your love
It just does something to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder about the spell I'm under
Oh it's your love*

*Oh, Baby*

*Oh…*

“Happy anniversary, love” Harry said leaning down for another kiss. After a day of going through
London's most prestigious book and quidditch stores they had finally returned to their
flat.

“Happy anniversary Harry” Hermione said tenderly kissing him. He pulled her closer and closer
still, trying to touch every piece of skin that was in reach. She began to giggle and pushed
lightly against his chest.

“Harry you're insatiable!”

He smiled, “Only when it comes to you.” She nuzzled his neck then pulled away.

Dragging him towards their living room she said, “Come on, let's put these purchases
away.”

He swung her around and came close enough so their noses bumped. “Can't we do that later,
I'm not thinking of the bags right now.” He said with a bit of a growl.

“No I suppose not.” She walked around him covering his eyes, “I suppose they could wait `till
later” she whispered in his ear. Taking her hands away she ran into the bedroom with Harry right
behind her.

She stopped and gasped at the scene before her. Dozens of floating candles hung in the air
around the bed. Everything was cleaned and seemed to have a certain sparkle to it. There were vases
of roses of all colors strategically placed around the room as well, along with her favorite
flower; lilies. The bed itself was made with millions of red rose petals sprinkled all over. She
couldn't have imagined a more romantic scene in any of her dreams. She tore her eyes away from
the stunning view to look into Harry's.

“You did this, all of this? She asked slightly breathless with wonder. He smiled and lifted his
hand to caress her cheek. He lightly kissed her lips, a chaste kiss that told of all the passion he
held for her.

“I love you so much Hermione, I think since the first day we met. I never knew how to show it
then and I still think I can't fully express how much you mean to me. It fills me so completely
that I can't hold it in. I want to shout it from wherever I am how much you mean to me and that
your mine. For everything you are I love you even more, not just your beauty. You compassion and
your love for everything you do and especially for me. Hermione I never thought I would know love,
real love but you gave me the one feeling that makes me soar higher than I ever could on a broom. I
love you Hermione Potter, more than you could ever know and I promise you that will never
change.”

By now Hermione had silent tears running down her cheeks. She hugged him close and whispered
into his ear over and over again “I love you”. He held her and they stayed like for a while just
reveling in each other's love for one another. Harry kissed her tears away, and then began
kissing her neck. She gave a little moan urging him to continue and he kissed his way down to her
stomach, gently pushing toward the bed. She brought his head up to meet her eyes then brought his
ear to her mouth.

“I love you Harry… so much” she whispered into his ear giving it a small kiss.

He lifted his head to meet her eyes and cupped her chin, “I love you Hermione, with all that I
am.” With that the two of them shared another kiss, one of the many they would share that night and
for the rest of their lives.

*Oh it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in
I just gotta let you know
What it is that won't let me go

It's your love
It just does something to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder about the spell I'm under
Oh it's your love* It's Your Love,
It's Your Love.
