please do NOT encourage harry’s behavior about this! he’s going to get into a fight with snape by the end of the year if he hears that people are actually supporting him on this. i don’t believe that snape is the best professor but his classes haven’t be terrible, just rather silent and curt. he asks a question, we answer if he allows us, and he continues. honestly, rather boring for a defense teacher if you ask me, especially compared to the old ones that we have had in the past!
we already smelled amortentia, slughorn brought it in for the first day of classes and I got to smell it….just to calm your nerves, i smelled freshly mown grass, new parchment, and gunpowder. It doesn’t have to smell like an exact person, you know. it smells like the things that most attract you. of course…i know that the gunpower is you.
going back to the book though, it is still cheating and I swear, if you have also taken advantage of books like that, I will scream and you will hear it all the way here from Scotland! Writing in the margins is different then that this book has! complete modification of potions, unknown spells, even some writing in latin that Harry hasn’t translated yet. almost as if some potions prodigy was behind the writing and left it behind for some reason.
It’s quite odd…I don’t trust it, especially with all these talks of vold…he-who-should, you know who I’m talking about!
i’ll let everyone know that my obnoxiously tall, reasonably handsome, subpar witty, and extraordinarily humble boyfriend gifted me his sweater. and i’ll also tell them to visit the shop, with the promise that if they say ‘hermione is better’ to your face, that you have to give me ten percent off their entire order. i think that is a marvelous idea, don’t you? :)
he is a tosser, he really is! he keeps making eyes at me and while i usually wouldn’t care, he knows quite well that I am taken for so this newfound interest in me is rather alarming. I have no idea why he is doing this now and believes that I would find it charming. and i have it under control, you know that. if I happen to need your help, i’m sorry love but i would probably tell fred first so that he could stop you from sending cormac any dastardly inventions through the post!
not…too indelicate. it’s rather odd, being cautious in speaking about the said snogging but anticipating it from you the moment the christmas hols start.
the bed is too big. well, not here. maybe here too actually. because i’m so used to you being with me that the bed just feels too wide or too cold. not even a warming charm helps. I fear that you might have turned me off of sleeping alone forever. quite a thought…how i could hate the idea of being alone in a bed forever. my parents worked together, saw each other everyday, yet still kissed every night before falling into bed with one another.
I wonder what type of couple we will be. your parents or mine?
well it’s only fair! don’t let them have the arm chair though! it is ours and i don’t want to share the memories with anyone else but you…
i miss you more today, i don’t know why today feels lonelier without you. like I see you at every corner of this school. cruel, how I only got to date you for a year in these halls. I spent more years in this school, not with you, than i did with. Peculiar, the passage of time, don’t you think?
stay safe, i love you. i believe in you and fred.
p.s send me one of your inventions one of these days, a prototype. i miss your inventions so much.
first , i apologise for how long it’s taken me to reply . i’m okay , i promise ! fred too , & cedric , & the shop . ‘ send an invention , ’ you said , so i got cracking on to what i could send you that would be worthwhile , & i think i’ve finally got it .
i wanted you to have a piece of me with you , wherever you are . & i don’t mean a lock of my hair or anything weird like that --- i mean , unless you wanted it ? ... but , i don’t think you’re the type who does . anyway , i nipped down to the jeweler’s & got this locket for you . if you find yourself missing me too much , just open it up & miniature weasleys’ wildfire whizbangs will pop out ! i’ve also put in that picture of you & me at hyde park last summer , too --- because i’m looking at you like you’re the one who’s put fireworks in my sky .
is that too sappy ? i’m sorry , i can’t help it , not when it comes to you . i hate the thought of you feeling so lonely without me . it took me ages to get the charm on it just right , so i hope you like it . & be sure to let mclaggen know where you got it !!
hermione , you seem to not realize that ... well , loads of people find you attractive . you’re smart & damn near the prettiest girl in your year ( but i’m biased , aren’t i ? ) , & it’s not just me noticing that . mclaggen wishes he were this obnoxiously tall , reasonably handsome , subpar witty , & extraordinarily humble . maybe then he’d have a chance , eh ?
anyway , business as usual ... somehow your amortentia doesn’t surprise me . you should’ve told me you like the smell of gunpowder , i would’ve doused myself in the stuff if i’d known earlier !! but in mine , i smell chocolate chip cookies , the kitchen at the burrow , clean linen , & the perfume you wore at the yule ball . i know you don’t wear it anymore , but clearly it made such an impression on me that i still smell it , even now .
forgive me milady , for the talk of snogging . i’ll be sure to just dream about how i’ll snog you senseless when i see you on the platform for christmas , instead of describing it in detail to you .
don’t worry about who we will be , or who we should be . we’ll figure that out , together . we’ve loads of time to just be george & hermione , hermione & george . i really , really like the sound of that . when i think of us , i think of kissing you after closing the shop . i think making your tea during the afternoon slump , i think of the rainy days when your hair would poof out at even the smallest drop of water . i think of how someday , when all this is over , we’ll have a place of our own & you won’t have to look in this locket of yours to see me . it’s true we didn’t have a lot of time before . but we’ll have all the time in the world after .
i love you always . watch out for ginny for me --- i’m hearing trifling things about how she’s making her way through all the gryffindor boys . speaking of the other gryffindor boys , imperio ron or something so he’ll finally tell harry he likes him , the sod .
