Worried About You
For when you don't know how it's going to end. Trigger warnings for hinted/implied suicidality/loss of life/self injury
"Are you going to come back?"
"Make me a promise. That's all I ask."
"I know that you're scared, and that's fine, but... there's more than one way out."
"I need you to stay. Even if that's selfish."
"I've never been so scared in my life, and it's because of you."
"I don't know what I'd do without you."
"Can you let me see? I... please?"
"This isn't right. That you feel like this."
"I want to make this better and I don't know how."
"That hollow feeling inside you isn't meant to be there."
"I'm not saying therapy would fix this but it wouldn't hurt."
"Don't make me say goodbye. I'm not ready."
"There are better choices. Bigger choices."
"Your mind is lying to you. I wish you could believe me."
"It's not that I want to leave, I'm just... tired."
"You don't understand what it's like in my head."
"Everything is just... so fuckin' much. All the time."
"Everyone's worrying about nothing."
"I just don't know why I'm not trusted to make my own decisions."
"I hope to God you never feel the way I feel."
"I know how this all ends."
"It was always going to end this way, that's okay."
"I want to be at peace."
"Everyone acts like it's so fucking easy, but it's not."
"Would you just, uh... sit with me? For a bit?"
"I'm not saying goodbye, okay?"
"You look at me like I'm a dead man walking."
"My heart is racing and I don't know how to calm it."
"Is this it? Is this all there is?"
"I want you to know, what it feels like. But that feels cruel. Because I don't want anyone else to ever, ever feel like this. Yet I want you to know. Does that make me an asshole?"
{I'm going through drafts and getting rid of stuff I'm not feeling ^^ But feel free to send in/start new things with me!}
@potionsandhexes asks | “Why does it bother you when I flirt with other people?”
Hermione looked over at him, the glass of wine in her hands swishing slightly as she turned. "It does not bother me at all." She replied bluntly. "I'm not sure what you mean." She said as she avoided the question as best as she could. "Do the people you flirting with like it when you do?" She asked him.
@thechosengryffindor asks | send me ‘ 💖+ ‘ for my muse to ask yours out
What a wonderful day they had. They had such a packed day. First up was the day to London Zoo and then a cute dinner date at one of those small local restaurants that only locals know about with little to no tourists. Finally it was a walk alongside the River Thames. It was very rare that Hermione got to play tourist but also go on a muggle day out with Harry. Yes they have planned things before and visited things once in a while, but never a full day nor this packed. Just meetings in Diagon Alley or Hogsmeade.
She walked alongside him, the sound of cars passing by and the water were somewhat comforting. She stopped walking when he asked her the question. "Pardon?" She asked him to repeat it. For a moment she was still but then she smiled wide and hugged him tightly. "Oh, Harry!" She exclaimed. "Yes! Of course!"
The idea, or rather the question, had been on Harry’s mind all day- he had never had an entire day free to just spend with Hermione, and while he had thought maybe he wouldn’t have enjoyed the Zoo considering his one and only experience with a zoo… It had turned out to be kind of wonderful. Maybe it was because it was with Hermione, or maybe it was because for once he wasn’t the boy who saved the wizarding world.
He was just Harry.
When she said yes Harry couldn’t help but smile brightly, they had never really talked about what today had been, but he had been thinking about if they’d had a proper date for ages. “Dinner, tomorrow night- what do you think?” he asked her curiously, his full attention on her. “I just… wanna do this right.”
Hermione had very much enjoyed spending the whole day with him. Some of the places and things they did felt like it had been a long time since she had done them, as she had only done those things with her parents. Now that she was older and working, she couldn't make time to fo such things again. But being just Hermione with Harry was such a relief and made her happy.
Harry made her happy anyway but doing things with him was so much better. She still had her arms wrapped around him still as she looked up at him. She continued to smile. "It's a date. You house or mine? Or do you want to go out for dinner?" She asked him. "I'm sure whatever you have planned will go amazingly."
@runyou-clever-boy asks | fifth year - grudgingly potions partners - "do you even clean your cauldron?"
Hermione was carefully and slowly stirring her cauldron full of the potion that they were asked by Professor Snape to make. She was not the best pleased that she was partnered with him for this lesson. She'd rather it be Neville or even a Slytherin, anyone but Zacharias Smith. She continued to stir as per the instructions and when she moved on to the next step which was to let it bubble. She took the ladle out and looked at him with a slight frown. "Yes I do. After every lesson." She replied to him.
"Do you want to help or are you letting me do all of the work?" She asked as she looked over at the next few instructions. "We're nearly ready to add more ingredients."
Hermione was very begrudgingly working with him on this drought of peace. Perhaps she'd end up taking some just to give her peace of mind at the end of this, just to cope. His nattering was bothering her and sometimes his comments almost warranted her to want to hex him. She sighed softly before she spoke. "Will you calm down, I'm not going to mess it up." She said.
The potion was perfect and she wasn't going to ruin it for her now, her grades depended on it. She took exactly the right amount in pinches and added them to the potion. She watched on to see how the potion reacted after adding it.
@thebrxghtestwxtch sent ‘ 💌 ‘ for my muse to write yours a love letter
Harry had thought this over and over, and honestly he wasn’t sure this was the right move- but valentines day was coming up and honestly he didn’t know if he could take it anymore, she deserved to know.
Maybe he shouldn’t have been so cowardly as to rely on a letter, but he’d never been good at speaking up about how he felt… What if she already had a date? There were a million things that could go wrong with this plan, but he had already apparated to her flat.
What he hadn’t been expecting was for Hermione to be there, or to spot him with the letter in his hand. “Oh er…” Harry exhaled, it was now or never. “I- didn’t expect you to be home I, wrote a letter I was going to leave you.”
Hermione was very much aware that valentines day was coming up. She had nothing planned really, only to stay in and relax at home with Crookshanks. What she wasn't expecting is noticing Harry through the window as he approached her flat. She opened the door just before he got there and looked at him with a smile on her face.
She opened the door wider to him and then listened to him as he spoke about him writing a letter for her. "Oh? Thank you Harry." She said. "Do you want to come in? I can make some tea and I can read it inside?" She suggested. "But you do know you can just tell me whatever is on your mind. No need for a letter."
♧ - slap my muse’s hand away from something they shouldn’t touch
Draco had noticed her come into his store. He watched her as she browsed his ingredients and his potions. He had a couple of plants up front he had meant to put away before any customers came in, but he figured she would know enough to stay away from Snargaluff; it looked enough like Devil's Snare that most people avoided it. He watched her carefully, however, and when she edged closer to it, looking at it curiously, he felt a sense of exasperation run over him. 'Don't do it, Granger,' he thought to himself, urging her to walk away.
When she didn't, and reached over to the plant, he acted before he thought about it, slapping her hand.
"Don't touch that, Granger!" He snapped, silver eyes sharp. "Don't you know how dangerous snargaluff is?!"
Hermione had only come in because she heard about how good the potions were and she was looking for something to help with her low mood so she walked in. She looked around and noticed the interesting plant. In her mind she was trying to go through what plant it could be via the books she read. She wasn't paying too much attention to much else as she continued to think and reached out to get a better look, but just as quickly she reached out her hand was slapped away.
She looked up at him and frowned. "Well why on earth would you have a dangerous plant out in the first place, Malfoy?!" She retaliated.
SLOW–BURN SPARKS & QUIET HEARTFIRE
roleplay starters inspired by slow burn love — lingering glances, almost-touches, and feelings that simmer for months before finally spilling over
LONGING IN THE LITTLE MOMENTS
soft looks, subtle shifts, that ache of wanting more but not daring to reach
“Why do you always look away right when I catch your eyes?”
“You keep brushing my hand. Accidentally… right?”
“You don’t have to leave yet. Stay—just a few more minutes.”
“Why does being around you feel… different?”
“I notice the way you soften around me. Even when you try not to.”
ACCIDENTAL INTIMACY
hands brushing, falling asleep near each other, warmth passed back and forth
“You’re freezing—come here. It’s just body heat… nothing else.”
“You can lean on me if you’re tired. I wouldn't mind.”
“Hold still, you’ve got something in your hair—just let me…”
“Didn’t mean to fall asleep on you, but… I didn’t want to move.”
“I like it when you stand close. Even if you pretend you don’t notice.”
DENIAL THAT’S OBVIOUS TO EVERYONE ELSE
everyone sees it except the two falling in love
“Why does everyone keep asking if we’re together? We’re not… right?”
“No, I wasn’t staring. I was… observing. For reasons.”
“We’re just friends. Totally normal friends who… talk every night?”
“Why does it bother you when I flirt with other people?”
“We’re close. But not that close. Unless… you want to be?”
RISING TENSION, UNKEPT DISTANCE
the space between you shrinking, breath catching, lips almost touching
“You keep stepping closer. Are you doing that on purpose?”
“Tell me to back up. If you don’t, I won’t.”
“You can’t look at me like that and expect me to think straight.”
“If you touch me again, I’m not sure I’ll be able to stop myself.”
“We’re either about to kiss or make the world’s worst decision.”
LATE NIGHTS THAT LEAD TO CONFESSIONS
quiet rooms, tired voices, guards slipping
“I shouldn’t say this, but… I feel safer with you than anyone else.”
“You’re the first person I think about in the morning. And the last at night.”
“I don’t know when it happened, but you’ve become… important.”
“Why do I only tell you the things I’m scared to say out loud?”
“Stay up with me. I don’t want this feeling to fade yet.”
FEAR OF RUINING EVERYTHING
the hesitation, the trembling, the hope
“If I told you the truth… would it ruin us?”
“I’m scared of losing what we already have.”
“I care about you too much to risk it unless you feel the same.”
“Don’t lie—there’s something between us. You feel it too.”
“Tell me you don’t want me, and I’ll pretend none of this happened.”
FINALLY CROSSING THE LINE
the moment where holding back isn’t possible anymore
“Come here. I can’t pretend I don’t want you anymore.”
“I’ve been waiting for you to make the first move.”
“If we’re doing this… don’t pull away.”
“I’ve wanted to kiss you for months.”
“Tell me this isn’t just one moment. Tell me we’re choosing each other.”

She continued to stir as per the instructions and when she moved on to the next step which was to let it bubble. She took the ladle out and looked at him with a slight frown. "Yes I do.

"Do you want to help or are you letting me do all of the work?" She asked as she looked over at the next few instructions. "We're nearly ready to add more ingredients."
Hermione thought about it for a little before replying with a nod. "Okay, that might make things quicker. Then we can come back here." She said softly to him. She waited for him to be ready before she linked her arm with his. "Are you ready?" She asked.
@thechosengryffindor
Harry nodded, "Good." Their arms linked and he nodded, maybe he should have let her just go home for the night but he worried; it had become a natural thing for him after the war. "Ready when you are. "
Hermione smiled as she felt the spin on tbe spot and apparated them to her home. Once safely there and situated on the ground she unlinked his arm from hers to unlock the door to her house. "Crookshanks?" She called. She walked further into the house. She then heard meowing from the back door. "I think he's at the back door." She said to Harry. "Would you mind letting him in so that I can get him his dinner please?"
Hermione looked at the other after looking around thinking about how she'd reply to that. "I don't know what you mean? It's always a glare." She replied as she moved loose strands of hair behind her ear.
she sent her a soft smile at her words and nodded her head. ❝ okay, i believe you. ❞ she exclaimed simply. ❝ you're right, it's always a glare. ❞ she added. though, it wasn't because she saw it. it wasn't a glare at all, though she wasn't going to fight about it. or tease. not yet, at least.
Hermione felt happy with the response and went back to eating and also finishing her essay. After a while she did look up once again but only briefly before getting back to writing.
Hermione kept the smile on her face as she began to walk beside him. She was glad that he wanted to spend time with her, especially after everything that had happened to them both. "I'll be fine Harry. I promise." She replied softly. "I honestly don't mind the snow or being in it." She continued. She then looked around them and at the snow touched surroundings. She admired the way it all looked and how the snow glistened in the light. "It's really beautiful." She said.
@thechosengryffindor
Taking in nature and the sight of it wasn't exactly something that came natural to him- but when she pointed out that the snow made everything beautiful he forced himself to push aside his worried and glanced around, taking in the sights for what felt like the first time and feeling his breath catch in his throat. "Yeah it is." he confessed, "Wow I- I guess I've not really let myself think about it like that y'know? I mean in school it was annoying because everythings bloody freezing, and in the tent we were miserable so... y'know."
Hermione still admired their surroundings as she listened to him. The soft crunch of their footsteps in the snow making the scene feel even for exciting and magical. She smiled softly and nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I can see that." She replied before continuing in a soft tone of voice. "I've taught myself to see the beauty rather than some of the awkward memories tied to this weather." She said
She slowly breathed in the cool air and she felt refreshed. "I think I'm starting to like winter."
@oftriwizards asks | “ I never asked you to save me - I asked you to stay. ” (from neville @oftriwizards)
Hermione stared at Neville, unsure on what to say to him. She had been so concerned with Harry and Ron that she completely forgot about most of the people around her. Harry and Ron are her best friends at one point they had priority over her life, especially when they were on the hunt for horcruxes. She sighed softly as she sat beside him. "I'm sorry Neville. I don't have any excuse for that." She said softly.
@oftriwizards asks | [ PICK ] sender telling receiver to "hold still" while they remove something from their hair (from ginny @oftriwizards)
Hermione looked like she ran through abush backwards. Her bushy hair that she so carefully cared for had gotten blown around from the wind and was a mess on her head. She was attempting to fix it and then her friend walked up and started helping. Though with both of them doing it, it caused her to move her head back and forth.
When Ginny asked her to stay still she did as she let her friend remove the leaves from her hair. "Thanks Ginny." She said.
"Manchester United?" Hermione repeated with a smile. She hadn't watched much football but ir was nice getting to know him and his interests. "I haven't watched much football but I've heard good things about that team." She replied. She then blushed slightly as he said he admired her. "Thank you Harry." She then nodded. "Of course! I'll be more than happy to teach you French."
@thechosengryffindor
"Yes! that's the one. They're kinda brilliant." Harry shrugged, "I would love to take you to a game sometime if you want. I understand it's not everyone's thing but..." He shrugged again, the offer was there- open. He didn't want to make her feel like she had too. "Brilliant. I bet you're a bloody good teacher, is that something that interests you?"
Hermione thought for a second or two, just for the fact that she hadn't ever thought about going to a football game before. The game intrigued her nor did she have any idea what the rules were but she nodded. "I would like that very much. But you'll have to explain the rules to me, I don't know much about football." She could probably read up on it but to have some sort of connection with him she'd thought it might be best to have him explain things.
"I've looked into becoming a teacher, but I was thinking more on the lines of being a university professor." She replied.
