Our Everafter: Saudade (A Harry Potter Fanfiction) [Harry and Hermione Ending]

Chapter 13

The storm never faltered instead it grew stronger. Harry looks out the windows as he stare at the waves roaring wildly against the hard rain, Everything is so dim and dark, It's almost 10 o'clock at night time, Hermione is inside the bedroom, Resting. She was very quiet after what happened earlier, And Harry has this weird feeling around him.

The scene came to his mind again, And her soft lips. Harry licked his lips as he remember his on Hermione's, It wasn't really a kiss because he was giving her air, But the feeling of her lips on his felt so good, He felt a weird feeling that he hasn't encounter before.

As of now he has neutral emotion about what he is feeling for Hermione, and up until now he's still not sure what this feeling is called.

Harry gave a small sigh before walking upstairs, He decided to check on Hermione before proceeding into the other bedroom to sleep, He slowly opened the door where Hermione was in, Darkness filled his eyes and he opened the dim lights to not wake her up.

Hermione was sleeping peacefully unto the big bed her whole body was covered with mattress and she was laying very straight as if she was in a uncomfortable position.

Harry's eyes furrowed as he walks over to Hermione, She was very pale, That threatened Harry, He remembered the rain pouring into them earlier.

"Hermione" Harry slowly called her and Hermione stirred immediately indicating she was just half asleep and was just closing her eyes.

Hermione stared at Harry with a gentle eyes and it showed her unwellness, Harry took out his hand and reached for Hermione's forehead, Harry almost hissed as he felt her burning skin. She is definitely sick.

"Hermione youre burning" Harry mumbled as Hermione's lips shakes indicating she's very cold even though she was already wrapped around by several blankets.

Harry felt very worried as he took Hermione's hand which is cold as ice, Her skin pained his skin but he didn't mind, He caress her palms to help her fall asleep. But minutes past it was a fail, Hermione keeps on moaning and groaning indicating her sufferings. It was a pain for Harry to hear her whimper as if she was hurt.

"Harry in m-my bag you'll find a green bo-bottle bring it t-to me" Hermione almost whispered

Harry nodded "Ill go get it real quick hold on" he responded and rushed out downstairs where her bag is located, He opened it and dug up the objects in the inside and finally he found the unknown bottle.

He brought it to Hermione who is already sitting up the bed, She is slouching like she couldn't help herself stand up. Harry handed her the bottle and she opened it with shaking hands then drank it. Harry watched as she closed her eyes tightly as she drinks, Hermione can feel the harsh liquid down into her throat. The aftertaste almost wanted to make her puke.

Harry took the bottle on her hands and placed it near the dresser, When he turned Hermione was already laying down again and reaching for the blanket, Harry helped and wrapped it all around her.

Hermione blinked many times as she stare at Harry, Her eyes were weak and that almost broke Harry's heart. He couldn't stand seeing Hermione suffering, The woman who is stronger than anyone he knows. The woman who will push down anyone who gets in her way.

"Hermione you sleep, The rain is still pouring hard i think we will stay for tonight you need your rest" Harry says and Hermione just nodded.

"Sorry" Hermione apologizes and Harry instantly shook his head "It's not your fault" Harry gently says and caress her cold hands one last time before turning away to walk.

"Harry" Hermione suddenly called him and Harry instantly stopped, Silence filled the whole room as he stared at Hermione who looks up to him with an emotion he can't name, That instantly gave some effects on his body.

"Harry please stay" Hermione says in a raspy voice and Harry's heart soften as he saw Hermione eyes yearning for him.

Slowly Harry climbed up the bed beside Hermione, Harry opened his arms and Hermione instantly layed on his chest, Hermione snuggled herself into Harry's warm body and suddenly she felt as if the heat hugged her whole body, His manly mint smell filled her nostrils again as she clutched on his shirt not wanting to let him go.

Harry wrapped his arms around Hermione as she closes her eyes, Harry couldn't help but stare at her angelic face, In his almost 8 years in Hogwarts with Hermione he never looked at her but a sister that will be with him in any way,  But he never denied that his heart leaps everytime he sees her. 

Her bossy and sometimes bossy attitude always had left him astonished yet her also feminine moves always left him admiring that he thought no woman could have the perfect attitude. A woman who can fight even she is alone , A woman who is very caring to her friends.

But looking at Hermione now as both of the lies into the bed cuddling, He is sure that he ain't denying that the feelings he has for her, And the way he looks at her, Absolutely changed.
