There's No Point Pretending (H.G. X Reader)

Change Your Fate (Final)

Sorry for the wait. This quarantine has really been messing with my head, I just haven't had motivation to write. Everything sucks right now and I'm not in the best mental state, I honestly don't know when I'll write another oneshot, I won't force myself to write. If I get an idea or am given an idea (and I'm in the right mental state to do so), I'll write it out as best I can. Thank you for your patience, and thank you guys so much for 27k reads. You guys mean the world to me.

Now, onto the final installment of Change Your Fate...

I looked at her with tears in my eyes. Tears of joy.

She wants me back.

I nodded, I didn't trust my voice at the moment anyway, as I reached for her String, pulling it to find the knot. After a moment, it appeared in my hand, and I found myself hesitating.

I looked at her again, right in her eyes, those beautiful brown eyes, warm and accepting.

"Are you sure?" I had to ask, for her sake, and for mine. Because what if she decides that she doesn't really want to be with me? What if she decides to cut our String? I couldn't do it a second time. I couldn't live with myself.

She gently placed her hand atop mine, looking right back into my own eyes.

"I've never been more sure in my life."

I smiled at her response, and carefully undid the knot connecting her to Ron.

As soon as Ron's half fell away, it dulled and retracted, making its way back to him. Still holding Hermione's half, I reached around to grab my String.

I started to bring them together to tie them, but I noticed that the closer they got, the more vibrant they became, most colorful at the severed ends, and fading into the dull grey as it got closer to the heart. They seemed to reach for each other, stretching more and more the closer they came.

As soon as they were close enough to touch, they came together, joint back to each other almost as if nothing had happened. I couldn't even tell where I had cut the String, it had fused so perfectly. The whole String was glowing a vibrant red and suddenly I felt purposeful again. The emptiness filled with my love for her.

One look at her face told me she had felt it too. We couldn't help it, our faces broke into huge smiles, which turned to quiet laughter as I pulled her into a hug. She held on to me tightly, and I felt it, deep in my bones.

This is right. This is where I'm supposed to be.

And I would never lose her again.

I know it's short but it's the best I can do right now, thank you guys so much for your support and patience.

Stay safe, stay healthy. Love you guys.

See ya around
