I ignored it, because there\u2019s always something wrong. Then she saw me flirting and started avoiding me and looking at me like she wants to kill me. I concluded her dear Voldemort is back and she can no longer afford to have me as a friend, or even a frienemy. I missed our talks and I was angry at her for breaking us up. On the other hand, whenever I tried something with other girls, something was off, and something was missing. Everything was missing, actually, and I didn\u2019t understand what. I thought Voldemort broke my brain by trying to break into it constantly, and I freaked out. Then I started hunting Lyra when I figured out she\u2019s trying to kill Dumbledore, until I cornered her in the girls\u2019 bathroom and hit her with that terrible thing, and when I held her bleeding body, I felt that thing that was missing coming back to me, and everything in my memory that resembled it lit up at the same time, and it was all her. It was like half of my brain coming back from deep coma. I stopped being angry and depressed all the time, and I understood that it was all because I missed her, and it\u2019s not what I thought it was. I never had a name for what we are to each other. It\u2019s not like anything I felt with other girls. It doesn\u2019t feel romantic. She feels like a body part, honestly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cShe\u2019s your wife\u201d, Hermione nodded.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cWhat?\u201d, Harry fumbled in shock.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cYou heard me. She\u2019s not a girlfriend. It\u2019s not a school romance. She\u2019s not a friend. I\u2019ve seen you together. I never saw anyone who isn\u2019t married for at least ten years be like that. She seems to know, but you\u201d, she sighed, \u201cYou should be hammering nails into hard wood with your head, because your head is harder than any rock\u201d.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cDamn\u201d, whispered Harry. \u201cHow did I managed to mess this up?\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cYou were emotionally very invested into being oblivious\u201d.

It\u2019s one of the genetic markers of a magical lineage. It was preserved because of our pure blood. You object to my arguments regarding pure blood. Do you like my eye colour?\u201d, she asked, playing with his hand.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cI love your eye colour. It\u2019s beautiful\u201d, he answered honestly.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">She slightly blushed. \u201cI\u2019m glad to hear it. However, since you argue for intermixing with the muggles, does that mean you would like my eye colour to vanish forever? Never to be seen in future generations?\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cThat\u2019s a hard question. I have to answer \u2018no\u2019, but that\u2019s mostly because I\u2019m very partial. I find you beautiful and I would not want any part of you gone. However, that\u2019s hardly a political argument, and it\u2019s also not fair\u201d, he smiled. \u201cBut let me use another equally unfair argument. I have green eyes, and I inherited them from my mother. You object to intermixing with muggle-borns.
