\u201cDid you survive?\u201d, Ron looked up towards Harry as he entered the common room.<\/p>\n
Harry looked at him in silence for a few breaths. \u201cRon, that was the most frightening experience I ever had, and I met Voldemort in person\u201d, he whispered.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid she curse you?\u201d, Ron rose in alarm.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish\u201d, Harry smiled, as Hermione joined them. \u201cBeing cursed, hated, beaten and bullied is something I can deal with. This was like talking to Dumbledore, only if in the end I wiped Dumbledore\u2019s tears away and hugged him to make him calm himself. It\u2019s nothing like I ever experienced in my life. I can\u2019t share what we talked about, because it\u2019s private, but man\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou mean, the enemy has a point?\u201d, Hermione smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think the enemy is the right word any more. She feels like a library of books I\u2019ve never read, with ideas I never thought of, arguments the power of which I never imagined, and all the ideas are expressed and finished by a mind I cannot hope to match. Even if she\u2019s wrong somewhere, she\u2019s better and smarter than me, and she\u2019s also a better person than me. I feel completely, positively dwarfed. It\u2019s not that she has a point. She has such a mind-bogglingly good and devastating point that I can\u2019t even figure out how to approach arguing with it\u201d, Harry sighed. \u201cI think she could beat Dumbledore in an argument. I\u2019m like nothing next to her.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGood\u201d, Hermione nodded. \u201cI\u2019ll make you a list of books to read. This will force you to stop slacking\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, the mail is arriving\u201d, Ron perked up.<\/p>\n
A package for Harry arrived. \u201cWhere did that come from?\u201d, he wondered. \u201cThere\u2019s a note, it says: \u2018For next time; LM\u2019. Emporio Armani? What the heck?\u201d<\/p>\n
Hermione giggled. \u201cLet me see. Yeah, she got you proper clothes, and they seem to be exactly the right size. She\u2019s good\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cBlimey\u201d, Ron looked miffed. \u201cWhy can\u2019t I have a scary girlfriend who buys me clothes?\u201d<\/p>\n
Hermione slapped him on the head and smiled. \u201cStep up your game, Weasley, and things might happen\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
