Closing her eyes, she presses her forehead against the window, letting the glass cool her down. As he walks in the room, she opens her eyes to stare pensively out into the darkness.
He sighs as he sees her there; hesitant to ask why she always comes home after work and stares out the window for thirty minutes before she will talk.
Both of them carry their own scars from the War. Both of them deal with it in their own ways. It will be the death of their marriage, this refusal to talk about whom they are really missing.

A/N: Warning, character deaths ahead.
It will get better.
The doctors promised it as she lay in the hospital wing, each breath an act of agonizing torture.
It will get easier.
She cursed them silently as her body mended, cursed them for healing a shattered spine, cursed them for being right.
Partially.
When Hermione walked out of St. Mungo’s under her own power, the day should have been triumphant. Certainly, it was a miracle of Wizarding powers that she was able to walk.
That miracle did not extend to mending her shattered heart.
All the miracles in the world could'nt bring Harry and Ron back.

“We found her.”
Harry stared at Ron, feeling his heart leap at the news, “Where is she?” That question has been on his mind for over a week, eating him alive with worry. “Is she okay?”
Ron took a deep breath and let it out slowly, “She is alive.”
Sinking back into his chair, Harry swallowed compulsively, shivering slightly at Ron’s expressionless tone, “What do you mean?”
Ron touched Harry’s shoulder briefly, “She won’t ever fly again, the veterinarians are all agreed on that, but she will live, Harry. If you want her to.”
Slumping down, Harry whispered, “Oh, Hedwig!”

A/N: Eh, got nothing.
Is there something, I don’t know, something wrong with me? Did I miss the line for compassion when I was born? Or am I here, the way I am, for some unfathomable reason?
Why else would I enjoy the things I do if there wasn’t something wrong with me?
As I watch the pathetic Muggle ants scurry to and fro, wrapped up in their daily existances, only able to greet the unknown (and more powerful) with fear and fire, I understand.
They are not human. They fear what they do not understand.
And I…I despise them for their fears.
