Harry Potter - Ron/Hermione - Dreams (10_Letters 3/10)
Title:Dream
Rating:G
Fandom:Harry Potter
Character:Ron Weasley/Hermione Granger
Author's Notes:One big DH spoiler behind the fake-cut.
Summary:Set weeks before beginning her life as a first year at Hogwarts, Hermione's mother has an interesting task for her.
Sneak Peek:My whole life is ahead of me, and I have no idea what’s going to happen. It’s all one big surprise-but I don’t want it to be. I wish I could flip to the end of the book and see what happens. See if my dreams come true. See who you really are.
Author's Notes #2: To avoid any confusion, Hermione is essentially writing to Ron (the man she marries according to the DH epilogue of ship doom happiness). Her mother has made her write a letter to her future husband, only she doesn't yet know who he will be (um, she's only, like, 12). So eventually I'm sure she'll give this letter to Ron when she marries him. Get it?
***
To the man I’m going to marry, whoever he may be,
I don’t know why mum’s making me do this. I think it’s quite silly, actually. I have no idea who you are, and I won’t know you for many years to come. Still, she’s making me write this, so I must compel. She’s been bossing me around a lot lately-Dad says she’s the one I get my bossy habits from. I don’t blame her for acting strange lately-she’s losing me, her little, almost twelve year old girl, to a crazy school she’s never heard of.
You see, I’m heading off to a boarding school in a few weeks. A very-different kind of boarding school, for very…special people. You don’t understand-I’m not special. Of course a few odd things have happened-a few plates breaking in midair, my hair changing color when I was nine years old…but I’m not that special. Of course I’m excited to go, but I just don’t know what to expect. Which is why I’m fully prepared. I’ve already read halfway through my schoolbooks, my trunk is packed perfectly, so nothing can go wrong…
Nevermind. I’m rambling, and I realize it. You’ll have no idea what I’m talking about when you open this years down the road on our wedding day (well, that’s what mum says is when you’re supposed to open it up). Maybe you’ll know…maybe you’ll be special like me.
That’s the problem with being only twelve years old. My whole life is ahead of me, and I have no idea what’s going to happen. It’s all one big surprise-but I don’t want it to be. I wish I could flip to the end of the book and see what happens. See if my dreams come true. See who you really are.
Who are you? Where are you right this moment? Are you getting ready for school to start too? I’m sure you’re handsome, intelligent, courageous, kind, sympathetic, romantic, sweet. Why else would I even dream of marrying you otherwise?
How will we meet? In all romances the couple always meets in an interesting scenario. Will you save me from my immediate death? Will you pull me from the clutches of evil? Any way that we meet, I’m sure it will be a long time away. We’ll fall in love a first sight-I can’t imagine anything else.
…and yet, maybe it doesn’t matter how we meet, who you are, where you’re from. Someday we’ll be together and…I guess that’s that, isn’t it? But that’s ages away. For now, for years to come, all I can do is dream.
I can’t wait to meet you someday.
Yours truly,
Hermione Granger
