Harry Potter

And On the Third Day by

It's ridiculous and weird, Ron thinks, that yesterday they defeated Lord Voldemort, and yesterday they figured it out, figured out it was never either for any one of them, it was always both, and now Hermione's reading a book and Harry's sleeping and he, Ron, can just go over and sit with them. And be part of an us. It probably counted as madness, but it was the best kind. Harry, Ron, and Hermione take a couple days off to deal with what happened in the final battle and also to figure out how to move forward with their relationship. It makes my heart so happy to imagine this future for them, together. ♥

"I taught him to fly you know, Tom Riddle."

Minerva knows, but Xiomara's not telling her the story so she'll listen to the words. She's speaking because talking is what makes them human. They have to talk, keep talking, find stories that remind them they are more than silent, suffering warriors facing another long night. Quiet, lovely McGonagall/Hooch in the aftermath of the Battle of Hogwarts.
