What’s there to Celebrate, Hermione? || witchgranger

“I can’t Hermione. You know I hate calling attention to myself.”

He shook his head. “I appreciate the thought and I know what you’re trying to do, but it’s too soon.”

Harry looked ages older than his actual age and to celebrate the passing of the last year just brought into focus all of the things he’d lost in the last year.

“I’d rather just a quiet sort of thing. Maybe let it pass by without mention.”

            “Harry–”
                    she mumbled, brows knitting together in a frustrated way. Of course, she could understand. How could she expect him to want to celebrate his birthday with all that they had lost? It wouldn’t be much of a celebration without your loved ones – and they had lost a lot.

                                 “I just.. thought that it might be good
                                  to remember what we have and not
                                  what we’ve lost. That’s all.”
