Okay so maybe it wasn't her dream response to what she'd just said, but well... at least Harry wasn't running away, right? And she hadn't exactly expected him to say he loved her back. They weren't even together, had barely seen each other in years, like she'd said. So finally, squeezing his hand, she replied, "I know. That's all I wanted. For you to- to know how I feel and to know that maybe there could be something..." She sighed softly. "Someday. I hope. I mean, if you want."
She wanted to kiss him, but her awkwardness now made her hesitate. She leaned in slightly, holding his gaze as she said softly, "I just want you to fight. And make it through this okay, so that we..." She gave a faint smile. "So maybe we don't have to schedule secret meetings under invisibility cloaks just to see each other, you know?"
