I love how you call Hermione the heroine. That is exactly what she is. She is no damsal in distress, for every time Harry has helped or rescued Hermione she has in turn done the same for him. She is a partner and an equal. She would never walk behind him, but beside him.

And she's such a wonderful heroine too. She's not the typical beauty queen, girl power, kickass heroine. She's a *bookworm.* She's bushy-haired and bossy and haughty and she's the heroine. That's so fantastic. She's completely undispensable to Harry and the trio. The boys would be lost without her. Harry probably would have died years ago if it wasn't for her.

Harry in turn needs Hermione in a way that he doesn't even understand yet. I can't wait for the moment that his eyes are opened.

Me neither. Let's just hope it doesn't take losing her for him to see what's right in front of him.

I think that after reading your essay I fell in love with this couple all over again.

Writing this essay made me fall in love over and over. It was so much fun. I think that kind of makes me a dork (I had fun writing an essay! Woot!), but I did.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. *hugs back*
