We met on a rainy day
My Dearest Hermione,
You have been my best friend for many years.
But I truly met you on a rainy day.
Do you remember?
It was in December.
You asked Ron and I for help.
To find you the perfect Christmas Tree.
But Ron couldn't make it.
Thank God.
You looked angry and told me I was late.
I smiled and apologized.
You grabbed my hand.
My heart raced.
You showed me a tall tree and asked my opinion.
I thought it was too green.
You rolled your eyes, and bought it anyway.
Then the thunder came.
The rain poured down.
We got soaked.
We apparated to your house.
I helped you carry the tree inside.
We decorated it.
You went to make popcorn.
But you slipped on a puddle of water.
And you sprained your knee.
I had to help you up to your bed.
That's when I couldn't resist anymore.
I kissed you.
You were shocked.
But you kissed me back.
Kissing you was all I wanted to do.
So I did.
We made love for the first time.
It was wonderful.
All day I was thankful.
That Ron couldn't make it that day.
I spent two nights at your house.
You made me a very happy man.
I loved you very much.
And told you every change I got.
A beautiful year passed.
Then I bought a diamond ring.
I apparated to your house.
And got down on one knee.
I asked you to be my wife.
You started to cry.
I was scared.
But you told me they were happy tears.
Then you said yes.
The sun shined on our wedding day.
It felt like a fairy tale.
You looked beautiful.
As your father walked you down the isle.
You had a beautiful dress.
Beautiful hair.
Gorgeous smile.
You took my hand.
Then said I do.
And promised to be mine forever.
You became Mrs. Potter.
We went to Miami for our honeymoon.
We hardly left the bedroom.
When we returned to London.
We bought a house together.
I started a new job with the Auror department.
As you worked hard to create the S.P.E.W department.
I remember how Ron mocked you.
It made you mad.
You would furrow your brow and purse your lips.
I thought you looked cute when you got angry.
It made me want to kiss you.
Then Kinglsey Shacklebolt want to make me head of the department.
In Italy.
I talked to you about it.
You refused to leave England.
We got into a fight.
And you stormed out of the house.
I was scared our marriage was over.
But you came back the next day.
We had make up sex.
Three times.
I decided I wouldn't take the job in Italy.
It was a once in a life time opportunity.
But you're better.
Because you are my life.
Then you told me you were pregnant.
I was surprised.
But so happy.
Every month I watched you get bigger.
And bigger.
Until you thought you were the size of a house.
I was there for everything.
Food cravings.
Healer appointments.
Back massages.
Foot rubs.
And then your water broke.
We went to St. Mungo's.
You were in labor for thirteen hours.
I held your hand.
And told you how much I loved you.
Then you brought Amy into the world.
I held her in my arms and my heart exploded with love for her.
But something went wrong.
You lost too much blood.
The Healers tried everything.
But you died.
I wanted to die too.
Part of me did die.
I cried for you.
I wanted you back so much.
But life went on.
I had to for her.
Amy.
She was all I had left of you.
As time went on she grew.
She learned to crawl.
To walk.
To talk.
She had your thick bushy hair.
And brown eyes.
Before I knew it she started Hogwarts.
She is smart like you.
She came in top of all her classes.
She always wanted to know about you.
I told her everything.
But she always wanted more.
Last week was her sixteenth birthday.
Sixteen years without you.
I took her to a Quidditch match.
England verses Australia.
It rained that day.
Ron and Luna came too.
Then I saw it.
Amy sitting in the bleachers with Ron's son Jordan.
They were holding hands.
Staring into each others eyes.
Then they kissed.
Did I mention it was raining?
It reminded me of us.
How we began.
Nineteen years ago on a rainy day.
I think of all the things you are missing.
Amy's life.
It breaks my heart.
I miss you.
I long for the day when I can finally join you.
But for now our daughter needs me.
She keeps me going.
I hope that wherever you are you can read this.
And that you are always with me.
Love Harry
P.S. Amy O.W.L. results are in.
All O's.
It's raining again today.
