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.
