Harmony

Harmony is the het ship between Harry Potter and Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter fandom.

Canon
Though Harry and Ron initially found Hermione Granger stuck-up and arrogant, the three became best friends after Harry and Ron saved her from a troll in their first year, and she in turn lied to keep them from getting in trouble. Her quick mind was at times the only thing that saved the three friends from potential failure in both life-threatening and every-day situations.

Hermione was always with Harry and was fiercely protective of him, from snapping at Lavender Brown when she doubted Harry's claim that Lord Voldemort had returned, to interceding when Dolores Umbridge was about to use the Cruciatus Curse on Harry. Hermione stood by Harry even when Ron doubted him during the Triwizard Tournament, accepting his story "without question," and when Ron temporarily left them in 1997, despite her own romantic feelings for Ron. Harry, for his part, was quick to defend Hermione against Cho Chang, Draco Malfoy, and others who insulted her, and protected her physically on instinct in dangerous places.

Though their friendship remained entirely platonic, at times their closeness engendered jealousy or curiosity in others, especially those who had feelings for one or the other, including Cho Chang, Viktor Krum, and even Ron. When the two were briefly alone together during the search for the Horcruxes, Harry and Hermione experienced some "charged moments," in which the two "shared something very intense"; however, Harry remained devoted to Ginny.

As Harry himself described, Hermione was one of two of his best friends. The two were also close enough to share their feelings with one another before sharing those feelings with their significant other. Through Hermione's marriage to Ron Weasley, and through Harry's marriage to Ginny, Hermione became his sister-in-law, as well as the aunt and godmother of his children.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
""Harry Potter," said Harry. "Are you really?" said Hermione. "I know all about you, of course -- I got a few extra books for background reading, and you're in Modern Magical History and The Rise and Fall of the Dark Arts and Great Wizarding Events of the Twentieth Century." "Am I?" said Harry, feeling dazed."

- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, ch. 6

"As they jostled their way through a crowd of confused Hufflepuffs, Harry suddenly grabbed Ron’s arm. "I’ve just thought — Hermione." "What about her?" "She doesn’t know about the troll." Ron bit his lip. "Oh, all right," he snapped. "But Percy’d better not see us.""

- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, ch. 10

"It was really lucky that Harry now had Hermione as a friend. He didn't know how he'd have gotten through all his homework without her, what with all the last-minute Quidditch practice Wood was making them do. She had also lent him Quidditch Through the Ages, which turned out to be a very interesting read."

- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, ch. 11

"Hermione's lip trembled, and she suddenly dashed at Harry and threw her arms around him. "Hermione!" "Harry — you're a great wizard, you know." "I'm not as good as you," said Harry, very embarrassed, as she let go of him. "Me!" said Hermione. "Books! And cleverness! There are more important things — friendship and bravery and — oh Harry — be careful!""

- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, ch. 16

""Harry!" Hermione looked ready to fling her arms around him again, but Harry was glad she held herself in as his head was still very sore. "Oh, Harry, we were so sure you were going to — Dumbledore was so worried—""

- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, ch. 17

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
"Harry, who was feeling distinctly hot in the face, said, "Whatever you heard about my greatness is a load of rubbish. I'm not even top of my year at Hogwarts; that's Hermione, she—" But he stopped quickly, because thinking about Hermione was painful."

- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, ch. 2

""Dobby can't, sir, Dobby can't, Dobby mustn't tell!" squealed the elf. "Go home, Harry Potter, go home!" "I'm not going anywhere!" said Harry fiercely. "One of my best friends is Muggle-born; she'll be first in line if the Chamber really has been opened—""

- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, ch. 10

""Time to split up the dream team, I think," he sneered. "Weasley, you can partner Finnigan. Potter—" Harry moved automatically toward Hermione. "I don't think so," said Snape, smiling coldly."

- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, ch. 11

"Harry was only half-listening. He didn’t seem to be able to get rid of the picture of Hermione, lying on the hospital bed as though carved out of stone."

- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, ch. 14

"Harry had been to several Hogwarts feasts, but never one quite like this. Everyone was in their pajamas, and the celebration lasted all night. Harry didn't know whether the best bit was Hermione running toward him, screaming "You solved it! You solved it!" or Justin hurrying over from the Hufflepuff table to wring his hand and apologize endlessly for suspecting him, or Hagrid turning up at half past three, cuffing Harry and Ron so hard on their shoulders that they were knocked into their plates of trifle, or his and Ron's four hundred points for Gryffindor securing the House Cup for the second year running, or Professor McGonagall standing up to tell them that the exams had been canceled as a school treat ("Oh, no!" said Hermione)"

- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, ch. 18

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
"Harry laughed as he put Hermione's letter aside and picked up her present. It was very heavy. Knowing Hermione, he was sure it would be a large book full of very difficult spells — but it wasn't. His heart gave a huge bound as he ripped back the paper and saw a sleek black leather case, with silver words stamped across it, reading Broomstick Servicing Kit. "Wow, Hermione!" Harry whispered, unzipping the case to look inside."

- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, ch. 1

""We thought you'd died," said Alicia, who was shaking. Hermione made a small, squeaky noise. Her eyes were extremely bloodshot."

- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, ch. 9

""Can I sit down, then?" Harry asked Hermione. "I suppose so," said Hermione, moving a great stack of parchment off a chair. ... "How are you getting through all this stuff?" Harry asked her. "Oh, well — you know — working hard," said Hermione. Close-up, Harry saw that she looked almost as tired as Lupin. "Why don't you just drop a couple of subjects?" Harry asked, watching her lifting books as she searched for her rune dictionary. "I couldn't do that!" said Hermione, looking scandalized. "Arithmancy looks terrible," said Harry, picking up a very complicated-looking number chart. "Oh no, it's wonderful!" said Hermione earnestly. "It's my favorite subject! It's—""

- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, ch. 12

"Only one person wasn't joining in the festivities. Hermione, incredibly, was sitting in a corner, attempting to read an enormous book entitled Home Life and Social Habits of British Muggles. Harry broke away from the table where Fred and George had started juggling butterbeer bottles and went over to her. ... "Come on, Hermione, come and have some food," Harry said, looking over at Ron and wondering whether he was in a good enough mood to bury the hatchet. "I can't, Harry. I've still got four hundred and twenty-two pages to read!" said Hermione, now sounding slightly hysterical. "Anyway…" She glanced over at Ron too. "He doesn't want me to join in.""

- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, ch. 13

""Crookshanks!" Hermione whispered uncertainly. She now grasped Harry's arm painfully hard. "How did he know—?" "He's friends with that dog," said Harry grimly. ... Harry pulled himself out of the hole, staring around. The room was deserted, but a door to their right stood open, leading to a shadowy hallway. Hermione suddenly grabbed Harry's arm again. Her wide eyes were traveling around the boarded windows. ... Both of them looked up at the ceiling. Hermione's grip on Harry's arm was so tight he was losing feeling in his fingers. He raised his eyebrows at her; she nodded again and let go."

- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, ch. 17

""Ready?" he whispered to Hermione. "You'd better hold on to me—" He nudged Buckbeak's sides with his heels. Buckbeak soared straight into the dark air. Harry gripped his flanks with his knees, feeling the great wings rising powerfully beneath them. Hermione was holding Harry very tight around the waist; he could hear her muttering, "Oh, no — I don't like this — oh, I really don't like this—""

- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, ch. 21

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
""What's that supposed to mean?" said Hermione defiantly. "Granger, they're after Muggles," said Malfoy. "D'you want to be showing off your knickers in midair? Because if you do, hang around. . . they're moving this way, and it would give us all a laugh." "Hermione's a witch," Harry snarled. "Have it your own way, Potter," said Malfoy, grinning maliciously."

- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, ch. 9

"He walked resolutely over to the portrait hole, pushed it open, climbed out of it, and found himself face-to-face with Hermione. "Hello," she said, holding up a stack of toast, which she was carrying in a napkin. "I brought you this.… Want to go for a walk?" "Good idea," said Harry gratefully. ... It was a chilly morning, and they kept moving, munching their toast, as Harry told Hermione exactly what had happened after he had left the Gryffindor table the night before. To his immense relief, Hermione accepted his story without question. "Well, of course I knew you hadn't entered yourself," she said when he'd finished telling her about the scene in the chamber off the Hall."

- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, ch. 18

"But Rita Skeeter had gone even further than transforming his "er's" into long, sickly sentences: She had interviewed other people about him too. "Harry has at last found love at Hogwarts. His close friend, Colin Creevey, says that Harry is rarely seen out of the company of one Hermione Granger, a stunningly pretty Muggle-born girl who, like Harry, is one of the top students in the school." ... Hermione had come in for her fair share of unpleasantness too, but she hadn't yet started yelling at innocent bystanders; in fact, Harry was full of admiration for the way she was handling the situation. "Stunningly pretty? Her?" Pansy Parkinson had shrieked the first time she had come face-to-face with Hermione after Rita's article had appeared. "What was she judging against — a chipmunk?" "Ignore it," Hermione said in a dignified voice, holding her head in the air and stalking past the sniggering Slytherin girls as though she couldn't hear them. "Just ignore it, Harry." But Harry couldn't ignore it."

- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, ch. 19

"When he'd finally got all his clothes on the right parts of his body, he hurried off to find Hermione, locating her at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall, where she was eating breakfast with Ginny. Feeling too queasy to eat, Harry waited until Hermione had swallowed her last spoonful of porridge, then dragged her out onto the grounds. There, he told her all about the dragons, and about everything Sirius had said, while they took another long walk around the lake. Alarmed as she was by Sirius's warning s about Karkaroff, Hermione still thought that the dragons were the more pressing problem. "Let's just try and keep you alive until Tuesday evening," she said desperately, "and then we can worry about Karkaroff." They walked three times around the lake, trying all the way to think of a simple spell that would subdue a dragon. Nothing whatsoever occurred to them, so they retired to the library instead. Here, Harry pulled down every book he could find on dragons, and both of them set to work searching through the large pile."

- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, ch. 20

""Harry!" she panted, skidding to a halt beside him (the Fat Lady stared down at her, eyebrows raised). "Harry, you've got to come - you've got to come, the most amazing thing's happened— please—" She seized Harry's arm and started to try to drag him back along the corridor. "What's the matter?" Harry said. "I'll show you when we get there — oh come on, quick—" Harry looked around at Ron; he looked back at Harry, intrigued. "Okay," Harry said, starting off back down the corridor with Hermione, Ron hurrying to keep up."

- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, ch. 21

"Hermione suddenly smiled very mischievously, and Harry noticed it too: It was a very different smile from the one he remembered."

- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, ch. 23

"Krum was at the front of the party, accompanied by a pretty girl in blue robes Harry didn't know. ... His eyes fell instead on the girl next to Krum. His jaw dropped. It was Hermione. But she didn't look like Hermione at all. She had done someting with her hair; it was no longer busy but sleek and shiny, and twisted up into an elegant knot at the back of her head. She was wearing robes made of a floaty, periwinkle-blue material, and she was holding herself differently, somehow — or maybe it was merely the absence of the twenty or so books she usually had slung over her back. She was also smiling — rather nervously, it was true — but the reduction in the size of her front teeth was more noticeable than ever; Harry couldn't understand how he hadn't spotted it before."

- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, ch. 23

""Harry, well done!" Hermione cried. "You did it, you found out how all by yourself!" "Well—" said Harry. He would have told her about Dobby, but he had just noticed Karkaroff watching him. ... "Yeah, that's right," said Harry, raising his voice slightly so that Karkaroff could hear him. "You haff a water beetle in your hair, Herm-own-ninny," said Krum. Harry had the impression that Krum was drawing her attention back onto himself; perhaps to remind her that he had just rescued her from the lake, but Hermione brushed away the beetle impatiently and said, "You're well outside the time limit, though, Harry.… Did it take you ages to find us?" "No… I found you okay. ... Krum didn't look happy at all. He attempted to engage Hermione in conversation again, but she was too busy cheering Harry to listen.""

- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, ch. 26

""Deprived of love since the tragic demise of his parents, fourteen-year-old Harry Potter thought he had found solace in his steady girlfriend at Hogwarts, Muggle-born Hermione Granger. Little did he know that he would shortly be suffering yet another emotional blow in a life already littered with personal loss. Miss Granger, a plain but ambitious girl, seems to have a taste for famous wizards that Harry alone cannot satisfy. Since the arrival at Hogwarts of Viktor Krum, Bulgarian Seeker and hero of the last World Quidditch Cup, Miss Granger has been toying with both boys' affections. Krum, who is openly smitten with the devious Miss Granger, has already invited her to visit him in Bulgaria over the summer holidays, and insists that he has 'never felt this way about any other girl.' However, it might not be Miss Granger's doubtful natural charms that have captured these unfortunate boys' interest. 'She's really ugly,' says Pansy Parkinson, a pretty and vivacious fourth-year student, 'but she'd be well up to making a Love Potion, she's quite brainy. I think that's how she's doing it.' Love Potions are, of course, banned at Hogwarts, and no doubt Albus Dumbledore will want to investigate these claims. In the meantime, Harry Potter's well-wishers must hope that, next time, he bestows his heart on a worthier candidate. ... The article sounded ten times worse when read by Snape. Even Hermione was blushing scarlet now."

- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, ch. 27

"Harry was getting sick of telling people that Hermione wasn't his girlfriend. "It'll die down, though," he told Hermione, "if we just ignore it.… People got bored with that stuff she wrote about me last time.""

- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, ch. 28

""I vant to know," he said, glowering, "vot there is between you and Hermy-own-ninny." Harry, who from Krum's secretive manner had expected something much more serious than this, stared up at Krum in amazement. "Nothing," he said. But Krum glowered at him, and Harry, somehow struck anew by how tall Krum was, elaborated. "We're friends. She's not my girlfriend and she never has been. It's just that Skeeter woman making things up." "Hermy-own-ninny talks about you very often," said Krum, looking suspiciously at Harry. "Yeah," said Harry, "because we're friends." He couldn't quite believe he was having this conversation with Viktor Krum, the famous International Quidditch player. It was as though the eighteen-year-old Krum thought he. Harry, was an equal - a real rival"

- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, ch. 28

""'Bye, Harry!" said Hermione, and she did something she had never done before, and kissed him on the cheek."

- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, ch. 37

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
"He caught a brief glimpse of a gloomy high-ceilinged, twin-bedded room, then there was a loud twittering noise, followed by an even louder shriek, and his vision was completely obscured by a large quantity of very bushy hair — Hermione had thrown herself onto him in a hug that nearly knocked him flat, while Ron's tiny owl, Pigwidgeon, zoomed excitedly round and round their heads. "HARRY! Ron, he's here, Harry's here! We didn't hear you arrive! Oh, how are you? Are you all right? Have you been furious with us? I bet you have, I know our letters were useless — but we couldn't tell you anything. Dumbledore made us swear we wouldn't, oh, we've got so much to tell you, and you've got to tell us — the dementors! When we heard — and that Ministry hearing — it's just outrageous, I've looked it all up, they can't expel you, they just can't, there's provision in the Decree for the Restriction of Underage Sorcery for the use of magic in life-threatening situations—" "Let him breathe, Hermione," said Ron, grinning ... Hermione, still beaming, let go of Harry"

- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, ch. 4

""They were bound to clear you," said Hermione, who had looked positively faint with anxiety when Harry had entered the kitchen and was now holding a shaking hand over her eyes. "There was no case against you, none at all…""

- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, ch. 9

"And as he thought this, the scar on his forehead burned so badly that he clapped his hand to it. "What's up?" said Hermione, looking alarmed. "Scar," Harry mumbled. "But it's nothing… it happens all the time now…" None of the others had noticed a thing"

- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, ch. 9

"The door banged open. Hermione came tearing into the room, her cheeks flushed and her hair flying. There was an envelope in her hand. "Did you—did you get—?" She spotted the badge in Harry's hand and let out a shriek. "I knew it!" she said excitedly, brandishing her letter. "Me too, Harry, me too!" "No," said Harry quickly, pushing the badge back into Ron's hand. "It's Ron, not me." "It—what?" "Ron's prefect, not me," Harry said. "Ron?" said Hermione, her jaw dropping. "But… are you sure? I mean—" She turned red as Ron looked round at her with a defiant expression on his face."

- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, ch. 9

""But I'm not a teacher, I can't—" "Harry, you're the best in the year at Defense Against the Dark Arts," said Hermione. "Me?" said Harry, now grinning more broadly than ever. "No I'm not, you've beaten me in every test—""

- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, ch. 15

"He looked helplessly at Hermione, whose face was stricken. "Harry," she said timidly, "don't you see? This… this is exactly why we need you… we need to know what it's r-really like… facing him… facing V…Voldemort." It was the first time she had ever said Voldemort's name and it was this, more than anything else, that calmed Harry."

- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, ch. 21

""Oh," said Ron, his smile fading slightly. "Are you that bad at kissing?" "Dunno," said Harry, who hadn't considered this, and immediately felt rather worried. "Maybe I am." "Of course you're not," said Hermione absently, still scribbling away at her letter. "How do you know?" said Ron in a sharp voice."

- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, ch. 21

"They got up and dressed; they could hear various inhabitants of the house calling "Merry Christmas" to each other. On their way downstairs they met Hermione. "Thanks for the book, Harry!" she said happily. "I've been wanting that New Theory of Numerology for ages! And that perfume is really unusual, Ron.""

- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, ch. 23

"Well — I have talked about it," Harry said in a whisper, "to Ron and Hermione, but—" "Oh, you'll talk to Hermione Granger!" she said shrilly, her face now shining with tears, and several more kissing couples broke apart to stare. "But you won't talk to me! P-perhaps it would be best if we just...just p-paid and you went and met up with Hermione G-Granger, like you obviously want to!""

- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, ch. 25

""Well, you see," said Hermione, with the patient air of one explaining that one plus one equals two to an overemotional toddler, "you shouldn't have told her that you wanted to meet me halfway through your date. ... And it might have been a good idea to mention how ugly you think I am too," Hermione added as an afterthought. "But I don't think you're ugly," said Harry, bemused." Hermione laughed."

- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, ch. 26

""That was a really horrible trick of Hermione Granger's," said Cho fiercely. "She should have told us she'd jinxed that list—" "I think it was a brilliant idea," said Harry coldly. Cho flushed and her eyes grew brighter. "Oh yes, I forgot — of course, if it was darling Hermione's idea-""

- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, ch. 28

"Grawp's hand had shot out of nowhere toward Hermione — Harry seized her and pulled her backward behind the tree ... Hermione clung to Harry behind the tree, shaking and whimpering."

- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, ch. 30

""Well done, Ha—" But the Death Eater Hermione had just struck dumb made a sudden slashing movement with his wand from which flew a streak of what looked like purple flame. It passed right across Hermione's chest; she gave a tiny "oh!" as though of surprise and then crumpled to the floor where she lay motionless. "HERMIONE!" Harry fell to his knees beside her ... A whine of panic inside his head was preventing him thinking properly. He had one hand on Hermione's shoulder, which was still warm, yet did not dare look at her properly. Don't let her be dead, don't let her be dead, it's my fault if she's dead. ... "Hermione," said Harry at once, shaking her as the baby-headed Death Eater blundered out of sight again. "Hermione, wake up…" ... Neville groped for Hermione's wrist. "Dat's a pulse, Harry, I'b sure id is…" Such a powerful wave of relief swept through Harry that for a moment he felt light-headed."

- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, ch. 35

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
""Well," said Hermione, "I thought he sounded a bit like you." "Like me?" "Yes, when you were telling us what it's like to face Voldemort. You said it wasn't just memorizing a bunch of spells, you said it was just you and your brains and your guts — well, wasn't that what Snape was saying? That it really comes down to being brave and quick-thinking?" Harry was so disarmed that she had thought his words as well worth memorizing as The Standard Book of Spells that he did not argue."

- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, ch. 9

""Oho! 'One of my best friends is Muggle-born, and she's the best in our year!' I'm assuming this is the very friend of whom you spoke, Harry?" "Yes, sir," said Harry. ... Hermione turned to Harry with a radiant expression and whispered, "Did you really tell him I'm the best in the year? Oh, Harry!""

- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, ch. 9

""Oh, come on, Harry," said Hermione, suddenly impatient. "It's not Quidditch that's popular, it's you! You've never been more interesting, and frankly, you've never been more fanciable." ... Harry was finding the Great Hall very hot all of a sudden, even though the ceiling still looked cold and rainy. ... "And it doesn't hurt that you've grown about a foot over the summer either," Hermione finished, ignoring Ron."

- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, ch. 11

"Harry caught Hermione's arm and held her back. "What?" said Hermione defensively. "If you ask me," said Harry quietly, "McLaggen looks like he was Confunded this morning. And he was standing right in front of where you were sitting." Hermione blushed. "Oh, all right then, I did it ... you saw how he reacted when he didn't get in — you wouldn't have wanted someone like that on the team." "No," said Harry. "No, I suppose that's true. But wasn't that dishonest, Hermione? I mean, you're a prefect, aren't you?" "Oh, be quiet," she snapped, as he smirked. "What are you two doing?" demanded Ron, reappearing in the doorway to the Great Hall and looking suspicious."

- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, ch. 11

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
""Ooh, you look much tastier than Crabbe and Goyle, Harry," said Hermione, before catching sight of Ron's raised eyebrows, blushing slightly, and saying, "Oh, you know what I mean — Goyle's potion looked like bogies.""

- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, ch. 4

"Two figures had appeared in the yard, as as Harry ran toward them he realized they were Hermione, now returning to her normal appearance, and Kingsley, both clutching a bent coat hanger. Hermione flung herself into Harry's arms, but Kingsley showed no pleasure at the sight of any of them."

- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, ch. 5

"Hermione turned around and beamed at Harry; her eyes too were full of tears. "…then I declare you bonded for life.""

- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, ch. 8

"Harry felt a thrill of something that was beyond excitement, more like fear. Now that he was so near, he wondered whether he wanted to see after all. Perhaps Hermione knew how he was feeling, because she reached for his hand and took the lead for the first time, pulling him forward."

- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, ch. 16

"He put his arm around Hermione's shoulders, and she put hers around his waist, and they turned in silence and walked away through the snow, past Dumbledore's mother and sister, back toward the dark church and the out-of-sight kissing gate."

- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, ch. 16

"She picked up the book and then walked back past him into the tent, but as she did so, she brushed the top of his head lightly with her hand. He closed his eyes at her touch, and hated himself for wishing that what she said was true: that Dumbledore had really cared."

- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, ch. 18

""Your mother confessed," sneered Riddle-Harry, while Riddle-Hermione jeered, "that she would have preferred me as a son, would be glad to exchange..." "Who wouldn't prefer him, what woman would take you, you are nothing, nothing, nothing to him," crooned Riddle-Hermione, and she stretched like a snake and entwined herself around Riddle-Harry, wrapping him in a close embrace: Their lips met."

- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, ch. 19

"Hermione was screaming again: The sound went through Harry like physical pain. Barely conscious of the fierce prickling of his scar, he too started to run around the cellar, feeling the walls for he hardly knew what, knowing in his heart that it was useless."

- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, ch. 23

""RUN!" Harry roared; the night was full of hideous yells and blows as the giants wrestled, and he seized Hermione's hand and tore down the steps into the grounds, Ron bringing up the rear.Harry had not lost hope of finding and saving Hagrid; he ran so fast that they were halfway toward the forest before they were brought up short again."
