Fics like Tomorrow

He hadn’t planned on there being a Tomorrow, after the Battle. He didn’t know what to think when he opened his eyes and saw the pale yellow curtains of the infirmary. He didn’t know what to think when he saw Hermione Granger slumped over in a chair next to him, dark circles under her eyes and looking very old for her seventeen years. He didn’t know what to think when he saw a copy of the Prophet in her lap, announcing the defeat of the Dark Lord. He particularly didn’t know what to think when she opened her eyes and gazed at him with apparent relief. “At least that’s one thing I’ve done right,” she whispered. She was so forlorn and sad. “I should have known better than to assume the worst of you, sir.” He might not have known what to think, but he knew what to do: pretend this had been his plan all along. Pretend he’d wanted to survive. Pretend he hadn’t been passively resigned, allowing the gods to determine his fate. Pretend he wasn’t shocked that someone had cared enough to come back for him.
