hyoudov:They were asking him if he would trade a reality of power with the reality he lived in now; the reality with Granger. He tried to imagine it. He tried to imagine never being forced to stay in her dorm. He tried to imagine that all those arguments had never happened. He tried to imagine that she hadn’t sliced open his palm, and then hers, and blended their blood. He tried to imagine never kissing her after the bee sting. He tried to imagine that they’d never been ice-skating, or watched fireworks, or had sex, or read Shakespeare, or talked, or cried, or kissed, or screamed, or anything. He tried to imagine the absence of all those things, and merely the notion of such made something at his very core ache. A reality without his and Hermione’s isolation from the rest of the world, and all the events that had been catalysed by that, was not something he could even bear to contemplate. “Both of you already know my answer,” he said quietly. “I wouldn’t change it.” Luna beamed back at him with an almost proud expression. “I knew you were going to say that.” Leaning her head against Blaise’s shoulder, she sighed with contentment. “Everything’s going to change, and it’s going to be so much better.“ Isolation <3 -- source link
