It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more.

you put up your defenses when you leave
you leave because you’re certain of who you want to leave
you’re putting up your armour when you leave
you leave because you’re certain of who you want to be#this relationship is so so important to me #if draco doesn’t love his mother to death in fic - and vice versa - you’re wrong #she didn’t want her baby to go away to durmstrang because it was too far away #she risked her life for him not just in the forbidden forest but potentially for making that unbreakable vow - surely voldemort’s reaction to that could have been a mess #it’s like - not even a question to her that draco is above all things #she reacts to the idea of protecting draco above all else with such - resignment seems too negative a term - just #a total sound sense of OF COURSE this is what i am doing there is no other option #and that amount of love and loyalty is staggering #and it’s not going to fall apart in the face of potential differing ideologies or queer leanings or anything else #not when she shows so clearly by the end that draco matters to her more than these idealogies really do #i’m not saying she doesn’t believe in pureblood supremacy or have those beliefs ingrained in her in a very real way #i’m just saying draco means more to her than that

“Where else in cinema or a big film franchise is there a female character that is not just supplementary or additional or the pretty face. She’s a breakthrough, I think. Ron says at the beginning, “I don’t know if we’ll get through a day without Hermione”. She’s like the brains behind the whole operation. And she’s so integral to that trio and to Harry’s success. I think she’s a very important figure.”
