Saw Brave today and while watching it I was thinking that Merida could easily be Rose Potter. We all know Harry is the father of Rose after all his mother was a red-head so he will carry the red head gene. Her hair is so hermioneish.

“It’s the wrong time she’s pulling me through
It’s a small crime and I got no excuse
And is that all right, yeah?”

It was the end of his First Year when Harry realized what Hermione was doing.

He was just looking for some quiet time, a little break from the chaos surrounding the House Cup upheaval. The small table in the corner of the library had just enough sunlight to be properly lit, but was dark enough to still be in the shadows. 

Of course, Hermione was there, writing down everything she wanted to study and read over the summer. Her bushy hair was flying everywhere and her eyes were flickering over the page too fast for Harry to even keep up with.

What got his attention was the quill in Hermione’s hand. Specifically, the pattern is seemed to be tapping out. Every downward flick of the quill seemed to correspond to a word Hermione was mouthing. He sat, fascinated, watching the young witch use some sort of musical memory to memorize all of her information. That’s bloody brilliant.

He promised himself to watch Hermione more carefully next year. After all, he needed all the help he could get in Potions. Maybe a little music memory was for the best.

Second year rolled around and Harry found himself disappointed. Hermione seemed to have abandoned the quill-tapping method in favor of head bobbing. Every time he went with Hermione to study (much to Ron’s distress: “C’mon, Harry, just one more game of Wizard’s Chess?”), he attempted to match the mystical bobbing of Hermione’s head in an effort to find the magical rhythm that would lead him to academic success.

He ended up looking like a spastic chicken. He never managed to match Hermione’s rhythm. And, though Petunia Dursley would never admit it, she was a little afraid her nephew had finally lost it after she caught him doing his chores and bobbing his head. It must’ve been some sort of ritual. 

During their third year, Harry was committed to keeping up with Hermione’s rhythm. With a groan, he realized she had once again changed her method. Instead of head bobbing, she was foot tapping. Harry still doesn’t talk about the time Hermione found him looking none too discretely under the table. A lot of blushing and stammering later, Harry came clean.

“Harry, what are you doing?”

Harry blushed.

“I’mtryingtomatchyourrhythmsoIcanhavebettergrades.”

Hermione blinked at Harry’s rushed sentence. But she was Hermione Granger and one of her best friends was Ron Weasley—she had some experience in deciphering conversation between muffled mouths of food.

“Harry, you can’t just match my rhythm. You have to find your own. Think of it like dancing. No one dances the same. They keep a basic count in their head, but you remember the steps differently.”

Harry didn’t really believe her, but Hermione had her teaching face on and was looking expectant, so he just nodded.

For the next few years, Harry looked to Hermione in the common room or in the library. She went from foot tapping, to finger tapping, to some sort of wrist twirling, and finally she rested on some form of hip sashaying. Which did absolutely nothing for Harry’s concentration.

Still, he was more than surprised when no one seemed to catch on or mention Hermione’s studying habits. Surely someone else had noticed that Hermione was constantly tapping out some sort of beat. 

In the common room, she walked with a little jaunt to and from the dorm room to the portrait hole.

In the classroom, she reverted back to quill tapping. Well, he supposed Professor Snape noticed, but it was more of a “Granger, are you incapable of sitting still for 5 minutes or are you determined to start demonstrating your prowess at dancing as well?”.

Still, no one seemed to notice that Hermione lived her life in a rhythm. It dictated every one of her movements.

He spent six years trying, and failing, to match her rhythm. It never quite clicked. 

Every time he thought he had finally matched her, she changed her beat.

He didn’t know when watching Hermione stopped being about finding a new study method, and more about just observing the way her muscles and tendons moved across her arms and legs to the beat she chose. Or the way he pony tail bounced side to side as she walked across the library. Or the way she always turned the radio on when she was feeling down. 

Hermione just lived her life to some sort of unheard beat.

He sighed, giving up. He would never understand.

But then 7th Year happened.

Ron left.

And the rhythm died from Hermione’s body.

She stopped tapping her foot, she stopped moving her hips side to side as she set up the wards.

The radio hadn’t been touched in days.

Harry didn’t know why he was mad at Ron—for abandoning them or for killing the rhythm in Hermione.

Well, he wouldn’t stand for it. Hermione was sitting there, curled in on herself, completely motionless. No more.  He stood and went to turn on the radio. Some slow, slightly mournful song came on. This is gonna have to do.

He reached for Hermione. He didn’t know what beat she moved to. He didn’t even know what beat he moved to. But he would try. Anything to get her moving. To get her smiling.

She was stiff at first. Unyielding and hesitant to move. But then he smiled and she gave in and they were moving.

For every push, she pulled. Every step he took forward, she took back. Until they were falling into the dance together, bodies pressed together, soaking up warmth and joy and they were creating a rhythm all their own.

His chest tightened in pleasure as he heard her laughter. She finally pulled away and he grinned when he saw Hermione’s hips swish back and forth as she reached to turn off the radio.

“Thanks, Harry.”

He just grinned stupidly. 

Because it finally clicked.

His rhythm was not meant to match Hermione’s.

It was meant to compliment it.

They moved in perfect harmony.
