Review for Battered Hearts

Battered Hearts

(#) BJH 2008-04-21

Given that they both have had their loving and loved spouses violently murdered just recently AND that Hermione is pregnant with the child of said murdered spouse then nice and easy is definitely the way to go.

The way I would see them progressing is that they continue to be there for each other. Perhaps one or the other of them has a nightmare while in Hawaii and the kids get the other to comfort them. The kids wind up in one room and Harry and Hermione wind up in bed together, no sex but some cuddling and maybe a guilty fondle. Then, after the crimes are solved, they can grow closer still. The solution to the mystery giving them both the closure they need to move on.

Finally, Harry is there when Hermione gives birth and they then come to understand that each needs the other. They move in together permanently but still have to wait to have sex the requiste 6 weeks.

I like the irony of them waiting to be sure and then having to wait some more when they are. Plus the idea of Harry having sex with Hermione while she is carrying Ron's child in her womb is just wrong.

Excellent points, as usual. Remember - true love waits, and in the meantime masturbates. . .
