"I was a stupid, foolish coward, En," said Hermione, sinking low into the bed and hiding her face behind her hands. "I gave up on Harry without a fight, that night of the Battle of Hogwarts. I know all the signs pointed to him being dead, but I knew he couldn't have been. Even then, I knew he wouldn't have done that to me ... he wouldn't have gone without saying goodbye. Not to me ... he might have told everyone else to kiss his arse, but he would have come to me one last time, if he hadn't been so duped by his loyalty to Dumbledore.
