He cupped her face in his hands; his eyes finding hers. "Hermione, how many ways do you feel you must save me? I am here, breathing, because of you. If I had the choice, I’d sacrifice all my magic for you. Again and again. Yes, I miss my powers, but darling, you and Celeste are my whole world. I shouldn’t even be standing here. Was it not for you, I’d be watching you through my portrait, wishing you nothing but happiness." He leaned his forehead against hers, hands softly brushing her hair. "I thank Merlin every day for giving me more time with you because I know even eternity won’t be long enough to love you."
