As his hand on the wand tightened, he felt the hold on his occlumency slip. Memories in his mind replayed themselves. Hermione telling him she loved him. Her eyes beaming at him with adoration and joy. Her curls between his hands. The way she moaned his name softly when he was inside of her. Her infectious laugh. Her incredible intellect and curiosity. He inhaled and placed all the memories inside of a box in his mind and locked it away and with the next exhale, he flicked his wand to wake her up.
