Holy shit I just got overwhelmed by fremione feels and what if he was in love with her, but she was too busy paying attention to Ron and he kept putting off going after her because he thought they would date and break up and he was always like “oh, it’s fine, I’ve got time, I can wait it out for her” but then the war came and he STILL didn’t say anything because there were more important things and he could see that Hermione and Ron needed each other so he just kept putting it off and then the battle of hogwarts happened and now he’s in the afterlife, still waiting.
