Summary
Affinity. One tiny, almost unheard of word that surfaces in the back of his mind from a book read so long ago that he can no longer recall the title, only the yellowed fabric cover. Something so unheard of he is surprised he remembers it at all, a bedtime story, a fairytale for the Wizarding world. Something so impossible that it cannot possibly be real, and yet the certainty of it has settled deeply in his bones.
He wonders if she knows. Wonders if she understands the magnitude of what has passed between them (what will pass between them, the voice in the back of his mind hisses). She has grown up in the Muggle world, she likely does not know or understand the intimacy of something that is barely more than a myth, even to most witches and wizards. He throws the fire whiskey back, and pours another drink, fully intending to drink beyond memory. To erase that look in Granger's eyes from his mind.
