———      ernie swallows   ,   his entire weight leaning on the wall beside hannah as they settle in their new home for however long they’ll be stuck in the room of requirement   .   he can’t help the way he’s leaning on her   ,   emotionally   ,   despite him being known for being the leader   ,   the one with the loudest voice   ,   a natural at making people follow him   ,   charismatic   .   the long held pride in his blood is dwindling fast   ,   as those around him who declare their purity   ,   poison the world   .   ❛   c’mere   ,   han   -   -   -   give me your hands   .   ❜   if he can’t hold justin as well   ,  he can hold hannah just as tight as he knows justin would hold them both   .   they were shaking   ,   from the tortures   ,   as they sat there   .   .   .   he’d gotten them out of the common room   &   into the room of requirement after he’d been given the same treatment   .   he’d been standing with neville   ,   luna   &   ginny since they’d re   -   started dumbledore’s army   ,   sneaking out every night to draw on the stone walls   ,   &   couldn’t help the overwhelming desire to just keep a hold of hannah   ,   to keep a hold of one of the few life rafts he had left   .
