Description First of all, I want to thank you all of you who left me comments in the latest times.
My real lif is being so busy, and not only with happy things, so I haven't time to answer you.
But I wanted to let you know that your words fill my heart with happiness and power to keep me going on.

Well yesterday was my Birthday, and since I didn't post any new drawing since the year had begun, I think this is the best time, right?

Some of you could like to know from where my ideas come, what you know, was my first wish when I chose to post my fanarts at the web: to share with everybody, the shinning moment of the creation!
Great part of the images I've been creating come to me after reading some passages of, most of the times, fanfics.
Sometimes the idea comes from different images, photos, pictures, art, that I transform in Ron and Hermione's moments.
This one came to me after I listened to a song, one I have already knew the lyrics and the story behind it since I was too much young.

It was back in January, when I was spending my vacations on the beaches.
I watched, in the beginning of one afternoon, a "House MD" episode where this song appeared.
Later, at the same day, I was walking on the beach and remembered to search for it in my iPod that was with me.
And I will never forget the image of the drawing coming to me while I listen to it and watch the sea!
Ron passing his hand in Hermione's hair, while she was sleeping!
The place where they were, for most obvious that could had been, when I had my first thoughts about it, just came to me days after: Shell Cottage!

For me, R&Hr time in Shell Cottage was crucial for them understand the feelings of one for another.
At Malfoy manor, Ron faced the terror of almost lose Hermione, and she had the certain of how much she was important to him.
Like someone said at "Checkmated" site, "on those moments Ron turned his feelings from what does Hermione think of me to no matter what she thinks, I love her and the world cannot be right for me without her in it, a similar emotional awakening that for sure Hermione felt when Ron was poisoned about a year before".

He realized what to love her really was. The pain of she doesn't want to be with him couldn't be worse than the pain of not to be around her anymore.
He wanted first of all to see her safe and happy.
And of course he wouldn't be insecure anymore to show her his true feelings by his acts, without fear of her answer, because they faced the reality, through Bellatrix madness, of how fragile could be their future.
He wanted to be loved by her, but most of all, he wanted her near to be loved by him!
So, he would fight to have her alive by his side at the end of the war.

Again, my love for them turned this song in a perfect one for this moment.

While I was working in this drawing I read many, many wonderful fanfics about missing moments of this DH's passage, but I decided to invited a friend to post a new one with the fanart, and I'm glad that my dear Tammy, aka "Missgranger2" accepted my invite!

I hope you like to read her fanfic as much as I did!
And isn't great to know they will be filming Shell Cottage moments for "Deathly Hallows" movie in a few days, just after Easter?


The song: Nessun Dorma

"Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma! Tu pure, o Principessa, nella tua fredda stanza, guardi le stelle che tremano d'amore, e di speranza!"

None shall sleep! None shall sleep! Even you, O Princess, in your cold bedroom, watch the stars that tremble with love and with hope!

"Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me; il nome mio nessun saprà! No, No! Sulla tua bocca lo dirò quando la luce splenderà!"

But my secret is hidden within me; none will know my name! No, no! On your mouth I will say it when the light shines!

"Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio che ti fa mia!"

And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine!

"Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle! Tramontate, stelle! All'alba vincerò! Vincerò! Vincerò!"

Vanish, o night! Set, stars! Set, stars! At daybreak I shall win! I shall win! I shall win!

YOU CAN READ THE FANFIC AND LISTEN TO THE SONG AT MY LIVEJOURNAL:

This one, my first drawing of the year, couldn't be dedicated to no one else than
IceCreamMan’s site girls:AJ, Jo and Karo!
Thank you who gave me one of the most beautiful gifts I could ever dream to have: Rupert's Grint sign in one of my drawings!

It was made in a Canson 180gr A4 size paper using mixed thecnhiques: gouache, watercolour pencils, pastels.
NO PHOTOSHOP.
And believe me, it was very hard to do Ron's eye in this size!

I love your drawings ^^ They are so real and detailed, you put a lot of work into them.
Shell Cottage is indeed an awesome part, at least for me, it let me fantasize about the moments we didn't read about... What happened when Ron carried Hermione to Shell Cottage? When he let her down on the bed? Did he confessed her he loved her while she was unconscious? We never knew, so I wrote my own version, lol, and this drawing fits it! Keep drawing!

5redroses [2009-07-22 19:16:19 +0000 UTC]

Really sweet I like the detail like the curtains which are being blown in the wind, but wouldn't that affect Ron and Hermione's hair too? Also, what fabric are Ton's trousers made from?

beautiful. Love Ron's arms and the bed frame has shells on it, I wonder if that will be in the film? The house is literally made of Sea Shells.

Anyway. Beautiful :3

Raakone [2009-04-06 22:28:33 +0000 UTC]

Very beautiful, I like it. I always love the detail you use. And I know the song you're talking about, it was Pavarotti's signature tune, and the anthem of Worldcup '90 (and during that time, Pavarotti's rendition of it was shown in charts normally reserved for rock and rap, at least in the UK, where I was at the time)

raiju25 [2009-04-06 22:18:10 +0000 UTC]

The best moment JK have to write the spected "I love you" was that moment, full of emotions, fear, love, angry, hope, tender, hate, and many many more. You right Ron change in that moment, doen't worry about if she loves him, the only thing on mind is "It doen't matter if she doen't loveme, doesn't matter if she loves another, the only thing I want is to see her safe and happy" that's the real meaning of true love.
A few years ago, at law school I reed Erich Fromm and I can resume love as "Real love say I needyou, beacause I love you", and I think Hermione and Ron love is that way.
As always your art is wondeful, congratulations, and an a pologize for my bad English.
