| If only tears could bring you back -songfic It was the final battle and everyone knew it. The field surrounding Hogwarts was littered with the bodies of the dead. Harry Potter stood at the front lines. He was weary of the battle and only wanted it to be over. He looked to the left and saw Hermione conjuring up some bandages. He turned his attention back to the battle. Slowly their side pushed back Voldemort’s dark forces. It looked as if they would finally win. Then he emerged. The wizards shrank back from his power and only Harry stood tall. He was nineteen now and more powerful than any other wizard or witch in the entire world. He was also bitter after seeing so many of his friends killed and all he wanted now was revenge on the man that now stood before him. Soon the battle was a duel between Voldemort and Harry alone and the others pulled back. Harry finally got the best of him in a long drawn out battle of magic. He knocked Voldemort’s wand out of reach and pushed him down. “Any last words before you die scum?” growled Harry. “Actually…” he lifted up his hand and pointed one long pale finger to the sidelines. “Savagua Carnagsane!” he shouted and a large beam of sick green light shot forth. Like an arrow it flew across the battlefield and pierced the chest of a young girl with bushy brown hair and cinnamon eyes. “Hermione!” Harry screamed. *Three months later* Harry stood looking down at the small tombstone that marked Hermione’s grave. How will I start tomorrow without you here? Whose heart will guide me When all the answers disappear? “Oh, Hermione” Harry whispered. Why did it have to be her? How could he live on without her there to contradict his wild ways? She’d always been the guiding force in his life. Without her he was just hard. Is it too late? Are you too far gone to stay? Best friends forever, Should never have to go away “Can’t you come back to me? You can’t be gone forever!” he cried. He fell to his knees in front of the stone and began to sob. “You’re my best friend! You and Ron, you’re both gone! Why? Why you two? I’m all alone…” What will I do? You know I’m only half Without you How will I make it through? “I’ll never make it without you there” he murmured, his sobs turning to dry racking coughs. He had no tears left to cry. If only tears could bring you back to me If only love could find a way What I would do What I would give If you return to me Someday, Somehow, Someway If my tears could bring you back to me “I’d give anything to have you back here with me,” Harry said. He stared at the name on the tombstone. He traced the ‘H’ with his finger. “If my tears could resurrect people I could have brought everyone lost back,” Harry told the stone. He picked up one of the flowers at the base and leaned up against it. I’d cry you an ocean If you’d sail on home again Waves of emotion Will carry you through all they can “If I thought all my tears could bring you back, I’d cry forever,” Harry said softly. He rested his head against the cool marble. Just let love guide you And your heat will chart the course Soon you’ll be drifting Into the arms of you’re true north. “Come back to me,” Harry begged. He wasn’t sure how she could hear him, but he begged anyway. “Come back and I’ll hold you and never let you go,” Harry said. Look in my eyes You’ll see A million tears have gone by And still they’re not dry He felt his throat close up and his eyes prickle. “I didn’t think I had any left” he sighed. If only tears could bring you back to me If only love could find a way What I would do What I would give If you return to me Someday, Somehow, Someway If my tears could bring you back to me Harry cried. And remembered. Scenes of their school days flashed through his head. I’d hold you close And shout the words I only whispered before For one more chance For one last dance There’s not a thing that I would not endure! Their first dance in Muggle London, their first embrace, their first kiss, the first time they said those words… “I loved you, Hermione. I still do!” he said angrily. He leaped up and shouted it to the world. “I love her!” The wind whipped his words away. “I’d do anything to get her back,” he said and put his head in his hands. I sank down in front of her stone again. “I’ll find you Hermione, wherever you are.” If only tears could tears could bring you back to me If only love could find a way What I would do What I would give If you return to me Someday, Somehow, Someway If my tears could bring you back to me |
