A/N:
So I was listening to PINK's "Who Knew" and I thought of this
story. For anyone who's ever buried someone they understand this
better than most.
You
took my hand
You showed me how
You promised me you'd be
around
Uh huh
That's right
I took your words
And I
believed
In everything
You said to me
Yeah huh
That's
right
Hermione stood looking out over the lake at Hogwarts. The giant squid moved lazily under the water. She really couldn't believe she was back at Hogwarts. It had been close to 20 years since she last stepped foot in the castle, but here she was.
If
someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand
up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong
I know
better
Cause you said forever
And ever
Who knew
It
had been a stupid fight really. They argued, but that was nothing
new. It was over place settings for the holidays. Nothing huge or
life altering, but he had stormed out of the house. She didn't know
where he went or when he would come back. This was normal for them;
they had been married for 20 years and known each other for 27. They
argued it was what they did. Remember
when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh
no
No no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still
call you friend
I'd give anything
Hermione
thought back over the last 27 years of knowing him. It had been
wonderful, frightening, and full of adventures. She couldn't
believe he was gone. They survived a war together and now he was
gone. They defeated the world's most evil wizard and he survived
only to get killed by a car. When
someone said count your blessings now
'fore they're long gone
I
guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
They knew
better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew
He
promised her he'd be there forever. Now she was burying him at the
tender age of 37. She really had loved him. As she looked out at the
lake she felt someone behind her. She didn't need to turn around;
she knew who it was already. He was her rock, he held her up and
helped her with the kids when they found out that he had died. He
wrapped his arms around her middle and just held her. Yeah
yeah
I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until
we
Until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What
happened
"Hermione, you need to come inside the service is going to start soon and the kids really need you there."
"Ok Harry. It's just not easy doing this. I loved him Harry I really did, despite our differences, despite that fact that I wanted a divorce, I really loved him."
"I
know Hermione, I know." If
someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand
up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong and
That last
kiss
I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes
It
harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep
Your memory
You
visit me in my sleep
My darling
Harry held Hermione's hand threw the whole service. She wept for Ron, she wept for her children who's father was now dead. She really had loved Ron, unfortunately she wasn't in love with Ron, she loved him more like a brother than anything. It still hurt to see his body lying in the casket at the front of the great hall though. Harry stood by her, her rock, no matter what he would be there for her.
Who
knew
My darling
My darling
Who knew
My darling
I miss
you
My darling
Who knew
Who knew
