Goodbye
The train ride from Hogwarts had seemed like the shortest few hours of Hermione's life. And now it was over, and it was time to say goodbye to her two best friends, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley.
"Well.goodbye. It's been fun," Ron said, turning to follow his brothers away. And it had been. Voldemort had been defeated in the middle of the year, or at least he had disappeared again, and most of the Death Eaters had been caught and put in Azkaban. The rest of the year had been quite normal. And they had all passed their N.E.W.T.s, Hermione with flying colors, of course. But now that was over, and they were going their separate ways.
"Bye, Ron!" Harry and Hermione called after their friend.
"I see my parents," Hermione said sadly.
"Hermi, It's time to go!" Bryan, Hermione's 12 year old brother said, grabbing her wrist and trying to pull her away.
"Bryan, wait!" she protested.
Another turning point,
A fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist
Directs you were to go
Hermione turned to Harry and on impulse threw her arms around him. "Goodbye, Harry. I'll miss you," she told him, tears flowing down her face.
"Goodbye, Hermione. I'll miss you too. I hope the rest of your life is full of good times and happiness."
"And I hope the same for you, Harry Potter," she told him, turning to let her brother drag her away.
So make the best of this test
And don't ask why
It's not a question
But a lesson learned in time
Before walking through the barrier, or actually being dragged through it, Hermione turned and waved to Harry and was a bit surprised to see the tears in his eyes as he waved back at her. "I hope you had a great time while we were together," she whispered. "Goodbye."
It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
Two Months Later
"This one goes here..and this goes here.and this one," Hermione muttered to herself as she tried to decide where to put all her pictures from Hogwarts in her room. "This one.Wow! I remember when that was taken, right after the 6th year Yule Ball. Ron took Lavender, and Harry and I went together. That was so much fun." She trailed off as she looked at the picture of herself standing next to Harry.
So take the photographs
And still frames in your mind
Hang them on a shelf in good health
And good time
Hermione sighed, put the picture on the shelf, and moved on to the next one. "Okay, next picture. This one can go here.and this,"
"Hermi, come down here for a minute!" Hermione's mom called.
"I'll be down in a minute, Mom!" Hermione replied, turning back to her photos. "Okay, this one can go here.and this.Oh, this was taken in 5th year! Colin took the picture of us in the hallway when Harry had his arm around me. Harry chased the poor kid around the first floor for a whole 20 minutes. That was so funny!"
Tattoos of memories
And dead skin on trial
For what it's worth
It was worth all the while
"Hermione, get down here!" her mom called up to her again, pulling her away from her memories.
"Coming!" Hermione called back, starting to get up. She looked back at all the pictures she had left to sort through and place and sat back down. "I'll go down in a minute," she promised herself. "I want to look at a few more of these first."
It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
After about five minutes of looking at pictures, Hermione heard her mom call again.
"Hermione Lynn Granger, get down here this instant!"
"Coming, Mom!" Hermione yelled, jumping up and running down the stairs. "What is it, Mom?" she asked as she walked into the kitchen.
"I think there's mail for you, Hermi," her mom answered, motioning to the window. Hermione turned and saw the snowy owl sitting on the windowsill. Tied to its leg was a letter. A letter from Harry.
It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
*Well, what did you think? This is my first fanfic, so please go easy on me. Like I said, whether I continue this or not depends on what the people who review want me to do, so please review. If I continue it, it probably won't be a songfic, I just thought the ssong fit with the fic.
