Travelin' soldier 05/04/2010 09:31:00
A/N: Hey everyone, hope you had a great Easter! I love this song that the Dixie Chicks sing. The lyrics are slanted and at the end I took out the piccolo player since I didn't know how to fit him into my story. Sorry if you don't like it. Also, it kinda is none Hogwarts. Hermione has never met Draco before so yeah. Again, sorry if you don't like it.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own the SONG or HARRY POTTER!
Two days past eighteen
He was waiting for the bus in his army green
Sat down in a booth in a cafe there
Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair
Hermione was cleaning tables when she looked out the café window. Outside by the bus stop was a blonde man in army clothes. He looked around and saw her looking. He picked up his bags and came in.
He's a little shy so she gives him a smile
And he said would you mind sittin' down for a while
And talking to me,
I'm feeling a little low
She said I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go
After he slide into a booth Hermione fixed her red bow and went over to him. She smiled and he said, "Hey, would you mind sitting down fro awhile and talking? I feel a little low."
She smiled and said, "I am off in an hour and I know where we can go."
~an hour later~~~~~~~~~
So they went down and they sat on the pier
He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care
I got no one to send a letter to
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you
Hermione lead the boy to the pier by the café. "I bet you got a boyfriend, but could I send a letter to you? I haven't got anyone."
Hermione smiled and gave him her address right before his bus came.
I cried
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him they told her
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Our love will never end
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone when the letter said
A soldier's coming home
Hermione laid on her bed crying. Again Ron and her parents tell her she to young to wait for a travelin' soldier. But Hermione fought back saying that their love will never end. And she won't be alone when the letter says he is coming home.
When she went to get the mail she saw a letter from an army camp. She opened it and it read:
Hermione,
I think I might be in love with you. Thinks are getting scary over here but I close my eyes and your pretty smile keeps me safe. Don't worry but I won't be able to write for a bit.
D.M
So the letters came from an army camp
In California then Vietnam
And he told her of his heart
It might be love and all of the things he was so scared of
He said when it's getting kinda rough over here
I think of that day sittin' down at the pier
And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
Don't worry but I won't be able to write for awhile
By the end of his letter Hermione was crying. She rushed to Ginny's place and showed her the letter. Ginny sighed and said, "Honey, you are way to young to wait for his love. Give it up."
But Hermione said the same thing she says when they tell her she is too young, "Our love will never end. I won't be alone when his letter says he is coming home."
I cried
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him they told her
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Our love will never end
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone when the letter said
A soldier's coming home
Ron took Hermione to a football game a few Fridays later. After the Anthem a man come on to the field and read a list of local soldiers who had died. When the man read Draco Malfoy Hermione sat down and sobbed.
One Friday night at a football game
The Lord's Prayer said and the Anthem sang
A man said folks would you bow your heads
For a list of local Vietnam dead
Crying all alone under the stands
Was a piccolo player in the marching band
And one name read but nobody really cared
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair
I cried
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him they told her
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Our love will never end
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone when the letter said
A soldier's coming home
Everyone had said she was too young to wait for the love of a solider, but their love never ended. She never held the hand of another man. She was never alone and she waited for the letter that said the soldier was coming home.
I cried
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him they told her
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Our love will never end
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone when the letter said
A soldier's coming home
