He has been searching for her for six months. Almost everybody, including his best friend, had given up hope of her being found alive. Except him. He was still looking.

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,

And think of you

Caught up in circles confusion

Is nothing new

Flashback warm nights

Almost left behind

Suitcases of memories,

Time after...


Ron remembered that day as if it had been yesterday...

He and Hermione were going to meet in Hogsmeade to go over their wedding plans. They were newly engaged, and they were planning on a summer wedding, and since it had been winter, they needed to get started.

But Ron had waited at The Three Broomsticks for over an hour, with no sign of Hermione.

Sometimes you picture me

I'm walking too far ahead

You're calling to me, I can't hear

What you've said

Then you say go slow

I fall behind

The second hand unwinds

He'd gone up to Hogwarts, which was where she had been teaching Transfiguration. There was quite a commotion there. There were Aurors everywhere, and the teachers looked stricken. Ron found Professor McGonagall, the current Headmistress, and she told him what'd happened:

Hermione had been kidnapped by a Death Eater. The only clue was the piece of paper with the dark mark on it that had been found on Hermione's desk.

If you're lost you can look and you will find me

Time after time

If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting

Time after time

Ron and Hermione had played a big part in the murder of Lord Voldemort two years earlier, and apparently, a Death Eater, thinking Hermione was the object of Harry's affections, had kidnapped her, hoping to lure and kill Harry. But they were wrong; Hermione was the object of Ron's affections, so they were luring the wrong man...

And that's how he finds himself softly singing this song, 6 months later... and little does he know, miles away, it is being sung by none other than Hermione Granger...

After my picture fades and darkness has

Turned to gray

Watching through windows you're wondering

If I'm OK

Secrets stolen from deep inside

The drum beats out of time

"Ron..." Hermione whispered from her chamber. Bellatrix Lestrange had kidnapped her from her office at Hogwarts 6 months earlier... and she was still waiting for Ron to find her.

"Please... save me..."

You said go slow

I fall behind

The second hand unwinds


Ron had to find her... he'd promised himself that 6 months ago... and if Harry didn't want to help him, well, screw him. Who needs him anyway? I'm not Harry's sidekick; I can do thinks on my own, thank you very much.

If you're lost you can look and you will find me

Time after time

If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting

Time after time

"I'll be waiting..."
