A/N:: This is a Hermione/George song fic to "Desperately" by Michelle
Branch. I hope you like it Review please!
**Something 'bout the way you looked at me
Made me think for a moment
That maybe we were meant to be
Living our lives separately
And it's strange that things change
But not me wanting you so desperately.**
Hermione used almost all of her prefect privilege telling off George Weasley. He seemed to be the one that made the most trouble out of the two twins. A few days ago, Hermione thought for a moment that George had been deliberately causing trouble. He looked so happy when she was telling him off or giving him detention. Strange things like this kept happening, especially since Ron didn't do anything to tell off his older brothers. But the strangest thing happened in mid October. Harry hinted to her to go to the 2nd floor corridor by the statue of a witch playing the violin. She did, and she found George smiling at her.
**Oh why can't I ignore it?
I keep giving in but I should know better
'Cause there was something 'bout the way you looked at me
And it' s strange that things change
But not me wanting you so desperately.**
Hermione had no choice but to give in. They stayed a couple in secret for a long time, acting as horribly to each other in front of Harry, Ron, Fred and anyone else. Hermione then found her grades slipping before her eyes and she put school in front of the boys. She dumped him in late May, simply telling him that they had finals and everything, then they wouldn't see each other all summer and next year George wouldn't be in Hogwarts. Hermione knew she still loved him, but there was nothing she could do.
**You looked my way and said, "You frustrate me"
Like you're thinking of lines and times
When you and I were you and me.**
George only spoke to Hermione to tease her, in trying to win her back, but it seemed nothing worked. He still hadn't told the others about Hermione and his secret, but he felt they were onto him. Hermione knew she had a week between the end of finals and summer. She knew this was her last time to make it up the George. She was nervous, though. Hermione knew he was trying to find an interest in other girls, but she could see that he wasn't successful. They had a Hogsmeade weekend the week before they left. George signed up, after seeing Hermione's name on the list. This was the only time, possibly ever that he would be able to see her without the watchful eye of his mother on them. Sure, Hermione would be at the Burrow, he would see her over the summer, but he knew his mother would never approve. There was also no way he would be able to pull off anything at their house without anyone noticing. Hermione knew this was her last chance.
**We took our chance out on the street
Then I missed my chance
And chances are it won't be coming back to me.**
Hermione had to take the compartment with George in it, because Ron, Harry, and Ginny were there and she couldn't pretend she wanted to sit anywhere else. George took a deep breath in as she sat down across for him. No one noticed they were the only two not talking. When they got into Hogsmeade, they enjoyed a full day of hanging out in the city. Hermione was also dragged into the whole day in George's company. She tried telling him several times, but when she opened her mouth to even call his name, her mouth went dry and she couldn't find her voice. He of course was doing the same. Finally, they walked down the street back to the train. Hermione stopped in the middle of the street. She wanted to do it, wanted to say, "I love you" to him, but instead, all that came out was "Have a good summer." He nodded in sad agreement.
**Why can't I ignore it?
I keep giving in but I should know better
'Cause there is something 'bout the way you looked at me
And it's strange that things change
But not me wanting you-
So desperately
So desperately**
George and Fred celebrated that night their last night at Hogwarts forever. They dragged all their friends (The whole Gryffindor house, along with some friends' friends and people from other houses) our to the lake. Fred hired Lee Jordan to set off fireworks. The display was about to start. Hermione was lying down on the blanket she brought out. To her astonishment, George came and sat down beside her. They didn't speak a word until the fireworks started. He had only just thought of this as the right time to talk to her again.
**Oh why can't I ignore it?

As the fireworks were up in the sky, it seemed like everyone in the whole castle came to see them. Even Dumbledore was there, but George and Hermione didn't notice this. Their faces and bodies looked like they were intently focused on the fireworks, but they didn't take in any of it. They were thinking about each other. The fireworks ended, and everyone was leaving. Hermione didn't know what to do. She rose up into a sitting position and looked around. Her eyes met George's and it was like old times again, they were absorbed in each other and finally George kissed her. It felt like they were still in February, when all of this was at its peak. "I'm sorry" Hermione whispered.
**I want you so desperately
I keep giving in but I should know better
I keep giving in but I should know better
So desperately**
George and Hermione managed to keep to themselves on the train ride home.
"I don't know when I'll see you again." George said.
"I'll come soon, I promise." Hermione whispered. They kissed one last time and got off the train.
"Come visit the burrow soon, Ok?" George said like they were just friends in front of his mother.
"Yeah, that would be great." She replied. "Bye." When no one was looking, She blew him a kiss. He winked.
