Hey!

This story is supposed to be based on book 7, I started writing it before it came out.

Please R&R! It's only my second story and it's my first ever on Harry Potter.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. However, I do own the poem which this story is based on. COPY CATS WILL BE PUNISHED!!!!

Dedication: A special thankyou to Phoenix Fanatic who was my beta for this story and has helped me through the whole nine months I have been working on it. Thanks Pho!

Anyways, again, please R&R. CONSTRUCTIVE critism is always appreciated. Thanks.

And on with the story...


Wake Up

Harry Potter walked into the empty dormitory and threw himself on top of his four poster bed

You're feeling cold and heavy

The day's events passed through his mind in a blur

Your palms are sweaty

He couldn't understand, it had all happened so fast

Your dreams are falling

He had failed her, he had failed himself.

The darkness is calling

Ginny, his precious Ginny was gone

It's all around you

And it was all his fault.

You feel the pressure

He felt as if the world was closing in on him

Of all your life, once whole and together

But it felt as though his heart had been ripped into pieces

Is now apart

How could he have been so stupid? That split second could have saved her life!

Now we're back at the start

He was feeling cold and heavy

Your thoughts are deep

He had caused so much pain, made so many mistakes

The hills are steep

And he had suffered the consequences

You went down the wrong path

If only he could turn back time…

And you can't go back

But that was impossible

Your soul is dying

The guilt of Ginny's death weighed down on his shoulders like a ton of bricks

Your heart is crying

Knowing he would never again see her smile, hear her laugh, feel her soft lips on his

You look into the mirror

Thanks to him, no one ever would

But you can't see the greatness that's hiding

He wanted to run

Run away from his life and then keep on running

Wake up

But what good would that do?

Get out of that nightmare

No good at all

Wake up

Shouldn't he try to fix the damage he caused, instead of leave it to others to pick up the pieces?

See the light, don't cower to fear

He was scared

What if someone else got hurt? Like Ron or Hermione?

You know you've been keeping it all inside

All he could see ahead was the dark, twisted path leading up to Voldemort

Don't just run away and hide

He had to do this

It's time to get up

For Ginny!

Come on

He opened his eyes

Wake Up!

Harry Potter stood up and walked out of the room with fresh determination and strength. He knew what he was fighting for. It was all up to him.

In the end, he always knew it would come to this.
