Me and You

Lady Lupin

Disclaimer: Everything from the world of Harry Potter belongs to the great JKR…and I wouldn't dream of saying it was mine.  The song Not That Different belongs to Colin Raye.

A/N: Ok this is a nice little fluffy song fic that has no reference whatsoever to any of my other stories….I just heard this song and thought, "Its Hermione and Ron!"  So enjoy.

****

She said we're much too different


We're from two separate worlds


And he admitted she was partly right


But in his heart's defense he told her


What they had in common


Was strong enough to bond them for life


He said look behind your own soul


And the person that you'll see


Just might remind you of me

I laugh, I love, I hope, I try


I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry


And I know you do the same things, too


So we're really not that different, me and you

"Ron look, we are so different.  You were wizard born and only comfortable in this world.  I was muggle born and comfortable in both.  And you won't accept that.  Face it, we are much too different." Hermione told Ron as she packed her things.  He looked at her sadly.  Dammit she's right on that account.  But he took her hand.

"Hermione we may be different, but we are alike too.  Deep down, were it counts, we are alike." He told her.  (A/N: Now I couldn't think of anything that he would say here, so I used the words from the song)  "I laugh, I love, I hope, and I try.  I hurt, I need, I fear, and I cry.  And Hermione I know you do all those things too.  We did them all together during the war (A/N: He referrers to the war I just imagined that ended the Dark rein.).  So we are not different.  Not where it counts."  He said, still holding her hand. 

Now she could hardly argue


With his pure and simple logic


But logic never could convince a heart


She had always dreamed of loving someone more exotic


And he just didn't seem to fit the part

She looked at him, knowing she couldn't very well argue with that.  It was logic and she was one who almost always listened to logic.  Almost.  She really couldn't imagine loving Ron her whole life.  He seemed so ordinary.  She wanted to have experiences, and marrying her school sweetheart was not a way to have them.    So she had accepted Viktor's offer to come and work with him in Bulgaria.  And taking her hand out of his, she told Ron so.

So she searched for greener pastures


But never could forget


What he whispered when she left

I laugh, I love, I hope, I try


I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry


And I know you do the same things, too


So we're really not that different, me and you

"That may be Ron, but I'm still going to Bulgaria.  I'll owl you and Harry every so often, so don't worry." She said briskly and walked out the door.  And behind her she heard him whisper those words again "I laugh, I love, I hope, and I try.  I hurt, I need, I fear, and I cry." She was sick of being in England.  She wanted to travel.  So she went with Viktor.  And stayed for a year, before becoming restless again.  So she went to Greece, and then New York.  But each time she couldn't find what she was looking for.  And she kept thinking back to those words Ron had said, "I laugh, I love, I hope, and I try.  I hurt, I need, I fear, and I cry."  And she began to regret leaving more and more. 

Was it time or was it truth


Maybe both lead her back to his door


As her tears fell at his feet


She didn't say "I love you"


What she said meant even more



One day she got an owl from Harry, and the only words on it were:  Come home, we all miss you.  So she left for England that night, planning to go visit Harry first.  And once she reached England, she realized the only thing she knew she wanted to do, was to see Ron.  And so she went to his house.  And knocked on the door.  And there he was.  The same as always.  And Hermione began to cry.  He just stood and looked at her, amazed she was back.

I laugh, I love, I hope, I try


I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry


And I know you do the same things, too


So we're really not that different,

No we're really not that different, me and you

She lifted her head, and said to him certainly, "I laugh, I love, I hope, and I try.  I hurt, I need, I fear, and I cry.  Ron we're not that different.  And I love you,"  He looked at her a moment, and then wrapped her in a hug.  She lifted her head, and he wiped away her tears, and kissed her.  And then she heard a laugh, and they jumped apart.  It was Harry.

"I knew you'd come to your senses.

A/N:  Well, I don't know how I fell about this.  It didn't come out as well I had hoped, but it works.  Make sure you REVIEW so I know how you all feel about it!
