This is just a random song-fic about how Hermione is feeling when Ron has to leave for Auror training. I picture this story taking place about a year after they are married. This story is written from Hermione's point of view. The lyrics to this song, Sleeping With The Telephone, are taken from the "Reba Duets" CD. I did change a few words here and there…just to make the song make more sense. I do not own the song or Harry Potter. [Sob I own nothing!
I
knew who he was
When I took his name
But somehow knowing
Is
just not the same late at night
Every night, just after the sun sets, I wander around our big empty house and I think of Ron. I love him more than life itself, but I miss him so much that it is hard to bear. I know he had to leave so he could get this job, but sometimes I just can't help but wonder why he couldn't have chosen something else, why did he have to choose the career path that involved leaving me?
He
knows the danger
But he does what he does
He calls it duty
But
I call it love
So here I am
While he's gone
To some
foreign land
It terrifies me that he might not come home. I want to be with him for the rest of my life. I want to have his children someday. Our relationship has just begun and I can't let it fall to pieces around me. He is so brave to risk his life for the sake of others and I am selfish because I want to keep him all to myself.
And
I cry
'Cause I'm all alone
And the nights get so cold and
long
And I try not to think he won't come home
But I'm
sleeping with the felly-tone
Every
night when I get into our big, empty bed, I look at the picture of
you that I keep on my nightstand. We seem so happy in the picture,
it's on our wedding day. I wonder…if we had known you'd be
leaving again, if we'd have been so happy… The
Auror's ribbon on my neighbor's gate
Always reminds me that
someone's awake
Just like me
Everyone is so kind to me now. They all claim to know what I'm going through. Not a single one of them understands it though. I don't miss him because he was always there to protect me, I miss him because I love him.
I
hear the warnings
And I watch the news
He laughs and leaves
with his wand
And his blue uniform
And I pray God keeps him
safe from harm
Before he left, he held me close and told me he'd be back soon. He said he would only be away for six months. If only he knew how long that was. If only he knew that he would be coming home to his pregnant wife. I never told him I was pregnant. He doesn't know that I'm carrying his baby. He promised that he'd stay safe and out of harm's way. I don't know what I'd do if I lost him. I wouldn't cry…I would die.
And
I cry
'Cause I'm all alone
And the nights get so cold and
long
And I try not to think he won't come home
But I'm
sleeping with the felly-tone
Four months left…
I grew accustomed to waking up with his loving arms around me. Waking up with my head buried in his chest. Merlin…I miss that. I need him here, to kiss me and take care of me and to love me unconditionally.
I
loose him in my darkest dreams
And my blood runs cold and my heart
skips a beat
So I get up; I can't take anymore
Sometimes I
hate how much I love him
But everyday I love him more
One month left…
I
went to the healer a few days ago. The baby is healthy…a healthy
little girl. I only have one more month to wait. Just thirty little
days and I'll have my husband back…my little girl's daddy. And
I try not to think he won't come home
But I'm sleeping with
the felly-tone
Only a week left…
I
can't wait to see him. My anticipation is at an all time
high! Something awakes me from
where he should be
I reach for him; the telephone rings.
It's him on the phone. I excitedly ask him where he is. He asks me to turn around…
I glance over my shoulder and get up as quickly as I can…after all, I am six months pregnant. All I can say is "I love you, Ron. You're home!". His eyes widen when he sees me. "A baby?" he asks. I just put my arms around him as he pulls me close. I close my eyes and kiss him. It is the sweetest thing in the world, like a breath of air after being underwater for a bit too long. "I love you, Ron, and I would like you to meet your daughter!"
So, whatcha think? PLEASE REVIEW!!! Just press that little button! I've never written a song-fic before, so please tell me how I did. As always, ideas are appreciated! Thanks!
