Escape
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters or Harry Potter unfortunately (I'd be much richer)…it belongs to J.K. Rowling
Authors Note: The song lyrics are my own, Hermione's thoughts, DH spoilers, please no flames, this is my first story
Hermione Granger came crashing into her bedroom one late October morning, falling onto her bed with a thump. She had just returned from another planning session with Harry and Ron. Sometimes all she wanted to do was scream in frustration. It felt as if Voldemort would never die. No, don't think that. We are so close! Just a little bit longer and we can move on to the next phase in defeating Voldemort. Between finding ways to destroy Voldemort and her job scoping out the ministry she was beyond stressed. Hermione let out a sigh as she thought of her many problems. She grabbed her iPod off her nightstand. Despite being a witch, she had to admit, muggle gadgets came in handy. She had yet to see a wizard come up with a more efficient way to play and hold music, videos and pictures. She put on the earphones and blasted the music…
"Too much on my mind
Thoughts I avoid
I hear the opening lines
Tense muscles relax
Erase all thought
Only beats and rhythm fill my head
Slowly losing myself to the clashing notes and crescendos
As the chorus plays I feel a rush of emotions
Lost in my own little world
An escape from wants, demands, and stress
Just what I needed
Like a breath of fresh air
Notes wash over me, refreshing and clean,
Wash away all my fears and sickness
My cure-all for my problems
Just give me what I need
That sweet sweet melody"
She sighed with contentment as she settled into her bed and let the music drift her to sleep, for she had another long day ahead of her tomorrow.
