So Alive
And
when we get home, I know we won't be home at all
This place we
live, it is not where we belong
And I miss who we were in the town
that we could call our own
Going back to get away after everything
has changed
Hermione Granger looked over the ruins of the little town of Hogsmeade. This used to be where she called home, all she knew was it definitely wasn't home. It made her sick to go to the same place where the Death Eaters had destroyed so many lives.
The war was still raging on strong. Many families had left the country, because of the threat, though many others had decided to stay and fight. Harry seldom spoke, Ron seldom ate and Hermione seldom.
'Could
you remind me of a time when we were so alive
(Everything has
changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
(Everything
has changed)
'Could you help me push aside all that I have left
behind
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you
remember that?
'Do you remember when we first came to Hogsmeade?' Ron was asking Harry and Hermione.
'I remember.' Harry said slowly. 'I snuck through Honeydukes with the invisibility cloak.'
The three all remembered the first time they had seen the dainty village, covered in snow, they had fallen in love.
So
we stand here now and no one knows us at all
I won't get used to
this
I won't get used to being gone
And going back won't feel
the same if we aren't staying
Going back to get away after
everything has changed
'You know one thing I will never get used to?' Hermione said.
'What's that?' Ron asked.
'People walking past us and not recognizing us at all. I won't get used to the real me being gone. And being here won't feel the same if we're not staying.' Hermione sighed and looked Harry and Ron up and down.
For their protection, permanent glamour charms had been cast by Filtwick.
Ron now had deep brown hair, and had gotten rid of his freckles. His skin was a couple of skin shades warmer. His eyes were now hazel, his nose bigger and his mouth smaller. He was several inches shorter.
Harry was now Asian, with brown hair, brown eyes and dark skin. He was several inches taller.
Hermione had undergone the biggest change of all. Her once peaches-and-cream skin was now a smooth olive. Her once frizzy, mousy brown hair was now bright auburn with blue streaks. Her amber eyes remained the same, but she was four inches shorter.
'Could
you remind me of a time when we were so alive
(Everything has
changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
(Everything
has changed)
'Could you help me push aside all that I have left
behind
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you
remember that?
'Could you remind me of a time when we were so alive?' Harry asked Ron and Hermione.
Ron stayed silent. Hermione sighed.
'I'll get back to you on that one Harry.' She said
Later That Day
'Thank you New York!' Hermione screamed down the microphone. Harry quickly switched his electric guitar for an acoustic.
'We have one more song for you tonight. We are playing this acoustic. No offence Jay!' She called out to the bass player who was walking backstage.
'None taken!' He called back.
'3, 2, 1.' With some gentle strums of his guitar, Harry began the song.
Hermione took a deep breath and began the song.
Taking
up our time
Taking up our time
Taking up our time
It's
taking up our time
go back, we can't go back at all
It's
taking up our time
go back, we can't go back at all
It's
taking up our time
go back, we can't go back at all
It's taking
up our time, taking up our time
The emotions Hermione sung about brought tears to the audience's eyes. The concert hall was filled with a deafening silence. Harry's rough voice joined Hermione's for the chorus.
'Cause
you remind me of a time when we were so alive
do you remember
that? Do you remember that?
The last two lines were sung as softly as they could get them out, and the deafening silence was now a blinding roar as the concert hall was filled with applause.
As, later on, the audience was filing out, Hermione and Harry were sitting down with a bottle of water each.
'Harry,' Hermione said.
Harry looked at her in reply.
'In answer to your question; no, I can't.'
