Baby Can I Hold You
Harry packed the last piece of clothes he had, and then looked back at the dresses at Gryffindor boys' dormitory and made sure that he didn't forget anything. He sighed deeply and took a glance at every inch of the dorm; he is going to miss this place, his true home; it was relieving that McGonagall understood his will to fight alone after he unveiled the prophecy for her, she allowed him to come back at summer after he pass his apparition test to pick up his remaining belonging at his dorm. He took one last glance at his beloved dorm before turning around; surprisingly, he found Hermione standing at the door staring at him in reprimand.
"So, you have finally decided, haven't you?" she said in a sour tone, and he sighed heavily before replying with a question "How did you get in here, Hermione?"
"I felt that you would do something stupid like that, so I apparated at Hogsmeade" she answered gloomily "You didn't answer my question"
"Yes, I made up my mind" Harry said hastily "And I'm still going … Alone"
Hermione's angry looks broke down into sorrowful ones, and she spoke weakly "Why, Harry? We already told you that we will look after each other. That's what friends for"
"Yes, I know Hermione. But we're talking Voldemort. He will aim for my friends as the first move to wear me down. And I will not let him hurt you" he looked at her with a meaningful glance "Not you …"
"I'm sorry,"
It's all that you can say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
Like "sorry" (like "sorry"..like "sorry"..)
They exchanged a long meaningful glance, and tears began to form in Hermione's eyes "Harry, please. You won't take him down alone; we have to help you. I-I can't can bear the image of you being killed"
"It is my destiny, Hermione. Please understand" Harry said as he patted her shoulder trying to comfort her.
"Forgive me,"
is all that you can say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
Like "forgive me" ("forgive me"..."forgive me"..)
Forgive me..
"Harry, you don't understand. I-I cannot tolerate anything that can happen to you" Hermione said as she began to shake "I can't stand all the images after … After I …"
"After what, Hermione?" Harry asked in concern, and Hermione looked at him with watery eyes "I love you, Harry"
But you can say, baby
Baby can I hold you tonight?
Baby, if I told you the right words
oooh, at the right time
You'll be mine
Harry hugged her dearly, and her emotions break and she began to cry "Harry please, don't leave me; I love you with all my heart, please don't go"
Harry couldn't help but to feel pain surging into his heart "It's all right Hermione, I am so sure of winning this time" she looked at him in confusion, and he smiled at her "I love you too, Hermione"
I love you
is all that you can say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily (words don't come easily..)
Like "I love you", I love you..
A/N: Another day, another dollar … Err, I mean, another one-shot; I know this one is considered rubbish compared with the other story, but I still wanted to write it. Anyway, this is just a snack so you can endure the waiting until the next part, which will be posted soon enough.
PS: I'm sorry for forgetting to mention the song origion, it goes by the name "Baby Can I Hold You" performed by Boyzone.
Read & Review Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease.
