Goodbye To You
A/N: First off, this is my first Hermione/Draco fic so let me off easy. Well, it's my first Harry Potter PUBLISHED fic. I have others, but not published. This is by far my best one. I'm writing this when my boyfriend just broke up with me so I'm pouring my heart out. Also I'm putting a lot of myself into Hermione I think. Give me a break there. I need to give credit to two people: Michelle Branch, the extremely talented singer and guitarist who wrote Goodbye To You. I strongly recommend Spirit Room to all y'all. Finally, I don't own harry Potter or any of the related characters. I have to give that credit to that amazing talented, brilliantly amazing, and to make it short, exceptional author J.K. Rowling. Her work is a rare find in our midst. She is an inspiring woman, and if she ever reads this, thank you. Please review everyone!



~Of all the things I believed in, I just want to get it over with.~
~Tears form behind my eyes but I do not cry, counting the days that pass me bye.~
~I've been searching deep down in my soul, words that I'm hearing are starting to get old~ ~Feels like I'm starting all over again, the last three years, just pretend. ~
~And I said, goodbye to you. Good bye to everything that I knew. You were the one I loved. The one thing that I tried to hold on to. ~
~I used to get lost in your eyes ~
~And it seems that I can't feel the day without you. ~
~Closing my eyes and you'd chase my thoughts away to a place where I am blinded by the light, but it's not right~
~Goodbye to you. Goodbye to everything that I knew. You were the one I loved. The one thing I had tried to hold on to~
~You were the one~
~And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time~
~I want what's yours and I want what's mine~
~I want you but I'm not giving in this tune~

Fred, George, Ron, Ginny, Angelina, Alicia, Lee Jordan, Hermione, and Harry had taken a compartment to themselves on the way back to Hogwarts. All happily enjoying the ride. Well, almost all of them. Harry and Ginny were sitting at the back, talking quietly. Apparently, Harry had begun to find Ginny very attractive over the summer, and a very interesting person. They had started to spend a lot of time together.
Fred and George were planning a blow out end of the year joke. They were getting a lot of help from their friends. And Ron and Hermione were quietly arguing. Everyone else was oblivious. Thinking they were happily talking like themselves.
We shouldn't interfere! Hermione was arguing
But look at them Hermione. Their perfect for each other! Ron said motioning to Harry and Ginny
Come on Ron! It's none of our business. If they like each other, one of them will tell the other, eventually. We shouldn't be playing matchmaker. Well, not you at least, Hermione said quietly
Ron scowled at her. But she didn't notice as she was sitting down with Fred and George. Ron left the compartment shortly after. Hermione quietly as possible, followed. He was walking towards Lavender. He swooped down and kissed her. Hermione couldn't believe her eyes. But she had to admit, Ron had gotten good looking over the summer. No denying that. She tiptoed back to their compartment as the train gave a lurch. She fell backwards into Malfoy.
Sorry, Malfoy, she said quickly
Come on, he said
Beg your pardon? Hermione asked
Prefects compartment, he said
Oh, ok, she said
Hermione went with Malfoy and he led her to the front of the train. He opened a door for her that was marked: Prefects & Heads Only
She walked in to see Justin Finch-Fletchly, Padma Patil, Roger Davies, and Katie Bell. She assumed Roger and Katie were Head Boy and Head Girl.
Good, you're all here, Katie said standing up
Roger stood up and put his arm around her.
Due to certain circumstances, this year, we have a lot of work do. Planning and making our plans happen mostly. There is a huge work load so we put you in pairs. Here they are, oh, and sorry Hermione, Katie started
Hermione had no idea why she was apologizing.
Roger and me, Padma and Justin, and Hermione and Malfoy, Katie said
Hermione understood why Katie was apologizing now.
Now, Padma and Justin, you'll be planning a Halloween Ball. Me and Roger will take the Yule Ball. Hermione and Draco, the Valentines Day Ball. Nice little joke. Don't you think? Now, there is another thing. We're planning a field trip. 3 months. Going to 30 muggle places and 30 wizard places. That's why we'll have our own common room and dormitories. These groups will turn into bonds. I can guarantee it. I don't care what type they are as long as they get the work done. But I would really like for all of us to be on good terms. Just to make this year a lot easier. I must also tell you that if you choose to take these bonds' further, that is purely your own choice. And, we have the right to take someone off the prefect list. Don't put that choice in our hands. That's all, Katie said
Hermione sat down. Her mind was racing. She suddenly got a horrible head ache. She put her head in her hands. Padma came and sat down beside. Looking just as gloomy.
What's wrong? Padma asked
Nothing, just a head ache, Hermione replied
Can I talk to you? Padma asked
Hermione replied
Have you ever gotten you heart broken? Padma asked
Hermione tried to breathe as she remembered how she had felt. The pain. The tears. She thought she could never cry again after he broke her heart, she had cried so much. But the mere memory of him, of how she had felt about him brought tears. Tears she couldn't hold.
Hermione said
What happened? Did you get over it? Who? Padma asked
I had spent all my time getting his attention. He was my best friend. He understood me, but he didn't realize it, Hermione said crying
Then he liked another girl. He talked about her a few times. But tried to keep her a secret. So I worked even harder. I tried to comfort him. But he just didn't get it. I loved him so much. I never have gotten over him. I still cry at night knowing I can't have him. Knowing he doesn't love me. It makes me feel like all my work was wasted. He never noticed. He doesn't even know. Hermione said
At this she buried her face in her hands and was sobbing. Katie was listening too and they both hugged her. Katie whispered to Padma and she nodded.
We'll make sure he notices this year, Katie said
Then she spoke a few well chosen words and a screen came up and divide the compartment. Katie pointed a finger at the other side.
Over there, boys, Katie said
Then she went over to her bag and brought out a few things. They were all magical beauty products.
They worked on Hermione's hair and started to make it pin straight. They took out a bottle of straighter. Hermione was softly singing.
Of all the things I believed in, I just want to get it over with. Tears form behind my eyes but I do not cry, counting the days that pass me bye. I've been searching deep down in my soul, words that I'm hearing are starting to get old. Feels like I'm starting all over again, the last three years, just pretend. And I said, goodbye to you. Good bye to everything that I knew. You were the one I loved. The one thing that I tried to hold on to. I used to get lost in your eyes. And it seems that I can't feel the day without you. Closing my eyes and you'd chase my thoughts away to a place where I am blinded by the light, but it's not right. Good bye to you. Goodbye to everything that I knew. You were the one I loved. The one thing I had tried to hold on to. You were the one. And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time. I want what's yours and I want what's mine. I want you but I'm not giving in this tune. Goodbye to you. Goodbye to everything that I knew. You were the one I loved. The one thing I had tried to hold on to. Goodbye to you. Goodbye to everything that I knew. You were the one I loved. The one thing I had tried to hold on to. The one thing I had tried to hold on to. The one thing I had tried to hold on to. The one thing I had tried to hold on to. And when it starts falling, you'll lie awake. You're my shooting star, she quietly sang
Oh, is that about him? Katie quietly asked
Hermione nodded. They hugged her again.
He was your best friend? That is so sad, Padma said

A/N: Ok, lets just guess who it is that Hermione liked. Pretty obvious. I know. I'm extremely predictable. But don't worry, since none of us can stand for Hermione to be sad, someone will come and change her life! Thanks for reading. Reviews are great. So review. This was 1776 words! Yes! Finally, isn't amazing how popular Harry Potter is? How many people read it? I did a search for Harry Potter online and got over a million results! Also how does she do it? JK Rowling that is. She publishes this book that almost everyone who reads it loves and gets all this great feed back! Its not fair. I'll leave you with an afterthought:
How can some people amazingly brilliant and extremely stupid?
