This story was written for the 40 songs challenge.

My song was "It's not over" by Daughtry.

This is my first Ron/Hermione fic, also my first in the way it's written.

Hope it's okay, rate, review, all that shizzle.

DISCLAIMER: I do not, nor will I even, own the magical world of Harry Potter.


"It's Not Over"


I was blown away.

Deep Breaths, Ron, deep breaths.

What could I say?

Your mind was blank, as you stared at her from across the room.

It all seemed to make sense.

She was beautiful, everything you had ever dreamed about.

You've taken away everything,

Her deep, brown, curly mass of hair.

And I can't deal with that.

The way she slide her hazel depths over you.

I try to see the good in life,

It killed you, knowing that she thought of you as nothing but a friend.

But good things in life are hard to find.

You both had a hard, mad rush of passion throughout the last battle.

We'll blow it away, blow it away.

But either she had forgotten or thought nothing of it.

Can we make this something good?

But you couldn't give up now. Not after being so close.

Well, I'll try to do it right this time around.

You would make it right, make sure she never exactly how you felt.

Let's start over.

You had a plan. You'd start from the very start.

I'll try to do it right this time around.

You'd start by wooing her, using what you labelled 'The Book of God' to help you.

It's not over.

You'd use any method possible to get her to love you the way that you loved her.

'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.

She would have to know how much it was hurting you not being together.

This love is killing me,

She would have to appreciate the effort that you put into stealing her heart.

But you're the only one.

She was all you could think about, and she would know that to.

It's not over.

Only, you didn't know how to tell her.

Taken all I could take,

You were never as brave as harry.

And I cannot wait.

As funny as Fred and George.

We're wasting too much time

As strong willed as Ginny.

Being strong, holding on.

As smart as Percy.

Can't let it bring us down.

You didn't know how you could tell her.

My life with you means everything,

But you had to try.

So I won't give up that easily.

Thoughts clouded you head as you though back on the previous years of liking her.

I'll blow it away, blow it away.

Your first taste of her beauty, the Yule Ball.

Can we make this something good?

And then the jealously that surged when you saw her with Vicky.

'Cause it's all misunderstood.

The lustful glances that McLaggen was given her drove you crazy.

Well, I'll try to do it right this time around.

You worried that she would choose him, instead.

Let's start over.

So you did the one thing that made you feel just a little better.

I'll try to do it right this time around.

You dated Lavender Brown.

It's not over.

You were trying to make her jealous.

'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.

Instead it just seemed to make her angry.

This love is killing me,

This was around the time that you had almost given up hope.

But you're the only one.

But your hope came back, as well as a new surge of determination, that you gained over the summer of seventh year.

It's not over.

But then the horcruxes came. The locket.

We can't let this get away.

It addressed your worst fears, what if, over the time you had disappeared from your friends' life, she had fallen for Harry.

Let it out, let it out.

Your best mate and you love together, it drove you crazy.

Don't get caught up in yourself.

But the worst time, the time you were certain you would lose her.

Let it out.

Was when you let Bellatrix Lestrange get her clutches on her.

Let's start over.

You could hear he screams, hear them echoing down the cold stairs of the dungeons.

I'll try to do it right this time around.

But you couldn't help her.

It's not over.

And it killed you.

'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.

You shook your head, clearing it of thoughts of her screams.

This love is killing me,

Right now, it was time to put the past behind.

But you're the only one.

Move on, face the future

It's not over.

You stepped towards her, just one step closer, you eyes wide with fear.

Let's start over.

She glanced but at you and smile hugely.

It's not over, yeah...

Gesturing for you to join her on the couch.

This love is killing me,

And just like that, your fears were gone, blown away by her smile.

But you're the only one.

You smiled back at her, taking a seat and grabbing her hand delicately.

It's not over.

"Hermione, I have something to tell you . . ."
