A boy with messy jet-black hair and emerald green eyes was seen walking around the black lake; this was none other than Harry Potter himself contemplating on the war's turning events. Unknown to him, a young woman with bushy brown hair was walking up to him. She grabbed his arm cautiously as if not wanting to disrupt his train of thoughts. He smiled at her though his smile never reached his eyes.
There
goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's
ordinary
He tilted his head, asking her without words to walk with him. She agreed. "I think I'd like to go back to Godric's Hollow after this… if I'd make it." Harry said bitterly. "After all that's where it all started."
"Harry! Don't insinuate that you will die! I-iii d-don't know what I will do if that were to happen." She muttered. He glared at her, "Hermione, you've got to face it. No matter what happens it all goes down to me. If it weren't for my cowardice, Sirius and Dumbledore would've been alive! I had to be the selfless bastard that everyone wants to see, they expect me to save them when even I don't know what will happen to me." He turned away from her, his eyes stinging. He was afraid, angry, hurt, and at the same time determined to face of what is ahead of him.
"I'm sorry Harry. It's just so infuriating that we have to always check on our backs because of V-Voldemort!" Hermione exclaimed.
Don't
the best of them
Bleed it out
While
the rest of them
Peter out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
And use that evidence, and race it around
"It's because we're the Golden Trio & I'm the Boy-Who-Bloody-Lived." He said laughing humorlessly. "I'm sorry." She murmurs quietly nut audible enough for him to hear. "Why? You haven't done a thing to me." States Harry, looking at her. She shook her head, silent tears spilling down on her porcelain-like cheeks. "Yes I have. I was one of those trecherous people who expects so much from you even though I knew from the beginning that you are just like me. But now listening to you I don't see the Hero they see but 'Just Harry'." She smiled at that thought still crying.
There
goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero

ordinary
Kudos my hero
Leaving all the place
You know my
hero
The one thats on
"But
that's it isn't it, I was never 'Just Harry'. To them it is
some crap about me being some hero. And besides Hermione, for once
you're wrong. You aren't one of those people; in fact aside from
Ron, the Weasley's and the Order members, you are the only one who
sees me as me. And aside from that I don't blame you. All of us
expect a lot from other people as well like me for example. I expect
you to know all the bloody answer to every friggin' question there
is but I know that you don't. Because you're human just like me."
He said a hint of a smile visible in his features. They lapsed into a
comfortable silence. "Don't do this, please Harry!" Hermione
begged once more dirupting the peace that has surrounded them. "I-I
can't." he replied distractedly. "You don't understand I have
to do this for myself to protect you.
And the others" he added feebly. He quickly turned around and left
her basking in the shadows of the willow tree near the castle.
There

Watch him as he goes
There
goes my hero
He's ordinary
There goes my hero
Watch him
as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
Later that night unknown to many, including Harry himself, Hermione was the last person to see him go to the Forbidden Forest before the huge fight broke ending so many lives. Her eyes followed his retreating back whispering the words, "I love you. My Hero." Before she broke down into sobs.
