Take My Breath Away

Disclaimer: yada yada yada.

A/N- Songfic. It's letters between Harry and Hermione, then just story. The bit that doesn't begin with "Dear whoever" Hermione starts off. She's had a crush on Harry for years, and needs to get it out. Where'd I get the idea? Autobiographical, except we didn't end up together as Harry and Hermione do. Enjoy!



Dear Harry,

There's something I have to tell you. I don't know what your reaction will be. You may be thrilled, you may not give a damn, you may be disgusted. I don't know. But this involves you. It's been the same all the time I've known you. But recently it's become so strong, I can't hide it any longer.

Harry, I'm in love with you. You've always had my heart, and you will have it for the rest of our lives. I know this may wreck our friendship, and I'm terrified. You mean more to me than anything else ever has. Our friendship has always been pure, trusting and strong. If I lose you, I'll always regret it. If I don't, I'll never. Goodbye.

Love always,

Hermione. xoxo

If I told you how I feel about you

Would you say the same?

And if I wrote it in a letter

Would you keep it

Or throw it away?

I never thought I'd feel the way,

I'm feeling lately

When everything you seem to do

Just drives me crazy



Dear Hermione,

Oh. My. God. Oh. My. God. Oh. My. God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is this a dream? Am I about to wake up and realise this isn't real? I ask these questions, yet I know in my heart it's real. I love you too, Hermione. From the moment I first saw you, I knew how special you were. You've just gotten better. All the love I was denied as a child, not having anyone to love or to love me. It's all changed. I found someone to love as soon as I laid eyes on you, and I realised someone loved me as soon as I read your letter. Have you ever cried with happiness? I hadn't before, but knowing you loved me I did. Hope you didn't notice me staring at you last night. Ron says I looked like I was about to drool. The git. Please reply to this letter- these things are too hard to say out loud. I do love you.

Love, Harry. xxxoooxxxooo



Every waking day

You take my breath away

With every word you say

You take my breath away

You look at me that way

Baby come what may

I hope that you'll always know

How you take my breath away

How you take my breath away



Dear Harry,

Never say I love you if you really don't care

Never talk of feelings if they really aren't there

Never hold my hand if you plan to break my heart

Never say you will if you never plan to start

Never look into my eyes if all you do is lie

Never say hi if you really mean goodbye

If you really mean forever, then say that you will try.

Love, Hermione.

If you told me

How you feel about me

Things I did not know

If you said you fill my heart

With all your love

Until it overflows

I don't know the way you feel

But boy I'm hoping

I always used to hide away

But now I'm open

Dear Hermione,

Of course I care. That was a great poem, where'd you learn it?

"I love the way you walk

I love the way you talk

I love the way you stand by me

I love the way you've set my emotions free.

I love the way you hold my hand

And make everything bad melt away.

I love the way you stay by my side

You're always there, and my time I never have to bide

Most of all, I just love you."

Love always, Harry.

Every waking day

You take my breath away

With every word you say

You take my breath away

You look at me that way

Baby come what may

I hope that you'll always know

How you take my breath away

How you take my breath away



It was time. I crept down to the common room. It was dark but clear outside. I saw Harry and whispered, "Come with me." He took my hand and we walked outside. Words poured out of both of us in a jumble. We laughed, and I said softly, almost whispering, "Harry?"

He looked at me, puzzlement in those green eyes. I said even softer, "I love you." Before he could reply, I leant over and kissed him on the lips.

Suddenly, everything disappeared. There was just Harry and I. No one else. Nothing else. Just two people who loved each other. And one was me. So lucky. So lucky to have found this happiness. I wanted to stay like this forever. But all good tings must come to an end, and we drew away after three full minutes. We then returned to the common room, happy, thrilled and hyper. We parted with anther quick kiss and then went back to our dorms.

THE END.



A/N- I know it's crap. I'm getting back to writing and this is just an experiment. Review!
