Disclaimer: I own nothing Harry Potter related nor do I own anything related to the song used.
This is my first attempt at a SongFic. I will appreciate all constructive tips! R&R!!
The song is Lips of an Angel by Hinder.
Lips of an Angel
Ring.
Ron jumped from the couch he was sharing with his wife to answer his cell phone. "Hello?"
Honey why you calling me so late
There was a pause broken by nervous laughter. "Ron?" Hermione whispered into her cell phone. "Can you talk?" Her voice cracked.
It's kinda hard to talk right now
Ron hesitated before answering. "Only for a minute. I was in the middle of something."
Honey why you crying is everything okay
He heard a small whimper. "Are you ok?"
I gotta whisper cause I can't be too loud
"Is it Lavender? Is she home?" Hermione's voice was frigid.
Well, my girl's in the next room
Ron, surprised at her tone, responded, "Yeah. We were discussing the preparations for Gina going to Hogwart's in the fall."
Sometimes I wish she was you
Neither spoke as his words reminded them why they weren't together. Ron's attempt to get back at Hermione their sixth year ended up with him becoming a father and husband before the war even began.
I guess we never really moved on
Hermione took a deep breath. "I… I didn't realize she would be starting so soon. Congratulations Ron."
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
Ron blushed at the sound of his given name. "I'm sorry."
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
and I,
never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
Hermione cried softly into the phone. "Neither of us planned our lives to be this way. It's not your fault Ron."
It's funny that you're calling me tonight
"But if I hadn't… You know…" Ron gulped. "I still miss you. I dreamt about you last night."
And yes I dreamt of you too
Hermione's crying could not be heard, but tears were still running down her cheeks. "Me too." She whispered into the phone.
And does he know you're talking to me will it start a fight
"Does Harry know you called me? Is everything ok?"
No, I don't think she has a clue
"No, he… he's passed out in the bedroom… The reunion was just too much for him…" Hermione broke off, trying to hold back her sobs.
Well my girl's in the next room
"Lavender is still in the living room, but she's calling my name now." Ron sounded nervous.
Sometimes I wish she was you
When Hermione didn't respond, Ron whispered, "I wish she was you. I wish Gina was yours."
I guess we never really moved on
"We should have moved on by now. Gods Ron, it's been ten years." Hermione couldn't hold back now, she was sobbing as softly as she could.
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
"Hermione?" Ron heard her gasp when he spoke her name. "Please don't cry."
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
and I,
never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
Trying to catch her breath, Hermione attempted to speak. "Ron… please… please say my name again…"
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
"Hermione." As he spoke her name, she it invoked the memory of their unspoken promises. The promises they both broke. It left her with a sweet, melancholy feeling.
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
let her die,
never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
(let it die,I never wanna say goodbye)
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
Lavender was now insisting Ron join her in the living room. Ron spoke quickly and quietly. "I really should go. But first… Why did you call me after all these years?"
Honey why you calling me so late
Hermione's voice was deadly calm as she spoke. "You know Ron… you and I, we loved each other once… Harry loved Ginny before the Death Eaters killed her… I… I just wanted to remember… remember what is was like to be loved."
