A/N:I had a need to write this. It's a songfic of if the trio somehow managed to graduate and what would be going on. It takes place in the last few weeks of school. Voldemort is dead and all is right with the world once again. I used "Graduation (Friends Forever)" by Vitamin C. It's in Hermione's POV, I just figured it was easiest and the most fun. I'm an '07 grad, and needed to write this. This is dedicated to my friends, may we be friends forever. Okay, so disclaimer, then story.
Disclaimer: I do not own the song nor do I own Harry Potter. As much as I wish I did, I don't.
Graduation
And
so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're
gonna be when we turn 25
I sat on the floor in front of the couch. Ron and Harry were behind me on each side of the couch. Ginny had already gone up to bed. In fact, everyone else had.
"I'm gonna try and get a job at Flourish and Blotts." I informed them and I continued to watch the fire. We just looked at the fire as they talked. It was almost as if looking at each other was one of the most painful things in the world.
"I'll probably work with Fred and George at their shop." Was Ron's only response. It was followed by Harry's.
"I'm looking into Quality Qudditch Supplies."
"Ron, do you think we'll still be together 10 years from now?"
"I don't know." Came the earnest response from Hermione's boyfriend.
"Probably, I hope Ginny and I'll still be together."
I
keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will
always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming
back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
I sat under a tree looking out at the lake. I was was horrified of what was to come. Facing Voldemort would be easier than this, than saying goodbye. I didn't want to say goodbye. I'd been having to say it too much lately. I barely noticed the tears that ran down my face. When Ron sat and held me, I just fell into him and laid there; I didn't want to move, I couldn't move.
And
if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right
now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we
can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without
sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
Ron and I were out on a walk. I found it odd, but comforting. All of a sudden Ron pulled me into a kiss. When we pulled apart he spoke.
"Hermione, I want us to still be together in 10 years. 15 years. 20. Forever." He then got down on one knee. My hands flew to my mouth as he reached into his pocket.
"I want you to be mine forever. 'Mione, will you marry me?" He opened the box to show a gorgeous ring. I stared at him as it started to set in. I slowly nodded. "Yes Ronald, yes." Was all I could get out.
I
didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me
and you
And then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the
telephone
We would get so excited and we'd get so scared
Laughing
at ourselves thinking life's not fair
Late at night Ginny and I talked about this summer and when she would go back to school. She despised the fact that she was a year behind us. She told of how she would get a cel phone so that we could talk. During our talks we would laugh while we dreamed of the ridiculous possibilities of the future. We would also cry while we thought about being so apart. We agreed on one thing, it would not be easy, but then, what was?
As we go on
And
this is how it feels
We remember
All the
times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come
Whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever
Harry and I sat together talking of the past, the present, and the future. "We'll be friends forever, right?" I asked.
"yeah, forever."
So
if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look
back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember
everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every
single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can
Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
Ginny and I sat and dreamed about the others' futures and what could be in our own. I couldn't help but wonder what it would be like.
I
keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's
a time to fly
And this is how it feels
I always find myself sitting at awe of the future and how it seems to pass in a blink of an eye. I couldn't seem to get any work done lately, I was to busy thinking.
As
we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as
our lives change
Come Whatever
We will still be
Friends
Forever
"Friends forever, right Gin?"
"That's my plan."
La,
la, la, la:
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la:
We will still
be friends forever
I knew it then. I knew we would be friends forever. They'd been my friends for so long that it was only right for us to be lifelong friends.
Will
we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it
out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this
would never end
And
suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow
that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave
this town?
The day of graduation came. It came all too soon. I was ready though. I was ready to embrace what was to come. I was ready to embrace my future. I didn't know what it would be, but I knew that my friends and fiancée would be by my side.
I
keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's
a time to fly
We were all in line ready to receive our diplomas.
As
we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as
our lives change
Come Whatever
We will still be
Friends
Forever
"Hermione Jane Granger."
As
we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as
our lives change
Come Whatever
We will still be
Friends
Forever
"Ronald Bilius Weasley."
As
we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as
our lives change
Come Whatever
We will still be
Friends
Forever
"Harry James Potter."
