Chapter 1
The Call
When you called me up this morning,
Told me 'bout the new love you've found
Said I was happy for you
I really was happy for you
Harry Potter was eating breakfast when the phone rang.
"Hello"
"Harry! Guess what!"
"Hey Mione! What?"
"I met this guy named Kevin. He's really nice and he's taking me out to dinner tonight."
Harry's heart sank. Nevertheless, he tried to sound happy for his friend, the girl he loved.
"That's great Mione! I'm happy for you"
"Thanks Harry! Well I got to go. I still have to go to work. Bye!"
"Bye"
Found someone elseI guess I won't be coming 'round
I guess it's over babe,
It's really over babe
From what you said I guess you've gotten over me
Things won't be the way they used to be
Harry went over to the Burrow. Mrs. Weasley greeted him with a bone-crushing hug.
"Harry!"
"Hi Mrs. Weasley!"
"I heard what happened. I'm sorry"
"It's okay. I guess we weren't meant for each other"
"Well, the boys are in the living room. I'm going to make dinner"
She left him and he went to the living room. He saw Ron with his girlfriend, Lavender, Fred with Angelina, George with Katie Bell, Percy with Penelope, Charlie with Diane, Bill with Fleur and Ginny with Colin. He felt uncomfortable being the only one with out a partner. He was about to leave when Fred noticed him standing by the door.
"Ei Harry! What are you doing standing there? Come and join us!"
He had no choice but to go in. He sat down between Angelina and Ron. Angelina gave him a hug.
"How are you holding up?"
"I'm fine"
"We heard what happened?"
"I guess we just weren't meant for each other"
They started chatting when Ginny suddenly asked.
"I wonder what's taking Mione so long to get here"
As soon as the words left her mouth she regretted them. Everyone turned to look at Harry. Then George spoke up.
"Maybe she was just running late"
Ron shrugged.
"Maybe, but knowing Mione, she's always the punctual one."
Just then Mrs. Weasley came in to announce that dinner was ready. They all headed towards the dining room. Ron turned to Harry.
"Here Harry, you could sit next to me"
Harry sat down on the chair beside Ron and apparently next to Mr. Weasley, who greeted him with a smile.
"Hello Harry!"
"Hi Mr. Weasley, how's the Ministry?"
"It's quite all right. Harry could you explain what a computer is?"
Harry smiled and started explaining. Pretty soon he and Mr. Weasley were engaged in a conversation about Muggles. Then Ron asked.
"Where's Mione?"
Mrs. Weasley answered him.
"She owled me earlier that she couldn't come"
"Why?"
"She said she had some matters to do"
Everyone was silent. It wasn't like Mione to skip out a dinner with friends. It wasn't like her at all.
The rest of the dinner was quiet. After dinner, Harry stood up and helped Mrs. Weasley clear out the table. Then he joined the boys in a talk about quiditch. Around ten, he said goodbye and left.
If things just got to be this wayPlease tell me babe I can take a look away.
Harry went to work the next day. He, together with Ron and Hermione were aurors. He was just passing down the corridor when he passed a room whose door was opened. He caught a glimpse of Hermione and a guy snogging. He walked away with tears in his eyes.
If you see me walking byWith the tears are in my eyes
Look away, Babe look away
It was lunch break, but Harry hadn't forgotten what he saw that morning. He went to Hogsmeade to walk around and have his mind off things. He was walking down the path he and Mione used to pass and he remembered all the times they spent together. He felt tears come to his eyes. He continued walking when he saw two figures seated on a bench. It was Mione and her boyfriend. They were laughing. He couldn't help but look at them He caught her eye and for a second they gazed at each other. She was the first one to pull away. Harry shook his head sadly and left.
If we meet on the street somedayAnd I don't know what to say
Look away, Babe look away
Don't look at me I don't want you to see me this way.
It was Saturday and Harry went to Hogsmeade. He was walking down Dragon Boulevard (I just made up the name so please don't sue me) and window-shopping. Snow was everywhere and snowflakes were falling. The sidewalk was so crowded that it was difficult to move around. Suddenly he bumped into someone.
"I'm sor- "
He stopped short when he saw whom he bumped into.
"Mione!"
"Hi Harry!"
There was an awkward silence between them. After a few minutes, Harry slipped away without a word.
