I heard this song on the radio, and I suddenly thought of how I could make it into a songfic w/HP. This is it. I guess.
Hey
you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you
feel me?
Harry sat at the window. There was frost there, fuzzing
the image a little, making it look like the perfect winter
celebration. It was just cold. Voldemort, at last, had fallen, 3
months ago. Now, for the first time ever, he could live on his own,
with no worries about Voldemort and his followers. He could do as he
pleased and not be followed by an order member. But his life was
empty and cold. There was noone. Ron and Hermione were left, true,
but they hadn't gone through what he had. It was difficult for him
to relate, now.
Hey
you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can
you feel me?
He had been best man for their wedding 1 month ago.
He had felt invisible. Standing there, people didn't see him. They
saw the hero who had saved their lives. Even Ron and Hermione were
affected by this crazed hero worshipping. He didn't know where to
turn. He could feel one pair of eyes, watching him, understanding.
Hey
you, don't help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a
fight.
She had come up to him that day. Those eyes, they had born
through him, straight to the soul. She knew what he had been feeling.
Suffocation, he supposed, was a good word for it. She had told him
not to give up. To give up was to let the dark within win. She had
told him that he could talk to her.
Hey
you, out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would
you touch me?
Today he was sitting there, foolishly waiting for
her owl. He had asked her to come stay with him today. He was feeling
especially lonely. Every time he owled her, he awaited her response
with the same feeling every time. Anticipation. It truly was the only
thing that kept him sane and in this world.
Hey
you, with you ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
She was the only one who saw him and talked to him. Not the silly people who just talked to him so that they could say they had talked to the famous Harry Potter. They didn't ask him how he was feeling. They assumed he was on top of the world. After all, he had defeated Voldemort, taken away his essence. No one saw that he was depressed, unhappy, no one but her.
Hey
you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm
coming home.
She had reached out to him. And he loved her for it. She had asked him nothing. She had given him so much, and not expected a thing in return. She had gotten him to stop thinking about the past and to look to the future. He just hoped that she would be there, in the future. He didn't think he could live without her.
But
it was only fantasy.
The wall was too high,
As you can see.
Of course she wouldn't. What was he thinking? She loved another. She wouldn't allow him to be in her life, like that. She couldn't see that he needed her, like he had never needed another. Maybe she could, and she just didn't care, he thought to himself, bitterly.
No
matter how he tried,
He could not break free.
And the worms
ate into his brain.
As the doubts filled his mind, he didn't see the moving object in the sky, it fluttering and rolling in the gusts of wind. He turned away. His lips curved into a sneer.
Hey
you, standing in the road
always doing what you're told,
Can
you help me?
Hey
you, out there beyond the wall,
Breaking bottles in the hall,
Can
you help me?
The
pecking at the window startled him. He saw Hedwig out there, waiting
impatiently to be let in. Inside, she stuck out her leg to give him
the letter. As he read it, his eyes went wide. She loved him too.
But, she insisted that he must give up moping and grieving, and face
the world, a new person. She would help him. He just couldn't be
depressed anymore. Grinning, he wrote back to her. He asked her to
come visit him soon. Maybe he would visit Hermione and Ron today.
Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we
stand, divided we fall.
