I love you, goodbye…

Based on the song 'I love you, goodbye' by Celine Dion.

A/N  Thank you SO much to all of you who reviewed. Again, I love you all SO much, and I'm really grateful to you. I've never got so much response before!

Oh, and Tomolay: I'll think about writing a sequel, because I seemed to make all of you lot cry! I cried myself when I wrote it, so I don't blame you.

Oh, and if you want to get the music to this and you have MSN, just instant message cloud_star_bright@msn.com, and I can send it to you. You also need Windows for this.

I'm also updating with a sequel, which will be a LOT longer, I'm aiming at about 20 chapters. It has a VERY surprising twist, as well as a bit more info about the 'little tower in the glade'.

Wish I could be the one,

The one who could give you love,

The kind of love you really need,

Wish I could say to you,

That I'll always stay with you,

But baby that's not me,

You need someone willing to give their

Heart and soul to you

Promise you forever, baby that's

Something I can't do

Oh I could say that I'll be all you need,

But that would be a lie,

I know I'd only hurt you

I know I'd only make you cry,

I'm not the one you're needing,

I love you, goodbye…

I hope someday you can

Find some way to understand I'm only

Doing this for you,

I don't really wanna go,

But deep in my heart I know this is

The kindest thing to do,

You'll find someone who'll be the one

That I could never be,

Who'll give you something better

Than the love you'll find with me,

Oh I could say that I'll be all you need,

But that would be a crime,

I know I'd only hurt you

I know I'd only make you cry,

I'm not the one you're needing,

I love you, goodbye…

Leaving someone when you

Love someone

Is the hardest thing to do

When you love someone as much as I love you

Oh I don't wanna leave you

Baby it tears me up inside

But I'll never be the one you're needing,

I love you, goodbye…

*Flashback*

"No, Patrick! NO!!!" Screamed the woman as her husband advanced on her. "PLEASE!!!" But it was too late. A crack, a gush of blood, and then nothing. Patrick stormed out of the room, not noticing a little girl sat huddled up in the corner, crying.

*End Flashback*

Hermione sighed. Fed up with her life, her house, herself, her father who beat her, her father who had killed her mother- She'd made a decision.  No matter how hard it was, she had to do it. Imagine how happy Ron will be, she thought bitterly. No Hermione to nag at him for not doing his homework now, eh? But Harry- Oh Harry. Couldn't he see that she loved him? But he'd probably say that she was just joking, and ignore her. That was it for Hermione. She just couldn't take it anymore. She burst into tears. Quickly she scribbled a note onto a piece of parchment.

' Dear Harry,

Sorry for letting you down. I just couldn't take it anymore. I just want you to know that I love you with all my heart. And not just as a friend. I just want to you to know that I did this for you… Goodbye forever, Harry.

Love you with all my heart,

Hermione Grace Granger'

"Goodbye, Ron! Goodbye Harry…" she wept. And lifted the knife. There was a scream, and then… nothing. Complete silence.

               Harry and Ron heard a voice saying goodbye, and then a scream. They raced up the stairs to the girl's dormitories, regardless of the fact that they were not girls, and banged the door down. They stared at the sight in horrified silence. Hermione lay on the floor, motionless. Harry ran to her. Ron looked on as the look on his friend's face changed from one of shock to horror.

" Harry, mate, are you alright?" Ron asked, concerned for his friend.

"S-she's dead…" Harry stammered.

Ron's face turned white. "Are you sure?"

Then Harry found the note on her bed. He read it, and after a pause, said bravely, "Certain."

Ron looked as if he was trying hard not to cry. "Go and get Madame Pomfrey." Harry said to him.

Alone with Hermione, he broke down. Sobbing, he whispered, "Hermione, I do love you!" Then, quieter, "I was going to propose at graduation…"

A few hours later, it was confirmed. Hermione Grace Granger, resident know-it-all of Hogwarts, was dead.

I know I'd only hurt you,

I know I'd only make you cry,

I'm not the one you're needing,

I love you, goodbye…
