Chapter 2
You don't remember me
But I remember you
I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you
But who can decide what they dream
And dream I do
Chorus
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you
To live
To breathe
You're taking over me
Have you forgotten all I know
And all we have
You saw me mourning my love for you
And touched my hand…
I knew you loved me then
As Hermione sang, Harry was deeply touched by the lyrics and memories came flashing back through his mind…
Flashback
It was their sixth year and Harry and Ginny had just come back to the common room after a walk around the lake. The common room was empty except for Hermione; she was sitting in front of the fire with a book hiding her face.
"I'm going to bed," Ginny said giving Harry a kiss goodnight and ascending the staircase to the girl's dormitory.
After she disappeared through the door, Harry walked over and sat down next to Hermione. They sat in silence for a few minutes before he heard her sigh heavily. She lowered the book and turned away from him, standing she whispered, "goodnight."
Just as she was about to walk away Harry asked, "What's wrong Hermione?"
"Nothing"
"Something is wrong; you sound as though you want to cry."
Hermione turned to face him and he could see the tears in her eyes.
"It's nothing"
"'Mione you know you can tell me anything"
"I know"
Harry just looked at her and she couldn't hide from him.
She sighed and began, "I saw my crush with his new girlfriend, I shouldn't even be this upset, it's foolish." Hermione bowed her head.
"It isn't foolish," Harry reached and put his hand over hers, "you're sad, I understand."
He pulled her into hug. "If you ever need to talk, you know that I'm always here for you, right?" He said looking into her eyes.
"I know," she smiled, and then kissed his cheek softly, "Goodnight, Harry."
He smiled as she went up to her dorm.
End Flashback
Hermione had always been there for him, from the moment the met there was a connection.
Chorus
I look in the mirror and see your face
If I look deep enough
So many things inside that just like you
Are taking over
Chorus
(Taking Over Me0)
You're taking over me
Harry thought about all of their times together and thought about how much he loved her, and how now he knew that she loved him. Suddenly he was sorry he ever left.
As the song finished and the band stopped playing, the crowd gave a standing ovation and cheered at a deafening volume.
While Hermione took her bows, Harry snuck backstage and into her dressing room. He had never been more nervous than he was at this moment.
He heard the crowd quiet and knew that Hermione would be coming soon.
