Only God Knows Why
By Kid Rock
A/N: Hey! Once again, I didn't finish the song, but that's okay, right? And I couldn't figure out some of the words, so I made them up. NO FLAMES ON THAT, KAY? And I changed a word, that was objectionable for younger children, so that they could read it. 3/3 out of the "Till Death Do Us Part" trilogy! Hope you cry your eyes out! P. S.- Kid Rock owns the song "Only God Knows Why", and whoever owns him. Please don't sue me! And the Harry Potter and Co. belong to Bloomsbury Publishers and J. K. Rowling. I don't have that much money!!! Don't sue! Thanx!
I've been sittin' here
Trying to find myself
I get behind myself
I need to rewind myself
No one could possibly believe her change. It was just too ironic. The entire school was either trying to make her feel better, or avoiding eye contact as much as possible. But now? It was as if she had gotten a makeover, for the best. She was happy, bubbly, and alive again. She was actually found studying, which meant Dean Thomas didn't have much of a chance anymore. And for the first time in a long time, she laughed.
Looking for the payback
Listen for the play back
They say that every man
Bleeds just like me
No one asked why. She just was. She knew though. She knew the incident that happened to change her way of life. She knew that whatever happened, it would all me okay.
And I feel like number one
Yet I'm last in line
I watch my youngest son
And it helps to pass the time
It was five days after his funeral. She was taking a night stroll, in the robe and nightgown Harry had gotten her. She was also wearing his invisibility cloack, which was bequeathed to her from him. She was passing through an endless hallway when she heard her name whispered.
I take too many pills
It helps to ease the pain
I made a couple dollar bills
Still I feel the same
"Hermione." The relaxed voice said to her, exhausted trying to catch her.
"Who are you? Who's there? How can you see me?" She asked, frightened at the voice from no where. No portraits were in sight, and the voice sounded familiar. Who would ever want to say her name anymore? And how could they see her, under the invisibility cloak?
Everybody knows my name
Say it way out loud
Lot of folks bugging me
It's hard to hang out in the crowd
"Hermione, can you see me now?" the voice from directly behind her innocently asked, solidifying slowly. The first thing she saw were two green eyes, a ghostly remembrance of the past.
"Who are you?" Hermione asked, backing away.
"Don't leave. I have something to tell you. And I think that you have something to tell me?" The two eyes turned into an outline.
I guess that's the price you pay
To be some big shot like I am
I'm still standin' In one night stands [I couldn't figure out the words]
Still I can't find love
"Harry?" Hermione whispered, more of a statement than a question. "I do have something you."
"Well, you first. I can't say mine until you do." Harry said, finally totally visible. He had chosen to wear his favorite shirt and black pants.
"Oh." She said. Now was her chance to tell her all she ever wanted to for the past week! She could talk for hours, but could think of only one thing to say.
And when you're wall comes tumblin' down
I will always be around
"I've been watching you. I was let back into the real world for you to see me so go on. Tell me." Harry said, wishing he could hold her close one more time, or sneak into his room and grab the cologne he loved so he could bring it to heaven, but this was more important.
"Oh Harry I wanted to tell you, tell you that" Hermione burst into tears. She was so glad to see him again, yet so unhappy he couldn't stay.
And when a wall comes tumblin' down
I will always be around
"Harry, I wanted to tell you that, that I love you. Forever and always. I was being crazy the other day when I said no. Crazy and stupid. Harry, would you marry me?" she whispered. The question was not one of the things she planned to say. She just said it.
People don't know
'bout the things I say and do
They don't understand
'bout the issues that I've been through
"Hermione, you know it wouldn't work out. I'm dead, you know, only to come back this very night until midnight. But I wanted to tell you that I knew you loved me, deep down, you always have. And always will. I love you too." He lost control of what he was doing. The dead could not touch the living. It was impossible, for they would just pass right through the other. But as he kissed her, he felt it. She felt it too, except, it wasn't a normal ghost touch. It was warm and alive. The kiss ended only too soon.
It's been so long
Since I've been home
I've been gone
I've been gone for way
Too long
"I have one more thing to tell you. It is not your time to die yet. If you live like this, you won't be living. Move on with your life. Find someone new. I'll be waiting for you. Forever and always." Harry slowly diminished into the twilight as she cried.
Maybe I've forgot
All the things I've missed
Somehow I know there's more to life than this
I've said it too many times
And I still stand firm
You get what you put it
And people get what they deserve
That evening, she climbed into bed and for once in what seemed like forever, she was content. As she pulled her hair back into a messy bun the morning after, she glanced into the mirror to find, to her astonishment, an exquisite diamond ring on her left hand's ring finger. She smiled, looked out her window, and silently thanked him. She knew that she may never find anyone that could love her as much as Harry, but she would learn to live. And await the day in which the angels will sing in joy. Through it all, she knew she would be okay.
Only God knows why
