I turn to you

A/N- This is what I Should Have Told Him could have been if Hermione hadn't wimped out about telling Harry how she felt. A soppy songfic narrated by Harry.

Other A/N- Fluff. Fluff. Fluff.

When I'm lost
In the rain
In your eyes I know
I'll find the light
To light my way

"WHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!" screamed the seventh year at Hogwarts. All but two. Hermione and I weren't screaming. She was the only one who I could turn to for advice and sympathy. She was the only one I turned to when I was scared about graduating. She was the only one who would listen. She was the only one who'd understand.

And when I'm scared,
Losing ground
When my world is going crazy
You can turn it all around
And when I'm down
You're there pushing me to the top
You're always there giving me all you've got


What she wouldn't understand was that I was mad about her and liked her as so much more than a friend. Much more than as a best friend. I loved Hermione more than I ever thought it was possible to love someone. But she was the prettiest, smartest, nicest, funniest girl in seventh year. I had no chance. But I thought, what the heck...

For a shield from the storm
For a friend
For a love to keep me safe and warm
I turn to you
For the strength to be strong
For the will to carry on
For everything you do
For everything that's true
I turn to you

I was afraid and shaking as I approached Hermione. I was about to wimp out. But then, she said, "I have to tell you something. Harry, I- I- Iloveyou."

When I lose the will to win
I just reach for you
And I can reach the sky again
I can do anything
'Cause your love is so amazing
'Cause your love inspires me
And when I need a friend
You're always on my side
Giving me faith, taking me through the night

Had she said what I thought she said? Had she said she loved me? Ohmmigod! I had to say, "Pardon?" She rose up to her full height and said, "Harry, I love you."

For a shield from the storm
For a friend
For a love to keep me safe and warm
I turn to you
For the strength to be strong
For the will to carry on
For everything you do
For everything that's true
I turn to you

I whispered, "I love you too, Hermione." She ran into my arms and held me like she'd never let me go. I held her tightly, hoping this wasn't a dream. But I knew it wasn't.

For the arms to be my shelter
Through all the rain
For truth that will never change
For someone to lean on
For a heart I can rely on through anything
For the one who I can run to...

I buried my face into her chest and closed my eyes. Then I raised my head and looked into her eyes. I knew that now was the right time. I leant even closer and kissed her.

For a shield from the storm
For a friend
For a love to keep me safe and warm
I turn to you
For the strength to carry on
For everything you do
For everything that's true
I turn to you

A few seconds later, she pulled away from me. I loved Hermione even more, if that was possible. I said, "Hermione, I have to ask you something... I love you. Will you marry me?"
Hermione's mouth dropped open. "Yes! Thank you!! I love you too!" She ran to me and hugged me again. My future had once seemed bleak. But now that Hermione, the girl I loved, would share it with me, it seemed endlessly happy.

THE END.
