A.N. This is my first songfic, I hope you like it. It's the B*Witched song Are You a Ghost.
Its 2 in the morning
I'll tell you why I'm awake
There it goes that creepy feeling again
Round in my head
Ooh again here in my head
Hermione sat it the Gryffindor common room alone. It was really late at night, or really early in the morning depending on how you look at it. Harry had left Hogwarts a month ago to defeat Voldemort. He succeeded but never returned. Hermione sat thinking about right before he left…
~Flash Back~
"Hermione," Harry said bringing her back to reality. "I have to go, I wish I didn't but I do. I just wanted to tell you that if I don't
come back that, that,"
She just sat there staring at Harry; his voice got caught in his throat. Finally he swallowed.
"If I don't come back" he repeated, "I want you to know that I've loved you since I first saw you on the train, in our first year. And nothing can ever change my love for you."
He blushed a deep crimson. Hermione stood up and hugged Harry.
"I've loved you too Harry. No matter what happens I'll never forget you and what you did, for me, for all wizards and witches."
She kissed Harry, never wanting it to end, not wanting Harry to go and leave her…
"Harry. Take care, come back to me."
"Don't worry Hermione, I'll never leave you. I promise."
Here in the darkness
Oh there's so many shades
Shadows burn like faded flames
And die into the night
Ooh and fly up so high ooh
A tear slipped down Hermione's cheek. He promised, but he didn't keep his
promise. They would never be together
again.
Are you a ghost?
Or are you alive?
Would you be here for me now?
Imagination
Or are you for real?
Just give me a sign and I'll know
"Hermione, I said I'll never leave you…"
Hermione, sobbed, she could hear his voice, it echoed in her
head. She remembered his touch, the way
he would ruffle her hair when she got mad at him and Ron. Or the way he hugged her when she was
depressed.
Cool wind is blowing
Fingers through hair
Standing in an empty room, alone
It feels like you're there
"Harry, Come back to me." Hermione sobbed. "COME BACK!!"
She yelled at the dieing flames in the fireplace.
Are you a ghost?
Or are you alive?
Would you be here for me now?
Imagination
Or are you for real?
Just give me a sign and I'll know
She needed someone to talk to, someone
to confide in. She needed someone who
cared for her more than anyone else in the world.
She needed Harry.
I'll tell you what I know
I'll tell you how I feel
Hermione curled up on the sofa that she was sitting in the day Harry left when
Hedwig swooped in through the open and dropped a piece of paper on her lap and
flew away
Are you a ghost?
Or are you alive?
Would you be here for me now?
Imagination
Or are you for real?
Just give me a sign and I'll know
The note read, "Turn around"
Slowly Hermione turned around tears still running down her face.
Are you a ghost?
Or are you alive?
Would you be here for me now?
Imagination
Or are you for real?
Just give me a sign and I'll know
"Harry" she gasped before he picked her up and kissed her soundly.
They broke apart.
"I promised you I'd never leave you." He whispered. Then they kissed again, and again. They would never be separated.
