Harry Potter and the Jade Heart
Chapter 25
"Leaving"
Harry had his head leaning against the window of the train staring at nothing. Ron was fast asleep across from him, lying on his side. Harry wondered what Ron could be dreaming about. He himself could only see a jumble of images, but his mind kept settling back on one in particular. He saw Hermione grinning with pride at him when they won the house cup their first year, when she ran up to him after being unpetrified at the end of their second year, when she showed them the jar with Rita Skeeter on the train just one year ago, and when she watched him leave the forest just days ago. He could see the faces of all the students who had become death eaters, how their faces looked even worse from the glow of the fire. He remembered Ron always happy whenever he beat people at chess, but then he saw how broken he was when his curse went array. He thought of his parents, Dumbledore, Lupin, Sirius, and of course Voldemort. But above all this, he kept thinking back to Cho. He got the same feeling that he had the first time she ever smiled at him whenever he saw that smile thereafter. But he couldn't shake that look in her eyes when she glanced back at him as she was leaving. Harry somehow drifted off to sleep and rather than the nightmares he's been having, he dreamed a peaceful dream. It was unreal, very surreal. It was sunny, and he saw Cho handing him a flower she picked up off the ground. She gave him a huge smile, but then turned her back on him, and there was that look in her eyes for a split second and she walked away from him, leaving him behind.
No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows
No, I can't forget tomorrorow
When I think of all my sorrows
When I had you there but then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know
I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give any more
I can't live if living is without you
I can't give, I can't give any more
