(One year later)
"Come on Harry, if you don't hurry we won't get good seats." Ron yelled from the living room of there flat.
Coming out of his bedroom in jeans and a t-shirt Harry says, " I don't understand the big deal, its not like we've never gone to see a singer perform before."
"Your right Harry but this is Lilith, only the hottest singer in the wizarding world. I mean she even sings in the muggle world now." Ron said his face going all red.
Rolling his eyes Harry followed Ron out there flat, following Ron up to the grounds of Hogwarts were the first concert of the wizarding world was about to take place.
It was almost like when they were younger, but it would never be that way ever again she was gone. They had searched, Dumbledore told them when she was ready she would come home, how long would that take, how long would he have to wait to learn the truth behind the secrets that clouded his life since the day she had left a year ago. He and Ron had gone on to graduate but it wasn't the same after she left, hell even Snape seemed defeated by her leaving. If she would come home he would try to fix what went wrong, he would try to anyway. He could hear the headmaster's words in his head telling him that true love was there all along, god he had been a fool, he knew that know.
"Harry over here." The voice yelled.
Turning to the right Harry could see the whole Weasley family sitting up front on a blanket in the grass. Walking up to them Harry began to sit down next to Ron, when he noticed Dumbledore walking towards them.
"Harry, please stay seated. Minister, Molly how is all of you this fine evening?" Albus said smiling at the Weasley family.
"Were fine headmaster, excited about the concert." Molly replied.
"Yes we all are, It took some convincing On Severus part to get his daughter to do it but after he told her it would be a present for someone birthday she agreed." Albus Dumbledore said smiling to them all.
"Well if you excuse me Minerva is waiting for me." With that he was heading back the way he had come.
Ron looked at Harry with a horrible look on his face, " Snape's daughter, blimey"
She stood at the window looking at everyone outside laughing and cheering. She had spent the day walking around the school under an invisibility cloak. Looking over the masses of people her glaze landed on the unruly black hair, sitting next to red head young man. "Their here." She whispered.
"Yes, you don't have to do this if you don't feel up to it." Severus called from the doorway.
"No I do, today is a special day. Its her birthday, she might be here." She said wiping a stray tear from her eye.
Walking up behind the young woman Severus Snape wrapped his arms around her." I'm sorry I missed your life child, I'm sorry for the pain you felt because of me, but I promise she won't feel the pain you did. I will find her if I have to search for the rest of my life."
Turning around she moved her hand gently down his face. " I know that daddy."
"Lilith its time" called her manager from the doorway.
Severus Snape watched his daughter walk out of the school and head towards the lake were the stage was set up. Following her walking slowly over to the rest of the teachers.
"How is she Severus?" Albus asked looking at the younger man.
"She's a Snape she's copping." Severus said not looking at him.
Severus turn to look at the group of red head searching and finding the thorn in his side. Potter, glaring at the young man Severus turned back to the stage wishing that he could hurt Potter as much as he had hurt Hermione.
Dusk slowly descended on the grounds of Hogwarts and the soft sound of music erupted.
Slowly the young woman took the stage long silky black hair and blue eyes, dressed in muggle jeans and a red silk shirt that clung to her body. The shirt was open in the back and only fell right above her belly button. The back was criss crossed strings. Harry couldn't help but think Hermione when she came out dancing and singing. He remembered when Mione had told him about the pop music concert she had gone to with a muggle friend and how the singer left nothing to the imagination, yet still had a certain class in a flashy way. If only she was here with them, then this moment would be almost complete. So lost in his thoughts Harry didn't notice the song was over and that she was talking until he heard Ron call his name.
"Blimey Harry, aren't you paying attention. She's amazing." Ron said rolling his eyes at his friend.
"Sorry Ron was thinking." Harry said turning his attention back to the concert.
"This next song I want to do is a muggle song, when I heard it touched me when I was lost." She said moving up to the mic as soft music filled the grounds and her voice gently began to sing.
Scarlet red
drips from my veins
What's wrong with me
That I imagine such things
And if only for a moment
Let there be peace
And how can I
Live with this pain
I don't have the strength
To conquer this shame
And if only for a moment
Let there be peace
Tears began to run down her face as she let the pain of the last year and half come out in her words. The loss of innocent views, the loss of her child, her life had become so harsh yet, her fathers love had begun to show her there was more then pain.
And tell me did you know
that I still won't let it go
and just maybe you're still flying free
if only
Harry watched Lilith sing and even thought he was about ten feet away he could see tears running down her face. Her words filled with so much pain, he couldn't help but wonder what caused someone to feel that much loss, who could have hurt her that bad.
Tell me why
I'm left here alone
I search for your voice
But I should've known
That if only for a moment
You'd be with me
And tell me did you know
That I still won't let it go
And just maybe you're still flying free
If only I could change the way
You were torn away from me
I would never let you go
I'd burn away the plans we made
Pretending to believe
That I am not afraid
And tell me did you know
That I still won't let it go
And just maybe you're still flying free
And tell me did you know
That I still won't let it go
And just maybe you're still flying free
If only
As the song slowly came to an end, you could hear silent crying thru out the crowed. Dumbledore looked around and smiled sadly, they all had lose so much his children. When Severus found out about his daughter, Albus thought the younger man would break, and then the lose of his granddaughter. If only they been able to find her, he knew that until they did she would not return to them.
You could buy me diamonds
You could buy me pearls
Take me on a cruise around the world
Baby you know I'm worth it
Dinner lit by candles
Run my bubble bath
Make love tenderly to last a lifetime
Baby you know I'm worth it Wanna please, wanna keep, wanna treat, your woman right
Now just don't, better show that she is worth your time
You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can't find a man who knows her worth 'Cause a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
A real woman knows a real man always comes first
A real man just can't deny a woman's worth Mmmmhmmmm.. Hold up
'Cause if you treat me fairly I'll give you all my goods
Treat you like a real woman should
Baby I know you're worth it
If you never play me promise not to blow off
I'll hold you down when shit gets rough
'Cause baby I know you're worth it She walks the mile, makes you smile, all the while being true
Don't take for granted the passion she has for you
You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can't find a man who knows her worth 'Cause a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
A real woman knows a real man always comes first
A real man just can't deny a woman's worth No need to read between the lines, spelled out for you
Just hear this song cause you can't go wrong with your values
A woman, woman, woman, woman's worth 'Cause a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
A real woman knows a real man always comes first
A real man just can't deny a woman's worth Mmmmhmmmm...
All over the grounds you could here women yelling their agreement. Albus and many of the other teachers began laughing at the outburst from the students.
"Ron , did you hear that, I'll expect you to remember that song and I'll be looking for your behavior to improve on our next date." Lavender said smugly to her boyfriend.
Ron face and ears went as red as beats, his family just laughing at Lavenders out burst.
"Hey Ginny I thought Draco was coming?" Harry asked the youngest Weasley.
"He running late he has to help his mom with his niece today." Ginny said smiling
"I didn't know Malfoy had a sister?" Ron said looking at his sister.
" He doesn't, but when Voldemort was killing and raping all those women a lot of babies were homeless, so his mom took one of them in to raise, he said its helped her a lot to deal with everything she's done when his father was alive." Ginny said looking at Harry and Ron.
"I know I couldn't believe all the children they found in the dungeons of the death eaters manors." Harry said sadly.
"Ginny" Someone yelled.
Looking around Ginny broke out in a smile and yelled "Over here Draco".
Hurrying over to the Weasley, Draco had to pick up his niece to keep her with him.
Sitting down next to his girlfriend Draco pulled the little girl in his lap.
Harry couldn't help look at the little girl, she was so cute, black hair, and the brownest eyes, he'd seen in over a year.
"My mom was running late so she's going to stop here and get Emma" Draco said running his hand thru the little girl unruly black hair trying to smooth it down.
"How old is she Draco." Molly asked as she started making baby noises at Emma.
"She just turned one , today." He said smiling at Molly.
They all sat there smiling as they watched the little girl bop up and down to the music.
"How's everyone doing out there" Lilith yelled over the mic. People started to scream. Lilith laughed at the screams from the students. "This next song is one I wrote right after the war ended, it was a very emotional time for me and still is really. But before I start I would like to thank Hogwarts for having me , I just hope you have enjoyed this as much as I have. This next song is called Lonely Walk of Love." She said as a slow beat began to pick up moving to take the mic in hand she taped her thigh along to the beat.
Here I stand in front of you again
Alone but free
A gryffindor brave and true
Because I no longer need you
I no longer walk along with you
Now I walk alone
Down this lonely walk
Of love
Alone but free
Days have passed
And love has
Passed me by.
But don't cry for me
You've set me free
Mistakes made
Promises broken
One heart shattered
Beyond Dumbledore's repair
Now I walk alone
Down this
Lonely walk of love
Alone but free
Do you ever think of me
Do you ever cry
For the love that
Will never be
Because now I
Walk along without you
Broken in pieces
Not even a medawitch
Could fix
Now I walk alone
Down this lonely walk of love
Alone but free
Alone but free
Harry just sat there unable to move the words of the song crashing into his heart hard. He couldn't believe it after all this time she was right there in front of him and the world. "Hermione" he whispered
"What Harry?" Ron said looking at his friend as if he was crazy.
"Ron that's Hermione." Harry said getting to his feet and rushing after Lilith who was already heading back up to the school to change for the dinner party after the concert.
Ron took off after Harry yelling " Harry , stop be serious that can't be Mione."
Harry wouldn't stop he just keep going as he got closer he began yelling " Lilith, Hermione, wait please."
Hearing Harry yelling her name Lilith stopped, but before she could turn and tell him she didn't know anyone by that name her father stepped between them.
Glaring at Harry, Severus Snape could feel the pent up anger he had been feeling for this young man for the last year and half. " Stay away from her Potter, My daughter wants nothing to do with you, you already hurt one young woman. I won't let you hurt another." Trying to get past Snape, Harry knew it just had to be Hermione. "Mione, I don't know what happen but I'm begging you please just give me a chance to talk to you."
"I'm warning you Potter." Severus sneered.
"And I'm warning you ,you greasy grit get out of my way." Harry screamed in Snape's face.
Turning and walking to were Harry and her father stood, Lilith looked at the boy who lived and said " So you're the famous Harry Potter. All that fame must have affected your hearing , and your manors. I believe my father told you already to stay away from me. Let me reinforce that, I'm not this Hermione person and from the way you're acting who could blame the her for not wanting to talk to you. Now if you'll excuse me. Father is you coming?" With that she turned and continued to the school.
"Blimey Harry you pissed her off." Ron said looking at his friend .
"I don't care what she says Ron , or Snape ,that's Mione, and I'll get her to talk to me ."Harry said watching them walk up the stairs of the castle.
(Author's note)
