You're Still You
Josh Groban
I sat by the window in my office of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. I reflected on the last week or so, pain ripping its ugly talons at my heart.
Gone. Just like that. He was gone, fighting for good against the dark lord. What if I never see him again? What if he dies? What if…
I had loved him, so much. I didn't want him to leave me. How could he…?
I stared out into the dark night. All of a sudden, I saw a blinding flash of light.
Through the darkness
I can see your light
And you will always shine
And I can feel your heart and mine
My heart started to pound as the light got clearer. It was coming closer.
When the light had reached my window, it subsided. There stood the man I loved, my idol, smiling at me, as if nothing had happened.
Your face I've memorized
I idolize just you
I opened the window and he climbed inside.
"Albus?" I asked, astonished.
He nodded. He was so noble, so kind and caring. I looked up to him in every way. In my eyes, he did only what was right. I've loved him for so long. And he was there. In front of me. He was still who I remembered, after all of that war.
I look up to
Everything you are
In my eyes you do no wrong
I've loved you so long
And after all was said and done
You're still you
After all
You're still you
"You've come back," I said, tears coming to my eyes.
"Yes, I believe I have," he replied.
"Is Voldemort- is he… dead?" the question was asked before I could stop it.
"I believe that we won't be getting any more trouble from him, Minerva," he said, a smile creasing his features.
Yes, even though I used to feel pain radiating off of him when I passed him and time had changed everything about him, he was still the brilliant man I had always known and loved.
You walk past me
I can feel your pain
Time changes everything
One truth always stays the same
You're still you
After all
You're still you
"Minerva, there is pressing news that concerns you. I need to tell you this," he said, his manor suddenly serious.
I nodded.
"Minerva, I love you. I just realized that recently. So much for brilliance, huh?" he continued.
I was shocked. Then, I started to cry. He wrapped me in his warm embrace. I cried into his shoulder and managed to say, "Oh, Albus, I have always loved you, and no one can change it."
I look up to
Everything you are
In my eyes you do no wrong
And I believe in you
Although you've never asked me to
I will remember you
And what life put you through
He held me at arm's length and looked deep into my eyes. He had shocking blue eyes. Yes, he was definitely still the man I had always known and loved.
And in this cruel and lonely world
I've found one love
You're still you
After all
You're still you

A/N- Ok, so it was kind of cheesy. The song is "You're Still You" by Josh Groban. This is my first AlbusandMinerva fic. I usually write HarryandHermione fics. But I hope you can forgive me and drop me a review anyway. Sorry about any spelling errors. I can't spell for beans.
