Disclaimer: I enjoy making Ms. Rowling's characters more popular by writing
about them, but do not own them. I also make Tamia money by enjoying and
endorsing her new song "Officially Missing You" and I don't own that
either.
A/N: We haven't heard from Hermione in two chapters but that ends now. With the help of Tamia's "Officially Missing You", we know how Hermione feels as the day with Ron approaches. As always downloading the song helps set the stage and the mood. Enjoy!!! *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Chapter 4: Officially Missing You
"All I hear is raindrops
falling from the rooftops
Oh baby tell me why'd you have to go
Cause this pain I feel
It won't go away
And today I'm officially missing you."
Hermione walked in to door to her house, exhausted and let out a big sigh. It was Friday. She would spend the evening, alone. She wished she could come home without that big empty feeling sweeping upon her but it seemed that it wouldn't. Taking her shoes off and heading into her room she put on her muggle comfort clothes. A pair of gray stretch pants and a T-shirt. Walking back into the living room made her notice for the first time that day the big box in the corner. She looked at the box.
"Ron." She simply said.
"I thought that from this heartache
I could escape
But I fronted long enough to know
There ain't no way
And today
I'm officially missing you"
Ron was the reason she was so down. So depressed. She missed him more than she thought was healthy. But tomorrow would change everything. Ron would come and get his things and that would end things for good. It would be the closure she needed. She would finally be over him, completely over him. And she felt confident in this until came the little voice in the back of her mind, 'yeah right'.
Just as she felt her spirit slipping again, and that familiar stinging in her eyes, there came a knock at her door.
"Oh can't nobody do it like you
Said every little thing you do
Hey baby say it stays on my mind
And I, I'm officially."
Her heartbeat sped up and her breathing quickened. She found that something deep inside her wanted it to be Ron, so badly. So she took a deep breath, smoothed her hair and opened the door to a smiling.
"Harry!" She forced a smile a tried a little laugh but it sounded weak and pathetic even to her broken-hearted standards.
"Hey, Hermione! How are you?" Harry greeted her with a real and genuine smile and a warm hug.
"I'm okay. Come in." She told him trying hard to mask her disappointment. Harry hadn't been over in a while. He walked in and looked around her flat. It seemed, even to him empty. He noticed that many of her pictures of she and Ron were gone. In fact there were only two pictures left in the room. One of Harry, himself wearing his Quidditch gear and one of Ron and Hermione hugging at graduation.
Hermione shut the door and walked into the living room to see Harry pick up the picture of she and Ron and smile.
"All I do is lay around
Two ears full of tears
From looking at your face on the wall
Just a week ago you were my baby
Now I don't even know you at all
I don't know you at all."
"I remember this picture." He began with a laugh. "I took it. Happy that my two best friends had made it out of Hogwarts after all I put them through." While he spoke, Hermione tried her hardest at a laugh or at least a smile but wasn't able to form either. Instead just a rather pitiful look on her face.
"Hermione, are you really okay." Harry asked, his voice full of concern.
She tried to answer but knew it wouldn't matter so instead she just let out a sigh. Harry had been her best friend since she was 11 years old. He could see right through her. She had hidden her real feelings from everyone else, but he already knew how she really felt. He knew what was going on.
"Are you sure you can do this?" he questioned in her silence.
"Well I wish that you would call me right now
So that I could get through to you somehow
But I guess it's safe to say baby, Safe to say
That I'm officially missing you."
"Harry isn't it obvious?" She started. "I feel so empty, so alone, sad and broken hearted. I miss him so much. So much more than I though I would. Our fight was stupid. I shouldn't have walked away and he shouldn't have let me."
Silence followed her statement. She had expected it. There was nothing Harry could have said. She had officially admitted to missing Ron. Harry was the first person she had said that to. She wanted to see Ron so badly. She wasn't sure what to do with herself.
"Oh can't nobody do it like you
Said every little thing you do
Hey baby say it stays on my mind
And I, I'm officially."
"Harry would you like some tea?" she offered hoping to lighten the mood. Harry nodded and gave her sad smile. She led the way to the kitchen. Realizing she hadn't had any dinner as she charmed things for their tea. "I haven't eaten, would you like to stay and have dinner."
"I'd love to but I already have plans for a night out this evening." Harry replied.
"Oh, going out with a lady friend this evening Mr. Potter." She raised an eyebrow and gave him a small smile. He simply nodded and returned the smile.
But just as quickly as Hermione had felt good for Harry having someone to spend the evening with, her spirit quickly plummeted. She remembered when Fridays used to be a reason to celebrate. She and Ron had always gone out of Fridays. Out to dinner or to a club or sometimes just for a walk or ice cream. Her memories hit her so hard she could feel the color drain out of her face and the teacup she was holding dropped.
"Whoa." Harry exclaimed as he caught the cup with his Quidditch enhanced reflexes. He smiled and went to hand the cup back to Hermione when he noticed her face. He stared at her worriedly and asked "Hermione, what's the matter?"
"Well I thought I could just get over you, baby
But I see that's something I just can't do
From the way you would hold me
To the sweet things you told me
I just can't find a way
To let go of you"
Hermione looked Harry straight in the eye. "Harry, I thought it could just be over with Ron. It can't. I thought I could just forget him, get over him. But I can't. It was so wonderful when he was with me." Harry stood up and made his way toward her.
"I'm so tried of being sad Harry." She said and her voice cracked and her eyes brimmed brightly with tears. "I'm so tired of crying!" She exclaimed as she put her face in her hands and sobbed. Harry wrapped his arms around Hermione, pulling her into a tight embrace. She put her face on his chest and sobbed.
Hermione abruptly pulled back wiping hard at her face and looked at Harry. "I'm sorry. I'll be okay really. I don't want to ruin your mood and ruin your fun for the evening." She said all this while more tears waited for their turn to fall.
Harry again hugged Hermione. And said softly in her ear, "He hurts just as much as you do. There isn't anything he wants more than you back." After Hermione calmed down, Harry gave her a brotherly kiss on the forehead and then left.
"Oh can't nobody do it like you
Said every little thing you do
Hey baby say it stays on my mind
And I, I'm officially."
After Harry left, she composed herself to have something small to eat, though she didn't have much of an appetite. She went into her closet to pick something out to wear for tomorrow. She finally decided on a high neck red sweater and a knee length denim skirt. Her stomach seemed to be doing flip-flops. She felt completely flustered. She had only felt this way one time in her life before. And that was before her first date with Ron. Only he could be the reason she felt this way. As she got ready for bed she finally admitted to herself that no matter what happened she would never forget Ron.
"It's official
You know that I'm missing you
Yeah yes
All I hear is raindrops
And I'm officially missing you"
Hermione woke up on Saturday morning feeling better than she had felt in weeks. 'Four to be exact' the little voice in her head had told her. As she got up and got herself ready she thought to the previous night.
She had finally admitted to missing Ron. Finally let herself know how much she needed him. Harry's comment about Ron really made her think though. Did Ron really miss her? Did he really want her back? Would this end the rain cloud that seemed to have taken over her life?
She looked at herself in the mirror. Ron would be here in 30 minutes. She brushed a piece of lint off her sweater and then smoothed her hair down. Hoping the sleek easy would hold. Taking a deep breath she told herself, "This is it." She missed him too much to just leave the matter alone. "I am officially missing you, Ron." She just wondered, what was she gonna do about it?
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* A/N: Well there ya go. Hermione's account of the situation, much more emotional. At one point while I was writing this I realized that I was crying. I don't think it's that sad. Well I kinda do, but who knows what will happen in the end. I hope to have the next chapter out soon. I still need to find a song for their meet up but I already have a song for chapter 6. Please review and tell me what you think. Review mine and I will review yours. Keep sharing the love! TReader
