Title: I'm Already There Rating: G Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or any of its characters, nor do I own the song "I'm Already There" by Lonestar. I just borrow them once in awhile. Author's Notes: HI EVERYBODY!!!!!!! Me again! I know this isn't the best fic I've ever written, but it did only take me about fifteen minutes after all! LoL Anyway, enjoy!

(bracket stuff) = the song

Ron Weasley sighed as he dialed his home phone number. He had learned how to use the fellytone properly years ago so he could call his wife and kids at home when he was on the road. Being an Auror, he was often gone for days, even weeks at a time. He really missed seeing his family. This mission was all the way in Ireland, a group of rebel leprechauns causing a lot of trouble. He hadn't been home for a month and a half. Looking around his empty hotel room, he was wishing more and more that he had picked a regular job.
"Hello?" A soft, musical voice answered the phone after a few rings. Ron took a deep breath, swallowing the lump rising in his throat.
"Hey 'Mione, how's it going?" He whispered, chuckling when she squealed and said hi. They talked for a few minutes, every few seconds whispering 'I love you'.

(He called her on the road

From a lonely cold hotel room.

Just to hear her say "I love you" one more time)

They had talked for nearly fifteen minutes when Ron heard the door banging open from the other end and heard the sounds of his three children laughing as they ran through the kitchen. While Hermione told them to stop running and that their father was on the phone, Ron hastily wiped at the tears forming in his eyes. His oldest son, who was eight, was the first to come on the phone, excitedly reenacting his quidditch match against his cousins. When the middle son, who was six, came on and did as he always did, begged for a puppy. By the time his four-year-old daughter came on, Ron was extremely home sick.
"Can you come home now Daddy?" Was the first ting that came out her mouth, her voice trembling with tears. Ron thought for a few seconds, then smiled softly.

(And when he heard the sound

Of the kids laughing in the background

He had to wipe away a tear from his eye.

A little voice came on the phone

Said, "Daddy, when you coming home?"

He said the first thing that came to his mind:)

"Look outside baby girl," He told her, "you see the shadows dancing on the grass? That's me looking at you and your brothers, making sure you guys are all right." "And the wind making the leaves dance? That's you too right?" She giggled, her tears forgotten. "That's right sweetheart. And remember, when you're in bed and trying to sleep, all you have to do is talk and I'm there." Ron sent her a kiss through the phone and told her to be good and say her prayers. The boys got back on the phone to say goodnight, then Hermione came back on. He promised to call back in an hour, after she had put the kids to bed, so they could talk in private. He told her he loved her, then hung up.

(I'm already there,

Take a look around.

I'm the sunshine in your hair,

I'm the shadow on the ground.

I'm the whisper in the wind,

I'm your imaginary friend.

And I know I'm in your prayers,

Oh, I'm already there.)

An hour later, Ron called back and settled onto his bed. He and Hermione talked for a few hours, about everything and anything. When there was a pause, Ron heard a small sniffle. He smiled sadly and asked what was wrong. "I wish you were home, that's all. Same as every time you leave. The kids miss you too, but they'll be fine." Hermione paused, then whimpered and continued, "I wish you were lying on our bed with me, holding me as tight as you could, but I'll have to settle on being held in your dreams, huh?" Ron chuckled.

(She got back on the phone

Said, "I really miss you darlin'.

Don't worry about the kids, they'll be all right.

Wish I was in your arms,

Lyin' right there beside you.

But I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight.)

"I wish I was holding you too 'Mione. I'd kiss you until you were breathless, and run my fingers over you. Turn out the light love and close your eyes." He whispered, took a shaky breath and continued with what he would do to her if he were home.

(And I'll gently kiss your lips,

Touch you with my fingertips.

So turn out the light and close your eyes.")

When he was finished, there was a comfortable silence between them. Hermione asked when he'd be home, and Ron thought of what he had said to his daughter.
"I'm there with you honey," Ron grinned lopsidedly as Hermione scoffed, "Shhhh, I am! Your heart beating, the moon shining onto the bed, even the breeze lifting the curtains off of the floor. It's me saying how much I love you. And I'll never leave you." Hermione cried softly and whispered a shaky thank you. After saying I love you and goodbye, they hung up and lay down, each facing the window and looking up at the stars.

(I'm already there,

Don't make a sound.

I'm the beat in your heart,

I'm the moonlight shining down,

I'm the whisper in the wind,

And I'll be there to the end.

Can you feel the love that we share?

I'm already there)

The next day, Ron wrapped up his case and quickly packed all of his things in his trunk. He cast the light as a feather spell and tied it to his broom, then started the long ride home. As the miles between him and his family got smaller and smaller, Ron's grin grew larger and larger.

(We maybe a thousand miles apart,

But I'll be with you wherever you are.)

When Ron landed in front of his house, he took a deep breath and looked around. Merlin, it was good to be home. He called out that he was home and bit back a laugh as he heard several squeals. He opened his arms and dropped to his knees as the kids came running out of the house. They knocked him over and held him tightly, kissing his face over and over he held them as tight as he could, then with a mischevious grin, he stood up and toted them inside, laughing as they squealed. He put them down in the hall, and they ran to get his stuff, which was still sitting on the front lawn. Ron shook his head and looked up the stairs. His breath caught in his throat when he saw Hermione standing there, a large smile on her face. She ran down the stairs and jumped into Ron's arms. Their lips met hungrily and they kissed with all the passion they'd been denied for the last month and a half. When they finally parted, they both had tears streaming down their faces. They laughed and kissed again. "Daddy! Mummy!" The three children came running inside, and the entire family stood there holding each other. "Daddy," the little girl suddenly asked curiously, "Are you still the wind and the shadows?" Ron laughed and said he was, anytime any of them needed him, he was there, in the sun, in the wind, in the shadows, everywhere. As long as they loved him and he loved them, they would always be together.

(I'm already there,

Take a look around.

I'm the sunshine in your hair,

I'm the shadow on the ground,

I'm the whisper in the wind,

And I'll be there to the end.

Can you feel the love that we share?

Oh, I'm already there.

I'm already there.)

AN: How was it? I'm never really good at song fics. Didn't help I couldn't think of three names for the kids. Reviews please!!!! And does anyone think this is a good story line? If so I'll write a sequel! If not, * shrugs * then I won't I guess... Thanks for reading!
