Disclaimer: I don't own the characters or any of the song rights, don't sue me I'm just a poor high school student.

A/N: Ok, last chapter's song was This Time Imperfect (hence the title of the story) by AFI (A Fire Inside for those of you who don't know), and this story will be ongoing obviously since there are new chapters, (I know I'm just stating the obvious) and it will be Harry/Ginny and Hermione/? maybe Ron or Draco or Harry or Neville or Victor I'm just gonna let you guess for a while hehe, I'm not really sure yet. Ok enough of that time to move on. . . .

Chapter 2

Black Balloon

Baby's black balloon makes her fly
I almost fell into that whole in your life
And you're not thinking about tomorrow
'Cause you were the same as me
But on your knees

Smartest girl in class, bushy haired know- it- all, yeah, that's you. You think you know everything, you think you have me all figured out. You think you already know what path I'm going to choose. Well maybe you're wrong; I know it doesn't happen that often, Hermione Granger, but it does happen. We're not that much different, well maybe to some people, you're a muggle born, I'm not. But that doesn't have to matter to us. I know you don't think about me, and I'm sure you don't think I think about you. But, I do, Hermione, all the time. There isn't a second that goes by that you're not on my mind. I doodle your name on my books when no ones looking I write you poems in books no one will ever see, except you, my love, when you finally realize that we're meant to be together.

A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one
I saw the world spin beneath you
And scatter like ice from the spoon
That was your womb

I know you'll never see like I want you to. Maybe that's better for you, maybe you shouldn't be dragged into my life, it's so screwed up, but then maybe you're my lifesaver. But then I suppose your life has never been that easy, constantly the target of ridicule because you're a mud blood, and I stood near you and did nothing about it, except well make it worse. I've stood and watched as your friends abandon you for being right, but they're too proud to admit that you're right and they're wrong and they should be asking for your forgiveness not the other way around. I love you, Hermione, why can't you just forget about everything else, why can't I?

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on, as you get colder
Or are you someone's prayer.

Hermione, even if you don't love me, you're what gets me through the day, and I know it's pathetic to want the love of a girl who doesn't want you, but I can't help it and I'm not ashamed to admit it either. I'm so lonely without you. Sure it looks like I have a lot of friends, but they aren't the kind of company I want. I want you, my love; I hate being alone at night and talking to people with so little intelligence. I may not show it, but Hermione I want a girl who can think for herself, a girl with you're personality, your looks, Hermione I want you, I just hope you want me too. But I know you don't

You know the lies they always told you
And the love you never knew
What's the things they never showed you
That swallowed the light from the sun
Inside your room

I've seen you go out with other guys and seen them use you, and not appreciate your intelligence and personality. Why won't you just let me hold you, just go out with me once, or tell me why you won't? Hermione am I really that bad? Do I really hurt you that much? Or is that Quidditch player? Is he luring you on with his false promises and fake I love you's. If he is I'll hurt him, oh he'll never play Quidditch again. Hermione, this is insane you're torturing me so bad!

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone's prayer

You're nowhere near me and you're driving me insane. This can't be healthy, to have such an obsession. Hermione, why can't you just say you return my love, just let me for a little while believe that there is someone who loves me. Life is so unfair! Great now you've got me sounding like Ginny, I hear her complaining about how Harry doesn't love her all the time, so I guess we're in the same boat then. Haha, maybe we should start a club, the I Love Them, Why the Hell Don't They See Me club. Oh yeah, that would be loads of fun, then we can both be more depressed then we are already, what fun.

And there's no time left for losin'
When you stand they fall

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder

I might as well just face it, I love you Hermione, but you don't love me. Maybe I will go join Ginny and moll over the fact that you don't love me and you never will, and I will die depressed and lonely because of you and I hope you know that. All I wanted out of life we're to hear 4 simple, simple words from your mouth, but I'm realizing now that that was just to much to ask for this or any life time, but still all I ever wanted to hear was,
"I love you, Draco." I must be dreaming I thought I just heard. . .

All because I'm
Coming down the years turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I'll go on and lead you home and
All because I'm
All because I'm
And I'll become
What you became to me
