Not Alone

Disclaimer: None of this is mine - if it was I'd be a hell of a lot richer! The characters are JKRs, and the song is McFly's.

Dedication: This fic is dedicated to my best mate who has made sure that I'm never alone. I'll never forget the hilarious walks by the river and the evil cows…DMA forever! This fic wouldn't exist without you…

I was always second best, both at home and at school, my brothers always stood in front. Harry always got the attention for being famous, Hermione was top of every class. I was ignored all my life, shunted to one side, overshadowed by my friends and brothers. My friends understood and gave me space, now I stand tall, for they have all gone.

Life is getting harder day by day

And I don't know what to do or say

And my mind is growing weak every step I take

Its uncontrollable now they think I'm fake yeah

They were always there for me, I never had to stand up on my own, they made sure that I always had backup, someone to turn to, for seven years they were my supports, I don't know what I'd do without them.

Coz I'm not alone

I'm not alone

I'm not alone

They've gone now, lost in battle, my support structure has vanished, I'm soon to fall. I'm still standing tall, I will not fall, I will not fail. They were strong, but it feels like its all over, like I'll forget my time at school, another phase that is shunted to one side, to the back of my memory to gather dust, even though it was the best seven years of my life. I won't let myself forget, its not worth forgetting, memories are all I have, I cling onto the ones I have like a frightened child, I can't afford to lose them. I'm going home for the last time, away from the castle that holds so many memories. To start a new life…

I get on the train on my own

And my tired radio keeps playing tired songs

And I know that theres not long to go

Coz all I wanna do is just go home

I'm famous now, the famous survivor from the last battle. Newspapers and magazines want interviews, children ask for autographs. I wouldn't minded this a month ago, but I'd rather not have all this with my friends here, then this without my friends. None of these people seem to realise that I don't want to think about it, let alone talk about it. They don't care or understand how I might feel. I watched my best friends die and all the hope for my world being lost. I stopped noticing time passing, none of it matters anyway - the world is soon going to be over as we know it, we've lost Harry, we've lost Dumbledore, but I'll keep fighting, its what they did, its what I'll do.

People rip me for the clothes I wear

Every day just seems to be the same

They just swear

They just don't care

They haven't gone, they're still watching me from the other side of the veil. I'll join them one day, but my time hasn't come yet, and when it does I'll be there to greet them with open arms. In the meantime they're still around, just where I can't see them…

Coz I'm not alone

I'm not alone

I'm not alone
