Author's note: Hey everyone, this is my second fic. Please leave a review, whether good or bad. If you think it is bad, go ahead and tell me. Anyways on with the story.
Because of you
Another sob emitted from Hermione's mouth. Why? Why? Stupid Voldemort had to kill him, now who knew what would happen to the wizard world. Hermione's thoughts went back to before this happened. Before Voldemort killed him. Before He killed Harry Potter.
I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far
After Sirius died, Harry was never the same Harry that she and Ron knew. He became an empty shell. His emerald eyes never had the same mischievous gleam in them; instead it was replaced with an empty, dull look. At first she and Ron thought that in time he would move on. He would never forget, nor would they, but they would move on. They did, but Harry didn't. He allowed himself no joy in life. She did not want to be that empty shell. That he was before he died. No she did not want that at all.
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
His death changed Hermione. It changed her life style completely.
"Oy mudblood! Why don't you take that ugly wig off, oh wait I forgot that isn't a wig, that is your bush that you call hair." Draco taunted her.
The Slytherins laughed, but she did not throw any insults back at him. Eventually Draco left her alone as it wasn't as fun to bug her. No one ever talked to her now, because she never would talk back to them. She was alone in the world.
I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with
She would toss and turn in her sleep. Nightmares of Harry filled her sleep. When she woke up from her fitful sleep, there was no Harry to tell her it was just a dream. There was no Harry to tell her that everything was going to be okay. There was no Harry at all. Harry's death had effected Hermione more than anyone else.
"Hermione, I know you are still upset about Harry, but you need to let go. Harry would not want you to be like this.", Ron told her after he moved on.
Ron was right she couldn't cry anymore, Harry wouldn't want that. So everyday she acted happy. She smiled and laughed on the outside, but inside she cried.

She didn't know how Ron could be normal again. She would never be normal again. She remembered that Harry and Ron hated her at first in their first year. That was before the troll. She cried harder remembering that troll.
She was crying in the girl's lavatory (A/N that is a bathroom to everyone in the USA). Then she heard it. Thump, thump, thump. She peeked out of the stall door and that is when she saw it. The troll. Harry and Ron had come looking for her, and they saved her. They levitated the trolls club hit it on the head and Harry's wand had gotten stuck up its nose.
I watched you die
I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry
In the middle of the night
For the same damn thing
She was there when he died. A flash of green light and Harry fell to the ground. She had ran to him, and held him crying. Every night she cried after that day. She cried herself to sleep and she cried while she was asleep. Just like he did after Sirius had died. They both cried for the dead. She realized what she must do. She snuck up to the boy's dorm and opened what had been Harry's trunk. She pulled out an object and went back to the girl's dorms.
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid
Because of you ohhhhhhhhh
because of youuuu you
"Because of you Harry, I am not the same. Because of you I am not even alive. I am a ghost here. So forgive me, but I need you. I need to be with you.", she whispered. She held up Sirius's knife that he had given to Harry. She swiftly stabbed the knife through her flesh and all life left in her was gone.
