This is my first story. It's really a one-shot songfic. The song is "Sick Inside" by Hope Partlow. It's after the war is over, and Harry and Ginny are a couple. Just in case you ask, they're living in Muggle London, which explains the car and whatnot.
Hermione sat on the stoop of her house. She had nothing better to do because all her friends were busy and she felt so lonely, having nobody to talk to. She sighed deeply and wished that anybody from Hogwarts were home. She'd give anything to talk to somebody, even Malfoy. She laughed to herself. Maybe she wouldn't go that far.
I'm just a girl who
Kissed a boy who
Is in love with someone else
I didn't mean to
Feel the way I do
It just happened by itself
Suddenly, a blue Honda Civic drove up and parked in front of Hermione's house. Hermione looked up and looked at the license plate of the car. She knew whose car that was and she jumped with joy when she saw him get out of the car and walk over to her.
"Harry!" She shrieked, giving him a hug.
And now I'm sick inside
Yeah, it makes me wanna cry
I'm so sorry about last night
Yeah, it happened so fast
I wanted it to last
In the moment it felt so right
But now I'm sick inside
They sat back down on Hermione's stoop.
"Why are you here?" Hermione asked, blatantly. Harry smiled.
"I'm looking for Ginny. Have you seen her? She's not picking up her cell phone, and she's not at home," Harry admitted, worriedly.
"Oh." Hermione said disappointedly. She thought he had come to talk to her. Well, what did she expect? He wasn't going to just blurt out that he loved her. Even though she would like if he did, since she loved him so much. But she had tried hard to conceal her feelings ever since he and Ginny got together after the war ended. "No, I haven't seen or heard from her in a long time. I haven't heard from any of you."
Harry's smile faltered, and he stood up. "I guess we're all just drifting apart..." He looked down at Hermione who had her head cradled in her hands staring aimlessly in space. "I really must be going now."
"Oh." Hermione sighed. She walked with him back to his car. "Isn't it funny how we've changed so much since the war ended? I mean, we used to be together all the time, you, Ron, and I. Now I hardly see you guys at all. We've changed so much."
Harry smiled brightly and put his hand on Hermione's cheek. "No, Hermione, you haven't changed at all." Harry's green eyes stared into Hermione's and he leaned in towards her.
He stopped by my house
We were hanging out
He was wondering were you are
We went walking
We were just talking
Then he kissed me by his car
Hermione quickly broke the kiss, and stood there, horrified but ecstatic at the same time. She watched Harry get into his car and drive off, and tears stung at the corner of her eyes. She ran into her house and cried herself to sleep on the couch.
And now I'm sick inside
Yeah, it makes me wanna cry
I'm so sorry about last night
Yeah, it happened so fast
I wanted it to last
In the moment it felt so right
But now I'm sick inside
The next day, Hermione called Ginny's cell phone number.
"Pick up! Pick up!" She muttered frantically.
"Hello?" Ginny's voice answered.
"Gin, we need to talk now."
Now I'm stuck with this feeling in the pit of my soul
Guess I should of had a little self-control
I knew that it was wrong, I admit it
I wish there was a way that I could make it all right
I really wanna tell you that I put up a fight
But that would be a lie
Ginny and Hermione sat outside in a small café on the other side of town.
"What did you need to talk about Hermione?" Ginny asked.
"It's kind of hard to say..." Hermione felt Ginny put her hand over hers.
"It's alright, you can tell me."
"Promise me you won't be mad..." Hermione bit her lip. Ginny frowned and raised her eyebrow at Hermione.
"Mione, what did you do?"
"Just promise me!"
"I promise. Now, what did you do?"
And now I'm sick inside
Yeah, it makes me wanna cry
I'm so sorry about last night
Yeah, it happened so fast
I wanted it to last
In the moment it felt so right
But now I'm sick inside
"Well, Harry came over last night and he was looking for you..." Hermione's voice shook.
"Did Harry do something to you? If he did, I'll –"
"No, I'm fine. It's just that..."
Now I'm sick inside
Yeah, it makes me wanna cry
In the moment it felt so right
"I kissed him." There was no other pain that hurt so much as the pain Hermione had to endure when she said that.
I'm just a girl who
Kissed a boy who
Is in love with you
Hermione walked home with her head down and her cheek still stinging from Ginny's slap. When she got to her house, she saw the blue Honda there, with Harry standing right beside it.
Please review. I'm planning to do more songfics and want to know what you think of this one.
