Hello, again!!! I didn't plan on continuing, but I did. This chapter is based of the song "Pain" by Three Days Grace, and it's written from Harry's point of view. Again, listening to the song helps you understand the story more, and I hope you like it, understand it, or both.
Disclaimer: No, I don't own HP, and I don't own the song "Pain" by: Three Days Grace. I just love them both a lot.
Pain
Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
"Hermione! Ron! Where are you?" I shouted out.
"We're here mate," Ron replied.
You're sick of feeling numb
You're not the only one
I'll take you by the hand
And I'll show you a world that you can understand
Triumphantly, we walked out of the dark forest… alive. Voldemort's body had disintegrated at the end of our battle. I couldn't believe it. All of my pain, the fear, it was all gone, but surprisingly, I felt empty.
This life is filled with hurt
When happiness doesn't work
Trust me and take my hand
When the lights go out you will understand
Two days after the battle, Ginny left me. She told me, in so many more words, that I wasn't the same, and how she needed someone who would live with her, not live watching her. Can you imagine my surprise when I found out that person was Pansy Parkinson?
Pain, without love
Paint, I can't get enough
Pain, I like rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like rough

Ron… my best mate… my confidant. I don't know what happened to Ron, but I can guess. When we returned from the dark forest, we found out how high the death toll actually was. I knew Ron and Luna Lovegood were secretly dating, but Ron hadn't figured out how to break it to everyone else, but especially how to tell Mione. (I think she already suspected the truth.) I also knew that he was planning on asking Luna to marry him after they told everyone. It probably killed Ron's soul and heart when Bill told him Luna had been tortured until death by the Malfoys, yet I felt no sympathy for my best friend, so instead, Ron found his comfort in drained fire whiskey bottles because I wasn't there.
Anger and agony
Are better than misery
Trust me I've got a plan
When the lights go off you will understand
Hermione seems to be doing fine. She enrolled in classes to become a Healer. If only Mione knew, I never really wanted to marry Ginny. That was why it didn't really hurt when she left. I wanted her, my Hermione. Everyone had always planned out this fantasy life where me, Ron, Ginny, and Hermione lived in a huge house somewhere together, happily ever after. Looks like that wasn't going to happen now.

Rather feel pain
I need something to occupy all this free time I appear to have now. Without Voldemort, my life seems empty somehow, meaningless.
I know (I know I know I know I know)
That you're wounded
I know Hermione is worried about me, yet I can't help the cold, distant expressions on my face. Nor, can I fill the silence that hangs every time someone tries to talk to me.
You know (You know you know you know)
That I'm here to save you
I've lived a life full of pain ever since my parents died. I don't know how to live without that pain
You know (You know you know you know)
I'm always here for you
I wasn't really surprised when those brawny Healers dragged Ron off to a rehab.
I can't believe she's forcing me to go to muggle self help classes, by wand point!
I know (I know I know I know I know)
That you'll thank me later
Damn it! Can't she see all I need is some type of pain? I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all.

It wasn't supposed to be this hard to live after He died. It was supposed to be relatively easy, but things are never as easy as they seem.
Pain, without love
