You and Me

Hey, this is the third chapter, and probably the next to last one too. I hope you like it, understand it, or both. Listen to the song, it's better that way. Please review. I don't care if you hated and thought it was crap, or loved it and thought it was gold. Just review. I appreciate any and all comments and criticism.

Disclaimer: I'm getting tired of these, but...I don't own HP, or the song "You and Me" by Lifehouse.

What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

"Ron! Be quiet, somebody might hear you!" she whispered.

"So, what if they do? I want the whole world to know that I love you, Luna Lovegood," I said happily.

She just smiled and kept on walking up the hill towards the Shrieking Shack.

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

When we returned to Hogwarts after defeating You-Know-Who, Bill ran up to us to tell us the bad news. It seemed like half of our friends were either in critical condition or dead. Dad was killed by that creep Zabini, and Mum had gone insane. Poor Bill, Fleur had been cut across the chest. No one had noticed, so she bled to death. Then, Bill started listing off our friends. Colin Creevy, Cho Chang, Denis Creevy, Alicia Spinnet, Susan Bones, Luna Lovegood

All of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

I froze. Oh Merlin, anyone but Luna. Harry, sensing how much I wanted to know about her death, but couldn't ask in fear of making Hermione suspicious, asked instead. Quickly, Bill told us about what the Malfoys did. If Fred and George hadn't already taken them out, I think I would have hunted the world to find and do to them what they had done to my Luna. Instead, I settled for waiting until no one was looking and kicking their dead corpses in the groin.

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

Luna hadn't wanted anyone to know about us. Harry had always assumed it was me who wanted it to be a well kept secret, but it was her. She was the one who was concerned about Hermione. In truth, I hadn't even thought about how Mione would take it when we announced our relationship. All I thought about was the fact that the sooner we told, the sooner I could marry the girl I loved.

There's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right

Before we went to sleep that day, I thought Harry was going to talk to me about it, but he didn't. He didn't say anything. He just went to sleep. The next morning I woke up at 5 a.m. I journeyed down to Hogsmeade. There, I went to the Hog's Head and ordered a large fire whiskey. From that moment on, fire whiskey became my new best friend and my constant companion.

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove

The months after that were a blur of color and sound. Then, one day everything became clear. My fire whiskey bottles were missing, and there were two gigantic Healers standing in my doorway. The next thing I knew, they had dragged me to the fireplace, and flooed me to St. Mungo's. I soon found out that Hermione had placed me in a wizarding alcoholic's recovery program.

And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

A few days after entering the rehab program, I received an owl from Harry. Hermione was forcing him to go to some muggle life class, or something like that. He told me that he thinks Hermione knows about Luna and me, what we had. Those final words made me cry. I didn't cry when Luna died, not one tear, but that made me cry. Luna had been perfect for me, and Hermione must have known that. I guess it was kind of obvious considering I could never take my eyes off of Luna.

What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive

Again, PLEASE REVIEW!!! Thanx.
