Life will go on,
And I am here for you.
3 months since that day and he was trying. Life went on, he found, even when he didn't want it to. It had been 3 months since Fred, since Remus and Tonks, since he lost so much but gained a future. He was trying to move on, but it wasn't that easy.
Through the darkest of nights, and lightest of dawns
Through Joy, through Pain, through the Past and Present
I am here for you.
It was the night that gave him the most trouble, during the day he could almost forget, almost be normal. He avoided sleep as much as he could, hoping to be free of the nightmares which plagued him. It was when she started sleeping with him that he finally found rest. He sought her touch to calm him. She touched him to calm herself.
When your eyes grow dark with memories
I am here for you
He could never talk about it. When someone brought it up, a reporter or just a tactless observer, his eyes would shadow and he would get lost. The memories were too strong and there were too many for him. So long, he fought, and lost so much. He could only talk to her for some reason, and it was only her who could pull him from the depths of his mind. When his eyes clouded over with memories, with pain, they would only focus on her.
When your eyes light up with new found hope
I am here for you
It was Teddy who first made a spark return to Harry's eyes. It was Ginny who kept it there. It was the announcement of the baby that made Harry believe everything would be alright. It was James Sirius Potter who solidified the hope in his heart. It was when Harry became a father that he was ready to let go and live again.
As you let your life go on
I am here for you
Albus Severus Potter was Harry's tribute to both the past and the future. He wanted to remember the two men who were so vital to Harry's past and who died for hope of the future. He knew that, though he has lost a lot, he gained so much more. It was Ginny who suggested the name. It was Ginny who went to the portrait with Harry to tell his old mentor. It was Ginny who understood what it meant to him. It was always Ginny.
As you see new life come to this world
I am here for you
The arrival of Lily Nymphadora Potter was born with a fury only a daughter of Ginny Weasley and Harry Potter could have. Born with a vengeance in to the world by her father's hand, it was Lily who made Harry's heart completely whole again. He knew she would have him wrapped around her little finger from that day on, and he didn't really care. She was perfect. And she looked exactly like her mother.
As you remember those who've gone
I am here for you
As he trudged in to the grave yard at Godric's Hollow, he easily found what he was looking for with an air of someone who had made this trip countless times before. As he knelt before the graves with his tiny daughter in his arms he smiled at the markers. As he introduced baby Lily to his parents, as he did with each of his children, he swore to be the parent he knew they would have been, if they could have. As he left the graveyard he casually wondered what it was about Potter men and redheads.
While you grow older
I am here for you
As he watched the train leave with his two sons aboard he thought back to their births and wondered when he became so old. It seemed like only yesterday he stood in the Great Hall in victory over Voldemort, only yesterday when he died and lived again. And yet so many years had past, nearly a lifetime. He knew time would only go on, and he would only grow older, but for now he chose to live in denial that his baby girl would ever be anything but.
While you never forget, no matter how long ago
I am here for you
Every anniversary it seemed like the day that it happened. He could always smell the smoke, always see the body laying in the Hall, always remember the feel of the killing curse as it struck his chest. Every year on this day he felt as if he were seventeen again and had just fought the battle of his life. Every year on this day Ginny stood by his side, remembering herself but also just being there with him, for him. Without her he would probably drown in the memories. Without her, none of it would have been worth it at all.
Through every day, and every night, through life, and death
I am here for you.
As the years past they always stood side by side, and even on this day they lay together, always together. They knew it was time but neither wanted to leave the other. As they lay, not a whisper between them, they heard each breath and felt each heartbeat. As life went on, death grew nearer. Harry turned to Ginny, with love in his eyes, and did as he has so many years before. With a simple, passionate kiss, their souls left this world for the next . Together.
A/N: Don't be mad that they die, in the story they're really old. Everyone has to die eventually. In my mind they're reaaaalllly old. Long, natural life. No flames, thanks. PLEASE REVIEW!
