My Immortal
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
Ginny stumbled backwards into the cave, catching herself. She briefly wondered why she was even running from her family in the first place. But there was no time tot hink about it now. Mrs Weasley would be up here any second. She could move surprisingly fast for someone her age. It must have been all those years chasing after Fred and George that had done it. Ginny turned and began to flee but Mrs Weasley was right behind her now. The last thing Ginny heard was "Stupefy" before a flash of red light came and the darkness washed over her.
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When Ginerva finally came around some time later, it was on the Weasley's back verandah. She was lying on the old swinging seat, which was covered in crookshank's fur. Black spots danced in front of her eyes as she sat up. Sitting on the floor waiting for her to regain conciousness was Hermione, Molly, Ron and Harry. Ron's face was red, his eyes narrowed. He beagn to tear into her "Howcould you do this Ginny? It's sick and perverted, replusive even and i shall no longer call you my sister, you filthy dyke" he said, rather calmy, considering his ears were flushed an ugly red.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
These words cut into Ginny like a knife. She had never expected to hear those words from her own brother. She forced back the tears and looked up defiantly at him. But before she could speak Hermione whispered "Mrs Weasley, i don't feel very well" Mrs Weasley turned towards her, as did everyone else. Mrs Weasley placed her hand on Hermione's forehead and said "Oh dear, you're burning up". Hermione nodded and placed her hand up against her mouth, almost throwing up. Ron placed his arms around her and Hermione fell against him, her eyes rolling in her head.
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
As Hermione fell limply against Ron, Ginny realised too late what had been happening. Ginny screamed in horror just as everyone else realised what had happened. Ron placed his index and middle fingers on her neck, looking alarmed when he could find no pulse. He began to perform CPR, pushing hard against her chest. Harry pinched her nose and pulled open her mouth, blowing into it. They continued this long after they should have. Molly was crying, trying to pry the two boys away. All their efforts were fruitless and unsuccesful. Hermione Jean Granger was dead.
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
Ron and Harry collapsed into a sobbing heap. Tears trickled rapidly down Ginny's porcelain face. Suddenly Ron stood up and lunged at Ginny. He placed his hands around her throat and began to yell "You killed her!!! Hermione never did anything to you and you did this to her, She didn't deserve to die Ginny" Harry grabbed at Ron tugging as hard as he could but he could not tear him away. Finally Mrs Weasley realised what was happening. She helped pull Ron off Ginny before slumping back down, sobbing as though she had lost a child of her. It was like Fred all over again.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
The next few days passed in a blur, going to fast for anyone to catch up. Finally the day of Hermione's funeral arrived. As Ginny sat in the church's pews, the pallbearers carried the coffin in. The pallbearers were Ron, Arthur, George and Harry. "Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today to pay our respects to Hermione Jean Granger, taken from us in the prime of life by an unkown illness" The minister said. Ginny felt her heart breaking. This all seemed so final. Ron and Harry sat up the front, tears streaming silently down their faces as they struggled to contain their emotions.
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
When it came time to lower the coffin into the cold, hard ground, Ginny completely lost it. She ran over to grave and began to yell " don't leave me Hermione, don't leave me!" Harry tried to pull her away but she fought him off still crying and yelling. Finally Ron managed to pull her away, still screaming. As Ron pulled her away from the grave she felt as though she had lost her soulmate, even though she had only been with Hermione for a mere three months. She broke away from Ron and sat under an old oak tree, sobbing her heart out. She had lost her one true love.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
