The Last Goodbye

A/N: I guess you could take this as a PU of WWB but it’s not exactly that. Oh well! Enjoy.

A/N 2: I saw Elephant the other day, and then Fahrenheit 9/11. And to that, it added up what happened in Russia to those school kids. I was nostalgic and sad because of that. So I wanna dedicate this to all those who died before their time because of some crazy sons of bitches (yes, with all the words). To all those who couldn’t say their last goodbyes to those they loved.

The Last Goodbye

Dime si el dolor despierta el alma

Dime si es capaz, de despertar el corazón

Ni todo el rencor ni la venganza

Nos va a poder calmar las ganas

De ver de nuevo aquellas caras

Dime si el dolor abre una puerta

Dime si es capaz de despertar el corazón

Busca a tu señor, a quien tú quieras

Quien iba a pensar

Que esa mañana era el último adiós

.- “El último adiós” (Gianmarco)

Tell me if pain wakes the soul

Tell me if it’s capable of waking the heart

Not even spite, not even revenge

Will be able to calm the urge

To see those faces again

Tell me if pain opens a door

Tell me if it’s capable of waking the heart

Seek your lord, whoever you need

Who would’ve thought?

That morning would be the last goodbye

.- Translation of the lyrics “El Último Adiós” by Gianmarco

He was gone, he was gone and she just had the feeling he wasn’t coming back. Sitting on the windowsill, Hermione stared out the window in hopes he would just appear, floating in the middle of the dark night.

She held her knees against her chest and rested her chin on them; her long locks of brown hair covered her shoulders and part of her knees. Maybe if she stayed there long enough and she wished it long enough, he would be back in one piece. Her face dropped and she started sobbing softly, feeling stupid for believing what he had said.

Her vision was blurred when she looked up, but she was sure of what she was seeing, it was Harry, floating in front of her. But he can’t fly, can he? He floated closer to her, she couldn’t feel his warm breath, nor smell his skin. She tried to touch him but her hand went through. He was frowning in concern.

‘Why are you crying?’ Harry asked

’Because you’re gone’

‘Why are you so choked up?’

’From loneliness’

’Why are you squeezing my memory so tight. And your mind seems to be wandering why am I not back. You know this is how it has to be, it’s safer for you’

’I love you so much!’

’Why?’

’Don't be so hard-headed, stop doubting me! It doesn't matter what the future holds I'm not afraid I just want to love you’

’Don't love me, because I have nothing to offer.’ He seemed mortified, but there it was, the same determination when he had told he would always love her.

’You don't think it's right for us to spend this time together?’ She couldn’t hold her tears back, this wasn’t fair at all.

’Don't love me because I know it couldn’t be!’

’If you don't think I deserve your love, then don't love me. But I'm going to stay...’

Harry sighed. ‘Don't love me because I'm lost, because I have to change the world, because it's my destiny. You know this is impossible‘

‘Don't love me to be dying in a war of regret. Don't love me to hold me back I want to rise above this love deserves to soar through the sky’

’I don't know what to say. That's the truth. When people want to, they can really hurt you’

‘If you and I part now, it won't matter to anyone else. In this big world don't leave me all alone’

Harry’s voice broke at this last words and he stretched his hands as to touch her cheek. ‘Don't leave me...don't leave me. Don't listen when I say "don't love me"’

’Don't leave me. Stop breaking my heart with that "Don't love me."’ She loved him more than anything but she didn’t want to endure anymore pain.

’Don't love me, I'm begging you to leave me’

’You know very well I can't do that. It's useless, I'll always love you’

’Don't love me; I'll only make you suffer. My heart has turned cold with this’

Hermione looked away; she was starting to hate for the first time in her life. Hate Sirius for going through the veil, hate Ron for dying, hate Draco for turning back to the dark side and betraying them after everything. ‘Don't love me to run away from your sadness. I want you to love me because you love me’

’Don't love me, one day we'll soar with each other and be together forever’

She couldn’t believe how easily he could make her will falter, he was the only person able to do that, and he was doing it right now. ‘This love is like the sun that comes out after a terrible storm’

Harry smiled softly and Hermione smiled back. ‘Like two comets in the same galaxy,’ they both said at the same time.

Harry looked away and bit his lip. ‘Don't love me, Hermione, don’t’

’Please don’t say that’

’Don't love me… but I’ll always love you.’ He was starting to vanish.

Hermione desperately reached out to prevent him from doing so, but it was useless. ‘Harry!’ she cried to the cold air and then looked away, tears running down her face freely. How could he do something like that? How could he just walk away from her after everything they’d been through? She didn’t understand, and she never would.

A/N: I was feeling really depressed and I heard this song (in Spanish). The idea came to my mind, I translated the song and here is the product of it. I hope you enjoyed it, even though it’s kinda heart-breaking.
