Letters and Poems From Me to You
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling rocks. Enough said.
Summary: A series of letter and poems written by Hermione to Harry.
Authors Note (IMPORTANT): This is basically a collection of poems and letters that I wrote from Hermione to Harry. This has been something I've enjoyed, because it intrigues me to go into Hermione's perspective and see how she's feeling. These really aren't linked together to make a story, but aren't nearly long enough to post alone. I don't know what the protocol for something like this is, so I'm just going to leave its status at constantly "in progress."
That said, I will put new ones up probably when I go too long without posting a new fic, or when I simply want to because I'm sick of seeing it on my computer and not posting it. I'm not really sure how many there will be.
Anyway, I decided to post this selection first. It's a 48-line poem entitled "Green Eyes" and it's basically the huge mess of thoughts that flow through Hermione's head as she looks into Harry's eyes one night (they are already together at this point). Enjoy!

Green Eyes
By Hermione Granger
I look in your eyes and what do I see
But a sea of green staring back at me
There's also a fire of emotion inside
It's also something you're trying to hide
I keep searching for clue of what you're feeling
And all the while you don't realize you're stealing
My heart from me and I don't know what to do
I just know my world's empty when there is no you
So I try to stay close while you push me away
You never seem to have something to say
So I chatter on about studies and books
And I don't fail to notice other people's hidden looks
There's a pain deep inside me as I study your face
I'm searching for an opening but can't find a trace
I know that there's something you're not saying
I know in your head that night keeps replaying
I long to tell you that you aren't to blame
As you look at me too and I see your shame
But I know that there's nothing I can say
Though I do wish you didn't have to pay
For the sins of those so below you
The price of the debt goes to You-Know-Who
Voldemort, there, I said it at last
Being scared of a name is a thing of the past
It's wrong to fear a sound and nothing more
For that isn't what those lives were taken for
I know you think this is your battle to fight
But if you take a step back you'll see quite a sight
For standing behind you are your loved ones and friends
Hogwarts, the Order, the list doesn't end
Then look one more time, and beside you you'll see
The smiling face of little old me
And while I'm not the strongest of sorts
And the fight is so tall and I keep falling short
I promise to do the best that I can
Because, I said it once and I'll say it again
I love you, silly man, and that alone is enough
For me to stick by your side when the going gets tough
The road ahead seems hard and is yet to begin
But if we stay side by side we are sure to win
For, you see, there is something that makes me go on
When the nights are dark, and the days are long
It's rare to see it, and though it's been awhile
The thing keeping me going is the thought of your smile
For I when I see it, I know things are okay
That it will all work out, no matter what they say
And I think if I try to keep going strong
I'll someday put it back on your face, right where it belongs.
