A/N: Harry isn't dead in this fic 1. Just A Boy ------------- Ordinary Day (from Hermione's POV) **Just a day, just an ordinary day Just trying to get by Just a boy, just an ordinary boy But he was looking to the sky And as he asked if I would come along I started to realize That every day he finds just what he's looking for Like a shooting star he shines And he said** To me he was just an ordinary boy, he wasn't the boy who lived he was just one of my best friends and the love of my life. He lived his life to the fullest even though he would soon face almost certain death. It's ironic, you know, a boy with the weight of the world on his shoulders trying to get me to loosen up a little, to stop being so serious. I was forever worrying about him while he was just trying to experience all he could before.... before the final battle. Before he left... **Take my hand Live while you can Though you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand** He taught me how to have fun, how to fully live life for once in my life!!! And it felt so great, everything was going so well. When I was with him I could forget about school work and the upcoming war. I could just focus on him... on us. **And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words Although they did not feel now For I felt what I had not felt before And you'd swear those words could heal And as I looked up into those eyes His vision borrowed mine And I know he's no stranger for I feel I've held him for all of time And he said** He was the same as any other boy in the world except he was mine. He acted like any other teenage boy, you would never know he was Harry Potter until you look into his eyes and see grief and pain, then you know he's not ordinary at all, he's brave and loyal and courageous. I love him for it. **Take my hand Live while you can now Though you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand Oh, in the palm of your hand** He helped me realize my dreams and I did the same for him. We helped each other, but now I can no longer help him... **Please come with me See what I see Touch the stars for time will not flee Time will not flee Can you see** I wish he could have just stayed a little longer... I wish i could have said good-bye. Most of all, i wish I could have told him that i loved him, for the first time. I guess it doesn't matter he knew I loved him more than anything in the world and he loved me... He has to come back, he just has to... I don't know what I would do if he...died. **Just a dream, just an ordinary dream As I wake in bed And the boy, that ordinary boy Was it all in my head? And he asked if I would come along It all seemed so real But as I looked to the door I saw that boy Standing there with a deal And he said** He went off to save the world, a little dramatic don't you think? My love, the hero of the wizarding world, my Harry. **Take my hand Live while you can now Though you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand Oh, in the palm of your hand Oh, in the palm of your hand** ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* (2 years later) He came back and we're a happy family now. Harry came back a few months later after defeating Voldemort, there was still much that he had to do, there were still many death eaters loose and many other evils to vanquish, but for now I think my husband and I will watch our daughter, Lily, grow up in a world where she doesn't have to watch her back day in and day out. She can be free... just like Harry and I once were... **Just a day, just an ordinary day Just trying to get by Just a boy, just an ordinary boy But he was looking to the sky** -->
