I remember stormy weather
The way the sky looks when it's cold
And you were with me
Content with walking
So unaware of the world
After the battle you were the one who pulled me away from Ron and Harry’s dead bodies. You were the one who put your arms around me and led me away from the battle. The rain fell around us mixing with my tears. I felt so cold but you had one objective. You needed to get me out of there. I didn’t think that either of us wanted to really think about what happened and what we saw that night. I had lost everyone that night.
Please don't drive me home tonight
'Cause I don’t want feel alone
Please don't drive me home tonight
'Cause I don't want to go
Tuesday morning
In the dark
I was finding out
Who you are
You took me back to your place. You made a fire and we just curled up on the couch trying to get warm, trying to forget the horrors of the war we had just participated in. There was no need for words. I could see in your eyes everything you wanted to tell me. I made me happy but at the same time scared me. I didn’t want to let people into my life. Not after Monday night. Not after the world I knew and the people in it died.
I took your picture
While you were sleeping
And then I paced around the room
If I had known then
That these things happen
Would they have happened with you?
You kissed me that night. I doubt you knew this but it kept me up all night. I couldn’t believe it had even happened. You go for girls who aren’t like me. You’re a pretty boy you need a gorgeous mate. You don’t need some bushy haired workaholic. You need a trophy wife. I never thought anyone would kiss me anyways. The only guys I let in my life after the Viktor Krum incident were intended to be and remain friends. We are friends. That is all. Friends don’t kiss each other. Then again friends don’t sit there and watch the other one sleep. I was guilty of that. You just looked so peaceful and angelic and it blew my mind that you could be like that despite all that had happened.
And if you turned around to see me and I was gone
You should have looked outside your window
'Cause the sun was coming up
The sun was coming up
I knew deep down that I wanted this. But you have to understand one thing. When I am around you I don’t know all the answers. I always know the answers. It scared me. I left as the sun rose. It was beautiful- just like you. Be assured Cedric that whenever I see the sun rise I will think of you and your kindness. If I can ever convince myself that I can belong with you I’ll be back. I’m so sorry Cedric.
Looking at the sun rise Hermione looked back at Cedric one last time placed her note on the table and walked out. Moments later Cedric woke up, saw she was gone, read the note and cried.
