Strange. I can hear your voice. But it can't
be. You are no longer. You can't speak to me.
But maybe you can.
I can hear you in my dreams; calling me,
tempting me to follow you.
I almost did.
But something… someone held me back.
I thought life wasn't worth living any more
with you gone. I didn't have the strength to go on… or the will. They all tried
to cheer me up… see the bright side. How do they say… 'the show must go on'?
What was one unfortunate victim if there were hundreds, thousands saved?
Nothing. Not to them. But to me it was
everything. That one night took away everything I lived for; every joy in my
life was gone with you.
Until now.
I hated him for doing this to I stI still hate
him. He's a monster and doesn't deserve to live while you don't. On some days I
imagine life differently… a life with you by my side. We had so many plans… all
shattered now.
My friends were great.
Ginny tried to distract me all the time, and I
forced a smile for her sake.
Harry talked to me about his parents, and
Sirius… But this isn't the same. He didn't know his parents and Sirius was like
a father to him. He didn't lose a friend, a lover, a soulmate… I forced a smile
for his sake.
Ron… well, he was still Ron. He never approved
of our relationship. He thought our marriage was nothing but some conspiracy to
torture him. But deep inside he understood – maybe better than anyone else –
was was going on. After the funeral he came up to me, held me close and told
me not to do it. He understood. Despite all the hatred and mistrust against
you, he still counted on you to save me. And you did. He thanked you for it, in
his own way. I smiled for his sake and wasn't sure if he would see through the
smiling façade.
It was about you and me together. In the dream,
I sit at home by the fire, waiting for you to return. When you finally walk
through the door, we embrace, hold each other tight for what s lis like hours.
I can feel your steady heartbeat and smell your scent… sandelwood and asphodel.
When I wake up, I can still feel your arms
around me and I can still smell you. I cry and just wish I could hold you like
this one more time. That I could talk to you and listen to your sarcastic
comments and…
I could think of thousand and more things I
would love to see you do and say. But it won't happen.
Every night since that final battle I take out
that vial. The violet potion looks harmless. No one would assume a deadly
poison could look this innocent.
Every night, I stare at the potion… and every
night I put it away again. And then I cry until I fall asleep, exhausted.
But now I have someone to live for.
Someone to care for.
I think you would have liked this. You'd
probably even hug Ron in a state of delirious joy.
What if I tell you that your wish does come
true at last? What if I tell you that you will have an heir?
Maybe our child will have your dark eyes or
your black hair or your… well, huge nose or your cutting sarcasm or your
delicate hands or…
I cannot promise you that everything will be
all right.
I cannot promise you that I won't cry again.
I cannot promisu thu that I won't be sad again.
But one thing I can promise you: Our child will
be proud of its father. I'll make sure of that.
~End~
A/N: Somewhere in the middle I thought it was
really sad, but towards the end there's this bit of hope when Hermione talks
about the baby. Well, I like it (of course I do, I wrote it…) And I hope you
e ite it, too.
If you want you can tell me what you think
(Review!), or email me. Feel free to flame me if you want (I don't care a bit…
I wrote it in the middle of the night, so it could be a little strange and if
you think you have to flame me for it, please do soJ)
