I'm With You

"I'm With You"

(In Ron's POV)

I watched her walk to him. The scene is what you would call perfect. The flowers, the guests, the pastor. I stood there uneasliy. Let it go I silently told myself. I gave her up. He had gotten to her first. I am an idiot. A fool. A fool in love.

I'm standing on the bridge

I'm waiting in the dark

I thought that you'd be here by now

As I stood silently my heart was being torn. She looked outstanding. The pastor was telling them to exchange vows.

"Do you, Hermione Granger, take Harry Potter to be your husband?" he asked. NO!! I demanded in my thoughts.

"I do," she said clearly. Then the wedding progressed. After they exchanged wedding bands applause arouse.

There's nothing but the rain

No footsteps on the ground

I'm listening but there's no sound

Everyone, including myself, watched as Hermione and Harry ride away in that muggle car called a limo. The wizards and witches apparated to the reception. The Muggles all drove away.

I pulled out a paper. The best man's speech. I read it, sighed, and Appararted to the party.

Isn't anyone trying to find me?

Won't someone take me home?

"Name?" the man asked.

"Ronald Weasley," I said. The man let me through. I saw happy faces and dancing people. I could see Harry and Hermione taking there first dance as happy couple. I had that sinking feeling. I was remembering when I found out Harry and Hermione were dating.

*FLASHBACK 4 YEARS AGO*

"So what should we do tonight?" I asked.

"I'm busy," Harry replied.

"Me too," Hermione replied.

It's a d*** cold night

trying to figure out this life

won't you take me by the hand

At 9:00 p.m. (cerfew time) I was walking up the stairs when I heard two voices.

"Do you think that he suspects anything?" a voice asked.

"Nah, don't sweat it," a voice replied. Then it came to me. Harry and Hermione.

"But I feel guilty. We are hiding a big secret from him. He'll be crushed when he finds out. Besides, I don't like sneaking behind his back dating," Hermione said. That's when my life ended.

*END FLASHBACK*

Take me somewhere new

I don't know who you are but I

I'm with you

"Now let's have our best man, Ron Weasley, say his speech," Harry said. I stood up and cleared my throat.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Wizards and witches. My name is Ron Weasley and I was Harry's first Hogwarts friend. So of course it wasn't a surprise to me that I'll be the best man. Don't let me sound conceited. I'm not. Anyway, I'd like to congradulate Harry and Hermione," I started off, reading from the paper in my hands.

"Let me just say that when they had asked me to make this speech for you, I didn't know what to say," I said into the scilence.

I'm looking for a place

I'm sreaching for a face

Is anybody here I know?

"I am NOT good at making speeches so I decided to let you in on a little secret. I knew about Harry and Hermione dating before they told anyone. I was listening in on one of their conversations one night by accident. At first I didn't know that was them. I'm sorry for that night," I confessed. I looked around the room and everyone was staring at me. I knew what they were thinking. How could I have done that to my friends. But I mentioned it was all an accident.

"I'd like to thank Harry and Hermione for our WACKY adventures. I never had that much fun in my life. But I guess, now that you are married, we won't have that much adventures. That's ok," I said.

Cause nothing's going right

And everythings a mess

And no one likes to be alone

"To conclude my speech, I'd like to give you two your wedding presents. I know that you both don't have a song so I am giving this one to you. It's called "I'm With You" sung by Avril Lavigne. Enjoy," I said finally glad to get off the stage.

Isn't anyone trying to find me?

Won't someone take me home?

As I walked away from everyone I saw Harry and Hermione dancing. I didn't want to really talk to anyone so I went to the bar. The bartender was kinda chubby with a beerbelly. He was helping another costumer. I looked at her and she looked so familiar. Then it came to me. Cho Chang.

"Cho?" I asked. She turned to me. She had these big sad eyes. I did kind of felt sorry for her. She used to date Harry. I remember the day they broke up.

*FLASHBACK 5 YEARS AGO*

"What do you mean it's over?" she had said. Harry looked at her and shook his head. He was having a hard time breaking up with her.

"Cho, you will be leaving Hogwarts at the end of this year. Don't you think you should move on? I think you should. Besides I know you still have feelings for Cedric," Harry said. The more he said the more Cho cried. She was so hurt that she had run away and didn't come out of her dorm the rest of the day. I watched as she ran off, bumping into everyone that stood in her way.

Then I saw Draco. Not just Draco. He was with Ginny. I couldn't believe my eyes. He came up to me and stuck out his hand. "I want to start over. My name is Draco Malfoy. Who are you?" he said. I couldn't believe my ears. Later I found out that Ginny and Draco were dating. Then I found out that Draco sacraficed his life for Ginny when Voldemort tried to kill her. I never got to thank him for making my sister happy. Ginny still hasn't forgot him.

*END FLASHBACK*

It's a d*** cold night

Trying to figure out this life

Won't you take me by the hand

Take me somewhere new

Cho looked at me and said, "Don't you feel sorry for yourself?" I was kinda taken back by this. I never thought she would speak. In front of her was a beer. I thought she was drunk.

"Umm...no?" I replied unsurely. But really I thought, yes I do. She married my best friend.

"I know you are lying, Weasley. I'm not that stupid. I know that you love or loved her. There's no denying it," she said, rather calmly.

"I guess I am lying. But why are YOU like that? You still love Harry don't you?" I replied. She looked back at the bar, not wanting to say anything.

"I guess I am too," she finally said. I looked at her and she was crying. I could imagine why. I don't know why I am not crying. I should be. But I have been holding it all in these past years. I remember the day she proposed.

I don't know who you are but I

I'm with you

I'm with you

*FLASHBACK LAST DAY OF SCHOOL*

"Now our class valdictorian, Hermione Granger, would like to say a few words," Dumbledore said.

"Classmates, family, and guests. My name is Hermione Granger and I was in Gryffindor. I had a rough last year with the finale, defeating Voldemort. Loved ones were lost in this horrible battle. In this I would like to honor Mr. Draco Malfoy. He had sacrificed his life to save another. Please remember him. But today wasn't to talk about the battle. It's about completing our years here at Hogwarts. I will never forget these past years. It had drama and happiness. Not everything in life could be all happy. I've been through losing a best friend. I'd just like to say I'm sorry," she said. I knew she was talking about me. I could feel eyes staring at me.

"To conclued this speech, I would like to ask one of my friends one question," she said. She took a deep breath.

"Harry, will you marry me?" she said. Of course he said yes. I nearly fainted. But he got the girl and I got an apology. It evens out right?

FAT CHANCE

*END FLASHBACK*

Why is everything so confusing?

Maybe I'm just out of my mind

Yeah Yeah

I stood up and Cho askes me, "What would you have done to change this day?"

"Everything," I replied. With that I walked away without saying any goodbyes. As I walked to my front door I saw a person standing in front of it.

"Why did you leave so early?" the person asked. I finally found out who it was, Hermione.

"I was just so tired. I wanted to get some sleep," I lied. She probably saw right through that. But she didn't show it.

"Oh I see. I just wanted to come by and find out why you left so early. Harry and I would like to thank you for your gift," she said.

"You're welcome," I replied. "You better get back to your party. You have guests to attended to."

"You're right. Well good night," she said right before she Apparated.

It's a d*** cold night

Trying to figure out this life

Won't you take me by the hand

Take me somewhere new

I don't know who you are but I

I'm with you

I'm with you

I entered the house silently. I was thinking to myself, wow she came to say good night. Then I wondered why didn't Harry come? Did he know that she came? The questions remain unanswered. But years from then I still remember that night. It may have not been the best night but it had been memorable.

Years later I realized that she was meant for Harry. But I couldn't help thinking what if. One things for sure though...

Won't you take me by the hand

Take me somewhere new

I don't know who you are but I

I'm with you

I'm with you

I'm with you.
