A/N: I know that my on-going story, All Because of You is still way far from being finished but I'm too excited to start writing this angsty Harmony romance. So here it is… This will be a short fan-fic though just around 10 – 15 chapters. I'm also planning to write another Harmony rom-com that's going to be just a 3 -5 chap fanfic. For readers of All Because of You, rest assured that the story will still be continued since I have a lot of plans for that tale.

Chapter One: Harry's Song
September 19, 2007
Ronald Weasley entered the main fireplace at Potter Manor. Today is Hermione Granger's birthday. Hermione his best friend and ex-girlfriend who they haven't seen in the last five years after she left the wizarding world. They tried looking for her, but all their efforts were in vain. Apparently, looking for the smartest witch of their generation is no easy feat. Of course, he was greatly affected by Hermione's disappearance. It was his best friend, Harry Potter, slayer of the Dark Lord Voldemort, who took the toll of Hermione's disappearance to heart. Harry never gave up the search for Hermione and he's never been the same ever since she disappeared. Everyone else has slowly accepted Hermione's loss from the wizarding world except Harry. It seemed his best mate was operating on autopilot. He was alive but he's not living. Ron sometimes blamed Hermione for going away but he can't get mad at her. After all, Hermione suffered and when she can't take the pain, she went away. So, Ronald Weasley being the supportive friend he was, decided to commiserate with Harry in celebrating Hermione's 28th birthday, wherever in the world she may be. He knew that Harry decided to hold Hermione's celebration in the library since he knew that it was her favorite part of the manor. He was about to enter the library when he decided to observe Harry from outside seeing that his friend seemed to be celebrating an intimate moment.
"May you have a happy birthday, Hermione. You're 28 now. Maybe you're married, though I hope not. I wonder how old our baby is right now? It's been five years. Do you still think of me 'Mione? Isn't five years enough? Why can't you just come back? I'll do anything just to see you again!", Ron heard Harry's monologue and he covered his mouth to avoid making a sound. Harry and Hermione have a baby? Is that the reason why she left? What did Harry do to Hermione? No wonder he's the most affected person when she left.
"Hermione, what must I do for you to forgive me? Hell! I don't even care if you forgive me or not! I just want to see you again! If only I can see you again then I will grovel at your feet and I'll do anything for you to forgive me. My life is meaningless without you in it! Hermione, wherever you are, I beg you. Please come back to me. I need you in my life!", he heard Harry continue to sob as he was caressing a picture of Hermione. Merlin, Hermione! Wherever you are, I do hope you can feel Harry's suffering. The poor bloke needs you Hermione, so please come back, Ron closed his eyes and prayed for her to return.
A twenty-seven-year-old Harry Potter was standing at the center of the library in his home at Potter Manor. Every year on her birthday, he would light a candle for her and then spend some time looking at his memories of her in his pensieve. Every year since she disappeared without a trace from the last time he saw her back in May 9, 2002, he would celebrate all her special days at the library. From her birthday, to Valentine's day, the anniversary of the day she last saw him. He had a special cabinet inside the library where he stored all her birthday and Christmas gifts in the hopes that he would be giving them to her once he finds her again. He also had a separate cabinet for his gifts to his child, a child that he doesn't even know the gender of.
"Wherever you are Hermione, this song is for you. I hope you can feel how sorry I am and how much I love you even if we're far apart", he whispered as made his way to the grand piano. The Potter Manor's grand piano was moved to the library since Hermione loved to play whenever she used to visit. Her voice used to uplift his spirits especially when he was nursing a broken heart when Ginny broke up with him. When Hermione left, he spent so much time in the library that one day he just found the courage to learn how to play. So now, he plays music that he dedicates for the only woman he's ever going to need to make his life complete.
(Bright lights, fancy restaurants
Everything in this world that a man could want
Got a bank account bigger than the law should allow
Still I'm lonely now)
If only Hermione could hear me right now. This song really is perfect for my life right now. I've got everything I want. I have a lot of money, I've got this huge manor, I've got my career as an auror going well. I have everything I want except her, my Hermione. I'm not even sure if I could still call her mine, what if she's with someone else now? Merlin! Please don't let that happen.
(Pretty faces from the covers of the magazines
From their covers to my covers wanna lay with me
Fame and fortune still can't find
I'm a grown man runnin' out of time)
As the Head auror, slayer of Voldemort, I can get any woman I want since a lot of them keep throwing themselves at me, but they're not you, Hermione. I want only you. I need only you in my life. I am getting older each year and people tell me to settle down and find a nice woman to build a family with. But how can I do that when I know I can have the family I want with you and our child? Hermione, please come back to me…
(Even though it seems I have everything
I don't wanna be a lonely fool
All of the women, all the expensive cars
All of the money don't amount to you
So I can make believe I have everything
But I can't pretend that I don't see
That without you girl my life is incomplete
Said without you girl ahh
Listen)
(Your perfume, your sexy lingerie
Girl I remember it just like it was on yesterday
A Thursday you told me you had fallen in love
I wasn't sure that I was)
I can't forget how you looked when you're writhing under me. I can't forget how you smell like vanilla, parchment, and jasmine. That unique scent that used to comfort me knowing you're just around. I still can't believe I bollocksed it up after I took your virginity in my drunken state and when you told me you loved me, I only said that I loved you as a sister. That was the stupidest mistake I have ever made. Not realizing you were right there all along. Not realizing that you were the perfect girl. Not knowing that my dream girl was just there masquerading as my best friend. And when I realized it, you were gone…
(It's been a year, winter, summer, spring and fall
But bein' without you just ain't livin' ain't nothing at all
If I could travel back in time
I'd relive the days you were mine)
It's been five years Hermione. Five long lonely years without you by my side. Not knowing where you are. Not hearing your voice. Not getting your Hermi-hugs. My life's been empty without you. If only I could undo everything. If only I could go back in time, I would treat you right and tell you how much I love you. But then again, when I traveled back in time before, I needed you to be with me so that I could be able to do it. See, Hermione? Can't you see how much I need you in my life?
(Even though it seems I have everything
I don't wanna be a lonely fool
All of the women, all the expensive cars
All of the money don't amount to you
I can make believe I have everything
But I can't pretend that I don't see
That without you girl my life is incomplete
Oh yeah that without you girl ahh)
(I just can't help lovin' you
But I loved you much too late
I'd give anything
And everything
To hear you say
That you'll stay)
The day I realized that I was indeed in love with you was on the very last day I saw you. You have been avoiding me ever since we slept together that fateful Valentine's Day. I tried to get a hold of you, but you always set up excuses. Then I remembered that you loved this musical Phantom of the Opera and you invited me to come along way before and so I went, hoping I could catch you there. And then I saw you, all glowing and beautiful. I was stunned by your beauty. It was like seeing you for the first time. And then I noticed that your body was fuller, and your belly rounded. I even had the balls to ask if the baby was mine. And then you slapped me, hard on the cheek. And at that moment I knew I was in love. That was the last time I saw you. I've spent the last five years looking for you, but it seems that you've disappeared without a trace. Merlin! I need a miracle. I can't continue living like this. I need to see you again, Hermione!
(Even though it seems I have everything
I don't wanna be a lonely fool
All of the women, all the expensive cars
All of the money don't amount to you
I can make believe I have everything
But I can't pretend that I don't see
That without you girl my life is incomplete)

(Without you girl
Without you girl my life
Without you girl my life, my life is incomplete
Without you girl my life is incomplete
Oh yeah, my life is incomplete
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah)
"I'll do anything, Hermione. Just come back to me!", Harry wiped the tears that were flowing down as he sang to her and remembered his regrets. Since he was so caught up in his pain and misery, he didn't notice his best mate, Ron Weasley, slowly closed the door to the library and left Potter Manor via the floo. I promise you that we'll find Hermione, Harry. I can't bear seeing you like this, Ron arrived home with that promise in his heart. He now understood why Harry's been living on autopilot ever since Hermione left. Harry Potter was madly in love with Hermione Granger and they even have a child together. Sure, he doesn't know the entire story of what happened between his best friends, but all secrets will come out in the open at the right time. He just hoped and prayed that whenever Harry finds Hermione, she's still unattached. Because Ron knew that if Harry finds Hermione married to someone else, it will be the death of his best mate. Should I talk to the gang about my recent discovery? So that I could convince them to help me in looking for Hermione? After all, she has clearly hid her tracks very well these past five years. Maybe they need more heads to brainstorm on Hermione Granger's whereabouts. She's not the brightest witch of her generation for nothing after all, of course looking for her will be bloody difficult!
