She stared at his picture, hanging on the wall of her old house. Once apon a time, that house sported a loving family. No dust covered the floor, laughter echoed off of the walls. She sniffed and took the stage, where a 'Save the Earth' charity benefit concert was being held. The bright lights took over, the rush of being on stage again made her heart pound. Her hands went clammy and damp, nerves taking over. She took a deep breath and started to sing.

Na na, na na na, na na
I miss you, miss you so bad
I don't forget you, oh it's so sad
I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly

The faces of her friends, her family stared at her, awestruck. Her voice was like honey. It was sweet, and smooth. She loved the feeling of her vocal cords viberating with each different note that she struck.

The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
Ooooh

Na na na na na na na

I didn't get around to kiss you
Goodbye on the hand
I wish that I could see you again
I know that I can't

She took a deep breath, her voice started to shake. Tears started to track down her face. She looked at her daughter in the front row, her eyes wide, and watery.

Oooooh
I hope you can hear me cause I remember it clearly

The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
Ooooh

Her mind went blank, only the words coming in mind. Her brown eyes watery and sad. Her brown hair was falling in curtains over her face.

I had my wake up
Won't you wake up
I keep asking why
And I can't take it
It wasn't fake
It happened, you passed by

Now you are gone, now you are gone
There you go, there you go
Somewhere I can't bring you back
Now you are gone, now you are gone
There you go, there you go,
Somewhere you're not coming back

She was almost finished. Just a few more words. Just a few more.

The day you slipped away
Was the day i found it won't be the same noo..
The day you slipped away
Was the day that i found it won't be the same oooh..

She took a deep breath, it was the end of the song. Her heart was pounding in her ears. She could hear the rush of blood in her ears.

Na na, na na na, na na
I miss you

She finished the last word with a sigh. The audience was quiet, she just stared. She choked.

"Oh, god!" She ran off of the makeshift stage, to her old portrait room. She walked over to her generation of photos. Her wedding picture was hanging there, collecting dust. The cobwebs hung eerily through the room.

"I love you, Draco." She ran a hand over his face, smiling widely and happily. She was laughing in that picture. It was her favourite.

A gust of wind blew through the door. She turned, but only slightly.

In the wind, she was sure she heard a voice, a small voice saying:

"I love you too, Hermione."
