Author's Note: When it first came out, this song was used in countless
fics, usually as a romance song between characters. But when I listened to
it, it wasn't a romance song I could hear in it's lyrics, I heard this, the
fic you see now. I hope you like it! Please r&r!

Harry Potter walked alone through the crowds of Diagon Ally on the last
night of the summer before 7th year.
*Makin' my way downtown walkin' fast, faces pass an' I'm homebound
Starein' blankly ahead just makin' my way, makin' my way through the crowd*
Harry walked silently back to the Burrow, (where he was currently staying)
glancing ever so often at the little shops that lined the darkening
streets. For some reason, his thoughts were more on his parents then they
usually were. Probably because yesterday was his first ever birthday party
(that he could remember), and he had gotten a new photo of his mum and dad.
Harry walked over to a grassy hill away from the crowds and took the
picture out of his pocket as he sat down in the cool evening grass. It was
probably his favorite of his few pictures. It showed his parents, the
Murauders, and Harry all wearing party hats on Harry's first birthday. His
mum was holding him, and his dad was trying to feed Harry cake, while
Sirius and Remus were opening and playing with Harry's presents (Harry was
happy to see that Peter wasn't in the picture). Harry smiled as he tried to
picture what was going on the night of the photo.
*And I need you
And I miss you.*
Harry sighed, put the picture back in his pocket, and leaned back in the
grass, watching the first few stars appear in the slowly darkening sky.
*And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles if I could just see you
tonight.*
Harry watched more stars appear slowly in the vast navy blue sky as his
thoughts wandered to what he knew about his parents and what he didn't. He
wondered if they were up there. He wondered what they were doing now. Did
they miss him as much as he missed them? Did they....love him?
*It's always times like these when I think of you
and I wonder if you ever think of me.
'Cause everything's so wrong and it don't belong
livin' in your precious memory.*
Harry sighed again, got up, and brushed himself off. He glanced up one more
time at the pure black sky, now twinkling with hundreds of diamond stars.
Then, Harry proceeded to walk back to the Leaky Caldron where he would use
floo powder to get to the Burrow. He walked slowly however, as his thoughts
were still on his parents. He suddenly felt an incredibly strong longing to
be with his mum and dad and he felt a single, warm tear fall down his
cheek.
*'Cause I need you
and I miss you
and now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles if I could just see you
tonight.*
Harry got to the Leaky Caldron after a few minutes of walking down the now
mostly deserted road of Diagon Ally. Still when Harry got there, he didn't
feel like going back to the Burrow just then, so instead he stood outside
and looked at the heavens once more.
*And I, I don't want to let you know
I, I dwell in your memory
I, I don't want to let this go
I, I don't.
Makin' my way downtown walkin' fast, faces pass and I'm homebound
Starein' blankly ahead just makin' my way, makin' a way, through the
crowd.*
Harry again took out the picture of his first birthday and just looked at
the photo, wishing that he could just see his parents one more time. Just
once. Two tears suddenly plopped onto the picture, and Harry hurriedly
wiped the picture off, not wanting to cause it damage.
*An' I still need you
An' I still miss you
An' now I wonder
If I could fall
into the sky.
Do you think time
would pass us by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles if I could just see you...
If I could fall into the sky
do you think time would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand mile if I could just see you...*
Harry walked into the pub and quickly used floo powder to get to the
Burrow, not wanting anyone in the Leaky Cauldron to see his tears. When
Harry appeared in the Weasly's living room moments later, the whole Weasly
family (and Hermione) was there waiting for him. Harry had only told them
that he wanted to be by himself for a while that day, and he had
disappeared for hours!
Mrs. Weasly, who had been on the verge of a huge panic attack by that time,
currently had Harry in a rib crushing hug. Harry quickly told her he was
fine and he just wanted to go to bed. She let go of him and let him go
upstairs, but everyone stared after him, as if sure he was deadly sick or
something. Harry was incredibly glad, however, that no one followed him. He
really just wanted to be alone. Harry climbed into his bed and took out his
picture.
*If I could just hold you...*
He stared at it for a few more moments, then he hugged it close. "Good
night mum. Good night dad," he whispered. Then Harry fell asleep, still
holding the photo.
*Tonight.*
