[Verse 1] First year, she raised her hand so high While I was busy making jokes fly She corrected me with that know-it-all glare But something in her eyes said she cared Potions and trolls, we fought side by side You saved my life with that clever mind I was thick as a troll, couldn’t see what I felt Till the Yule Ball broke me, and my heart just melted [Pre-Chorus] You cried in the bathroom, I was too blind to see The brightest witch of our age was waiting on me [Chorus] It took six years of bickering, six years of fire Six years of birds and “Emotional Range” jabs and desire Through Horcruxes and heartbreak, through war and through pain You were my always, Hermione Jane From the library lights to the end of the fight I love you—yeah, I got there… eventually, all right? [Verse 2] Fifth year, you wore that perfume just to tease I turned red as my hair, weak in the knees You said “Ronald, you’re hopeless,” but smiled when you said it Every scolding you gave me, I secretly treasured it Lavender was noise, you were the song underneath When you attacked me with birds—Merlin, I finally breathed Jealousy’s ugly, but it made me confess You’re the only one, ‘Mione, who ever made sense [Chorus] It took six years of bickering, six years of fire Six years of “bloody hell” and “you’re impossible” and desire Through the Department of Mysteries, through the tent in the rain You were my always, Hermione Jane From the common room couch to the Battle’s last light I love you—took me ages, but I got it right [Bridge] In the Room of Requirement, when the flames closed in You grabbed my hand and we jumped— That was the moment everything began No more pretending, no more running away Just you and me and the words we couldn’t say Then in the Great Hall, when it all fell quiet I pulled you close and kissed you like I’d die if I didn’t try it You kissed me back, and the whole world knew Ronald Weasley finally caught up to you [Final Chorus] No more six years of waiting, no more almosts and mights Just a lifetime of mornings and a lifetime of nights With Crookshanks on the sofa and books stacked to the ceiling Rose and Hugo laughing—our love finally healing From the library lights to the Burrow’s warm glow I love you, Hermione—I always did know (Just took me a war and a half to say it out loud) But I’m yours, brilliant witch… I’m so bloody proud [Outro] It’s always been you… From page one to the end. It’s always been us, My love, my best friend.
