A/N: Song: Evanescence - Before the Dawn. Pairing: Narcissa/Severus. AU. Oneshot. I don't own the song or the Harry Potter series (if I did, I would be very, very rich... yaay! )


She was lying on her bed. A lonely tear fell down her cheeck.

Meet me after dark again and I'll hold you
I am nothing more than to see you there

She grabbed her sheets and let tears fall.

And maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn

She slowly rose from her bed. The stone floor was cold as she stepped out from her bedroom. The hallway was empty.

If only night can hold you where I can see you, my love
Then let me never ever wake again

She stopped, memories of two lovers playing in her mind. "Severus..", she whispered to the air. Was he alright? Could she go to him?

And maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn

Her long, blond hair whirled behind her as she started running down the hallway. She could almost hear his voice, whispering her name..

Somehow I know that we cant wake again from this dream
It's not real, but it's ours

Suddently she stopped, in front of an old, wooden door. "Severus.. I am coming"

Maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn

She grabbed the handle and opened the door. Cold winter-air blew in.

Maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away

"Mommy?" she heard a voice behind her. Her four-years old son took her hand, "Why are you going out? Are you going to leave us?" Her eyes softened at the sight of her son, holding his dearest toy, a teddybear that she had given him a few days ago.. She lowed her head and closed the door. "Of course not, Draco.."

We'll be lost before the dawn
