My last breath

Song by evanescence

After the Dark Lord's body collided with the floor, Harry Potter started running towards a mortal wounded Hermione. His face was dripping blood, his leg was stabbed and his arms full of deep cuts, yet he didn't care, he had to save Hermione. He couldn't let her die. Not now. Not when he had discovered the great love he felt for her.

Hold on to me Love

You know I can't stay long

All I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid

Can you hear me?

Can you feel me in your arms?

He found her, and like a dying swan, not even death could rip her beauty. He knelt besides her and started cleaning her bloody wounds. Moments later she opened her eyes weakly and Harry took her in his arms.

"I don't want to go, Harry."

"I won't let you."

"But I know its close, I know I have to leave. I'm so sorry…I love you." She said whispered softly. Harry held her closer and stroked her face.

"I love you too." Harry didn't know what to say, for that he also knew that she was making an effort to last a little longer. Her heavy breaths broke his heart.

Holding my last breath

Safe inside myself

Are all my thoughts of you?

Sweet ruptured by light

It ends here tonight

Harry ripped a piece of his own shirt to use it as a tourniquet on Hermione's wounds. She started coughing violently. Blood had gotten inside her lungs.

"Hermione, I should've told you long ago, I love you so much…I couldn't tell you. I was too afraid. Now I regret ever shutting this feelings up. Not being brave enough…"He said wiping his own tears.

"Doesn't matter. We loved each other, in silence but we did and I'm very grateful for it." She said with a faint smile on her lips.

I'll miss the winter

A world of fragile things

Look for me in the White Forest

Hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)

I know you hear me

I can taste it in your tears

"You always see the bright side of things, even when you're almost…gone. "He couldn't do it. He couldn't say it. Everyone he ever loved were dead, even the Weasley's. Hermione took his hand and said:

"Even if I die, I'll always be with you." Saying this, he leaned upon her lips. Those perfect lips longing to let go of her last breath of life. Their lips touched, Harry and Hermione knew it was supposed to be like this, they were meant to be together, just like now, like that forever.

Holding my last breath

Safe inside myself

Are all my thoughts of you

Sweet ruptured by light

It ends here tonight

They didn't want that magical moment to stop. They didn't want to confront reality, they wanted to get lost in the never-ending paths of Love.

Harry pulled out from the kiss and looked into her eyes. Fear. She was afraid of death and afraid of leaving Harry alone. Hermione whimpered softly as Harry tried to examine her wounds. They were made by a sword, a rusty one. He started crying when he saw there was no way he could get her out of this one.

Closing your eyes to disappear

You pray your dreams will leave you here

But still you wake and know the truth

No one's there

All of a sudden, it started snowing. Hermione closed her eyes, feeling the chilly breeze stroking her body. Harry lifted her up and their lips collided for the last time. Harry felt her skin cold. Seconds later they broke apart.

"Happy joy to die…with your…kiss." Hermione said. Moments later, their biggest fear came real, she breathed her last breath.

Say goodnight

Don't be afraid

Calling me, calling me as you fade to black.
