(AN: Taken From Rascal Flatts Version of What Hurts the Most)
"Sniff," a sad Hermione stepped away from a grave outside of Hogwarts.
"You will be missed Professor," she told the headstone.
I can take the rain on the roof
Of this empty house
That don't bother me.
Hermione apperated back to her now empty flat before the rain started up.
I can take a few tears now and then
And just let them out
One solitary tear fell from her eye.
I'm not afraid to cry
Every once in a while
Even though going on
With you gone
Still upsets me
She didn't hear the floo go off and didn't notice him until his arms were around her.
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do.
"I miss him so much,' Hermione said.
"So do I," Draco said.
It's hard to deal with the pain
Of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doing it
It's hard to force that smile
When I see our old friends and
I'm alone
"Thanks Draco for being there for me at the funeral."
"It was nothing. You saved me during the Final Battle, it was the least I could do."
Still harder
Getting up
Getting dressed
Living with this regret
But I know
If I could do it over
That night she kept dreaming about how he died. After Nigini bite him and than he fell to the ground. His eyes staring at her.
"I love you," he whispered.
Hermione awoke with a start. Her pillow and face wet with tears. His voice echoing in her head.
I would trade
Give away
Tell the words
That had stay
In my heart
That I'd left unspoken
Hermione was back at his grave the next day. Her tears were flowing freely and she didn't care who saw them.
"He fought for good Hermione, he died like a soldier should. In battle. Fighting for those he loved and for the things he thought were right," Draco said coming up behind her.
"But did he have to leave me? What will I tell our child when it's born?"
"Tell her that he would have loved her and he died making sure the world would be safe when her time came."
Hermione stood up and Draco embraced her.
What hurts the most

Hermione turned back to the grave and blew a kiss at it.
What hurts the most

"You will be missed Professor. More than you realize," Hermione said as she turned away.
Not seeing that loving you
That's what I was trying to do.
On the grave the Hermione had left, these words were written upon it:
Severus Snape
1965-2007
"There will never be foolish wand waving in your class!"
Loving Friend, Teacher, Fiancé, and Father.
R.I.P.
Love,
The staff, students, order, and everyone else that you helped.
