Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter! Or the song "Run" by Snow Patrol.
This has been running around in my head for months ever since I first hear the song "Run" by Snow Patrol. My main focus right now is my story The Game, but if I ever get to it I might continue this. Tell me what you think!
Run
She was wrapped in his arms, sobbing quietly, while she held onto him. His eyes glistened with unshed tears of his own.
"Hermione," He finally said. "Love, I have to go." Hermione's hold on him got tighter. "I know, I don't want to, but it's the only way." He said, trying to convince, not only her, but himself as well. "They'll kill us both if we stay together and I can't stand the thought of what they'd do to you. I love you though you know that. Once this is all over I'll find you. Then we can be happy and be together."
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we
really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In
all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every
single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here
Hermione's grip on him loosened and she turned from him slightly. He couldn't bring himself to look at her. He had thought this over so many times. It was the only way for her to be safe. Oh, if only there was a way for them to escape together to be safe and happy. Away from war and death and stupid prejudices.
Light up,
light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my
voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And
we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you
can't raise your voice to say
She finally turned her head up to meet his eyes, but he just couldn't bring himself to look at her. He wanted to so badly. He didn't know when he'd get to see her again.
"Draco." She whispered, softly, begging him to look at her. Oh, God, it was all he could do to hold back the tears that he knew were coming. "Please, don't leave me."
Draco choked on his tears but some escaped his eyes anyway and slid down his cheek to the ground below.
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes
it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly
do
"Please, Draco!" Her voice held more panic in it now. "Don't go! We can run away and hide together! Somewhere far away from here."
He turned and finally looked at her. "Hermione, you don't know how badly I wish we could do that. But they'd find us where ever we went."
Behind them a whistle blew signaling the last call for all passengers boarding the train.
Hermione shrieked and clung to Draco, desperately. "Don't go!" She cried, hysterical now. "Draco, don't go! Don't go!"
Draco wrapped his arms around her tightly. "Hermione, I have to! Please, this is already hard enough for me!"
"Draco… Draco…" She whispered. "If, if not for me… then… then for our child?" She said, so quietly he almost didn't hear her.
He froze. "What? You're… you're…?" He looked into her eyes. She nodded. "When? When did you find out?" He asked.
"This morning." She answered.
Light up, light up
As if you have a
choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside
you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can
hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
"Oh my God. Oh my God!" Draco cried. "Hermione! Oh, Hermione!" He cupped his hands around her face and kissed her, again and again. "Oh, Hermione, what do we do?"
"Let's go away. Somewhere so far away from here that they'd never think of looking for us." She said.
"Run away? Where's your Gryffindor courage?" He asked, jokingly.
"Fuck Gryffindor courage. I'm sick of fighting. I just want to get away from it and leave it all behind. Let's go to the other side of the world. To New Zealand even! Oh, Draco let's just go!"
Slower slower
We
don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To
get out of our little heads
"Alright. Okay, let's go!" Draco grabbed her hand and his luggage and they left the train station. "How are we going to get there?" He asked, realizing that they had no real plan and not much time. As soon as the Death Eaters realized that he wasn't going to show they would begin searching for him.
"We'll fly. On an airplane." She said.
"What? One of those Muggle contraptions?" He asked.
"Yes. They'll never think of looking on a plane!" She said, excitedly. She hailed a taxi and they both got in. "To the airport." She told the taxi driver.
"You are crazy, Hermione Granger." Draco told her, but he was smiling. She smiled back. They were getting away. They were going to be free. Free to start a normal life, together.
Have heart my
dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few
days
Making up for all this mess
Light up, light up
As
if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be
right beside you dear
So? What do you think? Review!
