2 am and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake,
Can you help me unravel my latest mistake,
I don't love him, winter just wasn't my season
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize,
Hypocrites, you're all here for the very same reason

There's a tapping at her window and she wakes up slowly, not completely sure if it's a dream or reality. She quickly reaches for it, hoping her dorm-mates haven't woken up to the annoying sound. "Hello" She says, trying to quiet the bird. She reads the letter.
"Hermione, it's Ginny. I need to talk to someone, and you said I could call you no matter what time it was. You said it, you can't take it back now." Hermione relaxes; it's her best friend.

She starts to write a response "Hey, what's up? And why are you owling me at two am?"

She then continues to read the letter "Hermione, I made a huge mistake."

"Oh no…"

'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button girl,
So cradle your head in you hands
And breathe, just breathe,
Whoa breathe, just breathe

Hermione falls back asleep, having sent a response to help her friend.


May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
Just today he sat down to the flask in his fist,
Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year.
Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while,
But my God it's so beautiful when the boy smiles,
Wanna hold him, maybe I'll just sing about it.

Hermione walks out of the dorm room and walks up to her boyfriend Draco. "Draco? Hey, how's it going? Draco, are you drunk? Why do you do shit like that Draco?" Hermione listens to his mumbled response as the argument between boyfriend and girlfriend starts up again.


Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button boys,
So cradle your head in your hands,
And breathe, just breathe,
Whoa breathe, just breathe

The next day, Hermione is holding hands with Draco, both of them smiling. She's happy they seem to understand each other. And God, Draco's smile is so gorgeous.

There's a light at each end of this tunnel, you shout
But you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
These mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If you only try turning around.

The next day at school, she's told Draco died in a broom crash the night before. He wasriding drunk.


2 am and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, its no longer
Inside of me, threatening the life they belong to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them, however you want to

Hermione stayed up late that night. She didn't go to any of her classes. She just cried. She cried and cried her chocolate eyes out. She couldn't stop. She couldn't get everything out of her. She had lost one of her best friends, her boyfriend, and her only true love. Draco was gone. Forever.


Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.
And breathe, just breathe
Whoa breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe

At his funeral three days later, Hermione is wearing all black. She isn't talking to anyone. She isn't even crying. Hermione is learning how to slow down. And how to breathe.

Hope you liked it. It's done to the Annie Nalick song, Breathe (2 AM). Review please. I won't be adding to this one, but I'm working on something a lot longer. As in, a story-story.
