One Shot Song FF to 'The Sound of Silence'

Enjoy xox

'Hello darkness, my old friend

I've come to talk with you again

Because a vision softly creeping

Left its seeds while I was sleeping

And the vision that was planted in my brain

Still remains

Within the sound of silence'

Lucius threw her into the cell and closed the door leaving only the light from the grill to remind her where she was. Hermione sat crumpled in the corner of the Dungeon. She had given up scratching each day into the wall as it passed. 6 months had been etched into the cobblestones. She tried so hard to remember the faces of her friends, but after so long, all she saw was empty shadows of people who had left her behind.

'In restless dreams I walked alone

Narrow streets of cobblestone

'Neath the halo of a streetlamp

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

That split the night

And touched the sound of silence'

Each day she was taken upstairs, the Cruciatus curse filled her body, but after so many times of being tortured. She had learnt to numb herself from the pain. "Every time he cursed her he whispered 'i love you and i'm sorry' over her screams. Eventually Lucius brought her to another room. Then she saw all of them looking at her and she wished for the curse once more, for this would be worse.

'And in the naked light I saw

Ten thousand people, maybe more

People talking without speaking

People hearing without listening

People writing songs that voices never share

No one dare

Disturb the sound of silence'

Hermione felt his hands upon her. Everyone just kept quiet, not moving. They watched on as he did what he was told to do. He bent down to whisper in her ear. "Don't scream...I'm sorry...I don't have a choice"

'"Fools" said I, "You do not know

Silence like a cancer grows

Hear my words that I might teach you

Take my arms that I might reach you"

But my words like silent raindrops fell

And echoed in the wells of silence'

Back into the cell she went. Crying out but no one ever heard her. She had thought of taking her life many times. Inside she still had hope that he would save her. For he was the only one left who cared for her. He said he loved her. And he did, He arrived. Lucius' severed head in his hands. Which he threw down to the opposite corner of the cell.

Sirius carried her out of there. That place in which she was held, tortured and many other horrible things becoming nothing but a memory to be removed by Sirius and destroyed.

'And the people bowed and prayed

To the neon god they made

And the sign flashed out its warning

In the words that it was forming

And the sign said "The words of the prophets

Are written on the subway walls

And tenement halls

And whispered in the sounds of silence"'

Sirius and hermione married, her past friends never showed but would never be forgotten as the people who destroyed her life. Sirius was the only good thing that she had. Their future child within her belly was her own prayers answered. When their son was born, Hermione loved him and his silver hair more than anything in the world. It was then that Sirius too removed the memories of that horrid experience from his mind so that he too would love this child.

The End.
