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.
