A/N: This is my first song fic using the brilliant song 'Star-Crossed' by Ash and relates to the 'Romeo and Juliet' story by Shakespeare.

Disclaimer: 'Star-Crossed' belongs to Ash and only Ash, Draco and Hermione belong to Ms J. K. Rowling and Romeo and Juliet belongs to William Shakespeare. I own nothing, please don't sue. I can't afford it.

Behold this night, still and clear
You look here just like an angel sleeping
I wish I could ease your fears
I would catch the diamond tears you're weeping
In your eyes I would hide
By your side I could defy
The forces tearing us apart
But reality, as it seems
Looking back, is that our dream
Was fated from the start

Draco held her body in his arms, tears falling freely down his face. He didn't care anymore; he didn't care about reputation or keeping up appearances. He especially did not care about his father, didn't care if he was a disgrace to wizard or his family. All he cared about was her and the fact her life was slowly ebbing away and there was nothing he could do...

Girl we're star-crossed and can't escape
We're condemned and can only wait
At this time now it's far too late
To save us from our fate

"Stay with me," He begged, tears blurring his vision and emotion controlling his voice.
"I can't," She uttered, the two words a desperate struggle. She gasped for air and he pulled her closer to himself; if only he could stop her pain, take it himself. If only...

I'll remain in your hold
Body, mind, heart and soul
As long as I breathe
Though consequence takes its toll
All is out of our control
That's how it will be
So close your eyes my young bride
Listen to me one last time
There's something I have to say
When your faith turns to despair
Always will my love be there
And never fade away

Something crashed around the star-crossed lovers making them flinch. He looked up and around and knew there was very little time for either of them. It just wasn't fair, nothing was ever fair. They had found each other and were now being ripped apart. After everything they had faced, they had managed to stay together and he wasn't going to let it go. Not like this...

Girl we're star-crossed and can't escape
We're condemned and can only wait
At this time now it's far too late
To save us from our fate
You can't save us
You can't save us

"I love you," She whispered, the words causing her pain inside her dying body. It was difficult to keep her eyes open but she fought against it for only a little longer.
"Please don't so this," He begged, pushing her hair from her face and pulling her yet closer. "Hold on, please...just stay. You can't leave me, not like this. Not like this."
"Draco," She said desperately, gripping the sleeve of his torn and dirty robes and taking her final breath...

Girl we're star-crossed and can't escape
We're condemned and can only wait
At this time now it's far too late
The poison's in our veins
It's true
You know that I'd die for you
You know that I'd die for you
You know that I'd die for you

He looked down at her, dead in his arms and decided on the very last action he would ever do. Taking a piece of broken glass he looked skywards before closing his eyes. Clutching his love close to him with one hand, he plunged the glass into his stomach with the other...

Forever true
I'll see you through

He got up from where his dead body was laying and looked at his hands in amazement.
"Draco?" Someone called from behind him. He turned and smiled.
"Hermione."
