Are you there?
I've been searching all over for you.
How could you run off on me?
You know it's dangerous outside.

There's a war going on.
I know that; I'm not stupid.
It's not safe.. never has been...
Just because I'm different.

But I go anyway.
Not for myself, but for you.
I'd risk it all for you
Because you're all I have left.

I don't know why you leave me.
What would happen if I lost you?
I know I never told you,
But we'd miss you more than you know.

Please don't ask me to stay.
You know I have to go.
And promise me that if I die...
You won't remember me as that 'greasy git'.

If you'd stop and think for a moment,
I think it would be all too clear.
What would I tell my child
To explain why their Dad's no longer here?

I'm sorry that I'm never there.
You deserve so much better.
Your letters say you are doing fine,
But I know something's wrong.

Severus, I want you to know I love you.
I'm out because I'm fighting the war
Against the vile evils of this world
That take you away from me.

Hermione, I love you.
The git would never say that, but the husband would.
Please carry on my memory,
For I fear they've finally found me.

If this is the last thing we are to share,
I would want it to be special.
But mere words are never enough,
And I'm not ready to say goodbye.
