"I dreamed I was missing, you were so scared.
But no one would listen, 'cause no one else cared."
Curses flew left and right as she crawled for him. She was alone, because no one else thought the man she was seeking worth risking their life for. She found him gasping for breath.
"Oh, good. Miss Granger. I was afraid they would have extinguished all the brilliant minds," he drawled.
"Severus, please. Drop the formalities, we're alone." As the words tumbled from her lips, Hermione realized how true that was.
A small smile graced Snape's lips. "I was so afraid for you. You weren't here so I could keep you safe."
"Shh." She placed a finger to his lips. "I'm here now."
"After my dreaming, I woke with this fear.
What am I leaving, when I'm done here?"
The man let out a great sigh. "I am only sorry that I am leaving you alone."
"No," Hermione said firmly. "You're going to be fine."
"So if you're asking me I want you to know..."
Hermione laid next to Severus, unconcerned about the blood seeping into her clothes. "Did you know I love you?" she asked. A full smile graced his lips.
"I could guess. I love you as well."
"When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done.
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed. Don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty, keep me in your memories, leave out all the rest."
"You know I am not that person, right?" "I think I've always known you weren't."
"You, my dear girl, are crazy. Take my memories to the Pensieve and prove to those dunderheads that you were right all along."
A tear slipped down Hermione's face as she collected Severus' last memories. His thumb brushed it away.
"Remember me?" he asked her.
"Always."
And the girl knew that instead of hiding like a coward when friends died, she would fight to avenge him.
AN: This was my first attempt at a song fic, sooo. I don't own anything in this fanfiction except for the ideas in my head. Kinda sad, kinda stupid.
