Guardian Angel

He watched her silently sitting by the lake side. She had been like this for nearly an hour now, staring vacantly, her eyes never straying far from the choppy water in front of her. He could see the tears steadily making their way down her face before she would wipe them away hurriedly with the back of her hand.

"Let them fall," he said quietly crouching down beside her. She turned towards him and a small smile crept slowly across her face for the first time since it had all happened.

When I see your smile
Tears roll down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one.

"I can't believe… " she managed to choke out before falling silent once again. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder, as she rested her cheek on his.

I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven.

"Nor can I," he whispered back, watching the waves lapping at their feet.

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one.

He took his hand in hers, covering it completely, his thumb slowly stroking her frozen cold skin.

I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

He watched as she slowly raised her head and looked into his eyes. She wiped away a streak of blood from his face before nervously placing a gentle kiss on his cheek.

Cuz you're my, you're my, my, my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cuz I'm here for you
Please don't walk away and
Please tell me you'll stay woah, stay woah.

"Are you sure?" he asked quietly almost in disbelief.

Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray.

"I'm sure," she said simply before kissing him softly on his lips. She felt his hand on her back, shaking slightly before a strange white mist enveloped them both, cleansing their wounds and wiping away their now forgotten tears.

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven.

"They're gone Harry," a voice said as a pair of hands pulled him away from the two bodies. Harry took one last pained look at them both; a weak smile forced its way through the sorrow as he saw their entwined hands. He wiped away tears before striding slowly away from the bodies of Severus Snape and Hermione Granger.
