My Spirit's Sleeping Somewhere Cold

Chapter One
Her Decision
Hermione stood on the balcony of the Head's dorm. The clouds in the sky became blacker by each passing second. Hermione knew what tomorrow would bring and she accepted it. Tomorrow the Final Battle would begin.
*Flashback*
"Hermione tomorrow Voldemort will attack the school. Snape confirmed it with Dumbledore. Every Death Eater that stands in our way to winning will die. The Light will win," Harry told her. Hermione's heart broke a little. Over the past year she had become good friends with Draco Malfoy. However, in the end both knew they had chosen their side already. It was inevitable. Hermione nodded acknowledging that she heard Harry. She didn't trust herself to speak. She stood telling them she was tired and going to bed.
*End Flashback*
After that Hermione came back to the Head's dorm and had been on the balcony since. The year before Hermione's parents had been killed by Voldemort. Then Percy turned on the Weasley's and Voldemort murdered all but Ginny and Ron. After that Hermione had no willpower to live. Sure, on the outside it appeared she was strong, but on the inside she couldn't take it. Every night she cried in Draco's arms. She had started to fall in love with him but was to scared to tell him. Now with the battle being tomorrow Hermione wasn't certain she was going to. No matter the outcome one of them was going to die. She hoped it was her. She had, had a happy life. Draco deserved to live and have a family of his own that loved him. With that thought in mind Hermione made up her mind. She went back inside taking one last look at the sky. Sitting at her desk she began to write. It was going to be a simple letter but it turned into two pages, then three. Finally Hermione had said all she had to say. She folded the parchment and sealed it so only the person it was intended for could open it. Then she began another letter. This one addressed to three people. After she finished this letter she again sealed it, but this letter could be opened by anyone. Hermione climbed into bed and fell asleep thinking over how tomorrow would play out.
The next morning went by quickly and before Hermione realized it she was sitting at lunch with Harry and Ron. They were talking over strategies and how to quickly end the battle before to many died. Hermione pretended to be listening but she could hardly concentrate on breathing. She was ready for her on plan and hoped it would work. She hoped he would get the letter. Hoped what she was about to do would not be in vain. Lunch ended and all students were sent to their dorms. Hermione, Harry, and Ron were called to Dumbledore's office. They were told that students fifth year and under were being sent home as they spoke on the Hogwarts express and anyone in sixth and seventh year that didn't want to stay. Hermione's eyes seemed to become haunted and it worried the other three in the room. She stood saying she needed to see someone before it began.
How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb.
She walked into the common room and she saw him standing on the balcony.
"This is it. Isn't it?" he asked without turning to her.
"It is," she replied with barley any emotion in her voice. She had none left in her. He turned his head to look at her and noticed her eyes. He nodded and she walked to stand next to him. Both of them stared at the sky. It looked as if it were still night the clouds had become so dark. There was a loud bang heard and then people running through the halls. It had begun. They looked at each other one last time.
"Promise to do everything you can to stay safe Draco," Hermione said. Then without waiting for a response she grabbed her wand and ran out of the room. Draco soon followed.
On the battle field they were on opposing sides. Voldemort was not yet here so Ron and Harry were hidden under the invisibility cloak.
Without a soul
My spirit sleeping somewhere cold.
Until you find it there and lead it back home.
Hermione say him. He was dueling Ginny. Hermione ran to help. The battle raged on and finally Voldemort arrived. Harry reviled himself and the battle between the two began. Hermione didn't notice. Her only focus was Draco. He had to stay safe. People were dying all around them. Friends and enemies, all people Hermione knew well and some she even loved. Deep down she really did care and really did want to cry but she wouldn't let her emotions show. She needed to fulfill the task at hand. It was more important. Spells were flying everywhere. Some hitting their target while others narrowly missed. The battle raged for hours. Finally Voldemort fell. The light had won but the Death Eaters were not giving in. Finally Hermione had to set her plan into action. Harry and Ron both began to duel Draco. Hermione knew how it would end. She had to have her timing perfectly. She started to run, Harry started to form the first syllable of the curse. Just as the green light left his wand Hermione dove in front of Draco and before she hit the ground she was dead.
Wake me up
Wake me up inside
I can't wake up
Wake me up inside
Save me
Call my name and save me from the dark
"NO! HERMIONE!" Draco screamed and fell beside her before Harry or Ron could even react.
Disclaimer: Don't own it. Just the plot.
So I've had this typed for awhile. There is only going to be three chapters to it. I am posting it now in hopes of making those that are waiting for my other stories slightly happy because I have major writers block right now. I will try to have a new chapter to my other stories by the end of the weekend but tomorrow I have to help my aunt move and then Sunday I have to babysit. Please review though and let me know what you think.
