I never said I'd lie and wait forever
If I died, we'd be together
I can't always just forget her
But she could try
It was too good to be true. I knew that. It was too smooth, too perfect. I knew that something was going to happen. Something to put a stop to the perfect dream we were living. But I never thought, not for one second that it would be anything like this.
At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are never ever...
Ever...
Everything was going so well, too well. From our miraculous escape from the Malfoy Manor to Aberforth's lucky timing in Hogsmeade. We were so close, so close to coming out of the dark, it was all in our favour… but I know now that no one is that fortunate. There was always going to be something to balance it out. But even though I had known that deep down, I was still naïve enough to hope that I really would be one of the lucky ones, one of the ones that fate smiled at...I'm meant to be logical, always thinking things through, but then, logic didn't seem to play any part, I just wanted us to both get out alive, so I forgot about the darkness and only focussed on the light, and he was my light.
Get the feeling that you're never
All alone and I remember now
At the top of my lungs in my arms she dies
She dies
We were half way through the battle, when Voldemort called the cease-fire. There was one horcrux left. One last obstacle before Voldemort would be well and truly dead. Sometimes I wish that the cease-fire never happened. Then I wouldn't have known… For a few hours more, I could've lived in my dream. That everything was OK, that we would both make it out alive. When I walked into the great hall and saw the cluster of red-heads around Fred, my Fred. I didn't run towards him. I didn't feel like my heart had stopped, or anything else like they say in the books. I just felt numb. My heart was still there, still beating like it always had. But it felt like there was no reason for it to be.
At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
Only George knew about Fred and I. After the battle went past in a blur of emotionless fighting, he took me aside and gave me a little velvet box. If I fall
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me
If I fall (down)
The box is on the table now. I haven't opened it. I'm afraid that if I do I'll be tempted to join him. But it wouldn't hurt would it? I walk over to my desk and pick it up. It is so soft, so perfect. As I open it, the first tears I've shed in months fall down my sunken cheeks. Oh Fred. At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Never coming home
Never coming home
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
I look out the window. I know that he's not coming home. But I want him to. Like that naïve sense of fortune I felt during the war, I try to tell myself that he'll come back. But my logic this time takes over and I know he won't. My wand looks so tempting, lying innocently on the bed. It would be so easy just to end it all. To join him.
Could I? Should I?
Fred. I'm coming home.
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna...
Song Lyrics: The Ghost Of You- My Chemical Romance
(A/N) I know this isn't IOICS and I usually ignore the fact that Fred dies, but when I heard that song again this plot bunny jumped into my head and wouldn't go away until I'd written it. I hope you liked it, Don't forget to review!
