1Author's Note: I realized a few minutes ago that I've never done a songfic before, so I decided to give it a shot! Hope you like it!
It had been almost a year now, when he heard news of their wedding announcement. A year since they had said good-bye. He still thought about her, every night.
I still take you to bed, but it's the you I face instead
Where
I use every word I never said to crack you open
They knew it would never, could never, work. But he had hoped. He had prayed. It just wasn't meant to be.
There was barely room to breathe
Getting the skeptic to believe
that the goal wasn't to leave one of us broken
He had tried to talk to her on many occasions, but she had never looked back, and he was left standing in the dust.
If it's true nothing gets close to you for fear of melting
down
Then I've become the chosen one, an example for the crowd
He had tried, so hard, to forget her. But he soon gave in, and realized that he never could.
Your star is due for shooting and I'll be watching the night
sky
In hopes by then what binds us has come untied
He had been torn apart. He had wanted to die, and sometimes, he still did. On the rare occasion that he saw her, she seemed so happy. She was always stronger than he was.
I'm the tune of a lesser band
Sea legs on dry land
He had been amazed at how easily she had left him, almost as if he didn't matter at all.
Thinking how you foreited your hand to keep us from winning
All throughout the rest of school, he saw how the boys came and went, never staying long enough to mean anything. And sure, she had seemed happy then, but he knew better.
I watch them orbiting around you now, just like you showed them
how
And you reach out like the hand of God, a tap will keep them
spinning
If it's true they flock to you without your shepards
call
for change just let them range and see how far you fall
He knew that he still wanted her, still needed her. That's why he went to the Dark Lord. To ease the pain...
Your star is due for shooting and I'll be watching the night
sky
In hopes that soon what binds us will come untied
He realized too late that this was a mistake. Voldemort didn't ease pain, he caused it.
Can I take it back? Can I take it back now?
The war began, and he was hoping desperately that she would need him again. It didn't happen.
It's what the loss of our friends brings
It's in the way you
held my strings
It's now all the little things I can't help but down
He dreamed of her face, shining, when they had their rare outings.
Sometimes I wish I'd never known just how brilliantly you shown
He had no idea that the end had been so near. That their happiness had to end so suddenly.
Right before you threw the stone
"Good-bye Draco. I can't do this anymore. Just...good-bye." She had left so suddenly, not hearing his whispered, "Good-bye Hermione."
to cast me out.
