Yay to Youtwocanrideyourbikes! You guessed right! So here's Already Gone by Kelly Clarkson. As you can tell I'm a big fan of her. So, here you go, as promised: *hands over two chocolate frogs*


Already Gone by Kelly Clarkson

"Draco, I'm sorry. It's just not going to work. Wejust don't work anymore. We're not what we used to be," Hermione explained, her eyes on the floor.

"But, Hermione, why? We can make-"

"Don't say we can make it work, because we just can't. Don't you think I've already thought of that? Listen, we've been distant for so long now. We barely have time for each other. You've been going to all these tryouts for Quidditch teams, and I understand that this is what you've always wanted. And I'vealways wanted to become a Hogwarts professor. When you make one of the teams (yes, I know you will) you'll be traveling for games while I'm here. What're we going to do then?" she questioned calmly.

"Hermione..."

She pressed something into his palm.

"Take my iPod. I want you to have it. You can listen to it when you've got a few minutes," she whispered in his ear. "I guess we were always meant to say goodbye."

She pressed her lips softly to his, letting his tongue slip into her mouth. He wrapped his arms around her back, and her against his neck. He wanted that moment to last forever, but she eventually pulled away.

She leaned in and whispered in his ear again.

"Listen to the slideshow I put together in the pictures." She walked out quietly, not even looking back.

Draco turned his back from the door, too sad to watch her go, and slipped in the earphones while pressing PLAY (thank Merlin she'd shown him how to use these muggle music players).

Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye

An image flashed on the screen of Draco and Hermione holding hands at the park.

Even with our fists held high
It never would've worked out right
We were never meant for do or die

I didn't want us to burn out
I didn't come here to hold you, now I can't stop

Another picture appeared- one of them at Hogwarts during their seventh year, laughing and sitting under a tree.

I want you to know that it doesn't matter
Where we take this road someone's gotta go
And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on so I'm already gone

It was them dancing at the end-of-the-year ball (seventh year).

Looking at you makes it harder
But I know that you'll find another
That doesn't always make you want to cry

Now Draco and Hermione were surrounded by friends, sitting next to each other in a restaurant, talking with each other.

Started with a perfect kiss then we could feel the poison set in
Perfect couldn't keep this love alive
You know that I love you so, I love you enough to let you go

In the next picture Draco and Hermione were laying together on a couch in his manor, cuddling with each other.

I want you to know that it doesn't matter
Where we take this road someone's gotta go
And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on so I'm already gone

Next, Draco was trying to help Hermione ice skate on the Black Lake, laughing as she could barely stay up.

I'm already gone, already gone
You can't make it feel right when you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on so I'm already gone
Already gone, already gone, already gone
Already gone, already gone, already gone, yeah

The image on the screen changed to a shot from Christmas, where they were holdin each other's gifts- a miniature lioness for Hermione and a miniature dragon for Draco.

Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye

Now it was a picture of them sitting next to the Black Lake at sunset, locked in a passionate kiss.

I want you to know that it doesn't matter
Where we take this road someone's gotta go
And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on so I'm already gone

I'm already gone, already gone

You can't make it feel right when you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on so I'm already gone

The last picture appeared, the one that had always been their favorite: The backshot of them walking on the beach together.

And because Hermione had walked out and left for good, she would never know about how Draco's silver eyes brimmed with tears that moment, and how he cried himself to sleep that night.


Personally, I love this one. This just came to me when I was eating dinner, random much? Yes, definetly.

Okay, I know all these drabbles have been sad and heartbreaking so far, but I promise it'll get better. Personally, I think I'm better at this style of writing.

Suggestions/Requests welcome, please review, you know the deal.

Thanks!!!
