Here's To The Night
By: Antares Altair

***The Day After***
Hermione was walking down the corridor to Potions with Harry and Ron. "Have you seen Malfoy today?" she asked. "No, for the thousandth time, NO! Why do you care so much anyway?" At this Hermione fell silent, if only they knew....
Potions went as normal, but she hardly heard anything, it was as if the world was blocked off by a sheet of glass, waiting to be shattered.
At dinner, Harry tried to spark conversation with his female friend, but to no avail, she was lost in her own world, staring at the ceiling which was showing a quickly dimming light, and the first stars began to shine.
Hermione was the first to leave the table, running straight to her dormitory, where she cried into her pillow "Where is he? Why doesn't he talk to me? I thought we had something special but.... But... DRACO!" her pillow muffled the sound of her sobbing "oh Draco..." Tears ran down her cheeks in floods, she turned on her back and looked up at the canopy, a dark green letter was tucked in the corner. She sat up and pulled the letter out, opening the envelope she pulled out a shimmering silver letter, edged in red... blood.
Dearest Hermione,
Last night, we shared a relationship that was truly sacred. Thank you.
I am sorry I had to do this, but I couldn't let my father get to the one thing that mattered most to me, you.
I can't sum up what I want to say to you in words, so here's a poem I've written, it says everything.

You where my refuge
You where my strength
The blade my enemy
Only at length
My love for you
Made me blind
Your love for me
Messed up my mind
I'm so weak-willed
No hope in sight
What will I chose
Dark or Light?
Pain is relief
Temporary
You're long lasting
Carrying me
You confuse all
Death is clear
My screams are ones
No one can hear
I'm sorry Mione
My love is deep
But my heart is one
You can not keep
Never again
Will you see my face
At least not
In a human space
But I'll be here
Ever watching
Ever waiting
You'll see me only
When the moon waning
At all times, I'll still be here
Unable to be viewed by eye
Or seen by mirror
Remember me as You grow old
Remember me as Summers grow cold
Remember me as Love grows bold
Remember me as Life Unfolds

Love Always Hermione....

Draco Malfoy


Tears again spilled freely down her cheeks, he was gone.... Forever.
The envelope dropped from her hand to the floor, another sheet of emerald paper fell out of it, this one edged in silver, and silver lettering on the front, it read:

So denied so I lied
Are you the now or never kind?
In a day and a day love
I'm going to be gone for good again

Are you willing to be had? Are you cool with just tonight?

Here's a toast to all those who hear me all to well.
Here's to the night we felt alive.
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry.
Here's to goodbye tomorrow's going to come to soon.

Put your name on the line
along with place and time
want to stay, not to go, I want to ditch the logical.
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all to well.
Here's to the night we felt alive.
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry.
Here's to goodbye tomorrow's going to come to soon.

All my time is froze in motion
can't I stay an hour or two or more
don't let me let you go

don't let me let you go

Here's a toast to all those who hear me all to well.
Here's to the night we felt alive.
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry.
Here's to goodbye, tomorrow's going to come to soon.

To soon

Here's to the night we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye tomorrow's going to come to soon
