Forever
She must never know.
She must never realize my regret, feel my pain, understand my deception.
Who will I fool?
She has destroyed my logic before…
But this is not a game.
She, my sun, my moon, the stars in my sky...
I can refuse to darken them if...
I'm sorry.
I have lost the ability to love, the concept of forever.
The only forever I can hope for is a serpent.
Not an angel.
"Hermione…" My voice falters. She looks at me, too trusting. I pull her in for one last kiss; a memory.
I don't look back.

A/N This is a response to the 100 Word Challenge on WIKTT – the scenario is Sev's and Hermione's break-up. This is my first WIKTT fic; I hope you like it. Remember, reviews with constructive criticism help writers improve! If you don't like the way I treated the subject or the media ('drabble' format), drop me a review. I promise not to come looking for revenge! Ta!
Oh, yeah. Usual disclaimers apply; I only own the small little playground I trap JKR's wonderful characters in.
