Okay. This will all take place in Snape's POV, and starts right after
Serenity pulled him into her arms. The song is by Shindig and is called
can't let go. I do not own the song, sailor moon, or Harry potter. Enjoy!
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Here we stand face to face once again.
After all this time, what keeps coming back to me?
Are all the faded memories of you and me?
That I thought were dead and gone.
\*/
She is calling me, begging me to look at her, but as much as I want to; I can't. I could feel the warm red liquid running down my chest, soaking the robes I wore. I tried desperately to open my eyes so I could see her one more time before I died. I know I'm dying. My eyes won't open, but I can see the shadow of death looming over my head, waiting to take me away. How I wish I could muster the strength to tell her how I feel, to hold her tightly in my arms one last time.
\*/
And now it's slowly sinking in as I feel I am dying in your arms.
Tonight I know is my chance to show you how much I still care.
I can't let go.
\*/
I felt something press against the wound. I could feel the bit of strength surging through my body, but it isn't enough. I still feel so weak, and now it's all I can do to remain conscious. I could feel her tears falling on my lips. Just like that moment . . .
"Serenity? Are you okay?" I asked and walked into the bedroom. My cheeks flushed red, but the moment of embarrassment passed as quickly as it had come. Wounds scared her back in multiple places. "How did that happen?" I questioned stepping forward. My hand slid down her back lightly, and though I had only known this girl a day, I had the sudden urge to curse the one who did this into oblivion.
"Don't worry about it. They'll go away soon enough." She said softly as she pulled one of my shirts on.
"Scars like that are hard to heal even with the use of magic." She shook her head and shrugged.
"They always go away. It takes a while sometimes, but they always vanish." I looked at her curiously. "This has happened more then once?" I questioned, and the anger in my voice surprised even me. She nodded and sat down on the bed.
"I'm always covered in scars and bruises. As soon as some of them heal new ones are made. That's how it's always been. I've gotten used to it." She spoke softly, her eyes hidden under the long silver locks. I sat beside her and brushed a few strands of hair away.
"You should never have to get used to something like that. You shouldn't have had to go through all that pain . . ." My words were laced with compassion. This girl, she was so innocent and pure, to have to go through all that she had could brake even the strongest of men, but here she sat speaking of her life with me and not a single tear fell.
"All the nights you must've cried yourself to sleep. . ."I thought to myself allowed. That's probably why she didn't cry. She cried so often when the horrid woman left her that she couldn't cry any more.
"No. I only cried once, and didn't do so again. I stopped crying, begging, screaming, I just stopped." She looked up at me with those beautiful blue eyes so full of pain, and without a second thought I pulled her into my arms.
"You can cry now." I told her softly. She hesitated for a moment before falling into my embrace and sobbing. I did all I could to comfort her, and when she finally stopped I leaned down and kissed every remaining tear on her cheek; banishing the tears with my lips. Then we lay down on the bed and she curled up in my arms.
The memory played in my mind like a small movie, and I smiled ever so slightly. I heard her voice again just before a wave of strength passed through me. I felt her fall forward over my chest, her breathing slow and unsteady until it was hard to tell she was even breathing at all.
"S-Serenity?" I choked out her name. Nothing. I found myself in tears, calling to her quietly, but never getting a response. "No she can't die! I have to tell her . . . I have to tell her the truth.'
\*/
There's so much that's left unsaid between us.
After all this time, I'm not proud of what I did
And now there's nothing I won't give for the chance
To make you mine again.
\*/
Then I heard something. 'Advada Kavara.' Though my eyes were shut, the green flash coming towards us was still blinding me. Then it happened. The spell hit us dead on. The green light consumed us and I knew these were my last moments of life. My hand fell on hers, and I intertwined our fingers.
\*/
I can't let go.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
It's short but I found these lyrics and had to add them in. I hope you liked it. Also, How about I can't let go as the title? If you like it say so. If no one does then I'll probably leave it as untitled or change it to Serenity Riddle like Moon-n-Universe Goddess suggested.
