**Now I will tell you what I've done for you....

50 thousand tears I've cried.

Screaming, deceiving and bleeding for you....

And you still won't hear me.**

The darkness of the room engulfed Hermione as she cried, sobbing into her sleeves. A small noise came from behind her, and she whirled around, her red eyes meeting the harsh black ones of Pansy Parkinson. Hermione swallowed. "Well, lookie what we've got here." Pansy whispered, a cruel smile coming across her face. "Aww," Pansy continued, leaning against the wall. "Poor Granger." She stuck out her bottom lip, pretending to cry. "Draco's left you for something better and hotter, huh?" "Leave me alone, Pansy." Hermione said, glaring at her. Pansy's face twisted back into another cruel sick smile. "I bet I know what you're thinking," she said, taking a step towards Hermione. "You're thinking HE didn't know what he was thinking. You're thinking in the morning he'll apologize and everything will be okay." Pansy shook her head. "I've got news for you, hunnie," she said, getting closer to her. "Things don't work like that." Something shined from Pansy's hand, reflecting in the glinting candlelight. The blade met Hermione's throat, and Pansy stepped behind her. Hermione's breathing was fast and trembling. "Who's gonna save you now, Granger?"

**Don't want your hand this time....

I'll save myself.

Maybe I'll wake up for once...

Not tormented, daily defeated by you.

Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom-

I'm dying again.**

Pansy looked at the reflection of Hermione's terrified expression in the blade. "Maybe once you're gone- he'll realize what he should have realized in the first place. Pansy slowly slid the blade gently across Hermione's skin, making the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. "He'll realize I'm the only one who'll ever love him. Maybe he'll see the reason Felicity had to die." "Had to?" Hermione choked. "The girl was practically screaming, 'Kill me, kill me'." Hermione swallowed. "You killed Felicity?" Pansy let out a laugh and released her grip off of Hermione, tucking the blade away in her robes. She walked in front of her, pulling out her wand. "Well, did you honestly think she killed HERSELF?" Pansy snapped at her, her evil laugh fading away into her anger. Hermione dove inside her robes, searching for her wand. Pansy raised her own wand at her. "You won't win this Granger. Don't even try."

**I'm going under....

Drowning in you.

I'm falling forever...

I've got to break through.**

"I've left a message for Draco to meet us later for a little...meeting." Pansy let out another small laugh, before poting her wand at Hermione. "Time to go." She whispered a spell and Hermione rose from the chair and glided over to her, paralyzed. Hermione's vision went black- her mind faded away.... "Please, no!"She heard a voice say as she blacked out. "Don't let her hurt him!" 'Felicity?' Hermione thought, just as her mind shut down...

**Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies...

So I don't know what's real and what's not.

Always confusing the thoughts in my head....

So I can't trust myself anymore.

I'm dying again.....**

Hermione awoke, shivering. Stone walls were echoing silence, and she heard a faint whispering off somewhere in the distance. "Hermione!" She heard Draco's voice say, but she was trapped inside her mind again, fading away again. She tried to call out to him, but her mind was closing her in. "Thee's nothing you can do, Draco," Pansy's harsh voice snapped at him. "No one will ever love you like I do!" Pansy aimed her wand at Hermione, tears bleeding from her eyes. "Pansy don't you fucking dare!" Draco yelled, his voice echoing off the walls. There was a crash as he tackled her down, followed by a scream. Hermione awoke with a start, and she was shakign with fear. She sat up, and saw Draco, laying on the ground, standing over a lifeless Pansy. His face was twisted in horror, and she sat, frozen in fear. Draco fell to his knees beside Pansy, pulling away her cloak. The blade had driven into her heart, blood seeping from the wound, pooling beneath her. "Draco...." Hermione tried to stand up, but fell back down, her head hitting the concrete floor with a smack- putting her unconcious.

**So go on and scream....

Scream at me, I'm so far away.

I won't be broken again...

I've got to breathe, I can't keep going under....**
