GOING UNDER

a/n: i don't own the characters in this fan fiction, nor the song 'going under' by evanescence. but i do own the plot. I hope you enjoy this! ~ searra

*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*

'so that's it then?' she asked him quietly, trying desperately to keep the tears from falling down her face. 'you just leave?' he didn't answer. he just looked at her. the love that had once filled his eyes every time he stared at her was gone. gone.

*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*

'you can't do this to me,' she said. 'you can't. i'm lost without you . lost.' he picked up his bag, looking away. his blond hair fell in his eyes. all she wanted to do was to run her hands through the divine silkiness and have him wind his fingers through her own wild mane. why couldn't things go back to the way they were?

*i'm going under

drowning in you

i'm falling forever

i've got to break through

i'm going under*

he stepped towards her, touching her cheek with a single finger. the tingling sensation she had once always gotten was now colder, and it made her shiver. she reached up to grab his hand, but he pulled away before she could. his footsteps echoed through the silence.

*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*

she followed him out the door. 'i gave you everything!' she screamed at his retreating back. 'everything you wanted! everything you needed! you can't leave me like this! you can't do this to me!' he didn't turn around, didn't look back. not once. she saw him turn the corner through her blurry eyes, and she collapsed onto the icy steps that led to their once happy home and she buried her face in her arms and sobbed. her tears stung her cheeks as she propped her arms on her knees. her tears stung her heart. whenever she had cried, he had been there. to take her in his arms and to kiss her forehead and to tell her everything was going to be all right. but not this time. she lifted her head. anger. hatred. she could feel it now. pulsing through her entire body. he couldn't leave her alone. not this time. he would pay.

*i'm going under

drowning in you

i'm falling forever

i've got to break through*

'her-hermione,' he stuttered. her hair was pulled up in a high ponytail, and her wand was pointed at him. he raised his hands. 'what are you doing here? why did you follow me?' she steadied her trembling hand. 'you lied to me. you said you'd never leave me. you lied.' he lunged towards her as she screamed the curse .

*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*

his fragile body fell to her feet.

*i'm dying again

i'm going under

drowning in you

i'm falling forever

i've got to break through

i'm going under

going under i'm going under*

he was dead. 'you lied,' she whispered into the darkness that surrounded her . the darkness that consumed her.
