Gollum's SongWhere once was light
Now darkness falls
---
Draco closed his eyes against the pain. This was the end, he knew.
---
Where once was love
Love is no more
---
"You switched sides, eh boy? I knew you were a smart one. You saw the stronger side, and you came to me. You are intelligent, like your father was. You will make a great one."
---
Don't say goodbye
Don't say I didn't try
---
Tears did not fall, he was long past those. The betrayal had forced him to use up his supply, to change sides, to leave everything he had ever loved.
---
These tears we cry
Are falling rain
For all the lies you told us
The hurt, the blame!
---
"Draco, please... I... I hope we can still be friends."
---
And we will weep to be so alone
We are lost
We can never go home
---
They had taught him to love and then used it against him. Now he lay broken, in spirit and in body, accepting what fate had given him.
---
So in the end
I'll be what I will be
No loyal friend
Was ever there for me
---
"You know, I really enjoyed myself. I'm surprised, Draco. I thought tomight was going to be... an echo of our school days. I'd love to go out again."
---
Now we say goodbye
We say you didn't try
---
His life flashed before his eyes, first going back in time and then focusing on the important moments. When his father had died, when he had first heard someone say they love him, when he had told someone that he lover her... when he had been betrayed...
---
These tears you cry
Have come too late
Take back the lies
The hurt, the blame!
---
Their cries echoed thorugh the appartment, too busy were they to have put a silencing charm on. Not even a locking charm on the bedroom door. So he opened it. Knowing what was beyond the door, knowing that it would break him, but needing to validate his accusations. Accusations that he had not even thought before now.
And when he opened the door, there they were. His worst fears were confirmed.
---
And you will weep
When you face the end alone
---
He heard a gasp but his eyes had failed him long ago on the battlefeild. Even now, he coud not regain sight, not even the sight of her. He could make out her faint sent over the stench of fire, burnt flesh, and blood. He could feel her near him just as sure as he could feel his own demise creeping upon him. A copper taste filled his mouth and he coughed out blood.
---
You are lost
You can never go home
---
She grabbed his hand and pulled it to her chest. He felt her heartbeat and something of a smile crossed his face before he grimaced from pain, both emotional and physical. In his final moments, he was being attacked on all sides.
---
You are lost
---
But regardless of everything, the betrayal, the lies, the pain, oh God, the pain, he realized something.
---
You can never go home
---
He still loved her.
