Draco was lying there, in Hermione's arms taking slow heaving breaths. His energy was giving out slowly.
"T-Thank you Hermione."
Hermione brushed away her tears, "Your welcome. Draco, try to hold on…I'll go get help." Hermione was about to get up when Draco grabbed her arm.
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
I see my visions burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
The streets we travel on will undergo our same lost past
"H-H-Hermione. This is the spot where we declared our love. This is the school that was out second home. This is the school where memories where made, hearts were broken, lovers fell in love, and haters fought. This is the school where history was made, secrets were lost, and, most importantly, this is the school where we met." Draco eye's were watering.
I found you here, now please just stay for a while
I can move on with you around
I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?
I'd do anything for a smile, holding you 'til our time is done
We both know the day will come, but I don't want to leave you
"I know. Please, Draco. Let me go get help." Hermione was bawling now, and stroking his hair out of his face.
"H-H-Hermione. You can help me, please, I'm nothing without you."
"I don't know what to do."
I see my visions burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry (a melody, a memory, or just one picture)
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
"Just follow what your heart tells you to do. How ever you can help me without leaving my side. Please. Even if I don't make it, just know that my life is your life."
"Draco, please, don't say that."
Newborn life replacing life, replacing all of us, changing this fable we live in
No longer needed here so where should we go?
Will you take a journey tonight, follow we past the walls of death?
But girl, what if there is no eternal life?
"Ok." Draco's breath was getting shorter and shorter by the second. Hermione was lying with her head on his chest and her arms around him, he slowly put his around her, "Don't cry." Hermione slowly nodded but continued to cry. She went to his face and slowly kissed him.
"Draco, you won't stop bleeding. Please, just let me go get someone to help. I'll be back in five minutes."

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
Trials in life, questions of us existing here, don't wanna die alone without you there
Please tell me what we have is real
Draco shivered, "No. Please Hermione. What if you leave, and when you come back…" He tears were rolling down his cheeks.
"Draco, no. Please. Please, hold on. Don't die on me." Draco wiped away her tears.
"I'm trying."
So what if I never hold you, or kiss your lips again?
I never want to leave you and the memory for us to see
I beg please don't leave me
Draco slowly closed his eyes, "Draco, please keep them open…So…So I know your still here." He slowly opened them up and pulled her up so she was hovering over him.
"Stay like this, I want the last thing I see to be the thing that I couldn't live without. The one who made me complete. The one who taught me how to love. The one who was always there for me. The one who I love. You. Even if I die, my soul will always be with you, protecting you."
"Draco….I love you…I love you so much. Please, please, please…Don't die. Not without me. Please." Hermione was hysterical again.
"I won't…But if I do. I just want to say, thank you Hermione…You have made everything in my life perfect. I love you too. Always remember that, when I die, keep on living life as if I was never here, I want you to burn my body, do whatever you want with the ashes."

"Draco…Ok, I'll burn you. But I just can't erase you out of my mind…Please Draco…Please. I love you. Don't die, don't."
Draco took a deep heavy breath and held her hand, "I love you."
"I love you too." Draco pulled her in and kissed her. They both took heavy breaths and Hermione look straight into his eyes reflecting her. Draco stared up at her, trying to hold on, he couldn't fade away. He squeezed her hand one last time and they said together, "I love you."
His tight grip on her hand loosened and his eyes fluttered. Hermione shook her head, "No, Draco. Please. Don't leave me here." No answer. She put her head on his chest he had stopped breathing. She was alone again, her soul empty again. She looked around her, the war she thought was over, the side Draco was on was rejoicing. She didn't share their joy. She fell asleep with Draco's body until morning when someone tapped her shoulder. It was Ron. He lifted Draco up and handed Hermione Draco's wand, "It's ok." Hermione walked back to the castle with Ron in silent tears.
(Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day)
I stand here alone
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home
Draco's spirit followed her, his arm around her, saying, "It's ok. I'm still here. For forever."
