The World is Black

Hermione woke up the next morning and grabbed a glass of water and a few snacks- popcorn and gummie bears mostly. She turned on her TV and changed it to MTV.

'MTV video wake-up is on? How Early is it?' she glanced at her clock, '7:45? Wow that's early.' The same music videos were playing, the same ones she watched the past few mornings. It seemed to go that way nowadays, she didn't know why though. Draco suddenly stood up and sat beside her. She smiled.

Turn on channel seven at a quarter to eight
You see the same damn thing it's just a different day and
No one really knows why this is happening
But it's happening

Hermione glanced over at a spot on the wall where the paint was a little bit of a darker shade, it was the spot where her mum was bleeding so badly after what happened with her dad. She remembered seeing her mum's face, all twisted up with fear, she was crying, but Mr. Granger didn't really care, the stupid drunk oaf.


And everywhere you go it's just a different place
You get the same dark feeling
See the same sad faces
No one really cares that this is happening

She looked at Draco, who was watching the music videos with interest, at that moment he looked over at her as they smiled at each other, happily.

We come into this world
And we all are the same
In that moment there's no one to blame

She remembered the past night, Lucius was a cold man. How someone could beat their own son she would never know. She couldn't and didn't want to imagine the pain Draco had been through. She looked up at him; he was still smiling at her like nothing had happened the night before, like everything was great.

"Why you starring at me like that Draco?" she asked him.

"You're my first true friend; can't a guy be happy about that?"

"Yeah, of course." She smiled a friendship like smile at him and thought about his words, she'd never forget them.

But the world is black
And hearts are cold
And there's no hope
That's what we're told
And we can't go back
It won't be the same
Forever changed

By the things we say, say

Suddenly on the screen the MTV news screen popped up. They had breaking news- Britney Spears had been in her private jet when it crashed into a cornfield in central Kansas, then more bad news. Jesse McCartney, the young new pop star had been mauled by his own fans, something got out of hand and he was shot or something weird like that. Hermione felt awful for both of their families. Was God really having a reason for all of this?

Living in this place it's always been this way
There's no one doing nothing so there's nothing changed
And I can't live when this world just keeps dying
It's dying
People always tell me this is part of the plan
That God's got everybody in his hands
But I can only pray that God is listening
Is he listening?

Suddenly Mrs. Granger walked into the room with a few letters that were delivered by several different owls. Letters from Harry, and the daily one she got, The Daily Prophet. She opened Harry's letter first.

Mione

I just wanted to let you know, I had to get a new owl, my uncle finally did what he said he'd do since first year, he killed Hedwig. So I had to get a new owl. His name is Raven, he's raven in color, obviously, and is only about a year old. See you in Diagon Alley?

Harry

We're living in this world
Growing colder everyday
Nothing can stay perfect now I say

Hermione felt her eyes water, everyone felt like dying today. Draco read it from over her shoulder and he just hugged her. He understood her. She liked that about him. She didn't need to tell him anything, he just understood her.


But the world is black
And hearts are cold
And there's no hope
That's what we're told
And we can't go back
It won't be the same
Forever changed
By the things we say, say, say

Draco got up, magically cleaned his clothes and was about to shut the door.

"Mione, I've got to go home."

"You sure Draco?"

"Yeah, don't worry, I'll be back later." She nodded as he went out the door.


We come into this world
And we all are the same
And in that moment there's no one to blame
But we're living in this world
Growing colder everyday
Nothing can stay perfect now I say

After he left Hermione got up and dressed, but she just lounged around the house all day. Draco on the other hand, returned home to have his dad ignore him, at least it was better then getting beaten.

The world is black
And hearts are cold
There's no hope
That's what we're told
And we can't go back
(We can't go back)
It won't be the same
(It won't be the same)
Forever changed
(What will ever change)
By the things we say, say, say

Draco went up to his room and listened to his mp3 player as he turned on Good Charlotte's 'The World is Black'.


Turn on channel seven at a quarter to eight
You see the same damn thing it's just a different day
And no one really knows why this is happening
