A/N - This fic has been bugging me for, well, forever! This is based on a song that the chorus I'm in is currently singing, and it always makes me think of writing this fic … well, maybe now that I actually wrote it, I can stop thinking about writing it … I apologize if you think it's really stupid and cheesy - I really have no control over that whatsoever.
Disclaimer. I do not own Harry Potter, nor was I brilliant enough to think up the song The End of the World … so please don't think I actually have that kind of creativity.
Draco was walking along across the grounds of Hogwarts, hardly noticing where he was going. Not that it mattered, anyway. He didn't even stop to wonder if it would matter. His feet knew the path they were taking - his eyes didn't see- It was too dark, and he barely noticed the warm rain mingling with his tears. All he could think of was that in only a few weeks, Hermione would get married to Ron …
As he walked along, as alone as he felt, the quiet of the night was broken only by the sound of him singing …
Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know, it's the end of the world
'cause you don't love me anymore …
To try and get his mind off Hermione, he thought about his ex girlfriend Pansy … or more specifically, how much he hated her, and how he regretted going along with his parent's decision that they were meant to be together. If he hadn't … well, there wouldn't have been the awkward questions from his parents about why they broke up (he was sure there had been major plans laid out for a wedding), and maybe, just maybe it would be he, and not Ron that Hermione would be marrying …
Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know, it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love
He was also tired of trying to cover up where his true feelings lay. When he started at Hogwarts seven years ago, he had thought that that wouldn't be a problem - that there would be nothing to hide. Then he had met Hermione, and everything had changed. he realized how much he truly cared - just when it was to late.
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
At last he reached his destination, and entered. Without thinking he went to the stairs that he knew went up to the top of the astronomy tower. he barely noticed the smooth feel of the railing, and he followed the stairs up and up
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know, it's the end of the world,
It ended when you said goodbye
Don't they know, it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye
Goodbye

A/N - well, somehow I did it! (and who knew Draco was a romantic?) Kind of a miracle. since I'm currently juggling homework for biology and economics …
