Boulevard of Broken Dreams
She needed to get out of there now. She glanced at Harry's wristwatch beside her. 30 seconds left. The bell rang. She ran out amid the cries of her two best friends, calling her back to them. Needless to say she ignored them.
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's only me and I walk alone
Life was hell. He needed to leave. 10 seconds left. The bell rang. He left without a second glance.
I walk this empty street
On the boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
They both reached the doors of the Astronomy Tower at the same time. They traded maliciously questioning glances at one another before entering their place of solitude.
I walk alone
I walk alone
He couldn't take it anymore. The silence was unbearable. "What are you doing here, Mudblood?"
I walk alone
I walk a-
As soon as he said it, he heard her tears begin to fall. A second of regret flickered across his face before he schooled his features back to benignity.
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone up there will find me
Till then I walk alone
He hardly heard her reply. It rose just barely above the sound of a whisper over the wind. "W-why can't you all just let me be?"
I'm walking down the line

Read between the lines
What's fked up and every thing's all right
Check my vital signs
And know I'm still alive and I walk alone.
He got up from his dismal perch and sat next to her. "What if I want to apologize?" She stared at him. "For what?"
I walk alone
I walk alone
"Being me." Her eyes narrowed. She glared at him and turned away. "Then I'd ask you what you were on."
"I'm trying to be serious, Hermione. Listen to me for once."

I walk alone
I walk a-
"Do you think I wanted to be how I was for all these years? Well, think again sweetheart. My father's gone now, and I can be how I want to be. I can have what I want for once. And I want friends. I don't want to be feared, I want people who like me for me, and I think you can help me with that."
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone up there will find me
Till then I walk alone
She looked at him for a second. "Do you think, that for one second, I wouldn't remember what you did to me for 6, count 'em, 6 years? You're crazier than I thought Malfoy." That said, she stood up, and left him alone, out in the cold.
