— Four weeks 3 days 19 minutes and something seconds. That's how long it took for things to escalate to where things were as of now. That's also the amount of time it took for one life to fall apart.
"ATTENTION ALL HOGWART STUDENTS! ATTENTION! ALL HOUSES FOLLOW THEIR HEAD LEADER TO THE TRAIN ALL PEOPLE PREPARED TO FIGHT FOLLOW ME!" Dumbledor announced as loud as he could before he ushered a handful of students and teachers to a hidden room in the wall in by his office. .
"Professor! Please! Tell me what's going on. How can the death eaters and lord voltemort get into hogwarts?! I thought this was a safe place for us!" Hermione cried as she ushered into the small room of teachers and students alike. Dumbledor's face fell in shame as he looked at the frightened people in the room.
"Miss Granger, there were complications when the years started..." He trailed off leaving Hermione flustered that he wouldn't continue.
"What sort of complications?" Hermione inquired with a hit of anger in her voice. Harry who was standing next to her gripped her shoulder and turned Hermione towards him.
"Hermione...When the school year started, Dumbledor had to make a deal with the ministry of magic...The deal wasn't only that if they felt at any time Hogwarts needed to be shut down then they'd do it..But also that the wards would be taken down. So that The dark lord would come to hogwarts, instead of us having to go looking for him. It would be easier this way. Less bloodshed, less chance of him waiting and gett-" Harry did get to finish before Hermione slapped him as hard as she could. Harry's face turned to the side in temporary shock.
"Harry James Potter, this make's you no better then the dark lord himself. Did you ever once stop to think of the innocent people at hogwarts? That maybe they would all die too?!" Hermione couldn't help but scream. The stupidity of their idea had her speechless.
"Of course we thought about that! We have preparations! People are guarding the train as we speak!" Harry defended himself and the poor decision he had taken part in. Hermione glared at him and gave a defeated sigh.
"I don't support your decision in the least bit but I'll still help." Hermione gave in but couldn't help but hug Harry one last time.
"If we die today Harry...I'm glad I got the chance to be your friend." Hermione sniffed back the tears and turned to look at the rest of the people in the crowded room. "All of you. It was my pleasure being your guy's friend, and student." She added looking into all the eyes she could.
"Let's go out there and defend what's right!" Harry bellowed words of encouragement then led the small army out to the fields of disaster.

Draco stood in his dorm pacing back and forth. He woke with a strange feeling in the pit of his stomach but ignored it the best he could until the dark lord himself appeared in his room mid afternoon.
"What is it?" Draco demanded to know when the dark lord just stood there with a glint in his eyes.
"Oh nothing. I was just thinking today's a good day for a war." The words made Draco's gut clench. He knew that this moment wasn't far off. It was only a matter of time until this happened and now that it was taking place, Draco found himself more love sick then ever before.
"Today my lord? But I'm not even a death eater yet...Why today?" Was all Draco could say.
"True you're still not a death eater but I woke today with one thing on my mind: Pure blood." And with that he was gone.
— Draco stood in his room staring at the mirror. What had he become? What happened between first year and now? Lord fucking Voldemort that's what happened. The name made him cringe inside out. As Draco stared blankly at his reflection Blaise walked into his room with a sad look on his face.
"What is it?" Draco asked with real concern.
"The dark lord contacted me...He knows about Ginny and I..." Blaise broke off mid sentence due to the tears building up in his eyes. Draco couldn't help but feel sympathy for his best mate. He knew what it was like to lose your other half. To have your heart taken from you and stomped on by the one person in the world you couldn't do anything to. He knew all too well...
"Blaise. Look at me! You have to get Ginny and leave this place! Leave right now and never look back. You two deserve each other." Draco found himself pleading. There was something about his friend that made Draco want to protect him. To protect his love. He had no chance of protecting his own so he wanted Blaise to have what he couldn't.
"We'd never pack in time.."
"Don't pack! Tell her you love her and that you need to leave!" Draco was yelling now. There wasn't much time left. When Blaise just stood there Draco started pushing him towards the door.
"Go Blaise. Go and never come back!" Draco urged as small tears started streaming down his face. Blaise gave his best mate one last long look and nodded his head in agreement, then wordlessly left. It was too hard to say the unspoken goodbye that they both silently gave each other.

Hand in mine, into your icy blues
And then I'd say to you we could take to the highway
With this trunk with ammunition too
I'd end my days with you in a hail of bullets

— "Hermione watch your back!" Harry yelled as he blocked another curse to the head. Hermione whirled just in time to miss another deadly curse. Fuck! I have to find somewhere high up! Hermione pondered as she sent a killing curse in the direction of a masked death eater. She frantically looked around but saw nothing but bloodshed and corps's of dead friends and acquaintances. Her eyes landed on one thing: The owl tower.
"Harry! Watch yourself out here! I need to go to the owl tower so I can send off curses from there!" Hermione screeched in a fearful tone. Harry gave her the longest look you could give someone in one second and though neither said it, it was obviously a goodbye. Neither knew which one was being bid the farewell but both wished it wasn't the other.

I'm trying, I'm trying
To let you know just how much you mean to me
And after all the things we put each other through and
I would drive on to the end with you
A liquor store or two keeps the gas tank full
And I feel there's nothing left to do
But prove myself to you and we'll keep running

"Adava Kedavra" Was whispered next to Draco and that was his cue to hit the floor. And so he did. As he was on the ground Neville Longbottom dropped beside him, but not for protection. Longbottom was dead. Hit with the curse that was meant for him. A river of guilt ran through him as his classmate of seven years looked at him with lifeless eyes.
"FUCK!" Draco yelled out of frustration and fear. All this was just happening so fast he didn't have time to think of what he was doing. As he stood again Draco quickly scanned the area and saw that it was a massacre. Bodies were littered across the once green grass, people were screaming, people were being tortured, some doing the torturing, and others were just running.
This is chaos I need to get to higher grounds. Draco thought as he sent a curse in a random direction. All this was very complicated for him. Draco had not wanted any part of this stupid war but since he was forced into it he didn't know what to do. He surely wasn't going to kill innocent people but killing a death eater was suicide. Eventually someone would see and kill him. He was still scanning when he saw the owl tower, tall and mighty. He didn't give it a second thought before he sprinted to it as fast as he could.

But this time I mean it
I'll let you know just how much you mean to me
As snow falls on desert sky
Until the end of everything
I'm trying, I'm trying
To let you know how much you mean
As days fade and nights grow
And we go cold

— Hermione's plan was to get to the top of the owl tower and send off curses left and right but when she got up there the sight stopped her dead in her tracks and made her want to vomit. Green and red flashes were being shot back and forth of a blood stained lawn like a light show. Killing curses and hexes alike were being shouted and carelessly thrown. The sight brought fresh tears to her eyes.
How can person be so evil? Hermione thought as she dropped her wand to the floor and grasped the ledge of the window for support.
"Hermione?"
--
Until the end, until this blood
Until this, I mean this, I mean this
Until the end of...
--
Draco couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Hermione hunched over grasping the ledge for support. She must have came up here for the same reason.
"Draco?" Hermione gasped as she turned around and met the eyes of the man who shared so much with her. The man who broke her heart, the man that meant the world to her. Hermione took another look at the battlefield down below then looked back to Draco who was staring at her much like the way he used to. And for a moment it was like Hermione wasn't surrounded with death but instead back in the arms of her rightful lover. Draco fucking Malfoy.

I'm trying, I'm trying
To let you know how much you mean
As days fade, and nights grow
And we go cold

"Draco?" Hermione gasped and turned around. Draco was staring her in the face and his heart had never felt more content. Hermione looked away then back at him and silver met gold like so many times before. And like so many times before Draco was captivated and hypnotized. For with in a blink of an eye His lips were on hers and her arms were wrapped rightfully around his neck bringing him closer to her welcoming warmth.
"I love you." Draco breathed before he could stop himself. Hermione tensed and pulled away to look him in the eye. She saw no hint of cruelness, not hint of the Slytherin he used to be. Who she saw took her breath away. She saw Draco Xavier Malfoy at his finest. There was nothing but pure uncontainable love in his eyes. And she would have it no other way.
"I love you, I love you, I love you!" Hermione repeated in the crook of his neck as he gently swayed them back and forth. The sweet words she whispered nearly made his heart stop beating.
--
But this time, we'll show them
We'll show them all how much we mean
As snow falls on desert sky
Until the end of every...
--
"Draco?" Hermione whispered from the crook of his neck.
"Hmm?" Was Draco's soft reply.
"The dark lord is gonna win. I can feel it. And when he wins we'll never see each other again." Hermione spoke the words Draco was afraid to hear.
"I know...Come away with me. Just with me. And we'll live happily ever after." Draco murmured with hope. Hermione smiled against his neck and gave it a little peck before she pulled away and looked him in the eye.
"Happily ever after's are for fairy tales. This is life. We wouldn't make it far anyways."
--
All we are, all we are
Is bullets I mean this
--
"We can try! I'd rather die trying then let you go again." Draco's voice cracked as tears came to his eyes. Their choices were limited and time was precious.
"Why did you let me go?" Hermione couldn't help but wonder. Draco gave her a long look while he still held her close.
"The dark lord told me to brake it off with you or he'd kill you...Hermione forgive me! I was a fool! I never want to spend another minute on this earth without you again. I'll die a thousand deaths before I let you go again...I'll never let you go." Draco half whispered as his voice cracked and tears slid down his face. Hermione started crying long before and was clutching onto Draco as if her life depended on it. And a small part of her knew it did. If she let go of him now she'd surely die. Whether it be from a stray curse or a broken heart. She wasn't positive but probably the later.
"Never let me go Draco. Never." Hermione spoke as clearly as she could before the pulled Draco in for a kiss of a life time. Their lips moved together gently caressing each other as if the first time, tongues sensitive to the others long missed touch, and salty tears mixed in with their lips as they tasted each other's pain.
--
As lead rains, will pass on through our phantoms
--
"Never." Draco promised as he clutched her close to him and tangled a hand deep into her curly brown hair. Hermione couldn't help the smile that graced her face. She had never felt more right about anything.
"HARRY!" A distant cry was heard by the two lovers. Hermione instantly looked over the ledge to see a very pissed off dark lord Standing over a limp Harry Potter. She didn't have time to feel remorse as she saw the lifeless body of her long time friend. Hermione gasped as the dark lord looked straight up into her eyes.
"He saw me!" Hermione cried as she bent over and grabbed her wand from the ground. Draco panicked and stood in front of Hermione. Any second the dark lord would be in the owl tower. Any second and their newly found love would be over once again.
"He can't take it from us! Not again! I'd rather die!" Hermione screamed as she came to stand in front of Draco once again. Draco gave her a questioning look but it was clear what she wanted. Death. And not by the dark lord. By him and him by her. Lover's suicide.
"I'll jump with you." The words were out of Draco's mouth and he didn't regret them. He welcomed them.
--
Forever, forever
Like scarecrows that fuel this flame we're burning
Forever, and ever
know how much I want to show you you're the only one
Like a bed of roses there's a dozen reasons in this gun
--
Hazel met silver in an electric stare and created sparks.
"I love you."
"I love you." They both whispered in union.
The memory of the first time they said I love you played through their heads. As Draco positioned his self on top of the ledge and steadied himself before he offered his hand to Hermione.
--
And as we're falling down, And in this pool of blood
--
— Hermione looked Draco in the eye and studied him for a second to make sure he was ready for this. She found no hesitation. She smiled at him before she took his hand and stepped onto the ledge with him.
"Hold my hand." Hermione whispered as she stood as close to Draco as possible. Draco instantly took her hand and looked down at their long fall. This seemed so right in the worst way possible.
"Wait, look at me." Draco commanded. Hermione turned and fully looked at him with tears of happiness in her eyes.
"I love you." Draco spoke loudly for the first time confessing his love for her without caring who heard.
"I love you too!" Hermione yelled loudly then smiled as a fresh row of tears fell from her face. Draco laughed lightly and held her close with their hands intertwined.
--
And as we're touching hands, and as we're falling down
And in this pool of blood, and as we're falling down
--
"1," Draco counted out loud as he turned sideways to be face to face with Hermione with both her hands in his.
"2," Hermione continued as she inched sideways never breaking eye contact. Before they had the chance to count to three Hermione leaned forwards and caught Draco's lips in one last final duet of passion. It was short and sweet. Their lips broke apart and their eyes met once again. This time there were no tears, there was no pain, there was just him and her, and her and him. Together forever.
"3!" They both shouted in union as they took the last step of the ledge hands still together, eye's still locked.
--
I'll see your eyes and in this pool of blood
--
Draco and Hermione grasped each other as tightly as they could as they free fell from the top of the owl tower together. The fall seemed as though it lasted forever. All Hermione saw were two silvery orbs filled with love and Draco was greeted with the most beautiful pair of honey brown eyes staring back at him. For the first time he felt as though he did something right. The hit wasn't harsh or painful. It was a split second of impact and everything went dark. The last thing either of them were aware of was the soft hands clasped in each other's grip.
--
I'LL MEET YOUR EYES, I MEAN THIS FOREVER
