All I Ask of You

No more talk of darkness,
Forget these wide-eyed fears;
I’m here, nothing can harm you,
My words will warm and calm you.
Let me be your freedom,
Let daylight dry your tears;
I’m here, with you, beside you,
To guard you and to guide you.
 

Draco Malfoy hugged Hermione Granger tightly. Through the past year, she had been through so much. The poor thing couldn’t fall asleep at night ever. I wouldn’t be able to fall asleep either, Draco reminded himself, thinking of how Voldemort had tortured her through dreams. They were twenty-years-old now, and Voldemort had recently be defeated by Harry Potter, who died protecting his only love, Hermione.
 

All I ask is ev’ry waking moment,
Turn my head with the talk of summertime.
Say you need me with you now and always;
Promise me that all you say is true,
That’s all I ask of you.
 

Draco had been there with Harry and Ron, who also died too. Draco was the only survivor from the battle with Voldemort, and he was tormented with flashbacks of blood and dead bodies. But what he went through was nothing like what Hermione had to go through. She watched the battle through her dreams all seventh year and for the two years after Hogwarts. She saw her two best friends in the whole world die over and over and over. And she never knew that Harry loved her. Until he died.
 

Let me be your shelter,
Let me be your light;
You’re safe, no one will find you,
Your fears are far behind you.
 

And now Hermione was dying. Slowly. All the pain that Voldemort had caused her had driven her into a state of illness, where she could no longer sleep…ever. Today, Hermione was sicker than ever. But Draco was there with her, and that’s all that mattered.
 

All I want is freedom,
A world with no more night;
And you, always beside me,
To hold me and to hide me.
 

It was odd how they ended up loving each other. One moment, they were enemies, the next, Harry, Ron, and Draco were fighting for their lives and against Voldemort. And then Draco and Hermione were in love. She needed him. To hold her and to guide her.
 

Then say you’ll share with me one love,
One lifetime;
Let me lead you from your solitude.
Say you need me with you,
Here beside you,
Anywhere you go, let me go too,
That’s all I ask of you.
 

Draco knew he would die without her. They loved each other with such passion, but Hermione was weak and soon would leave this world and surpass into one greater…perhaps one without night.
 

All I ask is for one love,
One lifetimel
Say the word and I will follow you.
Share each day with me, each night, each morning.
Anywhere you go, let me go too;
Love me, that’s all I ask of you.
 

"I love you, Draco," Hermione whispered, as he clung to her. "You know that, don’t you? I love you…." And she was silent, dead.

"Hermione!" he sobbed, clutching to her lifeless body. "Don’t leave without me. Please!"

Draco pulled out a knife, sobbing, and stabbed himself in the heart, falling on top of her like Romeo and Juliet. And all was quiet.
