May Angels Lead You In

Draco crumpled the letter that he had just received in his hand and ran
from the Hall. Ignoring Ron and Harry’s protests she ran after him. She
had no idea where he had gone, but she was determined to find him.
Something just told her that it was urgent.

A million things ran through Hermione’s mind. She and Draco had been
sworn enemies. She was, after all, a “mudblood.” But something had
changed their last year at Hogwarts. Draco had changed. She fondly
remembered that fateful night in the library. Snape had assigned them to be
partners, much to their dismay. They were working late one night when it
happened. Without warning, he had kissed her. A long, gentle, pure kiss.
She didn’t know why it had happened, and she didn’t ask. It seemeed to
be a mutual thing. They never discussed it, rather they fell madly in love.
 

There's no one in town I know
You gave us some place to go.
I never said thank you for that.
I thought I might get one more chance.
What would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
 

Hermione continued running from door to door trying to find Draco. Ahh
yes, their love had been secret. It had to be. No one would have
understood; only the two of them. Suddenly Hermione heard a crash in a
room up ahead. She ran.
 

May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
 

She swung open the door. To her horror she saw Draco sprawled on the
floor in a pool of blood. In one hand, the crumpled letter. In the other,
a razor blade.
 

So what would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
 

She ran to his side. A horrible, sinking feeling spread through her. He
wasn’t breathing. “Draco” she whispered. It was too late. Too late for
magic, too late for anything. Why? Why had this happened? She took the
letter from his bloodied hand and read. She suddenly understood. His
father was going to force him to become a Death Eater. If Draco refused,
he would suffer a most horrible death.
 

And if you were with me tonight,
I'd sing to you just one more time.
A song for a heart so big,
God wouldn’t let it live
 

She wanted to feel angry, but couldn’t. He was happy now. He couldn’t
be touched. Not by his father.. not by Voldemort. So she just sat there,
holding his lifeless form in her lap and crying his tears.
 

May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
