“When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need”
Draco brought Hermione back to Hogwarts after she was released to his care. She was not back to herself yet, but she was getting there. Madam Pomfrey, the Headmistress, Draco and healer Mendez had scheduled weekly meetings to check on her progress. They were all in agreement she was not well, but they were also in agreement that staying in the hospital would probably deter her more than help.
“When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse”
She only slept if Draco was with her, and even then it was after she cried herself to sleep. The day after they returned was her parents funeral and Draco caught her trying to lock herself in the bathroom again.
“When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?”
Draco was able to blast the door open before she could do any damage. It was like the first time he found her- she was sitting in the dark, crouched low and crying. One hand was grasped in her hair and the other holding the blade. She was trembling with the effort to not cut herself.
“Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you”
Draco entered the room slowly and lit the sconces with his wand. He sat beside her and spoke softly, slowly pulling her from her mind. He caressed her softly, giving her the warmth of his touch. But most importantly, he sang to her.
“High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth”
He sung about his love for her and what she meant to him. He spoke softly of the great things he saw in her, the great heart she had and the great things possible in her future. He told of what he saw in their future.
“Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you”
Hermione would watch his eyes as he spoke to her, reading into his soul and possibly deeper. He didn’t know what she saw there, but the more he spoke, the more she ‘woke up’. The more he sung, the more the lights returned to her eyes.
“Tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears come streaming down your face
And I”
She still cries nowadays. She cries for those lost, memories unmade due to those losses. She cries out her pain and fears.
“Tears come streaming down your face
I promise you I will learn from all my mistakes
Tears come streaming down your face
And I”
But she also cries her happiness. The happiness she felt when she finished University. The happiness that came when Draco asked her to marry him. And even greater, the happiness felt when she was able to heal someone who had suffered as she had. Someone who hurt like she used to. She cries.
“Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you”
And the light of each new day. Each new dawn was another piece to healing to the wounds that plagued her. She would heal in time. And Draco would be the key to that healing.
