Disclaimer: I don't own the song or the characters.

I just felt a sudden urge to write a songfic to Run – Snow Patrol. I just thought how appropriate it would be for a Draco/Hermione!

I'll sing it one last time for you

Then we really have to go.

You've been the only thing that's right

In all I've done.

Draco looked at the girl beside him, knowing that they could not stay together. That they would be torn apart by everything else and wished that he could keep her. Her only good thing in his life.

And I can barely look at you

But every single time I do

I now we'll make it anywhere

Away from here.

He knew that if they were in any other country, if they were any other people, if they had different backgrounds then they would be able to stay together, but he was the son of a Death Eater and she was a muggle-born witch.

Light up light up

As if you have a choice

Even if you cannot hear my voice

I'll be right beside you dear.

Hermione tried to assure him that no matter who tried to rip them apart they would be together, if not in body then in mind. She loved him and she knew that he loved her. They would always protect each other, in all the ways they could.

Louder louder

And we'll run for our lives

I can hardly speak I understand

Why you can't raise your voice to say.

She tried to convince him to run away. He couldn't speak because he didn't know what to do. He wanted to run away, but he could not imagine leaving his parents to the mercy of the Dark Lord. But he loved her so much.

To think I might now see those eyes

Makes it so hard not to cry

And as we say our long goodbye

I nearly do.

They have to part. He cannot bear to leave his parents and neither can she eventually. They feel the tears rise but force them back, not wanting to torture each other more. But they don't want to leave and on their own volition, the tears fall.

Light up light up

As if you had a choice

Even if you cannot hear my voice

I'll be right beside you dear.

They can't part. They have to run away together. They console themselves with the fact that their parents will always know they love them and each other. They fear for their parents but their need for each other takes precedence that fear.

Slower slower

We don't have time for that

All I want is to find an easier way

To get out of our little heads.

But he wants to try to think of another solution first. He knows that his parents will almost certainly be killed for his actions and he wants to find an easier way to leave. A way for his parents to live but for them to love each other.

Have heart my dear

We're bound to be afraid

Even if it's just for a few days

Making up for all this mess.

She tries to comfort him, to give him the courage. She tells him that even if they only have each other for a few days it'll be worth it because that's a few days that they had each other.
