If I Never Knew You
I stood there, not crying, not being emotional. Just blank. I know he would have wanted it that way. No sorrow, no sadness. But I wasn’t happy. I really missed him. But I couldn’t control it anymore, once they laid his casket in the ground. It hit me. Draco was gone. I began to lose control, crumpling to the ground as my tears fell down my face like rain on a dry desert. His father should be the one getting lowered six feet under the ground, not Draco. Not my loving, innocent, sweet Draco. Stupid Lucius. I hated him for killing Draco. And I secretly vowed to myself then and there to kill Lucius for Draco.
I knew Draco wouldn’t have wanted me to be bitter. I knew him. I began to think of all the happiness we had together. And an old muggle song I had heard from a movie popped into my head.
If I never knew you
If I never felt this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be
And if I never held you
I would never have a clue
How at last I'd find in you
The missing part of me.
In this world so full of fear
Full of rage and lies
I can see the truth so clear
In your eyes
So dry your eyes
And I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you
If I never knew you
I'd be safe but half as real
Never knowing I could feel
A love so strong and true
I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you
I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we'd make the whole world bright
I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong
all they'd leave us were these whispers in the night
But still my heart is saying we were right
Oh if I never knew you
There's no moment I regret
If i never felt this love
Since the moment that we met
I would have no inkling of
If our time has gone too fast
How precious life can be...
I've lived at last...
I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we'd make the whole world bright
I thought our love would be so beautiful
We'd turn the darkness into light
And still my heart is saying we were right
we were right
And if I never knew you
If I never knew you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Empty as the sky
Never knowing why
Lost forever
If I never knew you
It was then that I, Hermione Granger, realized that I was happy to have even
known Draco. He had made me the happiest person ever. Sighing, I stepped up to his plot, twirling a single thorn-less rose in my hand. I looked down and one last single tear slid down my cheek and onto his casket. I held the rose out and dropped it on his casket. I blew Draco one last kiss.
“I love you, Draco. I always have, and I always will,” I said. “I’d be lost forever,
if I never knew you.”
