Hold On

The thunder rumbled as the storm blew away, but rain still drizzled. Draco stood over the ledge ready to jump. His mother died a year ago, and his father abused him constantly. He climbed up to the highest tower in Hogwarts, and sat on it. All of a sudden, he saw someone climb up there too. When he saw who it was, he was upset and relieved. "What are you doing here?"

The girl smiled and replied, "I was just ask the same of you." Draco smiled a bit, and the girl was astonished. The same git who made fun of Harry and Ron was actually smiling? Then she realized why he was acting like a human. She looked down and then to Draco. Then it dawned on her. "No... I won't let you."

Draco cocked his head to the side. "Won't let me do what?"

The girl rolled her eyes and said "Duh, commit suicide, dummy! I won't let you... You'd be a selfish bastard if you did!"

Draco looked questionably at the girl. "How?" he said, raising one of his platinum blond eyebrows over his perfectly shaped silver eyes. "Because there are other people who care about you..."

At this she realized her mistake in giving her secret. She blushed, and turned her head quickly.

Draco laughed to himself and said, "Like who?" but he was hoping the answer was the one he wished for.

"Like me."

Draco looked into those deep brown eyes and realized he found his love.

"And why were you up here then?" She turned her head and said, "Because I know that when Harry and I broke up, it was because I needed someone with as much fame as you, but I knew I couldn't have you. So, I came up here to contemplate..." The pale boy looked on, with interest.

"This world, this world is cold

And you don't, you don't have to go

You're feeling sad, you're feeling lonely

And no one seems to care.

Your mother's gone and your father hits you

This pain you cannot bare."

Draco looked at her, and the girl smiled. "I know exactly what happened..."

But we all bleed the same way as you do

And we all have the same things to go through

"But you don't need to be a prat and make everyone feel bad for you. It happens. Lord knows I know that." Draco sniffed, trying to hold back sympathy. Malfoys never show sympathy. Well, they never show emotion in general. "I can help you. Just grab onto my hand... if you feel like you are gonna fall from yourself..."

Hold on if you feel like letting go

Hold on it gets better than you know

"I know that you are always complaining, but I can really try to help you too..." Draco said, eyeing her hand. He would never hold onto anyone's hand. Draco began to sing his favorite song... even though he was one verse ahead. But they related to her situation.

" The days, you say they're way too long

And your nights you can't sleep at all, hold on

And your not sure what you're waiting for

But you don't want to no more

And your not sure what your looking for

But you don't want to no more"

The girl smiled and she snapped back with the last line of the verse.

" But we all bleed the same way as you do

And we all have the same things to go through"

At this point they sang together.

" Hold on if you feel like letting go

Hold on it gets better than you know

Don't stop looking you're one step closer

Don't stop searching it's not over"

But the girl sang solo and softly on this one, extending her hand again, closer to Draco.

"What are you looking for?

What are you waiting for?"

Draco eyed the hand again, and contemplated if he should grab her hand or not. He would never do that in front of his father.

The girl began to cry, knowing that Draco would never do what she was expecting him to do... That wasn't in his character.

Do you know what you're doing to me?

Go ahead, what are you waiting for?

Draco suddenly grabbed her hand, and she knew he meant it.

Hold on if you feel like letting go

Hold on it gets better than you know

Don't stop looking you're one step closer

Don't stop searching its not over

Hold on if you feel like letting go

Hold on it gets better than you know

Hold on

All of a sudden, the hail began. Draco knew that God (heck, it could have been Voldemort watching) was punishing him for holding hands with her. They tried to duck from the hail, but they ended up falling off of the tower. As they fell from the incredible height, they knew that death was waiting for them. Silver eyes met brown as they took their final breath.

The next day, Harry cried silently as Hermione Granger was dead. It was sad that she fell off the tower, but the more chilling thing was that she was holding hands with Draco Malfoy...

No one knew that they kissed mid air. No one knew that they had not fell off of the tower. They both committed suicide, knowing no one would accept their relationship. But all they could do was hold on. Hold on together.

Fin.
