Author's Note:
Semi AU companion piece to my novel length story, "The End of the Begining", can stand alone so you don't have to be familiar with the other story (especially since it has no bearing on the other plot).


So lately, been wondering who will be there to take my place

When I'm gone, you'll need love

To light the shadows on your face

If the great wave shall fall

It'd fall upon as all

And between the sand and stone

Could you make it on your own

"HARRY!"

Seamus' scream rent the air as Harry fell back, mud splashing up around him. Peter lowered his wand, staring at the body of the fallen boy hero before ripping off his white mask, throwing it on the body, taking off at a run, far way from the battle, body shifting and changing as he ran, changing into a rat mid stride as he disappeared into the under brush.

There wasn't even a pause, a ripple in the battles. No one else took notice of Harry Potter's death as the resistance fought against Voldemort and his Death Eaters, struggling to survive.

If i could, then i would

I'll go wherever you will go

Way up high or down low

I'll go wherever you will go

It's time for you to come home...Harry.

I don't want to, I'm not ready. Let me go!

It's over, Harry. Come with us, your time here is done.

NO! He's still there. I need to stay with him.

You can't be with the living, Harry. Their world moves on, do you really want to be stuck, watching?

If that is what I have to do. He needs me, he needs me to help him move on.

Harry...

No! I'm staying here. I'll be fine...I promise. They need me...he needs me. He...I need him.

We love you...

I love you too, mom...dad.

And maybe, I'll find out

The way to make it back someday

To watch you, to guide you

Through the darkest of your days

"Harry..."

"I know, Neville. And it's okay. Really. I know it's hard for him. It would be hard for anyone, to see their dead lover, to speak with them. Don't worry. Just so long as he's...just so long as he's okay, then I don't need to see him. I just want him to heal and move on. That's why I stayed after all. And I don't blame you, he's an easy man to love."

"You should have moved on, Harry. Even the dead can hurt."

"Just...take care of him, Neville. I really don't think Draco could stand to lose another lover."

"He's not going to lose me, I love him too much."

"Yeah...I thought the same way, once upon a time."

If the great wave shall fall

It'd fall upon as all

Well i hope there's someone out there

Who can bring me back to you

"Harry?"

"Draco?"

"You really are here. They said...but I didn't think you would give up a chance to see them again."

"I promised to be by your side forever. That included beyond death, Malfoy."

"But you weren't supposed to! You were supposed to move on and enjoy heaven! You earned the right to rest!"

"But I didn't want to leave you..."

"Don't touch me! You're dead and cold and gone and...I can't bear you to touch me."

"Draco..."

"No! Just...I shouldn't have come here. You're dead."

"I am. But I still have a job to do. I have to make sure you're taken care of. I still love you, that didn't change."

"It should have. You should have forgotten me when you died!"

"Would you have forgotten me?"

"...no."

I know now, just quite how

My life and love might still go on

In your heart and your mind

I'll stay with you for all of time

"Are you sure this is what you both want?"

"We're sure, Harry. It's time."

"I'm going...I'm going to miss you both."

"And we will miss you. But your job is done. We're happy, Draco's happy. It's time for you to go on. We can't thank you enough for being there for us, for supporting us. It must have been hard."

"It was a real bitch, trust me. You don't know what it's like to help your ex fall in love with someone else. But I'm glad your both happy, that's what I was here for."

"Keep watching over us, Harry?"

"Forever, Draco. Any time you need a swift kick in the arse, I'll be right there to give it to you."

"I love you,"

"I love you too...Don't cry, we'll see each other soon enough. Now go get that boyfriend of yours and shag him rotten for me. God I miss sex."

The sound of Draco's laughter followed Harry as he stepped through the warm and welcoming light behind him, falling into his mother's embrace as tears spilled down his cheeks.

If i could turn back time

I'll go wherever you will go

If i could make you mine

I'll go wherever you will go
