00:03Harry and Ron are sleeping still
00:06But Hermione lies awake beside
00:10The boy who led her from those halls
00:14She swore she'd never walk inside
00:17Each time she blinks, the cell awaits
00:21The chains, the stone Bellatrix's smile
00:25Now Luna lies beneath that house
00:28And Ollivander waits in the dark
00:31She wants to move to bring them home
00:34But Sarah tightens round her chest
00:36Her breath comes short, her fingers shake
00:37She hates that fear, still knows her best
00:39Beside her, Draco cannot sleep
00:42His parents fill the darkened room
00:45Then Hermione whispers, barely heard
00:49Draco
00:51I'm scared of going back inside
00:54Draco turns toward her in the dark
01:00Then stay Potter
01:02Weasley
01:03And I will go
01:08For one brief moment she almost agrees
01:11Almost lets the fear decide
01:15But then she sees the three of them
01:17Walking through the manor
01:19Without her by their side
01:22If one of them falls because she stayed
01:25She knows she would never forgive herself
01:29So she hides the truth behind a faltering smile
01:33You'll need someone who remembers the proper spells
01:37She moves a little closer to him
01:41Neither of them sleeps
01:44We're going back into the manor
01:47Back where the darkness knows our names
01:51Back through the halls that broke us
01:55Back through the fear and flame
01:59Let the old walls hear us coming
02:01Let the cellar feel us near
02:06We are walking through the nightmare
02:09But we are not prisoners here
02:13Hold your breath and stay beside me
02:17One wrong sound and all is lost
02:20We're going back into the manor
02:23No matter what it costs
02:28Morning brings a careful plan
02:30Draco knows the quietest way
02:32Through the gardens past the walls
02:34Down where hidden prisoners stay
02:36Far away Kingsley tells Dobby
02:39Who is waiting in the cells
02:42The elf looks frightened for a moment
02:45Princess Dobby will help
02:50Harry and Ron play wizard chess
02:54Trying to keep their minds off what comes next
02:57Hermione tries to lock the cellar
03:00Behind books inside her mind
03:03But every hour that night draws closer
03:08Bellatrix becomes harder to hide
03:11We're going back into the manor
03:14Back where the darkness knows our name
03:18Back through the halls that broke us
03:22Back through the fear and flame
03:26Let the old walls hear us coming
03:29Let the cellar feel us near
03:33We are walking through the nightmare
03:36But we are not prisoners here
03:40Hold your breath and stay beside me
03:44One wrong sound and all is lost
03:47We're going back into the manor
03:51No matter what it costs
03:55Night falls
03:56Foreshadows apparate into the forest
03:59Beyond the gates
04:00Beyond the gates the manor rises through the trees
04:02Black stone beneath the winter freeze
04:09Draco leads them to the boundary then slowly through the gardens
04:13White no voices stir behind the windows
04:16No warning cuts across the night
04:18The mining follows close behind him
04:21Her wand held ready at her side
04:24Each silent step toward the building
04:27Makes the cellar wake inside
04:31Then something moves beyond the head
04:34The sudden flash of ghostly white
04:36White feathers burst across the pathway
04:38Silver in the pale moonlight
04:40Your mining nearly cries aloud
04:42One hand pressed hard against her mouth
04:44Mom jumps back and grips his wand
04:46As the shape comes gliding out
04:47A white peacock stands before them
04:49Proud and silent in the snow
04:51Its long tail trails across the garden
04:53Heavy feather faintly aglow
04:56Wrong reads out and butter softly
04:58Of course the mouthfuls of guard peacocks
05:01Harry turns and gives him a warning glare
05:05While Draco almost answers back
05:08The bird walks slowly past the oar
05:12Its pale head turning as they move
05:16It watches them cross the frozen path
05:19But makes no sound and gives no proof
05:23They leave it standing in the moonlight
05:25And reach the narrow servant's door
05:29Draco lifts his hand toward the lock
05:33The house he fled waits there once more
05:40We're going back into the manor
05:43Back where the darkness knows our name
05:47But she returns no longer helpless
05:50And he returns no longer change
05:55Let the old walls hear us come in
05:58Let the cellar feel us near
06:02We have crossed the frozen gardens
06:05We have walked straight through the fear
06:09Hold your breath and stay beside me
06:13Keep your wand and footsteps low
06:16We're going back into the manor
06:19And no one there can know
06:24Back into the manor
06:26Where the worst of us was born
06:31Back into the manor
06:33To bring them safely home
06:37To bring them safely home
06:50As she sees the corridor she knows
06:54Draco stops beside the others
06:57Ahead the cellar doors appear
07:01Hermione stares into the darkness
07:05And every old wound wakes with fear
07:08Ahead
07:09Soció
07:09You
