00:21DRAGOR
00:22Draco lifts the wards with shaking hands
00:25Snow and spell fire buried in the land
00:29Harry stands where guilt has left him pale
00:32Words caught sharp behind a breath that fails
00:36I thought you were Bellatrix, he says
00:39Voice gone thin with everything he dreads
00:44Hermione tries to smile but it won't stay
00:47Pain still written where the curse had made its way
00:52Ron is sitting frozen on the ground
00:55Still feeling
00:57Crucio echo through him now
00:59A small aftershocks beneath his skin
01:03A horror he can keep buried in
01:07And then he looks at Hermione's head
01:10Still trembling like
01:13Gets trapped again
01:14Six weeks he thinks and nearly breaks
01:18How did she survive what one curse takes?
01:24The one brief breath the hurt goes quiet
01:27The jealousy the fear the fight
01:31He only sees the girl he likes
01:35Still shaking from another night
01:39Let me carry you too
01:43Let me take some of the weight
01:47If the dark is coming through
01:51Don't shut me out again
01:55We're breaking in different places
01:59We're bleeding in different ways
02:03But if we fall apart now
02:06Then the war gets what it came to take
02:11Let me carry you too
02:15Even if I don't know how
02:19Let me carry you too
02:22We need each other now
02:27Wrong gets up to the snow and strain
02:30Steps toward her through his own old pain
02:32No speech, no answer, nothing planned
02:34Just open arms and a shaking hand
02:35Hermione's lips begin to shake
02:37Then she folds into him and breaks
02:39Tears fall hot where the cold wind bites
02:41And something heavy loosens for a little while
02:44Harry's mind goes back to the chain
02:46A Draco tearing it free from the pain
02:48If gold can make him curse his friends
02:50How can he trust his hands, his head
02:52Then Hermione's voice comes low and clear
02:54Only Meveron and Harry near
02:55I think we need Draco with this
02:57And the silence turns around to wish
02:59Harry looks toward Mount Boy through the snow
03:01To every ear of hate they know
03:03Towers, shadows, old school scars
03:05A lowered wand beneath the stars
03:07He could've called a dark lord in
03:09Could've traded them all to save his skin
03:11When he brought the snatchers, pulled Harry through
03:13Saved from mining
03:14Saved Ron in two
03:15Harry says nothing for one long beat
03:19Then odds once tired and incomplete
03:23Ron frowns hard and asks you sure
03:26Harry says no
03:28But this can't go on anymore
03:32Let me carry it too
03:35Let me take some of the weight
03:40If the dark is coming through
03:45Don't shut me out again
03:48We're breaking in different places
03:52We're bleeding in different ways
03:56But if we fall apart now
03:59Then the war, guess what it came to take?
04:04Let me carry it too
04:06Oh oh oh oh oh oh
04:08Even if I don't know how
04:12Let me carry it too
04:16We need each other now
04:20Cut to the burrow, panic at the door
04:23Bill and Fred already crossing the floor
04:25Arthur comes in with winter on his coat
04:27Molly turns before he speaks a note
04:29Is Ginny home? He asked already afraid
04:31But the clock says lost where her name is laid
04:33Devil's warning cuts the room in two
04:35Death Eaters on the train, Bellatrix too
04:37They came for Luna, Neville said
04:39Ginny helped her run instead
04:41Not taken yet, not safely home
04:43Two girls vanished into snow alone
04:45When every Weasley moves but not blind
04:47Fear in the blood and a plan in mind
04:49Bill Fred Arthur into the coals
04:51Following any trace, the storm still holds
04:53Flirt stays back in case Ginny returns
04:55Hope kept lit while the hardfire burns
04:56Molly and George still of good store
04:58Waiting for news no one can ignore
05:00Back at the table, the locket lies
05:02Sleeping snake with golden eye
05:04Harry lets out one exhausted breath
05:06He speaks the secret shaped like death
05:09A piece of his soul
05:11He says at last
05:13Hidden in things from the past
05:17There are more we have to find
05:20Every piece he left behind
05:24Draco stares like the wound turns strange
05:26Like the whole war just grew water and rain
05:28He knew it was dark, knew it was wrong
05:30But not that death had been split for so long
05:32Fear moves cold beneath his ribs
05:33But under that another flicker lives
05:36Potter told him, Potter chose
05:37To open the secret no enemy knows
05:39It's something buried under you
05:41Just sneers and pride and schoolboy fears
05:43Stirs beneath the ashen pain
05:45Like trust might make him human again
05:51Hermione hears bitter eyes drip down
05:53Fingers locked where they still spasm now
05:55Bellatrix lingers under her skin
05:57Ron and Draco pull at her within
05:59Might fight hard to drown her heart
06:01To drag the mission back to the start
06:03Then one thought rises sharp and clean
06:05A basilisk fang in a chamber unseen
06:11We have to go to Hogwarts, she says
06:14And three faces turn at once from dread
06:19It's dangerous, I know, but we need a way
06:22The chamber may still have what can make it break
06:26The guilt breaks through her careful tone
06:29All of this fractious I should have known
06:33I lost myself in what I feel
06:36When the only thing that matters is making him kneel
06:41No more pulling us apart
06:43No more secrets where they rot the heart
06:47We win together or we don't win at all
06:51We stop breaking before he makes us fall
06:56But fear still catches in her chest
07:01The thought of sleeping without rest
07:05Harry looks at Ron and Ron looks down
07:07Then whispers like the words might drown
07:11Then she sleeps beside Malfoy
07:15Until she can't sleep alone again
07:19Hermione looks up, unsure and torn
07:23And Draco gives the smallest smile he can
07:27Let me carry it too
07:29Let me take some of the weight
07:31If the dark is coming through
07:33Don't shut me out again
07:35We're breaking in different places
07:37Breaking in different ways
07:39But if we fall apart now
07:41Then the war gets what it came to take
07:45Let me carry it too
07:47Even if I don't know how
07:49Let me carry it too
07:50We need each other now
07:59Later in the narrow washroom light
08:03Draco studies the cut at his temple
08:07A curse had open skin and pride
08:10Leaving red beneath the silver white
08:14Hermione steps in
08:16Soft and slow
08:18A shy smile hiding what she doesn't know
08:22You're getting rather good at saving me
08:25She says
08:26And almost laughs through everything
08:30He looks at her through silver glass
08:33And for one bright second the war steps back
08:38She lifts her wand, her voice unsure
08:41Careful where the wound is sore
09:14Let me help you there
09:15Borrow time
09:17Too much unsaid
09:19Too close, too high
09:20And neither one knows where to put the light
09:24Let me carry it too
09:26Let me stand where I can stay
09:28If your hands are shaking through
09:30What the curse won't take away
09:32I won't ask for all your answers
09:34I won't force the war somehow
09:36Just let me be beside you
09:38You're the pieces of right now
09:42Let me carry it too
09:44Even if we don't know how
09:46Let me carry it too
09:47We need each other now
09:53A locket waits a chamber cause
09:55A red name lost beyond the snow
09:57A broken group around one flame
09:59Herm's trust is not the same as home
10:01And in the mirror's fragile light
10:03Two hearts stand closer than they should
10:05For one still raised
10:06His breath held there
10:08And neither one steps back
10:16And neither one steps back
