Additional Disclaimer: I don't own anything in the Doctor Who verse, too, nor do I make any money from writing this drabble.

A/N: Review replies can be found on the AFFnet forum as always (see previous chapter for the link). Drabble written for the Volmione drabble challenge at the Tomione forum.

Prompt: Lacrimosa (I used it with regards to its weeping meaning).

AFFnet Code: Character Death (major)

Lacrimosa

They'd been unable to destroy it as they'd been ordered to do. Wanting to make sure there would be no possibility remaining that Lord Voldemort would ever return, the decision was made to vanquish all that was even remotely connected to him. Unspeakable Hermione Jean Granger looked in annoyance at the grave site of Riddle Sr. She'd disintegrated every bone and even the plaque, but the one thing remaining was that enormous statue of Death. Why none of her spells worked on it baffled her.

She glared at it furiously; her company had already given up, stating that tomorrow was another day, but she just couldn't let it go. It felt like a personal affront that she couldn't destroy that statue. Her eyes took in every detail from the skull, the ribs, the hood, the angel wings to the robes and the scythe.

She blinked ...

and got the shock of a lifetime. She was no longer on the graveyard. Instead, she was at Godric's Hollow, standing at the gate of the Potter residence with right in front of her the unmistakable figure of the Dark Lord. Underneath the dark hood, his red, slit-pupilled eyes burned at her in that white snakelike face. Frozen in shock, she just stood there, not understanding what had happened and how she got here. A bright green light surrounded her and her body plummeted to the ground with a thud.

"Don't blink," Lord Voldemort advised dryly as he glided past her corpse.
