Disclaimer:
I do not own Harry Potter, nor any of the characters from the books or movies. I do not make any money from the writing of this story.
Hero
A/N: Ok I do not own any of the characters or the song (mores the pity). The characters belong to J.K.Rowling and the song (Hero) to Chad Kroeger & Josey Scott etc. etc.
This is a little song fic I wrote for a contest on The Hideaway ( http://thaelixir.proboards49.com )
And I thought I would post it here for your entertainment (I hope) while I battle with writers block on my other fics. *sigh*
I must warn you there is a character death in this. I don’t enjoy killing of characters so please don’t hate me! It’s not Beta’d either so I apologize for any bad spelling and bad grammar. Please Review! No Flames! People who flame will be pelted with Hamster droppings! You have been warned!

I am so high, I can hear heaven
I am so high, I can hear heaven
Black eyes looked up into the equally black, starless sky. Only a sliver of a moon cast a cold dusting of light on the forest where the owner of those black eyes, Severus Snape lay barely conscious. His slow ragged breaths became shallow as his eyes closed.
Whoa, but heaven
No, heaven
Don\'t hear me
**1 hour earlier**
Blinding white light. As often as he had been subjected to the curse he would never get used to the pain and the dazzling lights that assaulted his eyes as he closed them. One might find it ironic that the most beautiful of colours Severus had ever seen where presented to him in the form of the cruciatus curse, thrown by the Dark Lord no less. Severus tried desperately to stop himself from crying out this time but as his mouth filled with blood from his lip he had been biting hard to stifle the screams, he gave in to the Dark Lords wishes and vocalised his agony.
\"Severus you disappoint me\" Voldermort hissed as Severus swore loudly. \"You think I wouldn\'t know what your up too?\"
As the curse was lifted a swift kick from the Dark Lord\'s boot connected with Severus’s ribs with a sickening crack and Severus laughed. He didn\'t know why he was doing it, maybe he\'d finally undergone enough cruciatus curses to drive him insane but whatever the reason, he didn\'t hold back. Not even when the other death eaters joined in the brutal beating.

And they say
That a hero could save us
I\'m not gonna stand here and wait
I\'ll hold onto the wings of the eagles
Watch as we all fly away
** Yesterday**
\"When?\" she looked up at him with wide eyes and a calm face.
\"Third week in June\" He said softly.
\"Graduation...\" It wasn\'t a question; she dropped her gaze to the floor and studied a crack in the stone.
\"Hermione...\" he started.
\"Shhh... just hold me...\" She buried her head into his chest drinking in his smell and holding him close to her. She felt safe here, which might be considered odd due to the amount of time she had spent feeling terrified by his presence in the classroom in previous years but things had changed since then. Hermione was about to graduate, 2 weeks from now in fact and she couldn\'t wait. She would be with the love of her life finally and have no more fears about getting caught. No more chaste kisses in the shadows, hurried words of devotion in the brief moments they had alone together, no more brief longing looks over the table when no one was watching...they could final admit their love and for them both graduation couldn\'t come soon enough.
Severus buried his face in her curls breathing in her in as he held her. He was sick of waiting for this war to end. He\'d just delivered word to Dumbledore of Voldermort’s plans for what he intended to be his final assault and now he mulled over the words of both of his masters in his head. He could switch back sides again...fight for Voldermort and claim Hermione as his reward... Whichever side won their relationship would still be looked upon with disgust...but Hermione would die for the greater good. As much as she loved him he knew what it meant to her that Voldermort die, that the Dark where defeated. He wished he could end it for her, protect her from all that would do her harm in this world. He was sure he could do it; he didn\'t need that Potter fool. Yes that was it, he\'d kill Voldermort himself...or lead him into a trap...he\'d do it for her.

Someone told me
Love would all save us
But how can that be
Look what love gave us
**Earlier that day**
\"Potter...a word\" He sneered as he swept passed, not looking back to see if he was following. Severus swooped into his empty classroom and stood facing his desk as he waited for the supposed saviour of the wizarding world to catch up.
\"Sir?\" Harry\'s voice came from the doorway behind him.
\"Shut the door....I have something I\'d like to discuss with you.\"
****
A world full of killing
And blood spilling
That world never came
**5 minutes earlier**
\"Avada kedavra\" Harry Potter\'s and Lord Voldermort\'s voice rang out through the night.
A green light shot past his shoulder as Severus lunged to his right. As badly beaten as he was, his reflexes remained sharp. He clutched his broken ribs and ran, ducking and rolling to avoid the curses fired by those who he at one time, a dark time, called friends.
He turned and felt the familiar squeeze of apperation just a purple light hit him, when opened his eyes, he collapsed.

\'Pop\'
\"Professor?!\" A frantic voice asked.
Severus opened his eyes
\"Did you get him?\" He wheezed
\"Are you alright?\"
Severus coughed and blinked to clear the blurred film across his eyes.
\"Did you get him?\" he growled slightly this time.
\"Yes...he\'s dead\" The figure came into view, running a shaking hand through his hair and past his scar.
\"Good....\" Severus whispered
\"I\'m going to get the headmaster.\" Harry muttered as he looked over his battle worn professor.
Now that the world isn\'t ending
It\'s love that I\'m sending to you
It isn\'t the love of a hero
And that\'s why I fear it won\'t do
\"Severus?\" A small voice woke him again
\"Severus, oh my God!\" Hermione ran to him and pulled him into her arms.
\"Please don\'t leave me\" she whispered into his ear as tears ran down her face. She cradled his head in her arms and pulled the long black strands of hair from his face.
\"I love you Hermione, I\'m so sorry I couldn\'t do it....I\'m sorry.\" He looked up into her tearful eyes and winced as he tried to lift his arm
\"What couldn\'t you do? Why are you sorry?\" She frowned as she studied his face, her thumb stroking his cheek.
\"I couldn\'t kill him... Harry did, I\'m sorry.... I want him to look after you....I love you so much.\" He shut is eyes as a wave of tremors ran through his body.
\"Severus I don\'t understand?\" She cried
\"Love you....\" He whispered and sank into her arms, giving into the deep sleepy feeling that called out to him.
And they say
That a hero could save us
I\'m not gonna stand here and wait
I\'ll hold onto the wings of the eagles
Watch as we all fly away
\"Miss Granger?\" Dumbledore\'s voice asked softly as he approached the sobbing girl.
\"Headmaster, he....he’s....\" She broke down again, clutching the black figure to her.
\"Severus...\" Dumbledore shook his head sorrowfully
And they\'re watching us
They\'re watching us
As we all fly away
