Hey! It's Katie! This is my first one-shot fanfic! It's called SOS from a song by Good Charlotte!

Hermione made her way onto the Hogwarts train for the last time. Ron and Harry were both dead, killed by Death Eaters. She had wanted to go and fight, but Lupin had given her a smaller, safer assignment. She could have saved them. She knew she could have.

She chose a car that was empty, and plugged in her Ipod, a cool muggle device her parents had gotten her. She knew it wouldn't work at Hogwarts, but she needed some music to match her mood. A muggle group by the name of Good Charlotte came on, and Hermione listened and let the tears flow.

Is anybody listening?
Can they hear me when I call?
I'm shooting signals in the air
'Cause I need somebody's help
I can't make it on my own
So I'm giving up myself
Is anybody listening?
Listening

I've been stranded here and I'm miles away
Making signals hoping they'd save me
I lock myself inside these walls
'Cause out there I'm always wrong
I don't think I'm gonna make it
So while I'm sitting here
On the eve of my defeat
I'll write this letter and hope it saves me

Is anybody listening?
Can they hear me when I call?
Shooting signals in the air
'Cause I need somebody's help
I can't make it on my own
So I'm giving up myself
Is anybody listening?
Listening

I'm stuck in my own head and I'm oceans away
Would anybody notice if I chose to stay?
I'll send an SOS tonight
Wonder if I will survive
How in the hell did I get so far away this time
So now I'm sitting here
The time of my departure's near
I say a prayer
Please someone save me

Is anybody listening?
Can they hear me when I call?
Shooting signals in the air
'Cause I need somebody's help
I can't make it on my own
So I'm giving up myself
Is anybody listening?
Listening

I'm lost here
I can't make it on my own
I don't wanna die alone
I'm so scared
Drowning now
Reaching out
Holding on to everything I know
Crying out
Dying now
Need some help

Is anybody listening?
Can you hear me when I call?
Shooting signals in the air
I need somebody's help
I can't make it on my own
So I'm giving up myself
Is anybody listening?


The train stopped with a jerk, and the song immediately stopped playing, shut down by the magic surrounding Hogwarts. She put it in her pocket, and left the train. She didn't hear anything, didn't see anything, and couldn't feel anything. She got into a carriage numbly and almost sat on someone.

"Hey! Watch it-oh, hey Hermione."

"Malfoy? What are you doing here?" Hermione whispered.

"My mother wanted me to finish out the year. She doesn't care if people hate me." Malfoy looked away and into the rain. "I suppose you wouldn't know how that feels, to have someone hate you."

"No, but I know how it feels to have lost someone dear," Hermione said quietly.

"How?"

"Listen." Hermione waved her wand to give her Ipod an extra bit of power, and let Malfoy listen to the song. His eyes widened.

"That's...that's me...." Malfoy started to cry. Hermione put an arm around him.

"Malfoy....Draco...I'm listening. And I'm here, and I can hear you when you call."

"I'll...I'll do the same for you Hermione. I promise. Just...I need a friend right now, please don't leave me?" Draco clutched at Hermione, and cried harder. "Despite what you said...you can't possibly know what it's like..."

"I'll never leave you." Hermione promised.

OK! That's it! How was it?
