They say that War is Hell.
Hermione watches him struggle to breathe, watches him as life seeps out of him.
Every part of her aches to go comfort Blaise in his final moments, to kiss the tears away and to devour his death.
But she can't reveal herself to her 'friends', can't let them know that she's turned down another road. So she watches him die, looking at him with compassion and love in her eyes.
The Dark Mark that burns under her arm, stamped on her ribcage, reminds her of the sacrifice she made to join them.
Breathe.
So she watches her beloved, Blaise, die.
