Two heroes fallen by the wand of Voldemort. There is nothing to be done. Lying on the floor covered in blood, pain washes through him and it's not from the open wounds on his body. Inspiration from the song "Heroes" by Mika, not a songfic. Highly recommended to listen to it before/while reading. No lemon. Rated for blood, etc.

It is six months after the war. Hermione has went through pain and loss, but finds herself the apprentice of Severus Snape. What will happen when her heart starts to tell her that it may now belong to her professor? Will they find love and happiness or only hurt and misery? Rated T to be safe. First few chapters are short but they pick up tremendously after that so hang in there!
