"Don't Take the Girl"
By Dark Rogue
Author's Note: Yes, my first song fic., but come on! I couldn't resist turning this song into a FanFiction story. There are slight changes from the song into the story though, but you'll just have to deal. Trust me though, it will have a happy ending...I hope. ;)
Major Disclaimer: I do not, repeat, do not own Harry Potter or related characters, J.K. Rowling does. I also do not, repeat, do not own "Don't Take the Girl," by Tim McGraw, as far as I know, he and the record company, and the writer do, NOT ME!
Now...On with the story!
Song Lyrics
Johnny's daddy was takin him fishing When he was eight years old. A little girl came through the front gate Holdin a fishing pole His dad looked down and smiled Said we can't leave her behind Son I know you don't want her to go But someday you'll change your mind And Johnny said Take Jimmy Johnson Take Tommy Thompson Take my best friend Bo Take anybody that you want as Long as she don't go Take any boy in the world Daddy please- don't take the girl
Same old boy Same sweet girl Ten years down the road He held her tight and kissed her lips in Front of the picture show Stranger came and pulled a gun Grabbed her by the arm Said if you do what I tell you to do There won't be any harm And Johnny said Take my money Take my wallet Take my credit cards Here's the watch that my grandpa gave me Here's the key to my car Mister give it a whirl But please-don't take the girl
Same old boy Same sweet girl Five years down the road There's gonna be a little one And she says it's time to go Doctor says the baby's fine But you'll have to leave Cause his momma's fading fast And Johnny hit his knees And there he prayed Take the very breath you gave me Take the heart from my chest I'll gladly take her place If you'll let me Make this my last request Take me out of this world God please-don't take the girl
Johnny's daddy was taking him fishing When he was eight years old...
Now, on with the story!
Chapter One - Night Holds Secrets
Draco jumped awake in a cold sweat. He couldn't believe that this was how he had spent the last two months, at night; falling asleep, and then waking back up at the same time and the same way, every night. Ever since he had found out he felt about.. Her.
Draco slowly climbed out of bed and walked over to his dresser and mirror. There, he picked up a glass of water and faced the mirror.
There, in the reflection, he saw his 17-year-old self. For being older, he hadn't changed much. His hair was still platinum blonde, but no longer slicked back. No, now it hung loosely around his face. He was also a good 6 feet tall; no longer the short, lanky boy he used to be.
As Draco turned around to go back to bed, he admired his room, and was proud to be Head Boy. He no longer had to share a dorm room. Not like it mattered though. Crabbe and Goyle were both dead because of the 'Final Battle.' It was then that Voldemort had been destroyed and things were now back at peace. The death eaters had vanished, and the wizarding world had been rebuilt. Draco's father, Lucius, had also been one of those who had died in the war. Draco had been the one to kill him. It didn't bother him though. Lucius was evil and unkind to everything, including Draco's mother. He had killed her around Draco's fifth year. That was the main thing that made Draco change in life. He didn't want to turn out like his father. At this moment though, that was old news, he thought. Now, he was interested in something totally new and different; the girl that had taken faith in him, Hermione Granger.
He couldn't believe how much she had changed. She was no longer the bushy haired, buck-toothed know-it-all Granger he had known during earlier years at Hogwarts. She was beautiful. Her hair was now fine and straight, and hung down to her hips that swayed ever so slightly when she walked. Her teeth were pearly white and straight. She wore just the right amount of make-up, and every guy wanted her, including himself. She had only ever dated one guy though, he thought, and that was Victor Krum, back in their fourth year. Everyone else, she had turned down, as if she was expecting someone better to come along, but knew that it wouldn't happen.
She was the Head Girl that year, too. She and Draco had to share a Bathroom and a Common Room and work together, but she didn't seem to mind. They were on a first name basis, and seemed comfortable in each other's presence now. Ever since he had changed, she seemed to have changed with him. She was no longer cruel to him, and vise versa. They were starting to become friends, but he wanted to do more than be her friend. He wanted to always be there when she would need him.
Author's Note: All right, so how was it? Give me your opinion, as long as you don't flame me for stupid stuff. Leave me a review. I always respond to my reviewers. By the way, the next chapter will be longer than this, and much more interesting, if you didn't find this interesting. Check out my other Draco and Hermione stories, you'll probably like them, if you like this one. Well, got to go. Homework calls! Bye!
