The Young man

In a little town, which was far away from any other town, a young man was walking down the street.
The young man did exactly the same thing everyday.
At 7 pm he would leave the pub he was staying at and take a walk.
He would walk around the town and sometimes he would walk to the forest that lay a little outside the town.
He was a very handsome young man, he had silvery blond hair, grey-blue eyes, he was quite tall and his body was very muscular.
He was wearing a long black coat and under it he was wearing a black jersey and a pair of jeans.
He stopped op to look at his watch.
"5 past 8, I better hurry", he thought.
He hurried towards the pub, and he was there a minute later.
He looked at the sign over the door "The Second Home" it said.
This was where all the people, in the town came to relax.
He opened the door and walked in.
It was nice and warm inside, unlike outside where the wind and the temperature, showed that is was in the middle of November.
The young man took a seat at a table in the far back, as he used to.
There where a lot of people tonight, and he knew why.
Everyday at 8 pm there would be a stage in the pub, and people where aloud to walk onto the stage and sing.
And every night the same girl would walk up and sing, and everyone loved her.
She had the most incredible singing voice and she was very beautiful too.
Her name was Julia and she was the pub owner's niece.
The pub owner Jack, walked onto the stage and took the microphone in his hands "Welcome everyone," he said while he looked around.
"It is my great pleasure to introduce, my one and only niece, Miss Julia Jason"
The girl named Julia walked onto the stage; everyone started to clap when they saw her.
"Yes she is definitely very beautiful" the young man said to himself.
She had blond wavy hair that went down to her chest, deep blue eyes and her skin was almost milky white.
She was wearing a pair of dark, tight jeans and a black shirt that said "The Second Home" in a lime green colour, on the back and on the front was a little green flower.
She took the microphone in her hands "Thank you all, for that warm welcoming" she said and smiled at the crowd, "Tonight I would like to sing a song by Kelly Clarkson, it's called "hear me""
She started singing,

"You gotta be out there, you goota be somewhere, where ever you are I'm waiting..
'cause there are these nights when, I sing myself to sleep, and I'm hoping my dreams bring you close to me, are you listening? Hear me I'm crying out I'm ready now, turn my world up side down, find me I'm lost inside the crowd, it's getting loud, I need you to see, I'm screaming for you to please, hear me, can you hear me? I used to be….."

The young man felt hypnotized by her voice, it sounded so beautiful, and he closed his eyes.
He remembered the day he first came here; he was running away from the death eaters and the dark lord.
"You can run all you want, but I'll still find you Draco!" an evil voice shouted out in the nigh "It is your turn to die Draco, but run, hide, I'll find you, you know I will".
"Yes, I know, but it's not now" Draco thought, but he didn't say it, he just ran as fast as he could.
The dark lord's words repeated themselves in his mind "I'll find you… It's your turn to die… run.. hide".
But it was true, he would be found, the dark lord always got what he wanted, and he wanted Draco.
It was his turn to die, the last Malfoy to die.
His mother had been killed the same day as Dumbledor, and his father short after.
It was a terrible memory, he didn't really care about his farther, it was actually a relief that he was dead.
But his mother, he loved his mother so much, and because Draco couldn't kill Dumbledore, the dark lord decided to kill his mother, as a punishment.
When Draco had stopped running he was standing outside a muggle town, "I'll stay here" he thought "he thinks that I hate muggle's, so he won't look here".

He heard Julia's voice sing "…hear me" and then she stopped.
He opened his eyes again.
Applause broke out as soon as she had stopped; it seemed unusual loud, since it had been very quiet when Julia sang.
"Thank you," she said smiling "I'm very flattered, but I think it's time for me to step down from the stage and introduce my dear friend" she jumped elegantly down from the stage and walked over to another beautiful girl.
This girl had long, brown, curly hair and chocolate brow eyes.
She was wearing a pair of jeans and a plain white shirt.
This girl was the reason why he had stayed in this town.
"Come on Laura" Julia said to the girl while dragging her up to the stage.
"Ladies and Gentlemen" she said, while she looked over the crowd in front of her.
"My friend, Miss Laura Dylan" Julia gave the microphone to Laura.
"Ermm, I guess I would like to sing?" she said while looking sceptically at Julia.
"So this is also a Kelly Clarkson song and it's called "behind these hazel eyes""
And she started singing in a very beautiful voice.

"Seems like just yesterday, you were a part of me, I used to stand so tall, I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight, everything it felt so right, unbreakable, like nothing could go wrong,
Now I can't breathe, no I can't sleep, I'm barely hanging on
Here I am, once again, I'm torn into pieces, can't deny it, can't pretend,
Just thought you were the one,
Broken up, deep inside…."

Draco closed his eyes ones again, now thinking of this girl.
The first time he saw her, he didn't really see her, not the girl she was only where she came from.
The muggle world.
His farther had always told him that muggleborns were filthy and they had dirty blood.
They weren't worthy enough to use magic.
But Draco learned that this was very wrong.

"…I'm torn into pieces, can't deny it, can't pretend, just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside, but you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes"

Once again applause broke out in the silent pub, and the girl smiled, said thank you and walked of the stage.
Draco watched her walk over to Julia, who was jumping up and down in excitement.
"You very bloody brilliant Laura!" he heard Julia say while hugging Laura.
Laura just smiled and said something, that Draco couldn't hear, but he could she her take a long brown coat on, while she was walking towards the door.
"She's leaving?" Draco thought to himself when he saw her open the door and walk out.
He took two seconds to decide that he would follow her.

Outside the pub, he saw her walking down the street.
He ran after her, hoping to catch her before she was gone.
She was walking very fast and was at the end of the street, when he decided to call her.
"Hermione.."
The girl stood in chock, she didn't believe her ears.
"I'm just tired" she said to herself, and she started to walk again.
"Hermione, please, wait… Hermione"
