A/N: I do not own Harry Potter. This is a song challenge featuring various characters in different situations (some AU) and pairings (chance of Slash). Let me know what you think!

Anything for You – Evanescence

"I'm not who you think I am. I've changed."

"I'll believe it when I see it. How many times have you mocked me, called me names. I know what you think about me."

"Really, so you know I think you're smarter than me, that you're giving me a challenge in being top of our class." Hermione froze.

"Wait, what? That's why you act like you hate me?"

"Yes."

"It has nothing to do with me being a muggle born?"

"Of course not," Draco lied. This conversation was moving slower than he had hoped. If only he could convince Granger that he was on her side.

"And I should believe you because?"

"Why would I lie?"

"Because you're you." Draco laughed.

"There is that, but really Granger, think about it? What alterior motive could I possibly have? It's just a study date."

A Demon's Fate – Within Temptation

Draco watched them file into the room. The whole court was full waiting to see if he was going to be found guilty. He hoped he would be cleared.

He knew it wasn't realistic. He was a Malfoy, his father had been convicted for all his crimes. Draco knew everyone believed the apple hadn't fallen far from the tree this time.

His mother was sitting in the front row. Her eyes were red with tears. He hated seeing her like this. She had stood by his father for so long, now she might lose them both.

If only Dumbledore had lived, he could have vouched for Draco. He probably wouldn't have though.

"You have been accused of murder and acts against the wizarding world. How do you plead?"

"Not guilty," Draco's defender stated loudly.

"And what defense do you offer?"

"Mr. Malfoy was coerced into his actions. His mother's life was at stake as was his own."

"And does anyone here vouch for Mr. Malfoy?" The courtroom fell silent. Then door swung open and a figure in black stormed in.

"I do," he stated. Draco blinked in disbelief. Standing before the entire court stood Severus Snape.

Wish I Had an Angel – Nightwish

Ron walked past the shop, his hand holding hers. Draco watched the seemingly happy couple enter the bookstore. He frowned and followed them. He had been planning on buying a book anyway. It wasn't like he was deliberately following them.

No, I'm just going the same way, he thought to himself. He couldn't help but notice the way Hermione's skirt clung to her behind. He quickly turned his head to keep anyone from noticing he'd been staring. Ron had a jealous streak.

He didn't need to give the red haired weasel one more reason to hate him. Draco had tried to patch things up with his former classmates once. It hadn't gone well. His eyes had wandered back to Hermione.

She was leaning down looking at something on a bottom shelf. Ron was standing over her possessively. Draco's fingers curled into his palm. He would have never stood guard over her like that.

Dangerous – Within Temptation

"Draco, come," his father ordered. Draco blinked, frozen by the fighting around him. He had seen his classmates die. For what? This pure-blood ideal? He wasn't even sure he believed it anymore.

All his blood status seemed to bring was pain and destruction. His mother was looking at his father. She shook her head and took a step away. Slowly she walked over to Draco, slid her hand into his.

Draco gave her a brief smile. She had given him the courage he needed. The pair was swallowed by the fighting. This time, Draco didn't hesitate as he fought on the side of light. He hoped Harry would win this night.

"Watch out," someone screamed. Draco saw a wall falling. With his mother by his side, they propelled it backwards away from the people on the ground. One of the Weasley twins gave him a thumbs up before returning to the fight. Something in Draco's mind told him he had saved the older boy. He had never saved anyone before. He rather liked the feeling.
