[/ Jar of Hearts \]


Hermione was sitting down in front of her piano behind the stage curtain. She remembered why she was there. She won the talent show last Friday night with the song Price Tag by Jessie J.

Now she was going to sing the song Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri. She remembered that Harry, Ron, Ginny, Neville, and Luna had come and visit her about a few minutes ago.

Hermione was getting very nervous. She remembered why she chose this song. She chose this song because of Draco, her current boyfriend.

Now she was smoothing her dress down. She remembered why Draco made her chose this song. She saw him kiss and snog with girls other than her.

But now, she was gonna tell everyone - especially Draco - through a song. A song that Hermione knows her relationship with Draco really relates to.

Hermione gathered herself back up, and right on time. The curtain had parted and now everyone in the Great Hall could see her. She smiled. She saw Draco wave to her. Her smile disappeared.

Taking a deep breath, Hermione activated her head microphone. She set her fingers on the piano and began to play.


I know I can't take one more step towards you

'Cause all that's waiting is regret

Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore

You lost the love I love the most

I learned to live half-alive

And now you want me one more time

Who do you think you are

Running 'round leaving scars

Collecting your jar of hearts

And tearing love apart

You're gonna catch a cold

From the ice inside your soul

So don't come back for me

Who do you think you are

I hear you're asking all around

If I am anywhere to be found

But I have grown too strong

To ever fall back in your arms

I learned to live half-alive

And now you want me one more time

Who do you think you are

Running 'round leaving scars

Collecting your jar of hearts

And tearing love apart

You're gonna catch a cold

From the ice inside your soul

So don't come back for me

Who do you think you are

Dear it took so long just to feel alright

Remember how you put back the light in my eyes

I wish that I missed the first that we kissed

'Cause you broke all your promises

And now you're back

You don't get to get me back

Who do you think you are

Running 'round leaving scars

Collecting your jar of hearts

You're gonna catch a cold

From the ice inside your soul

So don't don't come back for me

Don't come back at all

Don't come back at all

Who do you think you are

Hermione stopped playing the song. She looked at the audience and saw that all of the girls were crying, and boys were trying not to cry. The song had been very emotional.

Hermione looked to Draco. He was frowning and had his eyebrows raised. He was asking her silently if the song meant that they were broken up.

Hermione frowned at him. She was silently telling him that they were over. Draco's eyebrows dropped and his frown became more defined. He hung his head and looked down at his shoes.

Then he looked up and started to clap. Everyone followed suit. There were tears in Draco's eyes and he wasn't afraid to show Hermione.

Hermione was boring into him for a few more seconds before getting up to curtsey.
