Chapter One – Singing Angel

Draco Malfoy walked slowly down one of the many halls of Hogwarts. He had just got back form a meeting with the Headmaster, a meeting that he was definitely regretting. Dumbledore had told him that if his Arithmancy grade did not improve that he would fail, and with graduation so close at hand… Well Draco was not spending another year at Hogwarts. He would sooner die then stay another year. So the solution, according to Dumbledore because Professor Vector was such a busy teacher, that Draco would have to get a tutor. Someone who was at the top of the class, and would not mess up there grade as well. That meant that Draco would have to work with a Miss Hermione Granger.

Snapping out of his thoughts Draco looked at his surroundings, and realized that he had walked right pass the door that lead to the music room. Why Granger was in the music room, Draco did not know.

Looking around the large room, he saw that it was empty of human life. He was starting to turn around when he heard the sound of a piano coming out of one of the practice rooms. Stepping closer he realized that not only was a piano being played but there was someone singing. Draco opened the door silently, and peered in. There sitting at the piano was two girls, with there backs turned to the door. Playing piano was Ginny Weasley, and singing was Hermione Granger.

You're not alone
Together we stand
I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand
When it gets cold
And it feels like the end
There's no place to go
You know I won't give in
No I won't give in

Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

Draco was amazed at the voice that Hermione had, it sounded as if it was coming from an angel, an angel that looked beautiful.

So far away
I wish you were here
Before it's too late, this could all disappear
Before the doors close
And it comes to an end
With you by my side I will fight and defend
I'll fight and defend
Yeah, yeah

Hermione had felt someone walk in, but was not about to stop. She was on a role, her and Ginny had got threw 6 songs now, and Hermione was not about to let someone coming in stop her and ruin her song.

Hear me when I say, when I say I believe
Nothing's gonna change, nothing's gonna change destiny
Whatever's meant to be will work out perfectly
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Draco continued to listen as Hermione sung.

La da da da
La da da da
La da da da da da da da da

Keep holding on
Keep holding on

There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

When the song was over Hermione smiled, and turned to look at who had walked in. Standing in the door way was Draco Malfoy.

"Malfoy what do you want?" Hermione asked as Draco continued to look at her.

"That was beautiful." Was all Draco could say.

Looking at him with a complicated look Hermione said the only thing that came to mind.

"Can I help you Malfoy?"

"Oh, umm yeah Dumbledore said that I was to come see you so that I could get help with my Arithmancy." Draco said coming out of he daze.

Looking at Ginny with a sorrowful look she told her that she would see her later that she had to do this favor for Dumbledore.

"No problem. If you need me just yell really high and I will come running."

Both girls laughed as Ginny gathered her things, and walked out of the practice room, pass Draco. Hermione turned and started to gather up her music, that she had been singing from, and then stuffed it into her bag.

"What was that you were singing?" Draco asked as he watched her.

"What? Oh the song, right of course, it's called keep holding on."

"It was beautiful. Did you write it?"

"No, it's a song that someone else wrote. I don't know who it was. But enough of that, Arithmancy. What do you not get about it?"

"Do you have forever?" Asked Draco as Hermione and him left the Music room, and made there way to the library.

Hermione laughed.

"I'm serious, because I don't understand one word of it." Draco said with defeat.

"Your kidding, how did you ever pass your O.W.Ls?"

"I understood it then, but it just keeps getting harder."

"Well then I guess we should skip the library, and go the Head's room." Hermione said walking away from the library doors, and making her way towards the south towers.

"Head what?" Draco asked confusion in his words.

"Draco you and I are head boy and girl, so we can go to the Head's Room… Snape told you about the Heads room right?" Hermione asked stopping to look at Draco properly.

"No he didn't, what is it and where is it?"

Hermione started to walk again as she told Draco about the Heads Room.

"It is a room that is in one of the South towers. Only the Head Boy and Girl are aloud to enter the room. I had wondered why I had not seen you in there but figured that you didn't want to be around a mudblood like me." Hermione said as she walked into a concealed door, that looked like a stone wall.

Once inside Draco grabbed Hermiones arm, and turned her around.

"What are you d"

"Hermione." Draco interrupted. "I don't actually think of you as a mudblood. That was always my father talking not me, I always had to say stuff like that when I am around Slytherins because they would have told my father in a heartbeat, now that he is dead haven't you noticed that I do not say things like that to you anymore?" Draco said as he looked deep into her eyes.

"I'm sorry. I didn't realize. I never really paid attention, whenever you would talk I just blocked it out."

"Well please don't ignore me anymore. OK, do we have a deal?"

Hermione thought for a second.

"First you have to prove to be good."

Draco rolled his eyes, and then continued to walk up the passageway, until they came to a dead end.

"Hermione, what are we doing in this passage, it is a dead end." He said turning around, and looking at her.

"Well actually it's not, do you see something different about this end?" She said making her way around Draco and to the very end, and the curved off end.

Silence, Hermione turned to look at Draco, who had a look of puzzlement on his face. Then like a title wave it hit him.

"Why would they build a dead-end if it was pointless? That would not make it pointless."

"Unless." Hermione egged him on.

"Unless there was meanings so this is were the room is… Isn't it?"

Hermione urged him out of the little round end, and then turned around and muttered "Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy, ask for the Head Room to appear before us, as we are the Head Boy and Girl of Hogwarts."

With loud CRACK there was a magical staircase that materialized from no were, and then started too winded up to areas unknown to Draco.

"After you." Draco said, motioning for Hermione to be first.

Hermione stepped upon the staircase, with Draco behind her.
