Prologue - Time After Time

A/N: This is a Jack Sparrow/Hermione Granger pairing, I hope you like it. I feel in love with the ship after seeing a video of them on youtube. Enjoy and please review hehe.

Jack drank himself into a stupor, enjoying the feeling of numbness, the feeling of absolutely no feelings whatsoever as he took yet another swing of rum. He cursed at himself for ever thinking "Lizzie" could have feelings for him, a lowly Pirate, he felt like such a fool. She was still in love with the whelp and set to marry him. He let out a low growl of frustration, trying desperately to drink his feelings away.

Like a gift from the heavens, it was easy to tell,

It was love from above, that could save me from hell,

She had fire in her soul it was easy to see,

How the devil himself could be pulled out of me,

There were drums in the air as she started to dance,

Every soul in the room keeping time with their hands,

And we sang...

And we danced on into the night

Hermione threw herself onto her bed, her mind reeling with thoughts as she laid her head on a comfy pillow. Tears of frustration pricked at her eyes as she remembered how Ron was acting towards her, how he told her the other night how much he loved her and how they were meant to be together. Yet the following day, Harry had told her how he had seen the red head flirting shamelessly with Lavender Brown. A growl of frustration escaped her lips as she crushed the pillow into her chest. How could he tell her all these sweet things and go and act like a complete idiot the next? She felt like a bloody fool for ever thinking he could actually have feelings for her; that he actually meant the things he said to her.

Like a piece to the puzzle that falls into place,

You could tell how we felt from the look on our faces,

We was spinning in circles with the moon in our eyes,

No room left to move in between you and I,

We forgot where we were and we lost track of time,

And we sang to the wind as we danced through the night,
