:: Ok, so for those of you who watch Glee you'll know that Kurt and Rachel sing the song "For Good" from the absolutely amazing musical Wicked. Anyways I love this song and actually cried (beside the point), but I thought it would fit perfectly with Draco and Hermione after the seventh book. Not necessarily romance but could be taken that way. Mainly friendship.

/ / memory
Draco:
I'm limited
/"Serpent Sortia..."/
Just look at me - I'm limited
/"Filthy little mudblood-"/
And just look at you
You can do all I couldn't do, Hermione
/"Wingardium Leviosa,"
"Oh, look here everyone, Miss Granger's done it!"/
So now it's up to you
For both of us - now it's up to you...
Hermione:
I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
/"Look, Draco, is it them?"
"I- I can't be sure-"/
Bringing something we must learn
/"I didn't know what it meant but it must have been bad,"
"Mudblood is a foul name for someone who is muggleborn,"/
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
/"Come on! It's catching up! Draco, take my hand, the fire is geeting out of control!"/
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you...
/"Make sure you get higher marks this year, Draco. We can't have that little mudblood beating you again, now can we?"/
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good
Draco:
It well may be
That we will never meet again
/"And it is with deepest pride that I announce, Miss Hermione Granger, head girl, valedictorian and war hero will be leaving Hogwarts to travel the world representing a self-managed society that goes by the name of SPEW."/
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
/"You don't have to do this, Draco."
"But I do-"/
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
/SMACK/
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend...
/"Why did you save us?"
"I didn't save you,"
"But you didn't rat us out either,"/
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
Hermione:
Because I knew you
(Both):
I have been changed for good
Draco:
And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done you blame me for
/"Dumbledore was a great man, Hermione, Draco aided in his death, I don't know if I can forgive that."
"Just try, Harry, for me?"/
Hermione:
But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share
/"You foul, loathsome, evil little cockroach!"
"Hermione leave him, he's not worth it-"
SMACK/
(Both):
And none of it seems to matter anymore
Hermione:
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Draco:
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a bird in the wood
(Both):
Who can say if I've been
Changed for the better?
I do believe I have been
Changed for the better
Hermione:
And because I knew you...
Draco:
Because I knew you...
(Both):
Because I knew you...
/They nodded goodbye as they watched their children leave them behind ready to start Hogwarts, where their own adventures awaited them./
I have been changed for good...
