I'll just do this quickly

Thanks to Fabila Black for beta reading and being a great friend

Thanks to all my other friends for inspiration

Draco walked into the kitchen, looking... wary.

He scanned the room, quickly "she's not here," I told him "She's on an errand, for my dad I think." I smiled softly, I couldn't lie to him. He simply nodded satisfied with what I told him. He seemed unsure though and that killed me a little inside. Why, why did it hurt so much? Just because he was unsure?

"Your necklace?" I knew where this was going; I'd seen him look at it once or twice before. This would get dangerous "it's a horcrux, isn't it?" I didn't answer, I couldn't lie, "I won't tell anyone"

The pendant was of darkest crystal, a greenish snake curled around a sharp black stone.

"So… What do you do around here for fun" I smiled at the attempt to change the subject.

"I compose songs" I told him as I slowly shuffled towards the piano in the other room.

"Show me" his voice held no emotion, a mask, but I knew exactly how to remove it.

"ok" I replied in the seductive silk voice "follow me" a held out my hand, he took it without hesitation, adrenaline shot through me. Strange?

I sat at the piano, and placed the lyrics on the piano and began to play the intro.

I took a breath and was about to sing when another voice sang out instead

(AN- where Ashe joins in is in bold italics)

I don't know where I'm at

I'm standing at the back and I'm tired of waiting

Waiting here in line

Hoping that I'll find

What I've been chasing

Draco was singing. His voice was stunning, a deep tenor that sounded perfect and the emotion in the lyrics, intertwining a deeper meaning into every word. I couldn't help but join in.

I shot for the sky

I'm stuck on the ground

So why do I try

I know I'm gonna fall down

I thought I could fly

So why did I drown

I never know why

It'scomingdown,down,down

Not ready to let go

Cause then I'll never know

What I could be missing

But I'm missing way to much

So when do I give up

What I've been wishing for

I shot for the sky

I'm stuck on the ground

So why do I try

I know I'm gonna fall down

I thought I could fly

So why did I drown

I'll never know why

It's going down, down, down

Oh I am going down, down, down

Can't find another way around

And I don't wanna hear the sound

Of losing what I never found

I shot for the sky

I'm stuck on the ground

So why do I try

I know I'm gonna fall down

I thought I could fly

So why did I drown

I'll never know why

It's coming down, down, down

I shot for the sky

I'm stuck on the ground

So why do I try

I know I'm gonna fall down

I thought I could fly

So why did I drown

Oh it's coming down, down, down

A noise startled us and we looked round in unison, Narcissa stood in the door, an amused look in her eye "I forgot my phone" she said smiling sheepishly.

She quickly left, shutting the door softly behind her. I was glad.

I wanted Draco all to myself

Reviews are better than weekends
