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
