HAD TO REMOVE SONG LYRICS DUE TO A BREACH OF PRIVACY ACTS OR SOMETHING OF THAT SORT... MY ADVICE IS TO LISTEN TO THE SONG AS YOU READ I HAVE PLACED CUE'S SO YOU WILL KNOW WHERE IN THE SONG THE ACTION HAPPENS... MY APOLOGIES...

Same story as previous chapter, though this one is in Draco's point of view just for something different

Yes he is OOC BUT! this is fanfiction.. and with Dramione Pairing there is always going to be an element of OOC to Draco in order for him to be with Hermione.

Besides i believe that Draco is such a bad boy that if he ever fell in love he would do a complete turnaround... kinda A Walk To Remember scenario really when you think about it.

Anyways, enjoy.. and i hope you like it.

It was killing him. Slowly but surely he was dying from the inside. He used to scoff and sneer at the notion that people could claim to be dying of a broken heart, now he himself was living it. Ever since he had walked out on her after their argument Draco had felt nothing but pain and loneliness. He missed her, missed his Hermione, missed her more than he ever even dreamed he would. For the past week he had seen her avoid all possible contact with him, watched as she shrank into herself with pain and sorrow. At first he was furious, angry and hurt. He had returned all her owls unopened, too angry to even see what excuses she had written. But now, since the owls had stopped coming all he felt was pain, his pride being the only thing that stopped him from running back to her. His friends had commented on his demeanor but he had shrugged them all off, all except for Blaise who had cornered him and demanded he tell him what was going on. Draco had dodged and after losing his temper at Blaise, the Italian born had backed off, though Draco still caught him sending concerned glances his way. Now here they were in the Great Hall as they listened to student after student wail some stupid song. Sadly his eyes scanned the hall for the brown ones he missed. Feeling bereft when he saw no sign of Hermione in the crowd. As some Hufflepuff finished her song and Dumbledore appeared on the stage to introduce the next act. Draco shifted and frowned, hoping against hope that this was the last entrant and he could retreat back to his private room and brood.

"Thankyou students, and now for our final act tonight, our very own Head girl Hermione Granger!" Dumbledore announced then walked off the stage as the lights brightened to reveal the three girls on the stage. Draco's eyes widened in shock and his head shot up in surprise as he stared at the Head girl standing in front of a microphone on the stage. She was dressed in the jeans he always loved on her, for the way they hugged her figure, and a simple black tank top under a white shirt. Draco immediately recognized the shirt as one of his own, 'she was wearing his shirt?' his eyes remained glued to her as she began to speak.

"This song is dedicated to the most important person in my life, you know who you are, please listen to the lyrics, I mean every word" as the first bars of the song began she took a breath and prepared to sing.

"What's Granger doing up there? Who is she singing to? Weasley?" Blaise whispered. Draco didn't reply, he knew the song was for him, so he did as she requested and began to listen to the lyrics.

(FIRST VERSE)

Draco heard a snort from Theo

"She has that down to a tee with stubborn and righteous" he sneered. Shooting an annoyed glance at his fellow housemate Draco returned his attention back to the stage as Hermione's gaze locked with his.

(BRIDGE)

Draco gasped as he registered the words and what she was doing by means of her song, emotions welled up and he knew that his eyes were beginning to glisten, though for the life of him he couldn't control his reaction.

"Granger admitting that she is wrong, never thought that that would happen" Pansy sniped.

(CHORUS)

Draco closed his eyes as his emotions began to overwhelm him, struggling for control he took a few deep breaths. Blaise noticed and with a concerned look in his eyes turned to his blonde friend.

"You ok there Drake?" he asked. Draco shook his head in silent reply, unable to speak. Blaise shot him a probing glare, but turned back to watch the Head Girl sing.

(SECOND VERSE)

(BRIDGE)

He watched as Hermione turned her eyes towards the two people who had unknowingly come between the two of them without even knowing it.

(CHORUS)

Hearing Pansy snort some derisive snipe about how any bed Granger was in would be cold, Draco shot a look at his 'friends' all except for Blaise were sneering and making sniping comments as Hermione poured her heart out to him through her song. Making a quick decision, Draco threw the hood of his cloak over his head and using his friend's distraction slipped away un-noticed, heading towards the stage.

Draco saw Hermione glance towards where his friends still stood and watched as her eyes widened and tears fell from them as she noticed that he wasn't there any longer. He could see her body poised for flight when her eyes suddenly caught his movement, the tears continued to fall as she watched his progress

(BRIDGE)

Draco made it to the bottom of the stairs without interruptions. He stood there for a few moments, watching as Hermione and her two friends continued to sing, he could feel the curious stares from those who had noticed him standing there.

(CHORUS)

Slowly he climbed the stairs, his eyes, hidden to all but Hermione, remained locked with hers as she continued to sing. He could felt the curious hum from their fellow classmates as one by one they noticed him climb onto the stage. He could hear the whispers from those closest to the stage as they wondered at his identity. Draco felt a slight smile appear on his lips as he saw the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw who were providing backup vocals stare at him, trying but failing to see who he was, but their efforts were in vain as only Hermione could see his identity under his concealing hood.

(CHORUS)

As Hermione finished the song, Draco reached up and placed his hand gently on her cheek. He felt her lean into his touch, then come willingly when he finally pulled her into his arms and crashed his lips upon hers.

It was heaven, her lips meeting his, he felt complete for the first time in a week. All anger, hurt and resentment faded from his soul as their kiss washed it away. He came to his senses when he felt her begin to push his hood back. Before she could reveal his identity he pulled back quickly and stopped her progress.

"You don't have to Mia, it's ok. This past week has taught me one thing, that regardless of if we stay a secret or come out in the open, I can't be without you" he whispered. He could hear the crowd groan in frustration, their curiosity at who it was that had captured the heart of the Head Girl getting the better of them. Hermione shook her head.

"No more hiding" she whispered as she placed her lips against his again. He returned the kiss passionately, feeling her fingers running through his hair as she pushed his hood off his head.

The two of them heard everyone in the great hall gasp in astonishment, students and teachers alike, as there upon the stage the Slytherin Prince publicly kissed the Gryffindor Princess.

Draco smirked into the kiss as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her tighter against his body. Hermione said nothing, continuing to kiss him. Draco tightened his arms again glad that Hermione Granger was back where she belonged…In his arms.
