Revolution - The Beatles
"You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that its evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Dont you know that you can count me out
Dont you know its gonna be all right
You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
Wed all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
Were doing what we can
But when you want money
For people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Dont you know its gonna be all right
You say youll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me its the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You aint going to make it with anyone anyhow
Dont you know its gonna be all right"

Draco Malfoy scoffed at his father's speech to the guests. Did he really believe The Dark Lord could get away with this sort of 'ethnic cleansing'? Purebloods were outnumbered by Mudbloods by thousands, and with one's like Granger, these men and women of 'a higher class' stood not a chance.
The young Malfoy heir wanted nothing to do with such things that would result in nothing. He would not follow some power hungry fool with nothing in it for himself. And he would definitely not put up with the same pain his father has put him through for his whole life.

You're Not Alone - Saosin
"She's just like him
Spoiled rotten
Confused by the lies she's been fed
And she's searching for no one..
(But herself)
Her eyes turn to green and she seems to be happy
That she is here
And this time I think you'll know...
You're not alone
There is more to this, I know
You can make it out
You will live to tell"
*
Draco could tell she hated to be here, hated to have her mother flaunting her about, and hated the people around her. Draco could tell, but no one else had a clue. No one could see through the polite mask she wore.
Finally, he stepped forward, cutting in on her dance with Marcus Flint.
"Not having fun?"
"Of course I am."
"It's easy to see for someone who feels the same."
A pause, then, "I can't stand this. I want nothing to do with this life. I'm tired of being shown around like some prize horse."
"I know the feeling."

Desert Song - My Chemical Romance
"We hold in our hearts
the sword and the faith
Swelled up from the rain clouds
Move like a wraith
Well after all, will I another day?
And through it all, we'll find some other way
To carry on through cartilage and fluid
And did you come to stare or wash away the blood?"

Everyone knew about "The Chosen One', and many believed that Harry Potter was their savior. These thoughts, though, did little to ease the minds of many.
Muggle-borns especially were afraid to leave their homes, rarely going out, and only to buy the necessities of living.
It was easy to doubt a 15 year old boy, and easy to doubt an plans of defeating You-Know-Who. He was thought to be dead once before, but proved stronger than anyone imagined.
So, for now, the streets of the Wizarding World were empty, curtains drawn, doors locked. Everyone knew, though, this wouldn't be enough.

Damn Regret - Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.
"You're the only one I turn to
When I feel like no one's there
And when I'm lonely in my darkest hour
You give me the power
To sit and pretend"
*
"Draco! What are you doing?" gasped the redhead when her fiancée's head appeared in her fire.
"I just needed to see you..."
"But you could be caught!"
"This is getting harder and harder everyday. Voldemort is getting suspicious, I can tell."
"Dumbledore says it will only be a few more days. Now get out of the fireplace before you're found out. Why would you put yourself in danger this way?"
"I needed to see you, beautiful. You are the reason I'm in this situation, and I like to remind myself of why I put up with such things. Love you."

Harder To Breathe - Maroon 5
"What you are doing is screwing things up inside my head
You should know better you never listened to a word I said
Clutching your pillow and writhing in a naked sweat
Hoping somebody someday will do you like I did
When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
Youll understand what I mean when I say
Theres no way were gonna give up"

He watches her as she struts around Hogwarts, shirt barely buttoned, skirt showing more leg than necessary. She is always trying to play him, and he hates it.
She makes sure he sees her with every boy she's with, flaunting them as if they are so much better than him.
In the end, though, when no one else wants her, he knows he is the one she will crawl to.
She thinks she knows what she is doing, and she thinks she is doing well, but he is no idiot, and soon she will know who is truly in control.

The Sweet Escape - Gwen Stafani
"If I could escape
And re-create a place as my own world
And I could be your favorite girl
Forever, perfectly together
Tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?"
*
She knew she had screwed up, and now she was being ignored by Harry. Sweet, endearing Harry Potter.
She tried to say sorry, only to be disregarded in the most polite of ways. Only he could act that way towards someone he's mad at. This reminded her of the reason she was attracted to the boy, but also made the rejection hurt that much more.
What she had done was horrible, and she knew it, and now all she wanted was to go back to the way things had been before.
She needed to escape from his betrayed green eyes.
