I. Faith Hill : Baby You Belong
Draco hears five-year-old Demetria cry as she struggles expressing her feelings to Astoria.
"He doesn't love me, Mother," Demi sobs, hiding her face in Astoria's robes. "He never wants to play with me, and only talks to Scorpius."
"Daddy loves you, pet," Astoria tries to explain, unaware of her husband's presence behind the door. "Daddy has an odd way with love, you'll see."
Draco slumps against the wall, running his fingers through his hair. Does he really neglect Demi that often? And what Astoria told her…he didn't find emotions difficult, did he? He doesn't want his daughter to feel this way. She is loved. Having her in his life is beyond explainable. She fits in like a glove. Demetria mustn't be alone.
II. Carrie Underwood : Some Hearts
"Congratulations, Rosie!" Lucy hugs her cousin tightly, beaming brightly. "Scorp is a lucky lad!"
Rose smiles back at her, about to say her embarrassed thanks just as her mother whisks her away to bid hello to more guests. Lucy now knows she'll never allow her own mother to throw an engagement party for her.
Rose was always the fortunate one. She was the only daughter to Uncle Ron, and because of that was often given looser punishments than necessary. She always knew she'd marry Scorpius Malfoy, despite her family background.
Lucy thinks glumly of Sean Burke, and then Daniel Creevey, the two boys that have her heart spilt in two. She recalls when her sister Molly won an advantage over her in childhood, and how her father struggled to dole out equal punishments everyone was satisfied with.
Some people get all the luck.
III. Dido : Look No Further
Ever since Hugo has begun playing Quidditch for Hufflepuff in second year, his family becomes clearly aware of the boy's future potential. Ron stands proud and tall of his son, and Hermione eagerly awaits his pursue of this Quidditch dream. Rose and his cousins cheer him on at matches, no matter what House they're in.
Hugo is titled the team captain in sixth year, and it is then when he throws his all into Quidditch. He will be a champion, a hero, and his parents will be so happy. He sees nothing but Quidditch in the upcoming future. He doesn't mind – he will be the best player in the world.
Then Hugo meets Jessa Boot, and he questions his decision. Jessa is the one. He never assumed he'd marry – he always thought Quidditch would be his spouse. Hugo makes a sacrifice, and deserts Quidditch for a family.
Ten years later when he and Jessa are married and four little children surround them, he doesn't wonder about what would have happened with Quidditch. He is not a Quidditch player, but he is still the champion he wants to be.
IV. Journey : Don't Stop Believin'
"Owl us when you arrive," his mother says to him tearfully. "We'll miss you."
Albus nods and hugs her one last time, tolerating her wet kiss for once. He steps away and nods to his father, shaking his hand firmly. After doing the same with James, he lets Lily cry onto his shoulder as she squeezes him goodbye.
Smiling confidently at his family once more, Albus levitates his trunk and leads it onto the Knight Bus. As he climbs aboard, he gets one last look at his parents and siblings before the bus shoots off and he is thrown onto his feet by its speed.
He sits down upon a bed – the sun is just setting – and thinks. He is really going to America. It has finally sunken in. He will work for the Ministry there and make his family proud. It is his dream; then why is he so nervous?
But he knows it's what he wants to do. He has done too much believing to give up on this.
V. Taylor Swift : Fifteen
"He's the nicest boy, Daddy," Eleanor states calmly. "He wants to meet you during summer holidays. I hope you don't mind."
Neville glances at his youngest child reluctantly. Eleanor was always different from Alice and Frankie, being more quiet and reserved. For her to have secured a boyfriend at the age of fifteen is unthinkable for him. Eleanor is the serious child – she is not wrong about much. She is wise enough to be stable and strong, and capable of doing the right things.
He meets Max Ackerley that summer, like Ellie promises, and is satisfied with him because Eleanor is happy with him. Neville wonders musingly if he is the one for her, because they just seem so right.
Only five months later, Eleanor comes home for Christmas with red eyes, and the most timid heart imaginable. "He said he loved me, Dad," she admits embarrassingly. "And I caught him snogging Natalie Corner! How can love be so cruel?"
He takes his girl in his arms, rubs her back, and talks soothingly. Eleanor's sister Alice had had enough heartbreak for Neville to know not to say much. "Time will heal you, Ellie. You don't know yourself yet. There'll be someone else for you, I promise."
