Not Expected
The song ended and applause broke out all over
the pub.
Hermione didn't clap with them, she didn't even think
of doing it, she didn't think of that there were other people in
the pub, and that they were all clapping.
The words that Draco
had sung just moments before, were constantly repeating themselves in
her head.
Did he sing that… for me? She thought.
When
he had fist walked onto the stage she hadn't seen him, she couldn't
for all the people, but then she had heard his voice and she knew he
was up there.
She had been listening really closely to what he
said when she had heard him saying her name, well no, it wasn't
exactly her name, but it sounded like it was what he wanted to say.
And the song was telling what he felt, what he wanted to tell someone
for a long time, was that 'someone' her?
She looked up to see
if she would be able to see anything now, the people in front of her
had moved and her eyes was caught by Draco's right away.
He's
looking at me she thought, does that mean, that this really
were for me?.
She felt tears forming in her eyes, but it
wasn't tears of sadness as it had been the last few times she had
felt tears in her eyes.
She blinked and she felt a tear run down
her cheek, she didn't think of wiping it away, she was just
thinking of the words in Draco song, and she kept looking into his
eyes.
If this was really for her, then it had to mean that he
really was sorry, that he really did regret everything he had
done.
Hermione felt another tear fall from her eye and run down
her cheek, she still didn't wipe it off, she just kept looking into
Draco's eyes.
Julia was now standing beside him and talking to
him, Hermione couldn't hear what they were talking about because of
the noise in the pub.
------------------ Draco's point of view, -------------------
Draco wanted so badly to
go down and hug Hermione, but he thought better of it, what wouldn't
she think if he just went down and hugged her? He still didn't want
her to get mad at him.
They kept looking into each others eyes,
and he watched as another tear fell down her cheek, she still didn't
move her hand to wipe them of.
"Why don't you go down to her?"
Julia's voice came from the left, "I know you want to,"
Draco
didn't turn to look at her, "I do want to, but I don't know,
what she…" he sighed.
"Come on Draco, you like her, you just
sang your heart out to her, told her how you feel through the song,
and look at her, she knows that you've changed, otherwise she would
not have tears in her eyes" Draco could feel Julia's eyes on him
but he didn't want to look away from Hermione.
"Y-you don't
think she'll be upset?" he asked.
"No of course not, now go
down there to her" Julia said really wanting to help, "if you
don't go, I'll push you down there" she said with a little
laugh.
Draco turned to look at her, "but what if she-" but
Julia interrupted "Nope! No buts! You just go down there to her,
okay? If you want a reason to do it then it will be this: You want to
talk to her, to be with her, so stop being so nervous, sometimes you
just need to take a chance" Julia looked at him with kind eyes, and
a look that said "please?", Draco nodded and Julia smiled as he
gave her the microphone.
He looked down at Hermione, who still
were looking at him, he sighed and for there second time in 20
minutes he thought Okay, here we go, and he started walking
over to her.
He stopped walking; Hermione had just stood up, She's
not leaving is she? Please no! Not now, he thought.
She
started walking a few steps, then she started to run a little.
She
came closer and closer, she was almost at the door now.
She passed
the door; and she didn't even look at it.
Then something
happened, something Draco hadn't expected, his stomach gave a jolt
and his heart started beating really fast.
