"Granger, there are no Weird Sisters songs here."
"There wouldn't be. This is a muggle place."
"Do you really expect me to sing then tonight?"
"No, I like to come and listen to how bad people are."
"You drug me out to this place just to listen. I thought you were a Gryffindor."
"Yes, but singing in front of other people is terrifying!"
"But you sing around our home all the time. Why can't you do that here?"
"Because I have a terrible singing voice and don't sing in key."
"How would you sing into a key?"
"Draco, that's not what it is. Do you ever notice Crookshanks leaves the room when I start singing?"
"It's not that bad."
"Okay got shot. You give it a try."
"What? No! This is your thing. I don't sing."
"And I don't sing in public."
"But I think you have a great voice. Please do this for me?"
Of course, he had to look at me with large, pleading eyes. And that was all my fault for showing him movies where the male lead got what he wanted by doing the same thing.
I knew I wasn't terrible at singing. Ron, Harry, Ginny and I had gone out after the War and Harry and I sang a couple of songs. It was fun to just be kids. But being here with Draco seemed intimidating and I didn't want to sing in front of the group.
At least that was until I found the perfect song. This catchy pop song was all over the radio when I came home after Fifth Year. Draco would hate it, of course, but he did want me to sing.
I filled out a slip and brought it to the DJ to get my name and song in the queue. As it was a busy night, it took almost half an hour to have my name called.
Getting up to go to the microphone, I turned to Draco.
"Remember, you wanted me to do this."
"Good luck, love."
Once at the DJ's station, I adjusted the stand and nodded to him. The song starts.
"I'll tell you what I want. What I really really want."
Three minutes later the bar is clapping after most of them were singing along. The song must have been more popular than I thought.
Making my way back to Draco, I smiled. I could only wonder what he had to say.
"So, what did you think?"
"I'm already your lover, so I'm not getting with your friends. What was that crazy song?"
"Wannabe by the Spice Girls."
"And are all their songs like that?"
"I have no idea. I recalled this one from a few years ago."
We continued to watch a few more people sing that night, but Draco never asked me to sing again. At least, not in public anyway.
