Harry was with her as she got changed into her blue jeans and her pink tank top with her black cap. She also had brought her special item with her that no one knew about, not even Harry and Draco knew that she had this item.
"Hermione its time." Harry knocked on her dressing room door.
She looked through her mirror hearing Draco finishing the last verse of the current song that he was singing.
The dancers that were put together for this show were standing together. They were there for Hermione as the song that she was going to sing is a tribute to someone who believed in her and looked after her after the Showcase in London a few months ago.
Hermione got up and carried the snake cane that her special someone gave to her in secret just before he was murdered.
Lily and Severus were also there for her. Severus hugged her and kissed her on the lips. He passed her a headset mike and the wire was threaded through her top and the mike pack was securely placed into her back pocket of her jeans.
Harry, Lily, Severus, the dancers and the backstage crew escorted Hermione up to the side of the stage where she awaited her cue for her to go on stage.
"Thank you. Now I would like to bring back one of my lead dancers' as she would like to sing to you. Please welcome back onto the stage Hermione." Draco introduced Hermione on to the stage.
She walked on holding the cane at the side of her trying to hide it from Draco as she didn't want him to take it from her.
Draco kissed her on the cheek and exited the stage to see that all of the dancers, crew with Harry, Lily and Severus were all there.
"What's going on?" Draco asked them.
"Draco hun, please listen to Hermione for us." Harry told him.
"Why?"
"Draco just listen to her." Severus said.
Hermione was stood in the middle of the stage with the spotlight on her holding onto the cane.
"Thank you Draco. I would like to sing a song and dedicate it to a person who has just left our lives and our family last week. But his final wish was that we continued the tour. But I won't be continuing after the London dates."
Harry looked at Lily and Severus in shock. Draco too was in shock as she said that was she wasn't continuing on with the tour.
"This man that I loved, he was there for me after what happened to me in London, he looked after me and cared for me even though I ran away from him. He didn't need to as my parents were still around, but he wanted to. He nurtured my talent and believed in what I wanted to do and here I am.
This song that I am going to sing has just been released by the Glee Cast and I loved this song and I thought that it was the song for him.
So I now give you 'As If We Never Said Goodbye.' This is for you Lucius."
Draco looked out towards Hermione as she had said his late father's name and that she loved him.
"I don't know why I'm frightened
I know my way around here
The cardboard trees, the painted seas, the sound here
Yes, a world to rediscover,
But I'm not in any hurry,
And I need a moment.
The whispered conversations
In overcrowded hallways.
The atmosphere as thrilling here as always.
Feel the early morning madness,
Feel the magic in the making,
Why, everything's as if we never said goodbye.
I've spent so many mornings
Just trying to resist you.
I'm trembling now, you can't know how I've missed you.
Missed the fairy tale adventures
In this ever spinning playground.
We were young together.
I'm coming out of makeup,
The lights already burning.
Not long until the cameras will start turning.
And the early morning madness,
And the magic in the making,
Yes, everything's as if we never said goodbye.
I don't want to be alone,
That's all in the past.
This world's waited long enough,
I've come home at last.
And this time will be bigger
And brighter than we knew it.
So watch me fly, we all know I can do it.
Could I stop my hand from shaking,
Has there ever been a moment
With so much to live for?
The whispered conversations
In overcrowded hallways.
So much to say, not just today, but always.
We'll have early morning madness,
We'll have magic in the making,
Yes, everything's as if we never said goodbye.
We taught the world a new way to dream."
The song finished and Hermione had burst into tears. Draco and Harry both went out to her and hugged her.
"I love you Lucius." Hermione whispered.
The crowd were in tears and they also cheered Hermione as she continued to sing.
Hermione headed off stage and ran straight into Severus's awaiting arms.
"I miss him so much Severus, I miss him." She cried into her chest.
"I know you do Mia. But you can be strong and move on." Severus told her.
"Thank you Severus, but I am going to move on. I've spoken to the Production Manager and told him that I am leaving the tour after the London dates. I have trained up my replacement and she will take over when the tour goes up to Manchester." Hermione mentioned.
"Why are you leaving the tour Hermione?" Lily asked the girl.
"Cause my Doctor has told me that I can't continue dancing whilst I am in a delicate condition." Hermione whispered as she walked away.
Lily and Severus never heard her reply as she went and got ready for the grand finale.
She shut the door holding the cane in her hands and holding it to her chest. She slid down the door and sat down on the cold floor.
"I love you Lucius. I love both you and our unborn child. I will live on for it's what you wished me to do."
