LIFE'S A SONG
Chapter Three

***



"Hermione, why don't you just take advantage of this day off? We could spend some real quality time together, if you know what I mean." Harry wrapped his arms around his fiancee's waist and began to kiss her neck softly.

"Not now, Harry," said Hermione irritably. "I'm trying to find a reversal for the spell that prat cast."

"You can do that later," Harry murmured.

"No! I'm going to do it now. Do you really want to be singing our wedding vows or something stupid like that?"

"Well, that would certainly be something for the tabloids, wouldn't it?" Harry said cheekily.

"Harry!" said Hermione in a warning tone as Harry's hands gradually got lower and lower. "Not now!"

"Awww...." whined Harry, trying to give her sad and pathetic look.

"Harry stop trying to look sad and pathetic," Hermione told him, not taking her eyes from the book she was skimming through. "It won't work."

He seemed to suddenly come to his senses and he backed off. "I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me." He kissed the top of her head and walked swiftly and quietly from the library, or Hermione's refuge as he, Ron and Seamus had nicknamed it.

He closed the door behind him and leaned on it for a second. 'We get a day off work, and she doesn't even want to be with me,' a part of his mind said. Then the other, slightly more rational part of his mind piped up. 'You know she's only doing this for your own good. You don't want to be spending some 'quality time' with her and suddenly start singing, do you.' 'Maybe she'd find that romantic.' 'Not if you're singing 'I'm Too Sexy!' Harry shook his head, like he was trying to get rid of the two voices that had sprung up inside his mind.

As he shook his head, however, music began to play...

"Under a lovers' sky
Gonna be with you
And no one's gonna be around
If you think that you won't fall
Well just wait until
Til the sun goes down

Underneath the starlight - starlight
There's a magical feeling - so right
It'll steal your heart tonight

You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
No, you can't fight it
It's gonna get to your heart

There's no escape from love
Was a gentle breeze
Weaves it's spell upon your heart
No matter what you think
It won't be too long
Til your in my arms
Underneath the starlight - starlight
We'll be lost in the rhythm - so right
Feel it steal your heart tonight

You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
No you can't fight it
No matter what you do
The night is gonna get to you

Don't try then
You're never win

Part of me the starlight - starlight
There's a magic feeling - so right
It will steal your heart tonight

You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
No, you can't fight it

You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
Don't you know that you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
No, you can't fight it
It's gonna get to your heart."

Inside the library, Hermione looked up from her book and smiled, having heard every word of Harry's ode.
