LIFE'S A SONG
Chapter Seven

***



Hermione and Harry emerged from the bedroom about half an hour later. Hermione hadn't stopped crying until a few minutes previously. She claimed she was all right, though anyone who knew her could tell she was breaking inside. "I'm going to be all right, Harry," she told him calmly.

"Are you sure?" asked Harry, looking at the pale and weary Hermione. Her eyes were red with tears and his shirt was wet from her crying.

"Probably not, but I'm a bit too emotional to make any rational decisions at the moment." She managed to muster enough strength for a small smile. She nodded as if suddenly understanding something. She opened her mouth to speak, but instead she sung, her voice clear and melodious.

"You are all I need to get me through
Like a falling star I fell for you

Sweet anticipation
It's giving me the butterflies
And my heartbeat's racing
Cos loving you is beautiful
When you're so irresistible

So don't stop
What you're doing baby
So good
And it drives me crazy
One touch
I'm in heaven, yeah
Cos loving you is so beautiful baby cos...

You are all I need to get me through
Like a falling star I fell for you
You have taught me how to love
An angel sent from high above
Now I know that all I need is you

Cos I need you and you need me
And we'll always be together."

Harry suddenly began to sing, while Hermione looked on at him in awe. His powerful tenor penetrated the essence of her heart, and she could feel tears begin to well up. Harry blushed heavily as he sung, somewhat embarrassed by the words he was singing, though not really caring.

"Before I knew what love was
I always ended up in tears
It's just the way my world was
Until you walked into my life
It's something that I just can't hide

Real love
Has come my way
And I know
That it's here to stay
And it feels
Like never before
Cos loving you is so beautiful baby cos...

You are all I need to get me through (to get me through now)
Like a falling star I fell for you (I fell for you now)
You have taught me how to love
An angel sent from high above
Now I know that all I need is you."

Together they began to sing, their voices harmonising perfectly.

"Cos I need you and you need me
And we'll always be together

Cos I need you and you need me
And we'll always be together

You're my inspiration
My world just seems a brighter place
I just wanna tell you
I've never ever felt this way
I've never thought I'd see the day

Real love
Has come my way
And I know
That it's here to stay
And it feels
Like never before
Cos loving you is so beautiful baby cos...

You are all I need to get me through
Like a falling star I fell for you
You have taught me how to love
An angel sent from high above
Now I know that all I need is...

You are all I need to get me through
Like a falling star I fell for you
You have taught me how to love
An angel sent from high above
Now I know that all I need is you."

When the song ended, Hermione fell back into Harry's arms sobbing uncontrollably, letting out her pent-up emotions and everything she couldn't say in words. Wordlessly Harry comforted her, stroking her hair and just holding her close to him while silent tears fell down his cheeks.
