Tears

"And he stood all alone in a darkened church hallway

He got down on his knees and he started to pray

He loathed the Dark Lord for his family and the perfect bride

But he couldn't hold back what he was feelin' inside

And he said

She's the only girl I'll ever love

And I'd do anything not to give her up

If I could only stop the world

When she stood by my side

See, I was having the time of my life

Yes, I was having the time of my life"

In the chapel, Albus Dumbledore's voice spoke the words binding them in matrimony. Miss Hermione Granger was becoming Mrs. Harry Potter, and Draco, alone in the hallway somewhere in the church, was crying. Yes, Draco Malfoy was crying. He knew that sitting there balling his eyes out over a girl was not the most "Slytherin" thing to do, but he did it. He was so frustrated and angry with the world. He especially hated Voldemort. Not that it would matter. He was dead. Draco knew he couldn't seek revenge on a dead man, but he still could hate him.

Voldemort was the cause of everything that was wrong in his life. Draco's mother would still be alive if Voldemort hadn't killed her. Draco's father still would be sane if it weren't for Voldemort. Of course, Draco would have had a real father if it hadn't been for Voldemort. Lucius was not a real father to Draco. He bought him things and scolded him for bad grades and gave him a home, but besides that, Draco didn't even know Lucius. He was never home, always out doing the Dark Lord's bidding. H e cared for the Dark Lord more than he did for his own family. Unfortunately, it had stayed that way after Voldemort's death. Lucius was still trying to gain support and start the Death Eaters on a siege of the Ministry. Too bad for Lucius all of the loyal Death Eaters were dead, hiding, or in Azkaban. And Lucius, being mad and without a follower would be easily stopped by the Aurors.

He really hated Voldemort for something else, though. If Voldemort had not risen, Harry Potter would be an ordinary boy. He would not have been an "easier choice" for Hermione to marry, as she put it. Draco and Harry would have been given equal odds, and he was overly confident that when it came down to romancing a girl, Draco knew what he was doing. The only other thing his worthless father was good for was wooing a woman. And Draco had learned from his father exactly what to do. Not to mention, Hermione was the only girl Draco was interested in wooing, whereas with Potter, Hermione was not the only one Harry had ever fancied.

All of Draco's "what-ifs" were worthless though, as the wedding continued along without a change of mind. He sat in the hallway, listening to Dumbledore's magnificent voice.

'He always was the worst thing to happen to Hogwarts,' Draco thought to himself. 'Maybe if he was out there fighting You-Know-Who, this whole thing wouldn't have happened.' But once again, the "what-ifs" were overwhelming, and Draco finally just let out what he was feeling. Behind all of his anger at the world, and of course, Voldemort, he had a soft song playing in his head. He decided to finally let the song take over his wandering "what-if" brain.

He dropped on to his knees and kneeled in a prayer position, speaking softly, in case a small-bladdered guest was coming down the hallway in search of a bathroom. Tears rolled down his cheeks and fell on the carpet of the hallway. His beautiful gray eyes glistened as he spoke.

"She's the only girl I'll ever love and I'd do anything not to give her up. If I could only stop the world when she stood by my side. See, I was having the time of my life. Yes, I was having the time of my life."

A/N: Oh, poor Draco! I can just see a tear rolling down his cheek! Anyway, please review! I love all of my cool reviewers! Special thanks to Victoriafan882003, my only reviewer so far for my last chapter! I guess I am just posting so fast! Anyway, I hope to finish the story soon, but not today. I think I will have the prologue up to my new story, Apprentice, and that will be occupying my time for today, along with a tribute to our dear late friend who passed in OotP! Boohoo! Anyway, look for my new stories today or tomorrow! Peace out!
