Until My Dying Day
By Roni Black
Chapter Four
Draco was behind the curtains with Lee Jordan. Lee had become a professional musician after leaving Hogwarts, and from time to time he was working as a D.J.
Lee needed a teenager to help him decide which songs to play, and he also needed a little help with the technical stuff. He had planned to ask Ron to help him, but unluckiy for him, he met Professor Snape as soon as he entered Hogwarts that evening. When Snape asked him what he was doing, and Lee told him he was looking for a young assistant, Snape sent Draco to him immediately.
Neither Lee nor Draco were happy with this arrangement, but they were both clever enough to shut up and work. Lee was surprised when he found out Draco had changed. His was actually pleasant, and he was very helpful.
"So, how've you been doing since you left?" asked Draco after recommending some songs.
"Great," replied Lee, putting some wires back into place. "I like my job, and I get lots of job-offers. Have you heard my new song on the radio?"
"Which one?"
"'Love Is A Flower'".
"Oh, yeah, I remember... I liked it."
"Really? Want me to sing it now?"
"Why not."
"Sing with me, OK?"
"What?!"
"I'll sing the first and the second verse, and you'll sing the chorus. Agreed?"
"I'm not - "
"Good." Lee didn't let him finished, but grabbed the magical louspeaker and bellowed into it:
"Now you'll hear a song of my own!"
He put on the music, and sang into the loudspeaker in a low, beautiful voice:
"Love is a flower and I am a butterfly
This is so sweet, and I'm not gonna lie
Love is a flower and I am a bee
And I want you to be with me."
The crowd behind the curtains went wild with cheers; Draco couldn't see them, but he heard their stomping and knew they were dancing wildly. The lyrics made him think about Hermione, and his heart constricted in his chest. She must be thinking I'm some kind of a cheater, he thought painfully. I made her believe I'll come, and I've let her down...
"Love is a flower and I am a swarm of bees
And if you love me, I won't run or hide
I want to touch these petals, please
And drink the sweet nectar from inside."
As Lee finished the second verse, there was a long music solo. Meanwhile, Lee handed Draco the loudspeaker. Draco took it, and as soon as the solo ended, he sang:
"Baby, you are my flower
Can I be your butterfly?"
His voice was different than Lee's, not as low and strong, but it was beautiful too. Lee watched him, impressed. He may not become a professinal singer, but the boy sure's got a talent, he thought.
"Would you let me come to you?
Baby, can you love me too?"
As Draco finished and the bars faded, the crowd went wild again. They cheered and cheered.
Lee made to put another song, just as Draco cast a spell on a tiny part of the curtain, which made it transparent, only at his side. He looked quickly around the Hall. Everybody was cheering. His eyes searched the crowd for Hermione, but she wasn't there.
He felt the disappointment washing him over, but then he gazed at the seats - and there was Hermione. She looked miserable and angry, and Draco thought he knew the reason.
"Lee," he took off the spell and turned around.
"Yes, buddy?"
"Listen, there's some girl out there I've let down and I must make it up to her. Can you manage without me? Please?"
Lee looked into Draco's pleading eyes, and his heart wouldn't let him say no. So he said: "No problem."
"Thank you so much." Draco felt so relieved. "And listen, can you put on some good slow, romntic dance?"
Lee smiled. "You got it, mate. Good luck."
"Thank you!" Draco cried. He went to the far side of the stage, moved the curtains a little and got off the stage. Just as he began to walk towards Hermione, he heard the song. It was his favorite song in the whole world.
Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before...
Draco hurried over to Hermione. As she raised her eyes and saw him, she almost fainted. She gazed at him as if she'd seen a ghost. God, he looked so handsome...
In Draco's eyes, Hermione was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen in his life. He went over to her, and they looked at each other longingly.
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I love you more and more...
Draco looked deeply into Hermione's eyes. "Hermione," he whispered. "Would you like to dance with me?"
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything?
Hermione nearly melted in her seat. A soft smile formed on her face as she whispered: "I would love to." She got off her chair. He took her hand. His touch caused tingles to spread in her body.
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time
They both went to the center of the dance floor. They continued to hold hands as Draco put his other hand tenderly around her waist. Hermione put her hand on his shoulder, and the clung onto each other as they began to dance slowly.
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Draco had no doubt. This was it. He loved her more than he had ever loved a girl. He wanted her so badly. He needed her. The feeling of her body against his was amazing. He has to tell her. Will he have the courage?
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
"Hermione?" he whispered in her ear.
She raised her head and looked in his eyes. "Yes?" she smiled.
"I just wanted to tell you... thank you for the dance. You're a great dancer," said Draco in a soft voice.
"Thank you for asking me to dance," she answered softly, "you're a great dancer too."
She loved him, oh how she loved him! She wanted to tell him how she felt... but no. She wasn't brave enough...
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Neither Draco nor Hermione noticed the frequent glances they were receiving from everyone around them. Harry and Ron, who had been dancing, stopped dead when they saw Hermione dancing with Malfoy. They exchanged fearful glances. What was going on?
Soon almost everybody was staring at Draco and Hermione, but they didn't notice. Their eyes were closed. Hermione put her head on Draco's shoulder, and Draco buried his face in her hair and inhaled the unbelievable scent.
Storm clouds may gather and storms may collide
But I love you until the end of time
"I can't believe it!" Harry whispered to Jessica. "Hermione is dancing with Malfoy?!"
"So what?" said Jessica, who was clinging onto Harry. "She probably likes him."
"Likes Malfoy?!" Harry couldn't believe it.
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day...
As the last bars faded and the couples separated, Draco and Hermione separated too, but just a little. Both of them didn't want to break the magical moment. Draco took a deep breath and said: "Shall we go out to the gardens?"
Hermione smiled: "Why not." Still holding hands, they began to walk towards the exit.
Harry and Ron said quick apologies to Jessica and Lavender, and followed Draco and Hermione, who didn't feel anything.
"What the hell is she doing?" Ron muttered in Harry's ears as Draco and Hermione stepped out of the Castle. Trying to keep a big distance, Harry and Ron they wouldn't be noticed, they crept outside after the couple.
They saw them walking around the garden, washed by the moonlight, holding hands. Harry and Ron could hear them talking, but couldn't figure the words.
"What is going on?!" said Harry angrily.
*
"Hermione, I wanted to tell you something," said Draco softly.
Hermione stopped and raised her eyes to him. "Yes?"
Draco bit his lip. JUST DO IT, he told himself.
"Hermione, I..." he took another deep breath, then said quietly: "I love you."
Hermione's eyes lit up in a way Draco had never seen before. Relief washed over him as he saw her beginning to smile happily, and suddenly she wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered: "Draco, I love you too, so much."
Draco smiled and leaned in to kiss her. As her lips touched hers, a million sansations spread in his body. He had never felt so happy in his entire life.
*
Harry and Ron were unable to believe their eyes. They saw the two kissing, and felt the anger flood their body.
"She will have to explain this to us," said Ron furiously.
"Oh yes she would!" replied Harry, just as furiously.
