A/N: This is a songfic to Matchbox Twenty's Last Beautiful Girl… this is my first song fic, so we'll see how it goes…

DISCLAIMER: J.K Rowling owns the characters, Matchbox Twenty owns the song, and I own the plot, so don't sue me!

This will all fall down like everything else that was
This too shall pass and all of the words we said
We can't take back

"Draco, how could you?" Hermione Granger said as she walked in on her 2-year boyfriend Draco Malfoy, making out with Lavender Brown. Iced tea was spilled all over the brand new carpet and making Hermione feel sick to her stomach. Tears began their path down her face as she gasped in disgust.

Lavender, sensing it was time to make a run for, buttoned her top up quickly and ran out of the room.

Draco too began fixing his appearance. "This isn't what it seems like, Hermione. I swear."

"Oh really, then what exactly is it, Draco? Exercising your tongues?" Hermione spat. Tears were running uncontrollably down Hermione's face causing black mascara smudges to form.

Draco looked down at his feet. Why had he done it? Because he was bored? Because he was secretly attracted to Lavender?

~*~fLaShBaCk~*~

Lavender and Draco both worked a summer job at Gringotts. Draco was busy helping an elderly wizard balance his check book when he saw Lavender staring at him. Lavender winked at him, then got back to filing the cabinets. Draco finished helping the man and walked over to Lavender, she was the only other person he knew at work.

"Heyyyy," Lavender said.

"Hi Lavender, how's it going?"

"Uneventful as usual. I have lunch break in a couple of minutes, do you wan to join me?"

"Sure, I'm starving. I'll meet you outside in 10 minutes, I just have to put some stuff away," Draco said.

"10 minutes-see you then."

~*~

Draco and Lavender were driving along when Draco realized he left his wallet at home. "Do you mind if we stop at my place quickly? I need to get some money."

"Sure no problem, Draco."

Draco led Lavender to his apartment. He got his key out and showed Lavender in.

"While we're here, would you like something to drink?" Draco asked.

"Iced tea would be wonderful, if it's no trouble," Lavender replied.

"No trouble at all."

Draco went into the kitchenette and got a cup of tea for Lavender. He was about to give it to her when she leaped at him and began kissing him ferociously. Draco was about to pull back when he felt himself react to the kiss. It felt so good. Lavender pulled Draco onto the couch when he heard creak. The door opened and Hermione walked inside.

Draco looked up at surprise at his girlfriend, then remembered what he had just done.

~*~eNd FlAsHbAcK~*~

"I can't believe it though. What's really irking me is the fact that just this morning you said you wanted to spend the rest of your life with me? Now what is it Draco? Why did you do it? Do I mean nothing to you?" Hermione said in barely a whisper.

"I'm sorry, Hermione. I am really sorry," Draco said trying to catch Hermione's eyes.


Now every fool in town would've left by now
I can't replace all the wasted days
The memory of your face - can't help thinkin'


Hermione grabbed her suitcase from under the bed. Draco and Hermione had just bought the apartment  so they could live together off of Hogwarts grounds during the summer. She was upset to leave it. She quickly threw as many of her belongings as she could into her suitcase.

Draco watched as she packed. He had just made the biggest mistake of his life.

 His thoughts were interrupted by Hermione, "Good bye, Draco." Hermione slammed the door, leaving a stunned Draco staring at the last thing touched by his only love.

"Don't go," Draco barely whispered.

Draco sat back down on the bed. He noticed how Hermione had forgotten her pillow, and grabbed it. He brought the pillow up to his face and inhaled. It smelled like her. Like roses fresh from the morning garden. As he hugged the pillow, memories floated back to him. Memories of their first year at Hogwarts, when it was a contest to see how many hurtful things they could say to each other. Then a flashback of the night before came to mind…

~*~fLaShBaCk~*~

Draco was sitting on the bench on the outside porch of their apartment, waiting for Hermione to get back from her night out with Ginny. Their apartment was on the 53rd floor and he swore he could see all of London from where he was sitting. It was beautiful; almost as beautiful as Hermione, his Hermione.

creak Draco turned around and saw Hermione enter the room. A full smile was on her face and about 5 shopping bags underneath her arms. When Hermione saw Draco, she dropped the bags and ran over to him. Draco got up and welcomed her in his open arms. She buried her head in his neck and smiled. He smelled the same as he always did; the cologne she had gotten him for his birthday.

"I missed you," Draco whispered.

"I missed you too," Hermione said into his neck. She snuggled in closer to him and felt like she had just died and gone to Heaven.

Draco pulled away and took Hermione's hand and led her onto the porch.

"Draco," she breathed, "it's beautiful!"

"I know, but not as beautiful as you."

Draco sat down on a rocking chair and motioned for Hermione to sit on his lap. She obliged happily.

Hermione's eyes gazed the city. "Look Draco! There's a shooting star! Make a wish!" Hermione shouted gleefully like a child.

Draco found the shooting star but looked over at Hermione instead of making a wish. Her eyes were closed in deep concentration. Her eyes fluttered open.

"What did you wish for?" Draco asked her.
"I wished that I will love you forever and you will love me."

~*~EnD fLaShBaCk ~*~

Maybe if we ever coulda kept it all together
Where would we be
A thousand lost forevers
And the promises you never were giving me
Here's what I'm thinking

It took Hermione forever to fall asleep that night. After she had left the apartment, she called Ginny and took the Knight Bus over to her flat. Ginny had embraced Hermione and offered her a shoulder to cry on. There was no doubt that Hermione still loved Draco.

Hermione tossed and turned in the covers. Every once and awhile she would open her eyes and expect to see Draco lying across from her, peacefully sleeping. Of course, that only reminded her of reality.

Eventually, when Hermione did fall asleep, she dreamt of what could have been.

~*~ dReAm~*~

Hermione saw Draco kneel down in front of her in the middle of the restaurant. What was he going to do? Hermione turned to face Draco better as she saw him reach inside is pocket. Oh my Merlin; he's going to propose.

"Hermione Granger," Draco began, feeling quite a bit nervous, "I know that I have done wrong to you in the past. I know that the words I have said to you can't be erased that easily, but I would do anything to erase them if I could. I love you with all my heart, and I know that you are the only person I want to spend the rest of my life with. I would be the luckiest man alive if you would be my wife. Mina, will you marry me?"

Hermione felt the tears coming. Tears of joy. Tears of relief. She could barely say yes, so she nodded her head, smiling.

Draco slid the beautiful pink diamond ring onto her finger. "It would only look beautiful on you," Draco whispered as he leaned up to kiss her.

~*~sWiTcH dReAmS~*~

"Draco! This bloody hurts!" Hermione screamed in the midst of labor.

Draco was standing right by her hospital bed holding her hand tightly. "Almost there, love."

"Come on Hermione, one more push," the nurse yelled.

"I can see its head!" another nurse yelled.

"Deep breath Hermione. It's okay, almost done," Draco said trying to keep his wife calm.

"Ahhhh!" Hermione yelled as she gave life to the world.

Hermione's body lay limp on the bed and sweat had plastered her hair to her head, but Draco thought she had never looked more beautiful.

"What's her name?" a nurse asked.

Draco looked into Hermione's eyes, "What should we name her?"

"Hmm… what about Summer? Because it was during the summer of our 5th year that we became a couple," Hermione suggested.

"Summer Malfoy, I like it."

The nurse handed Hermione Summer. Hermione looked at the baby so lovingly that Draco thought his heart would burst of happiness.

"Let me hold her!" Draco said.

Hermione gave Draco Summer and watch as he cuddled the baby and made funny faces at it. She could tell he loved Summer immediately.

Summer had Draco's blonde fair, and Hermione's curls. Her skin was tan like Hermione but her complexion was smooth like Draco's. Her eyes were big and blue, a combination of the parents. She was beautiful.

~*~eNd DrEaMs~*~


It won't be the first - heart that you break
It won't be the last - beautiful girl
The one that you wrecked - won't take you back
If you were the last beautiful girl in the world

Draco tried getting out. He tried downing his sorrow by spending night after night at the local bar. Alcohol seemed to be the only way out of his misery.

"Bartender, I'll take one more shot of vodka," Draco slurred.

"I think you've had enough for the night, Mr. Malfoy," the bartender said, knowing Draco would be on his 8th shot.

Defeated without even trying, Draco spun around in his barstool and was face to face with a girl that looked similar to Hermione.

"Hermione," Draco whispered.

The girl giggled, "No, I'm Katie, Katie Bell. Do you want to dance?"

"Sure Hermione," Draco replied.

"No, it's Katie."

"Hermione."

"Ummm… you know actually I'm not in the mood to dance, maybe some other time. Bye."


Tell me one more time
How you're sorry about the way
This all went down - you needed to find your space
You needed to still be friends
Needed me to
Call you if I ever couldn't keep it all together
you'd comfort me
Tell me but forever
And the promises I never should have believed in
Here's what I'm thinking

"Aw, hell." Draco had just woken up with a terrible hangover.  He couldn't help but think that if Hermione was still there he never would have gotten drunk. Draco reached over and grabbed the phone. 468-2894 he dialed, Hermione's number.

~*~

Hermione was in the middle of unpacking when she heard her cell phone ring.

"Hello?" Hermione answered into the phone.

No answer.

 She looked on the caller i.d. Draco.

Hermione was about to hang up when, "Hermione?" the voice sounded raspy.

Hermione took a deep breath. 'count to ten' she told herself. "Draco. What do you want?" she said trying to muster as much equilibrium as she could.

"I miss you Hermione. I need you to come home. Come home to me, Mina."

Tears began to well up in her eyes again. She still loved him. "Draco. I can't forget what you did to me. You did this to yourself," Hermione took a deep breath, "good bye Draco. Don't call me again."

"Don't go Mina. I know you still love me. Don't hang up. I need you."

Hermione choked a sob, "I'm really sorry Draco; I'm really really sorry," and clicked end.
~*~

Draco heard the click on the other line and cursed. He really screwed up and he knew it.


It's over now - And I've gone without
Cuz you're everybody else's girl
It seems to me - you'll always be
Everyone else's girl

Draco was back to his nightly bar routine. He was busy dancing with what's-her-face when he saw a girl that looked unmistakably like Hermione push though the crowd. He stopped dancing and looked closer-it was Hermione. Draco was about to go up to her when he saw another man come up to her and offer Hermione a drink. Hermione took the drink and took a sip. She set the cup down and began dancing with the man. Draco pulled his eyes away. He was green with envy of the other man. He would die to switch places with him. Another man in the crowd came up to Hermione and pulled her away from the man she was currently dancing with. Hermione didn't care. She began dancing with the new man.

~*~

Hermione closed her eyes and let her body sway with the music. A slow song came on and Hermione wrapped her arms around the stranger.

"What's your name?" the man asked her.

Hermione was about to reply when she looked up and saw a platinum blonde staring at her.

"Draco," she whipered.

This will all fall down
Like everything in the world
This too must end
And everything else that was
We can't take back

A/N: Well, that was my very first songfic. Was it okay? Or was it a complete waste of time? I was bored today, so I decided to write. I feel bad for Draco in this fic; I don't like making him the bad guy. I might write some more songfics and make them into a story including this one. Maybe. Let me know what you think. Please please please please please review! It only takes 5 seconds and makes me feel like this wasn't a waste of time.
