*~*~*~*

            Draco sat in the window seat of the Room of Requirement, his acoustic guitar in his hand.  His fingers transferred smoothly from string to string, an enchanting melody beginning.  He began to accompany his guitar with his deep, melancholy voice.  He didn't notice another figure slip silently into the room just before he sang the first note.

"I have been blind, unwilling

To see the true love you're giving

I have ignored

Every passing

I'm on my knees

Confessing"

            Hermione stopped moving the moment she heard his voice and the song registered in her brain.  It was "My Confession" by Josh Groban and one of her all time favorites.

 "That I feel myself surrender

Each time I see your face

I am staggered by your beauty

Your unassuming grace

And I feel my heart is turning

Falling into place

I can't hide

Now hear my confession"

            Draco's eyes were closed, an image of Hermione dancing in his head.  His thoughts wandered as he kept singing.

"I have been wrong

About you

Thought I was strong

Without you

For so long

Nothing could move me

For so long

Nothing could change me"

            Hermione watched the melancholy figure silently, amazed at the voice that was locked inside his cold, distant body

Now I feel myself surrender

Each time I see your face

I am captured by your beauty

Your unassuming grace

And I feel my heart is turning

Falling into place

I can't hide

Now hear my confession"

            Draco was completely oblivious to Hermione's presence.

"You are the air that I breathe

You're the ground beneath my feet

When did I

Stop believing

Cause I feel myself surrender

Each time I see your face

I am staggered by your beauty

Your unassuming grace"

            Draco thought that this song described Hermione perfectly.  She was drop-dead gorgeous and had this air of grace surrounding her like an aura.

"And I feel my heart

Is falling into place

I can't hide

Now hear my confession

I can't hide

Now hear my confession"

            Here, his voice stopped and a heart-felt guitar solo filled the silent room.

"Hear my confession"

            Draco ended the song and leaned against the wall, his eyes still closed, catching his breath.  It was a really powerful song and it took most of his air supply to sing it and play it at the same time.  Hermione stood, slightly dazed, staring openly at Draco's figure.  Instantly, her love for him deepened.

            At that very moment, Draco opened his eyes and stood, preparing to leave.  He froze and his eyes widened in shock when they landed on Hermione.
