AUTHOR'S NOTE:: I don't own Harry Potter! Any references to any song... they aren't mine either!!!::
Hermione sat with some Gryffindor girls for a little while, until something strange happened. Harry and Ron came to her side and sat by her. It was just as if nothing had changed between them, no relationships, nothing at all. It was just like the old days. She smiled and tear formed in her eye. She sniffled and wiped it away quickly, but was overwhelmed by their friendliness to her.
Professor Dumbledore walked up to the platform in the front which, for some odd reason, was on a stage.
Professor Dumbledore spoke, "Today, we have a nice little lineup for a new event this year! Welcome students to Hogwarts first talent show! So get comfortable, and enjoy the show!"
So, everyone took off their robes and sat around with their normal clothes on. Hermione herself had jeans and a white tank top.
After the introduction, there was a nice little contained explosion from the sides of the catwalk, and out filed some of the nicest looking girls of Hogwarts in the tackiest clothes ever. A girl named Helen from Hufflepuff spoke, "These ladies are wearing the nicest clothes from my line of clothing called "Helen's Handiwork"! These shirts, jackets, dress, and pants can be bought from me, as well as any purse or earrings you see here tonight!" She received a polite applause from the crowd, and then she exited the stage.
"Next up is a dance team of Ravenclaws," announced Dumbledore. They were terrible as well. They danced to a Christina Aguilera song... "Dirrty" to be exact. Their outfits were hideous as well... leopard print tops with orange shorts, black shoes, and a leopard print letterman hat. Hermione tried her hardest not to laugh.
Hermione looked over to the Slytherin table on accident and saw Draco sitting there, looking at her with his crystal blue eyes. Her heart broke all over again. She looked away and back to the dancers, who had finished and were also receiving a polite clap. She closed her eyes to get her concentration back on the performances, but it was no use. Harry noticed, and allowed her to bury her face in his arm.
The next performance, according to Professor Dumbledore, was supposed to be Lavender from Gryffindor. She unburied her head, and paid attention to her. Her voice was very strong and she was very good. She sang Kelly Clarkson's "Low". She not only received a roaring applause, but whistles and whoop's as well.
Dumbledore announced, "Well, there is only one house left, and so here he is, singing a Ryan Cabrera song called "She's"..."
Hermione looked to the Slytherin table, and quickly noticed that Draco was not where he was the last time she looked.
Dumbledore continued, "Draco Malfoy!"
Hermione's posture lowered as she felt her heart, yet again, skip a beat. Draco marched on stage in jeans and a white with an acoustic guitar and spoke, "I think we know who this is to."
Hermione's eyes filled with tears yet again as he began.
"She looks into my eyes and I'm alive again. And when she says goodbye I just die again. That's when my restlessness begins, please don't let it win. I'm so tired again and underneath the haze. One thing still remains the same...She's the only love I've known and now she's gone away. She's the life that brought me to the edge. Will I ever love again?"
The words sent chills up and down her spine. She felt like she couldn't breathe. It felt like there was no one else in the crowded room but her and Draco. All the love that she had for him rushed back to her. She stared at him, and he looked around in the crowd. "What a performer," she thought. He continued...
"She walks into my life and my world is still. She reached into my soul and all my doubts were killed. That's when my loneliness subsided, she gave me the will, I could fight it. But nothing can erase the one thing that remains the same...She's the only love I've known and now she's gone away. She's the life that brought me to the edge. Will I ever love again?"
Hermione stared at Draco, and now, he stared back at her. They were connected with their eyes, and everyone else but a few girls from Slytherin were looking at her. Tears flowed freely down her face and she was too occupied to care.
"So just tell me what I should do, I left everything for you and I can't hardly breathe 'cause I know I lost you from my world from my... She's the only love I've known and now she's gone away. She's the life that brought me to the edge. Will I ever love again?"
People stood up and began to sway in the crowd, and Hermione stood up to keep the connection with their eyes. She stood on the bench at first, but seeing there were some extremely tall people, she stood on the table. Professor Snape and Mr. Filch got up to go get her off the table. Draco continued still...
"She's the only love I've known and now she's gone away. She's the life that brought me to the edge. Will I ever love again?"
Professor Snape and Filch were about to lunge for her when she started running down the table as fast as her legs would carry her, towards Draco. He spoke into the microphone, "I wanted to say I am sorry and that Pansy pinned me down. I did nothing with her, and I will never love anyone as much as I love you."
Draco himself was tearing up. He dropped the acoustic guitar as Hermione jumped from the edge of the Gryffindor table to his arms. They embraced and the whole Great Hall burst into applause.
From that moment on, not one person questioned them or joked about their relationship, and that was all that mattered to them both.
The End
Phew! Wow guys, thanks sooo much for your reviews! I enjoyed making this fanfic, and I am brainstorming a new one. I think this one has been carried out long enough, and I know that there is still room for more and stuff. If enough people tell me to, then yes, I probably will write a sequel... maybe about Lucius's reaction? Hmm... never know!
