Chapter 13: Tears Are Never Enough
The audience cheered as Hermione sang like she never sung before. As she sang her worries, her problems disappeared, and she felt like she belonged. She hit the notes perfectly. She just loved to sing.
The song ended.
Hermione said into the microphone, "This next song we'll play is dedicated to everyone out there."
Gennie starts play the keyboard, and then everyone joined in
When you're sad
When you're feeling low
When you're hurt and don't know where to go,
Think of me
There I'll be
Anytime you need a friend.
Draco looked around the room and in the very back he saw his father. Good, Draco thought. Now my plan will work great. My father won't know what hit him. He thinks he won this battle. Well, boy, is he wrong.
Draco looked back up at the stage and watched Hermione sing. He smiled to him self. Just like my father she won't know what hit her. God she is beautiful
When you're down,
And your luck runs out,
Or if you're in trouble or in doubt,
It's OK-
Turn my way,
Anytime you need a friend
"Wow, Harry!" Ron shouted so Harry could hear him over the music. "Hermione's a really good singer!"
"Yeah, she is!Ron, we have to apologize to her!"
"I know! We'll do it after!"
When you're scared, I will stay with you,
When you feel you're falling, I'll lift you.
When you're heart breaks, I'll ease your aches,
Whatever it takes, I'm in-
Anytime you need a friend.
All our lives
Anywhere we are,
Just reach out-
I'll never be too far
Come what may
There I'll stay
Anytime you need a friend
When you're scared, I will stay with you,
When you feel you're falling, I'll lift you.
When your heart breaks, I'll ease your aches,
Whatever it takes, I'm in-
Anytime you need a friend
When you need a friend,
Come what may,
There I'll stay,
Now until the very end,
Anytime you need a friend
Anytime,
Whatever it takes,
Anytime,
Anywhere,
Anytime you need a friend
Everyone cheered as the song came to an end. Hermione smiled, but on the inside she frowned. That song reminded her of Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Draco. She wish she could forget all about them, but try as she might, they were never out of her head. She loved them all.
She looked at all the people smiling and cheering and was happy that at least she had tonight to try not to think. It was just her and her band. No one else mattered.
"This next song is called 'My Happy Ending'. I hope you all love it! It's dedicated to someone who shall remain nameless. This person knows who I am talking about."
The music started
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something you said?
Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead
Held up up so high
On such a breakable thread
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
It's nice to know you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
"A...Alex could you take over for a while?" Hermione whispered over to Alex.. "I have to go to the bathroom."
"Yeah, of course," Alex answered as Hermione ran off stage, tears starting to flow down her face. Now he knows, Hermione thought as she left the Great Hall. He know he hurt me. I will never forgive him. It is too late.
She started up towards her dorm running at a fast pace. She heard, from the top of the first flight of stairs, the music from the band. It sounded like "Nobody's Home" by Avril Lavigne. It was one of her favorite songs. She wanted to go back and listen, but her mind was made up, and she continued running.
Draco's POV:
Hermione was great on that song. She was so beautiful.
I knew right away that she was going to sing the next song to me. I liked the melody, but I hated the fact that I made her feel like that. Why am I such an ass?
Anyway, after the song Hermione said something to Alex (God knows what she said to her), and took off running. I watched her leave as (what looked like to be) tears ran down her face. I looked back up to the stage as Alex walked to the micro-toneno, that's not itno, that's not right. Anyway she walked up to that thing and said, "Hi everyone! This next song is called 'Nobody's Home'. Hope you enjoy it! Here it goes"
So the song started and it's actually pretty good. Of course, I couldn't sing it, even with my great voice
I couldn't tell you why she felt that way,
She felt it everyday.
And I couldn't help her,
I just watched her make the same mistakes again.
What's wrong, what's wrong now?
Too many, too many problems.
Don't know where she belongs, where she belongs.
She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.
Open your eyes and look outside, find a reasons why.
You've been rejected, and now you can't find what you left behind.
Be strong, be strong now.
Too many, too many problems.
Don't know where she belongs, where she belongs.
She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.
Her feelings she hides.
Her dreams she can't find.
She's losing her mind.
She's fallen behind.
She can't find her place.
She's losing her faith.
She's fallen from grace.
She's all over the place.
Yeah, oh
She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.
She's lost inside, lost inside...
Oh oh yeah
She's lost inside, lost inside...oh oh yeah
The song ended and Draco ran out of the Great Hall, hoping and praying
that he wasn't too late. But he was soon joined by Ron and Harry
