Chapter 3
A Secret Talent
the whole school was in an uproar over auditions. Harry and his friends had been sneaking off to the room of requirement to rehearse every day, except the days when Harry, Ron, and Ginny had Quiditch. One day when they were at a practice, and Willa, the resident piano player, was nowhere to be found, Hermione went to the room of requirement alone. As she opened the door she heard someone playing the piano and singing. She saw the blond hair and knew it was Malfoy. 'He's pretty good', Hermione thought. Just then Draco finished his song and turned around.
"how long have you been standing there Granger?", he said with a sigh when he saw Hermione.
"Not very long", she said, "your very good you know."
"well thank you, but now that you have heard me sing I will have to kill you.", he said with a smirk, "or I could just hear you sing and that way we would be even?"
"well", Hermione said with a laugh, "I guess that's fair."
"what song are you doing?", Draco asked sitting back down at the piano.
"um, 'I'll Know'", she said slightly nervous. Draco played the intro. and she started to sing.
"I'll know when my love comes along I won't take a change I'll know as I run to his arms that at last I am home safe and sound, but till then I shall wait, but till then I'll be strong! For I'll know when my love comes along.", Hermione finished the song and Draco played the last cord.
"wow Granger! I didn't know you had it in you!", Draco said turning to her, "that was good."
"thanks", she said looking down at her feet, "you seem different this year."
Draco looked sadly at her, "people change Granger.", he grabbed his music off the piano, "Good night."
"good night", she said as she watched him leave.
Draco walked down the corridors. 'Hermione was right', he thought, 'I have changed. I'm not my fathers son anymore. I'm not the only one who has changed', he thought thinking of Hermione, the one girl who ever had the guts to stand up to him. He was surprised at his new found respect for the girl. She seemed to trust him even after what he had done to her. Yep, he had changed, this time for the better.
Okay folks I need your opinion on something. I want to write another Hogwarts Musical fic, but I'm not sure which musical to do! I kind of want to do Hairspray just so I can cast Crabe or Goyle as Edna Turnblad! Let me know what you think I should do and don't forget to review!
