Chapter 16
I've Never Been In Love Before
Sarah and Sky return from Havana. Sarah is no longer drunk having slept it off on the plane.
"What time is it?" she asked. Hermione was thinking about Draco.
"I don't know...Four o'clock!" Did she mean what was on the note, he thought.
"This is your time of day, isn't it?" she said. What if he didn't read the note.
"I'm not usually up this late before!"
"How do you like it?" he said trying not to look at her.
"Oh, it's so peaceful and wonderful!" please say that he feels the same.
Sky starts to sing.
"You're finding out something
I'd known for quite a while...
My time of day is the dark time,
A couple of deals before dawn,
When the street belongs to the cop,
And the janitor with the mop,
And the grocery-clerks are all gone.
When the smell of the rain-washed pavement,
Comes up clean and fresh and cold.
And the street lamp light,
Fills the gutter with gold,
That's my time of day-
My time of day,
And you're the only doll
I've ever wanted to share it with me..." I do love her, he thought.
"Obediah."
" Obediah? What's that?" why won't he look at me?
"Obediah Masterson... That's my real name." I can't do this anymore.
"You know you're the first person I've ever told it to."
He turns and looks Hermione strait in the eye and sings with all his heart.
"I've never been in love before
Now all at once it's you
It's you forever more
I've never been in love before
I thought my heart was safe
I thought I knew the score
But this is wine
That's all too strange and strong
I'm full of foolish song
And out my song must pour
So please forgive this helpless haze I'm in
I've really never been in love before..."
Hermione knew that he was singing the truth. She had to let him know.
"I've never been in love before
Now all at once it's you
It's you forever more
I've never been in love before
I thought my heart was safe
I thought I knew the score
But this is wine
That's all too strange and strong
I'm full of foolish song
And out my song must pour."
They both started to sing taking each others hands.
"So please forgive this helpless haze I'm in
I've really never been in love before!"
They kiss passionately. Knowing that nothing could tear them apart.
"I love you." Draco whispered.
