Ghost of You

A songfic story by Ellie

Once again, not all the lyrics are going to be used, sorry,

Draco awoke, showered and dressed the following morning, went downstairs and was heartbroken by what he saw. Sitting there at one of the tables was some dude, with HIS girl, with HIS Hermione. Why the hell was she with someone already? Why couldn't she be as heartbroken as he was? He was about to go back upstairs when he heard her voice.

"Draco! Wait!" he whipped around to face her, while the boy sitting with her looked at her with a 'do you know him?' face. "This letter came for you; it's from your mum." He walked over towards her and grabbed the letter out of her hand, accidentally leaving his hand on hers for an extra few moments, making both of their cheeks redden. He opened the letter and read it,

Draco,

I have some… news; it's your judgment on whether it's good or bad. Last night you're father was murdered by the Dark Lord. Something about 'being a disgrace' to him or something, you were in there somewhere. If you want to go, his funeral is tonight at the manor, he will be buried in the backyard at around six 'o' clock PM. Also, anything at the manor you want you can take, with the exception of a few of my things. Bring a friend if you wish to keep you company.

Love,

Your mum, Narcissa

He dropped the letter on the table.

And I will wait until the end
When the pendulum will swing back
To the darker side of our hearts bleeding

Hermione picked it up and read it, "Oh Draco I'm so sorry, I think" he looked at her with the face of a child that got the autograph of all their favorite stars on it, "Never mind then, I'm ecstatic for you!" she got up and hugged him, he wrapped his arms around her waist feeling his heart rise up into his throat, he loved that feeling, only Hermione gave that feeling to him. "Oh and, this is my cousin Matt, he's from America, and is visiting for the weekend."

"Oh, cool, but um, I was wondering, D'you maybe want to go with me to the manor tonight? I'd go alone but with it being just me and my mum I'll be quite lonely since she and I don't talk much, only if you want to," he looked at her with hopeful eyes.

"Draco, I don't know, I- I didn't really know your dad and well, I'm a 'Mudblood' and your mum probably wouldn't appreciate that…"

"No! no no no, she'll be okay with it, she said I could bring a friend, and well, you're the closest thing to a friend I have."

Matt could see the feeling that boy, Dan Co was it? Well anyway, he could see the feelings that boy had for Hermione. Maybe he should tell Mrs. Granger.

I have been
Searching for
Traces of
What we were

"Okay, hold on let me call my mum, you know, she asked where you went last night,"

"Really? I'd never of guessed that any girl's mum could like me, a Malfoy, that much,"

"Yeah she was talking about how you became like a son to her," Hermione took out her cell phone and called her mum.

Meanwhile Matt thought to himself. 'So Mrs. Granger knows this Malfoy guy, how the hell does Hermione know him anyway? I need some info on him. Does he go to school with Hermione? Where does Hermione go to school anyway?' He was interrupted by a squeal of happiness belonging to Hermione.

"I can go!"

"So I'll meet you back here at three?" he asked her.

"Sure! I'll go pack for the night, bye!"

"Bye." He said as he noticed that Matt hadn't left yet.

"How d'you know Hermione?"

"We've gone to school with each other for 6 years now, and almost a week ago she saved my life." Draco said standing up, he didn't want to answer anymore of his fishy questions; he headed up the stairs as Matt interrupted him,

"I know you have feelings for my cousin"

Draco hurried up the stairs even faster. (a/n- I know, I'm writing so much and so little lyrics, lol, there is a lot to get ready for!)


 Later on Hermione entered the Leaky Cauldron wearing a pair of khaki pants and an indigo tank top. She was carrying a small rolling suitcase behind her. She stood beside Draco (dressed in black jeans and an AC/DC tee) and grabbed his arm as they apparated to the Malfoy Manor.

LATER (I didn't wanna describe the funeral)

Hermione was sleeping in the room next to his, and Draco was up pacing back and forth, in his black and silver boxers, wondering. Suddenly the room got chilly and he saw his breath in the air, he saw a shadow of Lucius' cane. His dad's ghost was in the room.

So here I am pacing around this house again
With pictures of us living on these walls
I see my breathe in the cold of the air that I breathe
And I'm wondering
I'm wondering if it's you that I feel
If its you that I feel here haunting me forever

"Dad, leave me alone, I hate you now, You DESERVED to die, you ungrateful bastard!" he saw the shadow of his dad's face as it spoke to him in a way that chilled him (I shall not repeat the words, they were very, very bad, no one deserves to hear those words so lets just say that Draco knew he wouldn't live to see the daylight if he stayed in his room). He opened his door and stepped into Hermione's.

She heard her door open and turned to see Draco there, she scooted over in her bed, she heard what Lucius' ghost had said through the paper thin walls. He slipped in beside her looking around cautiously; hoping Lucius had left this world forever. Just in case though, he pulled Hermione close to him, the silky material of her short nightgown felt cool against his chest. He wrapped his arms around her; if anyone would get hurt he'd make sure it wasn't her. She looked up at him, but he shushed her back to sleep, she felt him rub his hands in circles on her back, calming her, and himself.

A ghost of you
Is all that I have left
it's all that I have left of you to hold

THE NEXT SET OF LYRICS ARE ABOUT HERMIONE

Draco awoke the next morning seeing his angel snuggling her head in his chest. He gently moved his hand up and down her back. She reached up and laid it on his arm and tracing it upwards till it came in contact with cheek. Maybe she felt the same way he did. She opened her eyes and slightly smiled at him, at that moment he knew that everything would be alright, she was thee, that's all that mattered.

And I'm not looking for
anything but us
anything but what we were
and I'm not asking for
Painted memories
I only want to know you're here
