Chapter 14: The Departure of the Songbird
"Do you think she cried?" a voice said. Ginny was about to open her eyes when someone touched her cheeks. "Yup, kinda. She's has this dried tears on her cheeks. Plus, even though her eyes are close you could still see its puffy." Ginny twitched and then she decides to open her eyes.
"AH!" She screamed when she saw Meg and Samantha, looking so close to her face. She sits up while Meg and Samantha backs away from her. "What are you two doing staring at my face early in the morning?" She was pretending she didn't hear their conversation a while a go.
Samantha goes to the bathroom while Meg sits on the edge of Ginny's bed and crossed her arm in front of her chest. "So, did you end it?" Ginny groaned at Meg's question. It's the question that she was trying to avoid from Meg but it's too late. She lowers her head and sighed. "Yes."
Meg raised her eyebrow to her. "How?"
"I don't want to talk about it." With that she decides to go take a bath, leaving Meg in her bed.
It was already seven in the evening and the students plus the teachers are eating dinner at the Great Hall. They were converse to different conversations with one another when Professor Dumbledore stood up. He walks over to the center and begins to clap to get the attention of everybody.
The students and teachers look up at him and became silent. "Good evening, everyone. I can see all of you are enjoying your dinner." They nod in agreement. "I just have some important thing to say. Miss Jessica Sheer of Ravenclaw is leaving our school tomorrow." Upon hearing this, the students begin to whisper to the person beside them and some were shocked.
They can't believe Hogwarts' songbird would be leaving. Professor Dumbledore waves her hands to hush them. "Don't be worried students for Miss Sheer would be leaving to fulfill her long time dream, which is having her own album." They all clapped on the good news. "But, before she leaves she wants to sing us a song. Please, welcome, Miss Jessica." Professor Dumbledore motions to the far-left side door and they all clapped.
On that door, Jessica appears. She was wearing a spaghetti strap 50's inspired black polka-doted knee length dress, black laced up heels and her hair was in a ponytail style. She positions herself in the center and she sits on the stool that was brought up before she appeared. A house elf appears in thin air and hands her a mike. She accepts it and mumbles a simple 'thank you' to the house elf. The house elf bows down and immediately disappears.
"Good evening, everyone. I'm very thankful that you liked me and my voice plus my music. I'm sorry if I have to leave all of you. But, I promise I'll be back. I just can't tell you when because I have so many things to do. Sorry. Anyway, lets all welcome the band." She motions to the main door of the Great Hall. The door opens and five people entered. They briefly walk towards the center to position themselves. They brought up their wands, wave it in the air and their instruments appear in front of them.
They arranged the instruments for five minutes. When they were finished, they all smiled at Jessica signaling everything is ready. Jessica smiles back at them then at the students.
She breathes deeply then said, "This song is called First Love by Utada Hikaru. It's a Japanese song. It's about a girl saying to her ex-boyfriend that even though they aren't together anymore, he will still be her first love." She paused for a minute and continues. "I dedicate this song to my dragon." She looks directly to Draco. "I'm very thankful that you're my first love. I will always love you no matter what. And, I'm really sorry if I have to leave you."
With that the band begins to play and Jessica starts top him. Then she started to sing.A/N theboldwords are the one she's singing...while...the parenthesis ones are the english translation...also...please take your time to read the parenthesis ones because you will realize what Jess feels about Draco...thanks

After she finished her song, the students plus the teachers clapped. "Thank you."
Hermione was putting some dangling earrings for her final look. She was going out that night. She was wearing a black halter-top blouse, navy blue jeans, pink high heels to match her earrings and her hair is in a bun. She sprays some perfume all over her body.
Draco enters the bathroom and saw a dress-up Hermione in front of the mirror. "You're going out?" Hermione looks at her left and saw also a dress-up Draco. He was wearing a black suit with emerald silk polo under it and black Italian shoes. His hair was gelled and was pulled back. He's hot. "Yup." Draco walks beside Hermione. Hermione still not taking off her eyes to him said, "I guess you're going out also." Draco picks up his perfume and sprays it all over his body. "Yes." Then the room was filled with vanilla and cinnamon. "Where are you going?" he asked Hermione.
"Sorry, can't tell. You?"
"Can't tell either. Anyway, have fun tonight."
Hermione smiles at him. "Thanks, you too."
Draco winks at her. "Oh, I will."
Lauren climbs down the stairs to the common room and saw it jam-packed with loud chatting people. It was Jessica's farewell underground party. She walks towards the DJ. She whispers something to him and the DJ slows down the music. The people became silent and looks at Lauren. The DJ gave her the mike.
"Hi! Welcome, everybody to my best friend's farewell underground party. Its in my honor to introduce to all of you, Jessica." She motions to the stairs leading to their dorms and they all clapped.
They saw Jessica standing at the end of the stairs. She looks so beautiful. She was wearing a black silk empire cut knee-length dress; black stilettos and her hair was on a ballerina style.
She walks towards her best friend. They kissed cheek to cheek. Lauren gives her the mike. "Good evening, everyone. I greatly appreciate that all of you have the time to come to my farewell party. Thank you so much. If ever your thirsty or you want to eat, there are champagnes and foods at the bar which is located at the far back." She motions to the back. "And, I hope you could enjoy my party. That's all, thank you again." They all clapped.
The music began to play again. Jessica was about to mingle to her guests when Lauren whispers to her. "He's here." She looks at her best friend with confusion. "Where?"
Lauren points to Draco who was at the bar, drinking champagne all by himself. Seeing Draco, she immediately run towards him. He saw her coming over to him so he smiles at her. Jess smiled in return. "Hello." Then she hugged him. "Hello." he whispers to her, tightening their hug.
Jess pulls away. "So, are you enjoying?" Draco nods. "Jess, thanks for the song." She blushed and smiled. "Your welcome. You love it?"
Draco hesitates for a minute and then he said, "Yeah, its kinda sweet." Jess giggled on what he had said. "Oh, wait. I almost forgot." He puts down her champagne and starts to search something on his pocket. After some time, he found it and gives it to Jess.
She covers her mouth; she was shocked when Draco gives her a long red rectangular box with a silver ribbon on it. Then she looked at Draco. "I can't have this." Draco insisted. "No, take it. Use it for me and at the same time to remember me."
She opens it and saw a gold necklace with a butterfly pendant on it. She covers her mouth in amazement. "Draco, it's beautiful." Draco smiled girlishly at her. "When I saw that, I knew you should have it. Besides, I thought you like butterflies so I bought it." She hugged him again and kisses him on his ear. "Thank you." He pulled her face away from him and kissed her on her cheek. "No problem."
She was about to ask Draco another question when someone taps her on the back. She turns around and saw one of her closest friends. "Mia!" She squealed her name and then she hugs her. "I miss you so much." Hermione returns her hug. "Me too." She pulls away and looks at Jess. "Oh my gosh, you look so beautiful. And your little performance at the Great Hall…was wonderful." Jess giggled at Hermione's compliments to her. "Thank you. And you too, you look beautiful tonight."
Hermione smiled at her and when she look passed Jess' shoulders, she was shocked when she saw Draco. "Draco?" Jess became confused. She looked at Hermione then at Draco. "You know Mia?" Draco takes his champagne, sips it and nods at Jess in reply. Jess looked at Hermione. "You never told me you knew my ex-boyfriend." Hermione was shocked. She became silent. She never knew Draco would be Jess' ex-boyfriend. They're not compatible. They're two different worlds. It's impossible.
"Mia, are you ok?" Hermione was cut by her thoughts. She looked at Jess. "You never told me you had a boyfriend."
"I'm sorry I never told you. Anyway, it's in the past. We're just friends now. Right, Draco?" She looked at Draco. He gets her message and looked at Hermione. "Yes, she's right. We're good friends."
Jess smiled at him for getting her message. "Anyway, I have to entertain the other guests. So, sadly, I have to go." Draco and Hermione smiled at her then she left them.
Hermione punched him on the shoulders. "Hey, why did you punched him?" Hermione giggles. "You never told me you knew Jess." Draco smirked. "Why do I have to tell you? We're not that close for me to give you some personal information about myself." She punched him again. "We're friends and friends tell." Draco sips on his champagne and shakes his head no. "Friends and close friends are different for me." Hermione picks up a champagne glass and sips on it. "Whatever."
Seamus was reading a magazine in Quidditch when Harry comes to his bed and sat down beside him. Seamus puts down the magazine and looks at Harry curiously. "What do you want?" Harry shakes his head no. "Nothing." Seamus rolls his eyes. "Your weird." He then proceeds to read again. Harry clears his throat that disturbs Seamus so he looks at Harry again.
"I just want to tell you, please take care Hermione for me." Seamus puts down the magazine again. "I knew you would say that. Don't worry, I love her and I will take care of her."
"Sorry. I'm just worried." Seamus pats him at his shoulders. "Don't be. I promise I will take care of her." Harry smiles at him. "Thank you."
Seamus smiles back. "Your welcome." Harry stands up and walks towards his bed. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight, Harry."
Jess was circling her fingers on the ring of the champagne glass. Her departure was now trickling down on her. In front of her were Draco and Hermione. They were the last guests that haven't left yet. She was sad and they knew it.
She puts her hands to her face and she begins to sob. Draco looks at her while Hermione walks over to her and sits beside her. She hugged her and said, "Jess, its ok."
"I can't help it." Hermione pulls away and smiles at her to assure her. "We will still see each other again, right?" Hearing this, Jess cries louder. Draco looks away, he can't bear looking at her suffering. "Hermione, I don't know sobs when I'm gonna sobs be sobs back." Hermione lowers her head and became sad.
The room became silent for awhile then Hermione decides to bid farewell. She stands up. "It's getting late. I think we should leave." Jess wipes her face and stands up. "Yeah, I think you should." Hermione gave her a hug. "I'm gonna miss you. Just owl me if you had a chance." Jess nods and begins to cry again.
Hermione pulls away. She looked at Draco. "I'll wait for you outside." Then she looked at Jess. "Bye, Jess." Jess smiles. "Bye, Mia." Then Hermione left. Draco walks over to her. He holds her hands. "I will miss you, Jess. I wish you wouldn't leave but I can't stop you. That's your dream." Jess pulls him closer to her. "Draco, promise me you'll take care of Hermione." Draco tightens their hug.
"I promise." She kissed him on the cheek. "I'm gonna miss you. Always remember you'll always be my first love." Hearing this, Draco fights back the tears welling up his eyes. "I will always love you, Jess."
"I will too." She breaks their hug even though she doesn't want to.
"So, I guess this is goodbye."
"Yeah. Goodbye, Draco."
"Goodbye, Jess."
