Title: Till The Fat Lady Sings
Disclaimer: I don't own Draco( as much as I'd love to) or any of the characters that I'm using. I don't own the song at the end, that's all Rascal Flatts.
Summary: The story ends and Draco throws a fit.
Hermione rushed into the Great Hall and sat down beside her friends and her boyfriend. Neville threw her a curious look as she tried to catch her breath.
"Today's the eighth day!" She exclaimed. Ron and Harry looked at their friend with confused faces. Neville, however, realized her point and sighed.
"Oh, no. He didn't even get to sing his song." The brown haired boy shook his head in dismay.
"What are you two going on about?" Ron asked, looking back and forth between the two hoping for an answer.
"It's the eighth day of the spell, Ron." Neville began. Harry's eyes widened in realization.
"Which means that the spell will end with an overture." Hermione continued the explanation.
"Which means that Draco won't get to sing his love song, and we won't get to hear him sing anymore." Harry finished and rested his head in his hands.
"Which means we can stop saying 'which.' And...wait, what? No more of Draco's singing?" Ron's eyes lit up. The redhead jumped up and danced a little jig, until he became aware of the fact that the entire hall was watching him. He blushed and sat down. But the news of the song spell ending had been heard and traveled through the hall.
"What? No! It can't be ending! I didn't get my song!" The young Malfoy was...upset to say the least, the very least. Blaise was about to comfort his friend when music began to fill the hall.
"Everybody wants to be a witch, because a witch is the only witch who knows where it's at." Madam Hooch began to sing, her voice filling the hall, she blushed.
"Everybody's pickin' up on that female beat, 'cause everything else is obsolete." McGonagall sang to back up her fellow teacher.
"I've heard some corny witches who tried to sing, but a wizard's the only wizard who knows how to swing." Snape, who was frozen with fear when the music began, stood and retaliated. The music changed and the three teachers sat down.
"I wanna be like you." Colin moved closer to his idol and sang.
"I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too." Third year Gryffindors sang as his back up. Draco stood up on the other side of the hall.
"No! Stop this right now!" The music cut off abruptly at the young boy's shout.
"This is not fair! I sat here and watched as Granger and Longbottom sang their little hearts out, while the candles were lit and the lights were dimmed and it was all stupidly romantic. Then I watched as my best friend and his new girlfriend," Malfoy spit the word out like it burned and pointed an accusatory finger to Blaise and Alexa, "danced to their own love song! And I'm standing here to tell you this is not fair and it's not over till the fat lady sings!" As if to emphasize his point, Draco stomped his foot and put on his best glare. Suddenly music began.
"It's over! Because the fat lady is singing!" The line was sung by the Herbology teacher and the music shut off again. Everyone in the hall was stunned and turned to see what Draco's reaction was going to be. The blond boy looked shocked. There was a popping sound and everyone turned to look at the girl who had appeared in the room.
"How did you get in? Hogwarts is completely protected against intruders!" McGonagall was on her feet and asking questions. The lightly tanned girl waved her off and explained.
"No, it's okay. I'm the author, I can do what I want." Everyone stared at her, and she flinched under so many gazes. The girl was dressed in tattered jeans and a black t-shirt. Her brown hair was pulled back and her sneakers were colored on with the signatures of her friends.
"Um...my name is Night Essence and I just came to apologize to Draco." She turned to the boy previously spoken of, and began her apology.
"I'm so sorry. I know you wanted to sing a love song really badly, but I couldn't come up with a song to suit you. I mean you are perfect, and you've got great assets."
"That's what I said!" Harry jumped up and said. Hundreds of eyes shifted to look at him and he blushed before sitting down.
"Yeah, uh...anyway. I decided to let you sing a few lines of a song. So, yeah...enjoy." The girl disappeared with another pop and music filled the room, just like she promised.
"What hurts the most, was being so close. And having so much to say..." Draco sang his voice filling the silent hall.
"And watching you walk away and never knowing..." Blaise picked up and sang, but quickly trailed off when Draco glared at him.
"What could have been, and not seeing that loving you is what I was tryin' to do." Draco finished the few lines that were given to him and the music ended. The Great Hall was still silent and Draco made his way back to his table. Applause broke out and soon everyone was cheering and whistling. Draco grinned and stood and took a few bows. When everyone settled down, the students resumed eating.
"Wow. What a way to end the past couple weeks." Hermione commented.
"Yeah, it was fun." Harry agreed and Neville nodded. Ron looked at his friends and then to the Headmaster. His brown eyes widened when he saw Dumbledore wand.
"NOOO!" Ron yelled out, but it was too late. Music filled the Great Hall.
Yeah, I ended it. Nobody seemed that into it anymore. No, there's not gonna be another sequel. Thanks for the support. And I know I promised to send everyone who wanted a Draco/Harry love song a chapter, I just couldn't find the time and I'm so sorry. If it helps, I have a story called Love Will Find A Way and it's a Harry/Draco pairing with a Lion King song. So...yeah. I'm so sorry. Anyway, please review.
