They went to bed and woke up early to set up the Halloween dance decorations. Hogwarts had made it so you only had your classes for 45 minutes each on the holidays so you could spend it with friends and get prepared for the dances that were ahead. Hermione wore a white tank top with khaki pants and her leopard print slippers to decorate. Harry wore dark jeans and a black shirt with plain white socks. They were putting butterbeer and other drinks up for the 7th years. Dumbledore had made the announcement that you could take people from other years too except 1st and 2nd. They were putting candles inside pumpkins and just laying them around. Hermione had brought her laptop and CD's with her so they could listen to music. She was going to leave it in the great hall so when they were dancing they could listen to it too. It was just Harry and Hermione in the great hall so they could talk about anything without people butting in. They had requested that all meals be served in the common rooms so they could have they whole day to decorate.
"Mione," Harry asked.
"Yeah?" Hermione answered.
"Will you sing again?" He asked
"why?"
"I like listening to you."
"That's sweet but wouldn't you rather listen to someone who sounds good?"
"Actually I'd rather listen to someone who sounds fantastic, don't you agree and maybe they'd sing if they say they agree."
"I agree." Hermione said not noticing the catch until after she said it. "No I don't agree."
"You already said you did so sing for me please." Harry said in a playful tone.
"Fine.
I'm so
tired of being here
suppressed by all my childish fears
and if
you to leave
I wish that you would just leave
cause your
presence still lingers here
and it won't leave me alone
these
wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just to real
there's
just too much that
time can not erase
when you cried I'd
wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream I'd
fight
away all of your fears
and I held your hand
through all of
these years
but you still have all of me
you used captivate
me
by your resonating light
now I'm bound
by the life you
left behind
your face it haunts
my once pleasant dreams
your
voice it chased away
all of the sanity in me
these wounds wont
seem to heal
this pain is just to real
there's just to much
that
time can not erase
when you cried I'd
wipe away all
of your tears
when you screamed I'd
fight away all of your
fears
and I held your hand
through all of these years
but
you still have all me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that
you're gone
but though you're still with me
I've been
alone all along
when you cried I'd wipe
away all of your
tears
when you screamed I'd
fight away all of your fears
and
I held your hand
through all of these years
but you still
have
all of me
me
me
Happy now?" Hermione finished.
"yes, it like your voice came from heaven." Harry said
"knock, knock, knock' in on heavens door." Hermione quickly sang "it's a song." She said that because Harry had a confused look on his face. Though as much as she wanted to keep it there she was just being nice.
"oh."Harry said." I signed you up for the talent show."
"YOU WHAT!" Came Hermione's loud, angry voice.
"You're really good so I thought it would be nice."
"Harry, I have stage fright."
"You can sing in front of me, how about we get Ginny, Seamus, Dean, Lavender, Neville, and Luna to come and listen to you sing? Do you think it would help?"
Hermione's eyes were wide as soon as she heard Seamus. She wasn't afraid to sing in front of Ginny but everyone else AND the whole school, that was impossible.
"Maybe, just maybe. I don't know yet I've never sang in front of anyone except you and Ginny." She said.
"well how about you sing in front of me AND Ginny before the dance starts?"
"Okay." She said.
00000o00000o00000o
Hermione was getting ready for the dance as she decided to wear her emerald green dress. Since her hair was in layers when she put it up in the bun, she had to leave some strands hanging down. Her dress was made from a silky material and went up to her mid thighs and was strapless. It looked like a slip to her and since Ginny was dressing her she didn't come out of it no matter how ugly she felt.
"Almost dome Hermione, you look awesome!" Ginny said.
"Really Herm you do." Came Luna's voice.
"Ready?" was Lavenders.
Ginny put a black sapphire necklace on Hermione and said, "Yeah!"
They all went down to the common with smiles except for Hermione. She felt like a whore.
"TA-DA!" was Ginny, Luna, and Lavender's voice when everyone saw them. Harry's jaw dropped when he saw Hermione; to him she was drop dead gorgeous.
"Ready Mione?" He asked.
"Fine!" she said. Then she started singing after it was just her, Ginny, and Harry.
Sleeping awake and
awake when I'm sleeping
I've got a dry kind of thirst, when
drenched
on sunny days all I can see is shadow
I'm not above
being under
I'm at the brink though I know that I'm empty
I
always hide when it's my turn to seek
my only belief is not
to
have faith in believing
before I begin I'm
over
disconnected
broken off again
and I'm only not
lonely
when I'm
lonely by myself
disconnected
numb the pain
again
I always backtrack forward
cuz all in all I'm
disconnected
quietly loud while
noisily silent
keep
holding my breath
while I'm trying to breath
swimming against
all
my waves and rapids
I only win when
I'm
losing
disconnected
broken off again
and I'm only
not
lonely when I'm
by myself
disconnected
numb the
pain again
I always backtrack forward
all in all
I'm
disconnected
I just wanna live
my life sedated
Cuz I love driving
myself away
dysfunctionally sane don't give a dang
I cant
comprehend what I understand
disconnected
broken off again
and
I'm only not
lonely when I'm
by myself
disconnected
numb
the pain again
I always backtrack forward
all in all I'm
disconnected
there, happy?" Hermione said.
"Hermione you sing beautifully why don't you think so?" Luna said.
"LUNA!" everyone shouted.
"that wasn't part of the plan, alright then everyone come out." Harry said.
Seamus, Dean, Neville, Lavender, and as you know Luna were all in the common room smiling and telling Hermione she was great.
"CAN WE DANCE NOW?" Ginny said.
