A/n: all poems and songs are mine unless stated otherwise. The band title is going to be River of Tears. Also I'm going to make the time skip ahead so don't get mad. It would take forever to go day by day.

Somewhere Out There
The foursome gathered outside the hallway where the sign up sheet was. Hermione watched as many students signed the sheet. She was shocked to see Harry and Ron sign. Hermione was pulled from her thoughts when her name was called.
"May, so what's our band name going to be? We need to put it up there." Heaven asked while leaning on her boyfriend.
"Well, if it's ok with you guys I want us to be called River of Tears." She looked around for approval. Draco shrugged and nodded. Matt gave thumbs up, pleased that his idea was chose. Heaven nodded. "Ok then, let's do this." Hermione walked over and signed the sheet.
After she was done, she looked back at it and saw the time when her band was to perform. River of Tears 10:30 a.m. October 22nd Great Hall.
"OK, we meet here at 10:30 the 22nd. So that gives us almost two months to practice and come up with songs to play and sing. We are going to need to make a schedule for when to meet. I don't know about you but I still want to pass my classes. Anyone have any ideas? How about you Mr. Manager?" Hermione smiled looking over at Draco.
"Well, I think we could practice every Saturday. Also whenever we have time after homework and studying we should practice."
"What about quidditch?" Matt asked.
"I'm not on the team anymore. I gave the spot away. I never really liked playing. It was something my father wanted, not me."
"Well, then that settles it. Let's go practice." Heaven pulled on Matt and reached for Hermione's hand. They all walked to the Head's common room.
"We have a problem."
"What's that May?"
"Draco and Matt don't have instruments."
"Says who?" Matt reached into is pocket and pulled out a shrunken guitar case. When he unshrank it they all saw a black bass guitar with blue lightening streaks.
"Nice. I'll go get my drum set." Draco walked off to his room. Piece by piece he brought out the deep green colored drum set.
"Ok, well I have MY guitar and Heaven is using my keyboard. So let's do this.
They practiced all day and night, all four forgetting about dinner. When 11 rolled around they finally stopped to take a break.
"Does anyone know what time it is?" Hermione looked around at them, to see everyone falling asleep. "Ok, I'm guessing it's late." Hermione walked over and lay down next to an almost sleeping Draco. She spooned herself into his body. "Draco," she whispered.
"Hmm?"
"What is this?"
"Whatever you want it to be. I already told you I liked you." With that, he got up and walked out of the portrait hole.
Sighing, Hermione got up and went after him. She heard footsteps ahead and followed them. They continued until they reached the astronomy tower. Walking inside she saw Draco standing on the ledge of the tower looking at the sky.
"Hermione, why can't you accept that I've changed? Why are you leading me on? Earlier you hugged me. You LET me hold you in my arms. You've been holding my hand. Just now you laid down next to me. If you don't want to be with me then why are you hurting me? I have feelings you know." Hermione walked up and stood next to him. Dangerously close to the edge she held onto his arm for support.
"I know Draco. I know you have feelings. You have to understand me. The whole time I have known you, you were nothing but a prick to me. Also, you have to let me take my time with you. You're a man. I have had bad experiences with men. My stepfather, he um, molested and hit me. It's hard for me ok. And for me to have just told you, that should show you that I believe you. I trust you now. Just don't let me down ok." She turned to hug him, but lost her footing. Her body was falling. She screamed.
"HERMIONE!" Draco reached for her.
Last time I talked to
you
You were lonely and out of place
You were looking down on
me
Lost out in space
We laid underneath the stars
Strung
out and feeling brave
I watched the red orange glow
I watched
you float away
Down here in the atmosphere
Garbage and city
lights
You've gone to save your tired soul
You've gone to save
our lives
I turned on the radio
To find you on
satellite
I'm waiting for the sky to fall
I'm waiting for a
sign
And all we are
Is all so far
Draco looked around frantically for something to help him. "Wand, you idiot." He thought to himself. He pulled out is wand and shouted a spell to slow her down. It worked a little. "She's falling too fast still. My BROOM!" He turned around and screamed "Accio broom!" It zoomed into the room. He jumped on and raced to catch her.
You're falling back to
me
The star that I can see yeah
I know your out there,
somewhere out there
You're falling out of reach
Defying gravity
yeah
I know you're out there, somewhere out there
Hope you
remember me
When you're home sick and need a change
I miss your
purple hair
I miss the way you taste
I know you'll come back
some day
On a bed of nails I wait
I'm praying that you don't
burn out or fade away
And all we are
Is all so far
"DRACO! HELP!" Hermione screamed. She reached her arms out. He was coming closer but he was out of reach. She was falling. The spell was wearing off. The ground was coming at her fast. Her fingers were touching his. They couldn't hold on.
You're falling back to
me
The star that I can see yeah
I know your out there,
somewhere out there
You're falling out of reach
Defying gravity
yeah
I know you're out there, somewhere out there
You're
falling back to me
The star that I can see
I know your out
there, oh
Your falling out of reach
Defying gravity
I know
you're out there, somewhere out there
He got closer and closer. "Just a little more. Come on damn broom. Go faster!"
"Hold on May, I got you!" He grabbed her hand, just before she hit the ground. Suspended in the air he pulled her to him. Both of them were shaking. "God, I thought I lost you."
She cried into his shoulder getting closer to him. They sat five feet above the ground, holding each other under the stars.
You're falling back
to me
The star that I can see yeah
I know your out there,
somewhere out there
Your falling out of reach
Defying gravity
yeah
I know you're out there, somewhere out there
You're
falling back to me
I know, I know
You're falling out of reach
oh
I know...
Draco flew them back to the astronomy tower and they lay together on the floor, neither one having the strength to move. Hermione was snuggled into his chest, tears staining her face.
"Hermione, will you never let me go forever?"
"Only if you never let me go forever."
"I promise not to."
"Ditto." With that word she fell asleep in his arms. Draco conjured up a blanket and covered them. He then fell asleep too.
A/n: I know this one is shorter than the last, but I wanted to get it written. The song is NOT mine it is called Somewhere Out There by Our Lady Peace. Also a note on this song, Draco is thinking of the lyrics as Hermione is falling. So this song is going to be his song. But you will have to wait till later to know about that. Thanks all.
