DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER OR THIS SONG. THE TRUTH HURTS :(

I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER IT WAS LATE AFTERNOON

IT LASTED FOREVER

AND ENDED SO SOON

YOU WERE ALL BY YOURSELF

STARING UP AT A DARK GRAY SKY

I WAS CHANGED

It was dark. Draco Malfoy was sitting on top of the Astronomy Tower. He was staring at the gray sky. There was a letter, lying next to Draco. He had received it that morning. It had said that Draco's mother had been murdere4d by his father. Hermione was standing in the doorway, watching Draco. Tears started pouring down his face.

IN PLACES NO ONE WOULD FIND ALL YOUR FEELINGS SO DEEP INSIDE IT WAS THEN THAT I RELALIZED THAT FOREVER WAS IN YOUR EYES THE MOMENT I SAW YOU CRY Hermione stepped out of the doorway and headed toward Draco. Hermione sat down next to Draco. She looked up at sky. Hermione looked back at Draco.

"Draco? Are you alright?" Hermione asked softly. Draco didn't look at Hermione, but still spoke.

"Why do you care? I thought you hated me?" Draco said hopelessly.

"I don't hate you. But even if I did, I don't like to see anybody hurt, like you are now." Hermione said. She still spoke softly. Draco looked at Hermione.

"You don't hate me?" Draco said.

"No. I just always thought you were just the way you were, was because the way your father treated you." Hermione said.

IT WAS LATE IN SEPTEMBER

AND I'D SEEN YOU BEFORE

YOU WERE ALWAYS THE COLD ONE

BUT I WAS NEVER THAT SURE

YOU WERE ALL BY YOURSELF

STARING UP AT THE DARK GRAY SKY

I WAS CHANGED

"You know, you're a smart girl Granger. How did you know how my father treated me?" Draco asked.

"Because I saw him treat you that way in Diagon Ally. How he yells at you. How he pushes you around. I hate to see people treat their kids like that." Hermione said. Draco nodded his head in agreement. Hermione looked at Draco again.

"I heard what happened to your mother. I'm sorry." Hermione apologized.

"It's ok. I knew it was going to happen sooner or later." Draco said.

IN PLACES NO ONE WOULD FIND

AL YOUR FEELINGS SO DEEP INSIDE

IT WAS THEN THAT I REALIZED

THAT FOREVER WAS IN YOUR EYES

THE MOMENT I SAW YOU CRY

"Your father beat you a lot, didn't he?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah. Yeah, he did. Me and my mother. He's been beating me since I was real little. For as long as I can remember." He explained.

"That must've been tough." Hermione said. There was a few minutes of silence.

"Malfoy, can I ask you a question?"

"Shoot."

"Why do you hate me?" She asked.

"I don't hate you Granger. It's just that – I'm jealous of you and your friends. They like you for who you are, not what you have. Did you know that my father paid Grabbe and Goyle to be my friend?" Draco said.

"Are you serious?" Hermione said, shocked.

"Yeah."

"That's wrong."

I WANTED TO HOLD YOU

I WANTED TO MAKE IT GO AWAY

I WANTED TO KNOW YOU

I WANTED TO MAKE YOUR EVERYTHING…ALRIGHT

I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER

IT WAS LATE AFTERNOON

"I really like you Hermione." Draco said.

"I really like you too." Hermione smiled. Draco smiled back. They leaned forward and kissed.

IN PLACES NO ONE WOULD FIND

ALL YOUR FEELINGS SO DEEP INSIDE

IT WAS THEN THAT I REALIZED

THAT FOREEVER WAS IN YOUR EYES

THE MOMENT I SAW YOU CRY

IN PLACES NO ONE WOULD FIND

ALL YOUR FEELINGS DEEP INSIDE

IT WAS THEN THAT I REALIZED

THAT FOREVER WAS IN YOUR EYES

THE MOMENT I SAW YOU CRY
