Chapter 27

Hermione eventually pulled herself together. She hadn't even realised Tallulah had gone, but there was a note. Hermione picked up the piece of parchment and read the neat cursive writing.

Dear Hermione,

I of all people know what it's like to lose a sibling. My eldest brother was the one that felt the need to protect me. He and I were very close so believe me when I say that I know your pain. You also will have to believe me when I say that although many years have passed-over a decade in fact-the pain takes longer to go away and it shall never be gone fully. That just shows we loved them, that the pain never disappears. Soon you will be able to listen to his song and smile.

Love Tallulah xxx

Hermione felt a tear run down her cheek, but it wasn't a sad tear it was happy. She was happy that Tallulah cared enough about her that she would share this.

"Thank you." Hermione smiled. She wiped the single tear from her cheek and went up stairs into the bedroom.

Hermione sat on the edge of the bed where Draco was currently taking in ragged breaths. She stroked a lock of hair that had fallen into his eyes and began to hum Danny's song.

After the second round of the chorus Hermione felt tears run down each cheek. Draco's breathing became more normal...maybe that was the reason she wasn't in hysterics. Hermione finished the song. She leant over and planted a kiss of Draco's forehead.

"Merlin I hope that worked." She whispered to him before leaving the room and gently shutting the door.

Maybe she was just emotional from humming the song. Maybe she was going crazy. Or maybe, just maybe, she just wanted to because she was in fact forgiving the Slytherin Prince.

Draco smiled slightly. He shouldn't've! She was Hermione Granger he should've hexed her for kissing his forehead. He didn't though because maybe, just maybe, he was starting to like the Gryffindor Princess.

"So do I Granger. So do I." Draco whispered in a hoarse voice.

Draco felt himself drift off into a sleep, hopefully this one would be peaceful.
