Chapter 5: Eraserheads
Hermione's POV
Saturday. Thank God it came. And for the first time, no homework! Maybe the teachers cleared off for Muggle Studies. I have an entire day to spend with Keys.
Just last night, a melody came to me. I was sure that it was for the song, but I didn't have time to practice it.
I placed my fingers over the keys and let the melody play through my hands. It sounded absolutely perfect.
Suddenly, the words came to me.
There will be no ordinary days for you
If there is someone who cares like I do
You have got no reason to be sad anymore
I'm always ready with a smile
With just one glimpse of you
From behind me, someone clapped.
"You're up early" I remarked.
"Yeah, well, lyrics have been bugging me in the middle of the night, so," he shrugged and pulled a stool beside me. He held the guitar like he's been playing it forever. The way he held his guitar . . . there was something different about him . . . almost as if . . . as if . . .
Hermione snap out of it!
You don't have to search no more
Coz I am someone who
Will love you for sure
I smiled at him and together we sang and played the chorus.
So if we fall in love
Maybe we'll sing this song as one
If we fall in love
We can write a better song than this
If we fall in love
We will have this melody in our heads
If we fall in love
Anywhere with you would be a better place.
More lyrics came to me.
It feels so good when you're around
One smile from you
Make my day just so bright
So if we fall in love
Maybe we'll sing this song as one
If we fall in love
We can write a better song than this
If we fall in love
We will have this melody in our heads
If we fall in love
Anywhere with you would be a better place
Draco's POV
"It doesn't . . . feel right," I told Hermione. "It only feels halfway done."
'I agree," she replied. We stopped and stared for a while. "We actually just agreed."
After a few moments, the two of us laughed.
"I guess we better get going," Hermione said. "Breakfast ends in less than an hour.
"You taken a shower yet?" I asked.
"Uh, no,' she replied, a little embarrassed.
"You go first," I said. "I have an essay to finish."
She went to her room with a skip in her step. I tried playing the guitar for a bit, but the piano kept mocking me, inviting me to switch it on and play.
Hermione came out of her room and I pretended to be cool while I played the guitar. She looked at me weirdly.
"What?" I asked innocently.
"I thought you had an essay to finish?"
"Ah, it's the weekend," I replied. "I can do it anytime." She shook her head and went in the bathroom.
"The piano continued to mock me.
You know you want to Draco . . . it seemed to say. Soon, I gave in to the temptation.
"You won me over, Keys," I said to the piano as I sat down and flipped the switch. I played the only piece I knew, Cannon, with several errors.
Oh well. Practice makes perfect.
I played the piece again a couple of times and succeeded in playing with only a couple of errors. I was about to play again when I heard the tap shut. I immediately flipped the switch and went back to the stool with the guitar, trying my best to look inconspicuous. She stepped out of the shower and seeing her out of her Hogwarts robes seemed to have made me catch my breath.
Wait, what?
"Your turn," she said. I put my guitar down, not too quickly, and went to my room to get my towel.
