"The first day of our sixth year, when we came back

We'd make out in the RoR to Radiohead

And on my seventeenth birthday, we got matching tattoos

Used to steal firewhisky and fly to the roof

Talk about our future like we had a clue

Never planned that one day, I'd be losing you" 

Hermione sang quietly as she danced through the Room of Requirement.

"In another life

I will be your girl

We keep all our promises

be us against the world"

She reminisced on all of the memories they had made in this room, kissing in front of that stupid Vanishing Cabinet, dancing to Mr. Loverman, and eating chocolate-dipped strawberries on Valentine's Day

"In another life

I will make you stay

So I don't have to stay away

The one that got away

The one that got away"

Tears flowed freely down her cheeks, she wiped them and kept singing.

"I was June and you were my Johnny Cash

Never one without the other, we made a pact

Sometimes when I miss you I put those records on (whoa)

Someone said you had your tattoo removed

Saw you downtown singing the blues

It's time to face the music, I'm no longer your muse 

In another life

I will be your girl

We keep all our promises

Be us against the world

In another life

I will make you stay

So I don't have to stay away

The one that got away 

The one that got away"

She was practically sobbing, remembering all of the memories they made together. Sneaking through the halls on New Year's Eve to kiss on top of the Astronomy Tower at midnight, shagging in the Divination Room, saying their first 'I love you' on Halloween after the feast.

"But in another life

I would be your girl

We'd keep all our promises

Be us against the world

In another life

I would make you stay

So I don't have to say you were

The one that got away

The one that got away

The one

The one

The one

The one that got away"

She wiped her tears, planning to stop singing right then and there and leave the room. But someone's voice continued the song and made her stop in her tracks.

"All this money can't buy me a time machine, no

Can't replace you with a million rings, no

I should've told you what you meant to me (whoa)

'Cause now I pay the price

In another life

I would be your boy

We'd keep all our promises

Be us against the world

In another life

I would make you stay

So I don't have to say you were

The one that got away

The one that got away"

In the doorway, leaning against the doorframe, was Draco Malfoy. She glanced at him and he raised his eyebrows.

"The one (the one)

The one (the one)

The one (the one)

In another life

I would make you stay

So I don't have to say you were

The one that got away

The one that got away"

They finished the song together, and Draco took a step towards her. She let out a strangled sob and ran to him, throwing her arms around his neck. "I'm sorry," he whispered into the crook of her neck. She shook her head, pulling away from him.

"No," she sobbed. "I'm sorry. I should've held on to you. I shouldn't have let you go. I love you, Draco Malfoy and I'm so so sorry for ever letting you go."

He pulled her into his chest. "I love you too. I shouldn't have ever let my father tear us apart." He kissed the tip of her ear. 

She leaned back. His hands move to her chin, pulling her lips to his. She grinned into the kiss, pulling him even (if possible) closer. They were together again, and that was all that mattered. 

A/N My first ever attempt at a songfic. It was bad lol. But I'm probably going to do Secret Love Song by Little Mix soon.
