Hadrian- I pout "I'm bored" I get you putting my book down on my bedside table before walking out. I looking around having a little adventure around the Manor after all I probably haven't seen every room with how big this place is. I get down to the bottom floor at the back near the garden where the ball room is when I hear a Paino playing. I raise my eyebrow moving towards where it was playing, curiosity going through me. I peek into the room seeing loads of instruments in the corners and whole floor with a mirror which has a ballet bar attached to it when I move my eyes connected with the person who was playing the paino, it was Tom. I smile listening to the tune as I sneak in quietly while he is concentrating of him playing, I start to sing.

"Time's a ticking hearts are running
Think that Cupid's up to something
You ask me how I feel I say nothing
But lately colors seems so bright
And the stars light up the night
My feet they feel so light
I'm ignoring all the signs
I keep on frontin'
They ask they bluffin'
I keep you wondering
Keep you hunting for my lovin'
But I crave us hugging
Yeah stay stubborn
'Cause I can't admit that you got all the strings
And know just how tug 'em!"

Tom- I jump turning to look at him before smiling and kept on playing

Hadrian-

"I think I'm in love again
In my head yeah you're in my head
I think I'm in love again
In my head yeah you're in my head
I didn't think it could be true
Let alone that it would be you
I think I'm in love again
I'm in love I'm in love I'm in love

My heart's pacing
I'm confused I'm dazing
I saw something I never seen in you it's got me shaking
I must be hallucinating
I hear it happens, I'm just saying
Babe I'm just saying
Someone give me some paper
Someone give me some crayons
I'm feeling like a child
I need something to play on
I'm trying hard to trust you
When you say give me your hand
Baby I'm falling
I hope you catch me when I land

I think I'm in love again
In my head yea you're in my head
I think I'm in love again
In my head yea you're in my head
I didn't think it could be true
Let alone that it would be you
I think I'm in love again
I'm in love I'm in love I'm in love

In my dreams you're the dutch and I'm the dutchess
And your blunts are always loose
So I'm in charge of rolling dutches
And we getting so high
We always get the munchies
And we go for early brunches
That turn into late lunches
And we ain't got a label
We just rolling with the punches
I make fun of your belly
And tell you to do some crunches
And you say well yea your ass jiggles
Go do some lunges
I say fuck you
While I'm thinking of you as my husband

I think I'm in love
I think I'm in love again
In my head yea you're in my head
Baby I think I'm in love again
I think I'm in love again
In my head yea you're in my head
I didn't think it could be true
Let alone that it would be you
I think I'm in love again
I'm in love I'm in love I'm in love

I think I'm in love again!" I catch my breath opening my eyes not noticing I have then closed in the first place, I turn around seeing Tom smiling at me because I was singing arms out down in slow circles but the room wasn't holding just the two of us anymore but Draco, Narcissia, Lucius, Severus and Lucifer making me blush when I notice they where there.

Draco- I break the silence "you sound like an angel Hadrian, how knew you could sing so beautifully"

Hadrian- I blush "well ermm thanks"

Lucifer- "sing us another song brother"

Hadrian- I walk over to the Instrument area grabbing a normal guitar (non electric) before going back to where I was before clicking my fingers black stool now in place, I sit down left foot on floor right foot bent onto the stool to hold the guitar as I start to place

"I was walking down the street when out the corner of my eye
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me
She said, 'I never seen a man, who looks so all alone
And could you use a little company?
If you can pay the right price, your evening will be nice
But you can go and send me on my way'
I said, 'You're such a sweet young thing, why you do this to yourself?'
She looked at me and this is what she said

Oh there ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed
There ain't nothing in this world for free
Oh no, I can't slow down, I can't hold back
Though you know, I wish I could
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good

Not even fifteen minutes later after walking down the street
When I saw the shadow of a man creep out out of sight
And then he swept up from behind, he put a gun up to my head
He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight
He said, 'Give me all you've got, I want your money not your life
But if you try to make a move I won't think twice'
I told him, 'You can have my cash, but first you know I gotta ask
What made you want to live this kind of life?'
He said

Oh there ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed
There ain't nothing in this world for free
Oh no, I can't slow down, I can't hold back
Though you know, I wish I could
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good

Well now a couple hours past and I was sitting in my house
The day was winding down and coming to an end
And so I turned on the TV and flipped it over to the news
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend
I saw a preacher man in cuffs, he'd taken money from the church
He'd stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills
But even still I can't say much because I know we're all the same
Oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills

Oh there ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
We got bills to pay, we got mouths to feed
There ain't nothing in this world for free
Oh no we can't slow down, we can't hold back
Though you know we wish we could
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good!"

I smirk finishing off looking up seeing there faces full of awe even Lucifer's

Narcissia- "sing an angelic voice like song"

Hadrian- "I kind of thing I have one" I send the stool away and put levitate the guitar back were it was before not bothering to move, I clear my throat with it being a bit dry before singing again

"Well I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

But baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
You know, I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do ya
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah..." I open my eyes when hearing them call clapping for me full of joy and pride flowing through me, I'm glad I got bored and went on an adventure around the Manor now it was so worth it
