( it may be a tad confusing but please do listen to the song. )
"by the time i was your age, i'd give anything to fall in love truly. that's all i would give."
hermione sat at the bar, a glass of firewhiskey cooled her hand as she sipped it every so often, her stomach barely taking the alcohol. her head was numb and her legs were like jelly. her hair was a mess and she was wearing an oversized shirt, that probably belonged in the men's section but she was sure no one would take notice of her.
but she was wrong.
"now son, i'm only telling you this because life can do terrible things."
she felt herself walking up to him without a second thought. she chuckled to get the man's attention; "can i tell you a wonderful thing? i can't help but notice you staring at me. i know i shouldn't say this, but i really believe...i can tell by your eyes that you're in love with me."
"that's when i met you mother, the girl of my dreams. the most beautiful woman that i'd ever seen—
"most of the time we'd have a drink. we'd laugh at the stars and we'd share almost everything. we were to young to notice and to dumb to care." the man looked at his son.
"we had a love story that couldn't compare." he had this dazed look in his eye but like a candle blew out, it was gone, "but son i'm only telling you this because life can do terrible things."
he watched her with a far away look, barely listening to the girl as she spoke about the book she was fascinating about. he played with the box he held in his hand in his jacket pocket.
"marry me." he said suddenly.
his voice low that she could've missed it.
but hermione just looks at him and takes his hand, her hands were tinier compared to his, "i'm only telling you this, because life can do terrible things–"
but he was speaking before she can finish. "you know that i love you, will you marry me?"
but she either doesn't hear or she just ignores him, because she just continues; "boy can i tell you a terrible thing? it seems that i'm sick and i've only got weeks. please don't be sad, i really believe." she was standing up.
"you were the greatest thing that ever happened to me." she was already running away by then.
but he was faster.
"you'll learn one day, and i hope and i pray that you will get showed differently." and she ran off and this time draco didn't stop her.
and slowly, he feel to his knees, the ground meet them with ease.
draco had tears in his eyes by the time he was finished, he hastily wiped them away with his arm sleeve and looked to the boy that faced him, "so don't fall in love there's just to much to lose. if you're given the choice then i'm begging you, choose to walk far far away. i don't want the same to happen to you."
"because son, i'm only telling you this because life can do terrible things."
