Chapter 4

Staffan var en stalledräng

Vi tackom nu så gärna

Han vattnar sina fålar fem,

allt för den ljusa stjärna

Ingen dager synes än,

stjärnorna på himmelen de blänka

. . .

Staffan was a stableman

We thank him now so well

He waters his ponies five,

all for the bright star

No daylight was seen yet,

stars on the sky they shine

"Staffan var en stalledräng" ("Staffan was a stableman")

Something weird happened every time Malfoy couldn't take his eyes off no of if Voldemort rose again and was standing next to him breathing down his neck, Harry was riveted. That's how enchanting Malfoy was when he put his mouth to use for something other than irritating the hell out of everybody.

Harry liked Malfoy when he sang. Not in a "I like you, let's be friends" kind of way, but in the way that he was bearable. Harry could look at him, listen to him, even think about him, and he would not feel rage, irritation, regret, sorrow, guilt or any other unpleasant feelings that usually came with Malfoy.

Yes, Harry liked when Malfoy sang. But as soon as he stopped, it was like reality hit him hard in the gut, to remind him just who that voice belonged to.

"Are you gonna sit there all day and stare or are you actually gonna make yourself useful?" Malfoy sneered, usual smirk right in place. Greengrass said something in Malfoy's ear that made him laugh and Harry didn't doubt for a second that it was about him.

So this was the git that he was going to have to watch over. The tall, blond, pointy faced prick with the most amazing voice eve- no, what the fuck, just – no.

After their second choir lesson with Flitwick, Harry, Ron and Hermione finally headed to the Great Hall for dinner.

"Merlin, I'm so hungry!" Ron complained, "I don't get why we have to meet every single day."

"It's because there is so much to prepare for, Ron. Haven't you noticed how long the list of songs is?" Hermione said, "And it's crucial that everyone knows everything by heart."

"Yeah, but still..."

"And the professors have lowered the workload for us too. We have less homework or exams to prepare for, so it's obvious that they want us to focus on this."

"Well that's at least one good thing that comes from this." Harry said as they entered the Great Hall. He spotted Ginny and Luna sitting at the Gryffindor table and smiled a little as they walked over there and sat down.

"How come you're always so late for dinner?" Ginny asked, keeping her voice as nonchalant as possible, but Harry could hear the anger behind it.

"Er–" he started.

"We'll find out in time. Isn't it obvious that Harry can't say anything?" Luna of all people said, and Harry smiled at her. Luna was brilliant sometimes.
