Cherri: I know! Over 90 reviews in 5 chapters? Are you for real?
Izze: No. They aren't real. They are all robots.
Cherri: Right.
Erin: HIIII! I'm just commenting because I'm just that awesome ;)

Izze: Thanks for everything! Hope you like this last chapter!
(Note: Erin would like to have reviews about her. LOL Just kidding. :) She was here when we were editing, so she wanted to say a couple of "words".)
I was up until 2 in the morning working on the song for the talent show, so the next day, I was dead tired.
"Good morning, 'Mione. Merlin's latex shorts! What happened to you?" exclaimed Ginny, as I walked towards the Gryffindor
"'Merlin's latex shorts'?" mused Harry.
"That's not the point. Hermione, you look terrible!" she shouted, surprised.
"Wow. Thanks Ginny." I said, sitting down. "I was up until 2 AM last night." I yawned.
"Doing what?" asked Harry.
"Writing a song for the talent show today." I said, wiping the sleep out of my eyes.
"Oh. Yeah." he said, taking a bite out of his Danish roll. "Say, where's Ron?"
Ginny rolled her eyes. "He's somewhere snogging Lavender." she said, with a disgusted look on her face.
"Hermione." said a voice behind me. I turned around to see Draco's usual smirking face. I was glad to see he was feeling better.
He slid into the seat next to me. "I hear you are going to be in the talent show this afternoon." he said.
"Yeah. I am." I said, blushing slightly.
"Can we help you, Malfoy?" asked Harry, looking annoyed.
He put his arm around me causing Harry to glare at him. My face got several degrees warmer.
"Excuse me, Potter." he spat, "but I don't think it's against the law to say good luck to one of my best friends." he said, emphasizing the last 2 words.
My heart sank. That's all I would ever be, his best friend. Maybe today would change something.
Suddenly, the bell rang.
"Thanks," I said sweetly, "but I should get to class."
The next few hours past by quickly. That was probably because I almost fell asleep in every class but the butterflies in my stomach kept me up.
Finally, it was time for the talent show. All of Hogwarts was seated in the Great Hall, and performers (including myself) were gathered in Professor Flitwick's Choir Practice Room.
I nervously strummed my guitar as I vaguely heard Professor Flitwick say a few words about the talent show and how it is a time to show musical talents as well as physical talents. Professor Dumbledore introduced the first act-a juggling act by some second year Hufflepuff.
"Hello, Hermione." said a low voice. I turned around to see Blaise Zabini-one of Draco's best friends who was also a 7th year Slytherin.
"Blaise! You're doing an act?" I said, in surprise.
"Yeah. I'm rapping and singing to a Muggle song I heard, called 'More' by a Muggle named 'Usher' or something." he said. "What about you?"
"Uh, I'm doing a song that I wrote called 'You Belong With Me'." I said. I felt really awkward talking about it with Draco's best friend.
"I see. Is it about someone?" he asked.
"...well um," I said blushing, "Yeah it is."
"I see...Draco?" he mused.
"Is it really that obvious?" I asked.
He laughed, but before he could say something Dumbledore called him up to the stage. "Good luck!" he called and winked at me.
"Wait, what?" I just stood there looking confused.
It wasn't too long until it was my turn to sing. I'd have never sung in front of anyone except Ginny and for all I knew I wasn't very good. I was so nervous walking up to the stage. I scanned the crowd looking for a reassuring face until I saw Draco. His smiling face made me forget all my worries and I sang my heart out.
You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
She's going off about something that you said
'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do
A couple months ago Draco made a joke about the cheerleaders that Pansy took offensive, where as I found it hilarious
I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
And she'll never know your story like I do
But she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
I looked at Draco. His expression was unreadable. Could he tell?
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You, you belong with me, you belong with me
People whooped and whistled. I smiled. The corners of Draco's lips started rising as well.
Walking the streets with you and your worn-out jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself
Hey, isn't this easy?
I laughed thinking about it.
And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say you're fine, I know you better than that
Hey, what ya doing with a girl like that?
I felt so much more confident, so I started singing with a little bit of attitude.
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know?
Baby, you belong with me, you belong with me
Oh, I remember you flying to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're 'bout to cry
And I know your favorite songs and you tell me 'bout your dreams
Think I know where you belong, think I know it's with me
Another time in the summer he flew to my house after he and Pansy had a big fight.
Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you?
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time, how could you not know?
Baby, you belong with me, you belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me?
You belong with me
I played my last chord and the crowd burst out into thunderous applause. I quickly hurried out of the great hall. I couldn't look at Draco's expression. As I walked out I saw Blaise chuckling to himself.
After the show many people came up and congratulated me and said I was their favorite act. Then, Draco walked up.
"Hey, good job," he smirked.
"Thanks, I wrote it myself," I blushed.
"That's what I thought," he said, is it about someone?"
"Uh yeah..." I said, the butterflies coming back. He knows.
Suddenly Draco blurted, "Cool! Who is it? I'll help set you up!"
I stared at him in shock. "Are you kidding me? Are you really that dense!" I screamed. "Its you!"
He stared at me with a blank shocked expression, and I ran away from him.
I sat in the library sobbing. I should have known he didn't feel the same way about me. He liked to go out with stuck up Slytherins.
Suddenly, I felt a light hand on my shoulder.
"What." I snarled. Draco was standing behind me with an amused expression.
"Actually," Draco said softly, "I did know. Or at least I was hoping it was me. I've liked you for a long time, but I couldn't bring myself to tell you. I was afraid that you wouldn't like me back."
"Then why did you go out with Pansy?" I asked.
"Oh, um, Pansy said she would tell you I liked you if I didn't go out with her." he said, sheepishly.
I laughed, "That's stupid."
"Hey! I'm a Slytherin, I'm too proud to go through rejection." he protested.
I laughed.
"I love you 'Mione." he whispered, leaning towards me.
"I love you too, Draco." I replied as the gap between our lips closed.
I knew it-You Belong With Me, Draco Malfoy.
