Start from the beginning
                                    

    Draco smiled at her and then started singing and playing.

Song: Lucky (feat. Colbie Caillat)- Jason Mraz

Draco: And do you hear me? I'm talking to you
Across the water, across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my
Baby, I'm tryin'

Allie: Boy, I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

Both: Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Both: They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Everytime we say goodbye I wish I had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

Both: I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Draco: And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair

Allie: Though the breezes through the trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

Both: I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Both: I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Both: Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

When they finished, there was loud cheering and clapping. They turned around and the entire Slytherin house and Snape were watching from the door. Allie grinned and Draco rolled his eyes playfully.

"The queen can sing!" Blaise shouted.

Everyone clapped. Draco smirked and kissed Allie on the lips. They all cheered and Draco stopped and rolled his eyes again. Blaise walked over and said "Come with me, Your Highness." Allie looked happy and scared and Blaise grabbed her hand and started leading her out the door. Draco and the rest of the Slytherins followed.

They reached the Great Hall where the whole school was eating. "Sing for them." Blaise said, motioning to everyone. "I don't think so." Allie said, turning to leave. Blaise stopped her and started dragging her to the front of the hall. All of the Slytherins sat down at their table and Snape joined the teacher table.

"Who wants the Queen of Hogwarts to sing?" Blaise announced. Everyone in the room cheered. Allie rolled her eyes as Blaise walked away.

Dumbledore walked over to her and handed her a microphone. "But, Professor, I-" Allie started, but Dumbledore cut her off. "Sing us a good song, Allie." He sat back down and Allie turned to the silent hall.

Song: Stand By You- Rachel Platten

Hands, put your empty hands in mine
And scars, show me all the scars you hide
And hey, if your wings are broken
Please take mine so yours can open too
'Cause I'm gonna stand by you

Oh, tears make kaleidoscopes in your eyes
And hurt, I know you're hurting, but so am I
And love, if your wings are broken
Borrow mine so yours can open too
'Cause I'm gonna stand by you

Even if we're breaking down, we can find a way to break through
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through hell with you
Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find heaven, I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through hell with you
Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you

Yeah, you're all I never knew I needed
And the heart, sometimes it's unclear why it's beating
And love, if your wings are broken
We can brave through those emotions too
'Cause I'm gonna stand by you

Oh, truth, I guess truth is what you believe in
And faith, I think faith is helping to reason
No, no, no, love, if your wings are broken
Borrow mine so yours can open too
'Cause I'm gonna stand by you

Even if we're breaking down, we can find a way to break through
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through hell with you
Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find heaven, I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through hell with you
Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you
I'll be your eyes 'til yours can shine
And I'll be your arms, I'll be your steady satellite
And when you can't rise, well, I'll crawl with you on hands and knees
'Cause I... I'm gonna stand by you

Even if we're breaking down, we can find a way to break through, come on
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through hell with you
Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find heaven, I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through hell with you
Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you
Love, you're not alone
Oh, I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find heaven, heaven, heaven
Yeah, I'm gonna stand by you

    The entire hall clapped and Allie grinned happily as she handed the microphone back to Dumbledore. She ran to the Slytherin table and Blaise high-fived her. Draco just smiled and put an arm around her shoulders.

    "I figured that song would be good for these troubled times. We all need each other." Allie explained. Draco nodded. "You know Draco, I realized something." Draco looked at her and asked "And what is that?"

"Life is a song. We start singing and keep going till the end. Even if we run out of breath."
