A few days after their performance at the Ministry, Draco found himself at the top of the Astronomy tower. 

Draco smiled as he stepped onto the top room of the astronomy tower. Hermione leaned against the open railing, the wind whipping at her dress.

"I got your note," he commented, breaking the silence. Hermione turned to look at him and smiled half-heartedly. Draco's face fell. "Is something wrong?" he asked, standing beside her at the railing. She sighed.

"Draco..." she began. "I hate having to say this. I really do, but I have to. I don't think we should do this."

"Do what? What are you talking about?" Hermione shook her head.

"Us. Every time we're together, Ron only gets more angry. He's dangerous, Draco and I don't want you to get hurt."

"So you want to stop because of the Weasel?"

"It's not just him, it's nearly everyone." She hesitated, fighting to get the words out. "People won't like us together." Draco stepped closer, grabbing one of her hands.

"I don't care what people think." Hermione stared at him, her brown eyes glimmering with sadness. He frowned, a thought passing through his head. "Weasley...He didn't put you up to this, did he? Cause if he threatened you-"

"He didn't do anything- yet. It's what he might do that I'm afraid of."

"You don't have to be afraid. I'll protect you, you know that." She smiled sadly at him.

"But if you're protecting me, then who's left to protect you? I just think this is all going so quickly that I'm going to trip and fall." Draco paused, thinking. She gazed at him for a moment before kissing him gently and walking towards the stairs. Draco turned to watch her go, frantically trying to think of something that could get her to stop. A sudden idea popped into his head and he ran with it.

"You know I want you" he sang. Hermione paused at the doorway. "It's not a secret I try to hide. 
I know you want me, So don't keep saying our hands are tied." She turned to face him and opened her mouth to protest. But Draco swung himself over the railing, his feet on the very edge of the tower, his grip the only thing preventing him from falling to the ground far below them. Hermione gasped and rushed over as he kept singing. 
"You claim it's not in the cards
But fate is pulling you miles away
And out of reach from me
But you're here in my heart
So who can stop me if I decide
That you're my destiny?" She grabbed the railing, her eyes wide as Draco leaned closer to her, the railing the only thing separating them. 

"What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
Nothing could keep us apart
You'd be the one I was meant to find." Draco jumped up on the railing, balancing on the thin line of metal. Herione bit back another gasp, praying he wouldn't fall as he threw out his arms. 
"It's up to you
And it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
So why don't we rewrite the stars?
Maybe the world could be ours-" He jumped down, landing just inches away from her. "Tonight"


"You think it's easy," Hermione accused. "You think I don't want to run to you
But there are mountains
And there are doors that we can't walk through
I know you're wondering why
Because we're able to be
Just you and me
Within these walls
But when we go outside
You're gonna wake up and see that it was hopeless after all." She hopped up on the railing, sitting carefully on it as she leaned towards Draco. "No one can rewrite the stars
How can you say you'll be mine
Everything keeps us apart
And I'm not the one you were meant to find
It's not up to you
It's not up to me
When everyone tells us what we can be
How can we rewrite the stars?
Say that the world can be ours
Tonight" Draco held out his hand and she took it, both of them dancing around the room. 

"All I want is to fly with you," they sang together.
"All I want is to fall with you
So just give me all of you"

"It feels impossible!" Hermione yelled, bracing herself in the doorway.

"It's not impossible!" Draco called back, braced on the other side. 

"Is it impossible?"

"Say that it's possible" they sang, letting the note hang in the air. Then Hermione raced towards the stairs, letting herself slide down the banister, her dress swirling behind her. Draco was quick to follow suit. 
"How do we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine?
Nothing can keep us apart
Cause you are the one I was meant to find
It's up to you
And it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
Why don't we rewrite the stars?
Changing the world to be ours!"

They reached the bottom of the stairs, which opened up to the rest of the school. They circled each other, panting slightly.

"You know I want you," Hermione insisted. "It's not a secret I try to hide
But I can't have you
We're bound to break and
My hands are tied."

She stared at him a moment more before backing away, leaving him alone at the foot of the stairs.
