The lyrics
just fit so incredibly perfect (is that the right grammar?), and I love
Draco/Hermione fics and…ah,
who am I kidding.
I just love the thought of Draco singing this song in Janet’s high, feathery
voice…

"Doesn’t Really Matter" belongs to Janet Jackson and some record company.
If anything as
wonderful
as the HP characters belonged to me, I wouldn’t be sitting in front of
the computer for hours at a
time.
Doesn't Really Matter
by
Destiny
She walks past
me on the way out of Potions. I start to form a sneer, the sneer I hide
my feelings behind, but I stop when a paper flutters from her hand down
to my desk. It’s a letter. For me.
Dear Draco, it says.
I can’t stand this anymore. I can’t stand the secrecy. I have to tell you what I’ve been hiding. I don’t really care anymore if you spread this around the school, call me names, or jeer at me for the rest of our time here. I have to get this off my chest. I love you.
Meet me
in the Astronomy Tower now, if you feel the same way I do.
Doesn’t
matter what your friends are telling you
Doesn’t
matter what my family’s saying too
It just
matters that I’m in love with you
It only
matters that you love me too
I race out of the dungeons and down the corridor. People look at me strangely along the way. Is that Malfoy? I hear them ask. I ignore the burning stares, and run straight to the Tower. I had been overcome by a compulsion, I had to get there soon….
I speed up the stairs, and there she is, standing there. Hermione. Our eyes lock, and she rushes into my arms. And everything seems perfect.
"How can this ever work?" she whispers. I squeeze her hand gently.
"How can it not?" I murmur. She looks up at me, her eyes glistening with tears.
"But…your father…he would never…" she stutters. I put my pale hand up to her face, that gorgeous face.
"I don’t care
what he thinks."
It doesn’t
matter if they won’t accept you
I’m accepting
of you and the things you do
Just as
long as it’s you
Nobody
but you, baby, baby
We sit there,
in the Tower, together, talking. Talking about the prejudices that held
us both back from each other, about the injustice of it all. But also that
we would always be there for each other.
My love
for you, unconditional love too
Gotta get
up, get up, get up, get up, get up
And show
you that it…
Doesn’t
really matter what the eye is seeing
Cause I’m
in love with the inner being
And it
doesn’t really matter what they believe
What matters
to me is you’re in love with me
Doesn’t
really matter what the eye is seeing
Cause I’m
in love with the inner being
And it
doesn’t really matter what they believe
What matters
to me is you’re nutty-nutty-nutty for me
Hermione tells
me her thoughts about my character and why I act so cold all the time.
At first I am shocked, but then it dawns on me that she is right. Completely
and totally correct. But of course she is correct. She’s Hermione.
(You’re
so kind)
Just what
I asked for, you’re so loving and kind
(And you’re
mine)
And I can’t
believe you’re mine
She lays her
head on my chest. I stare at her in wonder, my eyes taking in her whole
being. How did a girl as amazing as this fall in love with me? Compared
to her, the angel that she is, I’m nothing. But instead of doubting, I
am just thankful.
Doesn’t
matter if you’re feeling insecure
Doesn’t
matter if you’re feeling so unsure
Cause I’ll
take away the doubt within your heart
And show
that my love will never hurt or harm
"But we can never tell anyone about this. And in some years, you’ll have to get married, have an heir. Then you’ll have to leave me. I don’t know if I can deal with that," Hermione says worriedly. I smile softly. I have smiled more in the past hour than in the past year.
"I’ll never
leave you, Hermione. Never."
Doesn’t
matter what the pain we go through
Doesn’t
matter if the money’s gone too
Just as
long as I’m with you
Nobody
but you, baby, baby
"Hermione…" I begin, staring at her, at her face, which is so much more beautiful than any stars I would ever see from this room.
"Yes?" I sigh deeply. I have never said these words to anyone before.
"Hermione,
I love you."
Your love
for me, unconditional I see
Gotta get
up, get up, get up, get up, get up
And show
you that it…
Doesn’t
really matter what the eye is seeing
Cause I’m
in love with the inner being
And it
doesn’t really matter what they believe
What matters
to me is you’re in love with me
Doesn’t
really matter what the eye is seeing
Cause I’m
in love with the inner being
And it
doesn’t really matter what they believe
What matters
to me is you’re nutty-nutty-nutty for me
She gasps,
knowing the full impact of what I have just uttered. Her mouth moves a
little, but she seems at a loss for words. I am also at a loss for words,
but not a loss for what I should do. I lean closer, and place my lips on
hers. And now, everything is definitely perfect.
Nutty-nutty-nutty
my love for you
I can’t
believe my dreams come true
I’ve finally
found somebody whose heart is true
And best
of all you love me too
"What now?" she asks.
"Now?" I reply,
hugging her to me. "It doesn’t matter what we do now. All that matters
is that we’re together."
A/N: Yes, another
author’s note. I am so sorry. I really don’t think this turned out as well
as I wanted it to.
::cringes::
Don’t hurt me! I can’t write romance! I can’t write sappy endings well!
I’m sorry! If you want a good
love story,
read Draco Dormiens! ::sighs:: Try to be kind in the reviews. At least
some constructive criticism.
Thanks for
reading, everyone.
