Mikael shrugged, "It goes with the song though, right?" He wrote that next part down said, "Ok for the chorus how about, Oh oh oh, when we were young, when every day was how we dreamed, oh oh oh, when we were young, and everything was how it seemed. Never knowing the cost of what we payed letting someone else be strong, oh oh oh, when we were young. Like?"
Mikael stretched, he had been really busy helping out a few others in his year and hadn't had a lot of time to himself.

"Ja, und then maybe something like In a moment of grace, a long leap of faith, there's still more glorious dawn awaits my life. I'm here with the lovers," she suggested.
She leaned over slightly to better see what they had written and started humming a few bars of what would be a potential instrumental backing for the lyrics. She was good at instrumentals; they were her comfort zone. She only hoped that she wasn't totally sucking at thinking up lyrics.

"And we burned the bridges were crossing over, just to see the firelight and then the innocent are getting over being old tonight." Mikael suggested writing down her part, "Then a chorus repeat?"
He tried not to flinch when she moved closer to look at the words but he ended up writing a word wrong and had to scratch it out and write it again.

Eliza frowned and moved away from him to avoid making him uncomfortable before nodding.
"J-ja...that sounds good," she mumbled. "Give me a second to think something up."
She looked down and began tugging at the grass by her feet, upset with herself and partially waiting for him to just get up and leave. He really disliked her, didn't he...? Hufflepuffs were supposed to be nice; that's probably all the attempts to befriend her amounted to. She wasn't sure if she even wanted to stay, herself. Maybe she'd go back up to the school, since she made him uncomfortable...

Mikael felt bad, he didn't mean to make her move away. He just wanted to talk to her, she looked like she needed it too. Everyone needed someone to talk to at some point, and right now he wanted to talk to her. It was the urge most people get when they know they need to talk but they don't trust some people with their secrets.
"Kay.." he said looking down writing in the margins of the parchment, Talk to her! and Quit being a baby! Just because your the baby of your family doesn't mean anything!!

"Uh, hey, Mikael," she mumbled. "I...I know I'm not the prettiest girl around and I'm kinda pushy...you don't have to hang around me if you don't want to..."
She continued to tear at the grass and bit her lower lip. Well, it was at least out in the open. Now, he would walk away, and she'd gt over liking him and life could go on. She was sure of it. Because who would waste their time hanging out with an insecure, overly-reckless Prussian woman-child? Nobody? Exactly.

"What? No, no, if I made you think that I didn't want to be here I'm sorry." Mikael said putting his hands up in surrender. He didn't want her to think that he didn't want to be there.
He quickly scratched out what he'd been writing, just in case she'd look over again. He didn't know what to say or do, he was half tempted to play her a song a few of his friends and him had written over the summer last year but he didn't know how she'd respond to it.

She just shrugged and continued to tear at the grass. She'd have to move to a new patch, soon; the one she was plucking at was getting thin.
"It's okay," she insisted. "I kind of didn't give you any choice in hanging out with me, und I'm sorry for that..."
She sighed softly and moved on to a new patch of grass. Hers had run out; the pile of beheaded blades of grass sitting in front of her was proof. She felt kind of bad for the grass, but she didn't want to look him in the eye at the moment.

"Actually sit there for a second, I wanna do something.." Mikael said readjusting his guitar. Might as well play it before she got up to leave.
He started playing the begining, I'm broken, Do you hear me? I'm blinded, Cause you are everything I see. I'm dancin' alone, I'm prayin', That your heart will just turn around. And as I walk up to your door, My head turns to face the floor, Cause I can't look you in the eyes and say, When he opens his arms and holds you close tonight, It just won't feel right, Cause I can love you more than this. Yeah, When he lays you down, I might just die inside, I just don't feel right, Cause I can love your more than this, Can loe you more than this.. He finished the first part and kept playing till it was time for the next part. He sounded nothing like his friends who sung the first part but he did sound pretty good.

She looked up at him when he started playing. When he began singing, she glanced around to see who he was singing for. She didn't see anyone and realized that it had to be for her. She hadn't even realized that he knew she was alive before today; he'd rarely spoken to her of his own volition in previous school years...
She stared at him wide-eyed as she processed the lyrics and looked down to hide the blush that flashed across herself. She wasn't a generally shy person, but things like this drained the confidence from her. Guys were usually not this sweet to her.

If I'm louder, Would you see me? Would you lay down, In my arms and rescue me? Cause we are, The same, You saved me, And when you leave its gone again. And then I see you on the street, In his arms I get weak, My body fails, I'm on my knees, Prayin'! When he opens his arms And holds you close tonight, It just won't feel right, Cause I can love you more than this. Yeah, When he lays you down, I might just die inside, It just don't feel right, Cause I love you more than this. Mikael kept singing, and looked right at her. He wanted her to know it was for her, and that he meant it.

She felt his eyes on her and let her eyes flick up to meet them. She wasn't the type that bared her entire soul for anyone, not even Esperanza or Vash. It didn't and never had come to her naturally. She wasn't sure how she was supposed to act in this situation because, even though she'd had boyfriends, she'd never been in it. Was she supposed to be shy and meek or run off? Both options seemed kind of over-dramatic...
'Just what the hell are you trying to do to me, Mikael?' she wondered.
She would find out once the song was over, she guessed. In the meantime, she'd go along with it. She liked him, after all.

I've never had the words to say, But now I'm askin' you to stay, For a little while inside my arms. And as you close your eyes tonight, I pray that you will see the light, That's shinin' from the stars above, And I'll say, When he opens his arms, And holds you close tonight, It just don't feel right. Cause I can love you more than this.. Mikael finished and strummed the last note. It all would've sounded better had his friends been there but they were muggles and he didn't know what they'd think if he told them he was a Wizard. "So, what do you think? Did you like it?"

Instantly, she internally recoiled. So the song hadn't been for her, after all. He'd just wanted her opinion. Hn. It was a good thing that she didn't bother to open up to him; that would've ended badly. So she pushed back all of the feelings that had come up and plastered a big, fake smile across her face. He just wanted her opinion, so that's all she'd give him...well, the censored version of her opinion.
"It was great! You're a terrific lyricist," she replied half-honestly.
She tried really hard to hide her own hurt feelings. It was clear that he didn't actually care. Why waste time and bore him?

Mikael kind of frowned, all she thought was that he was a good lyricist? He sighed, he should've known a song wasn't going to work on her, she was older, more sophicticated than he was and she showed it.
"That's it? I was hoping for something more..." he sighed, "You know I have a problem, there's this girl I like but she's older than me and I don't know how to tell her I like her. Any tips?"
