"Because he broke your heart, darling. Something like that doesn't go away overnight."
"But he didn't break my heart, Mum. He told me he loved me..."
Gracie sighed, her thoughts on what had happened between the two, completely wrong and looked up at the pale green roof, before an idea came to mind, "Do you know what makes me feel better?"
Hartley nodded slowly, and turned her head so she was looking up at her aunt, "You sing."
The songstress nodded too, with a sad smile, "And we're related. So why don't you try for me?"
The witch thought about for a few seconds and looked back into the eyes of the blonde, "Okay."
Gracelyn stroked Harry's hair, "Whenever you're ready, Isabelle."
A small smile flashed across the Mistress's face, before,
"~I'd tell myself you don't mean a thing
But what we got, got no hold on me~"
The witch shook her head slightly, her voice was soothing but rough from her tears,
"~But when you're not there I just crumble
I tell myself that I don't care that much
But I feel like I'm dying till I feel your touch~"
Gracie drew her fingers across Hartley's face and sang,
"~Only love, only love can hurt like this
Only love can hurt like this
Must have been a deadly kiss
Only love can hurt like this~"
Harry bit her lip and sighed heavily,
"~Say I wouldn't care if you walked away
But every time you're there I'm begging you to stay
When you come close I just tremble~"
She closed her eyes and brushed away a tear,
"~And every time, every time you go
It's like a knife that cuts right through my soul~"
Gracelyn sang again,
"~Only love, only love can hurt like this
Only love can hurt like this
Must have been a deadly kiss
Only love can hurt like this
Only love can hurt like this~
The blonde continued,
"~Your kisses burning to my skin
Only love can hurt like this~"
An almost desperate look settled on Harry's face,
"~But if the sweetest pain
Burning hot through my veins
Love is torture makes me more sure~"
The songstress sang,
"~Only love can hurt like this
Only love can hurt like this
Only love can hurt like this
Must have been the deadly kiss~"
Hartley sighed,
"~Only love can hurt like this
Only love can hurt like this
Your kisses burning to my skin~"
The older of the two's voice threaded with sympathy,
"~Only love can hurt like this
Only love can hurt like this~"
The Mistress sang, her tone now sad,
"~Save me, save me
Only love, only love~"
They both finished together,
"~'Cause only love can hurt like this
And it must have been the deadly kiss~"

"He only loves me because he's grateful. Grateful I gave him magic. That's the only reason, Mum." Harry sobbed into Gracelyn's lap.
"No honey. I can see the way he looks at you. Like you mean everything in the world to him. Like he wouldn't be able to continue living if you left him."
The Mistress shook her head, "No. I still love George. It hurts. I feel so trapped..."
"i know what you're saying, Pup," a voice said that had been sorely missed.
The two looked up to the wall to see a young looking man with a twinkle in his silvery grey eyes.
Harry smiled through her tears, "Sirius..."
