"Stars shining bright aboveee you

Night breezes seem to whisper I love you"

I'm walking down a narrow and very long hallway, following the faint vocals from a song I can hear coming from a room at the end of the hallway.

I can't quite recognize the song but it sounds so familiar. I feel like I know this song very well.

I lightly tread my feet a little faster to the door with the muffled music coming from behind it. I grab the doorknob slowly, turning the handle and opening the door to a poorly lit room with the only light source being from a giant spotlight in the center of the room as the song continues to play, engulfing the room with the elegant vocals now. The music is blaring but honestly it's quite soothing.

As the song continues I begin to recognize exactly where I am, an empty ballroom. I've been here before, everything about this feels eerily familiar. The song that seems to keep playing on a continuous loop, the ballroom, the wooden flooring, even the apparel I seem to be wearing, a nice tailored black and white tux that fits me perfectly. I scan the room to see empty circular tables all around the room with what looks like expensive white cloths covering every chair and table. On top of the tables are fine china wear as well as these enormous flower centerpieces that truly take your breath away.

"Hello? Anyone here?" I called out to see if I would get a response, however I came to the conclusion I am completely alone after about thirty seconds of dead silence, the only sound being the song still playing.

"While i'm alone and blue as can be

Dream a little dream of me"

I scan the dance floor before my attention is grabbed by the beam of light shining directly in the middle of the floor. Before I even realize it I'm walking towards the middle like I'm in a trance and stop directly under the spotlight. I looked up to find the source of the light to see if maybe someone was controlling the spotlight but that failed since I could barely see anything since the light was so damn bright.

The crisp and elegant vocals continue to mollify me to the point where I begin to sway to the beautiful voice and classic piano keys that flow during the song. Before I even know it I'm beginning to dance in the spotlight by myself to the classical tune.

"Harrryyyyy" I hear an enchanting voice call to me making me stop in my place. I turn my body in the direction of the voice to only see nothing, just me alone in this ballroom.

I slowly turn back around and begin dancing once again, until I feel a small hand on my shoulder and the voice once again.

"Harry, are you here to dance with me?" a woman's voice, it continues to coo causing my body to straighten and go absolutely rigid.

"Is that why I'm here?" I ask the ominous woman who I still have yet to see.

"This is your dream Harry, you should know why you're here." Was all she said to me in the most soothing tone
