I walked down the corridors with Draco, he was chuckling at my stumbling form “Sky? How much Butterbeer have you had?” He asked slipping his arm over my shoulder, “A few, I dunno” I replied shrugging, “You look beautiful tonight” He said I smiled and pecked his cheek, “Thanks” I was sporting a strapless dark blue gown the was short cut at the front but lengthened out at the back gradually sweeping the ground.
We sat down on one of the walls of the castles indents, looking out the window. “I thought you said you wouldn’t be attending Slughorns do” He said putting his head on my shoulder, “I needed to get out, and plus Slughorn said he’d help me with potions a bit more if I sang, which I haven’t done yet” I stated looking out into the stars. He turned me to look at him, “Sing?” He said raising his eyebrows, which was quite cute. “Yup, which if you open your locket you could probably hear.” I said raising my eyebrows tapping my locket. “Okay then” he opened his locket and I opened mine, he stood up and extended his arm which I took, feeling a lot more sober now that I could walk straight. He linked my arm in his and walked me back to the party, I pecked him quickly on the lips and walked back into the party, looked back and seen his shadowed figure making his way down the halls and disappearing.
“Ahhh, Miss Autumn I believe you agreed us to a song.” He said and I nodded and Alexis patted my back, and I sat at the muggle piano that someone had conjured up. I placed my hands on the keys and whispered into my locket quickly before the sound catcher was placed “Here we go” (I thought the song would fit the story, the raps are sang in the story and shortend)
“Oh if you could see me now,
it was febraury 14th valentines day,
the roses came but they took you away,
tatooed on my arm is a charm to disarm all the harm,
Gotta keep myself calm but the truth is your gone,
There are days when Im losing my faith,
Because the man wasn’t good he was great,
He’d say music is a home for your pain,
And explain, I was young he would say.”
As I sang I thought about growing up with my Dad and all our memories together.
“Take that rage,
Put it on a page,
Take the page to the stage,
Blow the roof of the page”
I smiled as I remembered the day he had hidden a baby dragon in our shed and it had a cold, setting the whole thing alight.
“I still look for your face in the crowd,oh if you could see me now,
would you stand in disgrace or take a bow,
oh if you could see me now,
oh if you could see me now.”
I looked into the crowd as I sang, Alexis was welling up but clapping, I swear I seen Harry Potter’s arm trying to sneak it’s way around her waist.
“If you could see me now would you recognise me,
would you pat me on the back or criticise me,
would you follow every line on my tear stained face,
Put your hand on a heart that’s as cold as the day you were taken away.”
The quick image of my fathers dead body flashed through my eyes, with a tear rolling down my cheek, I continued.
“I still look for your face in the crowd,
oh if you could see me now,
oh if you could see me now,
would you stand in disgrace or take a bow,
oh if you could see me now,
oh.. oh,
Would you call me a saint or a sinner?
Would you love me as a loser or a winner?
Oh..oh,
When I see my face in the mirror,
We look so alike it makes me shiver.”
Flashing back I remember walking down the street with my Dad, all those old witches coming up to us and saying how alike we both look. Him saying I was more like my mother who would be stood behind us, with the ladies and her disagreeing.
“I still look for your face in the crowd,
oh if you could see me now,
oh if you could see me now,
would you stand in disgrace or take a bow,
oh if you could see me now, oh if you can see me now”
I sang smiling, “Oh.... but you can’t see me now....”
I looked at my wrist seeing the little bracelet my Dad got me when I was a little girl, with little silver and purple roses on it, the same colour as his funeral.
People started claping and I took a bow and walked off stage and hugged Alexis, they put the magical record player on.
***Tuesday the week after ***
After a long journey from Hogwarts, and an even longer goodbye to Draco at the train-station, I had finally arrived back at Kingscross. I seen my Mother and we walked off together, pushing my trunk and shoving it in the car, Alexis will be joining us on Christmas day with her parents.
The things we talked about on the train were hilarious, until Neville Longbottom lost that blasted toad, Trevor, of his again for about the billionth time!
It’s Christmas a week today, myself and Draco agreed to send each others presents by floo powder at miday on Christmas day, I cant wait to see him again, we are heading back to Hogwarts for New Years. Except Draco doesn’t know that yet.
Oh and Alexis is still to tell me about her date with Potter, don’t tell her, but myself and Draco tricked her into thinking it was his birthday, she was fuming when we told her on the Sunday, but all was forgiven.
Sitting in the car, me and Mum had a bizarre talk about Gnomes, appearently she left washing out one night and in the morning they had gone, little bliters. “Anything exciting happen Sky?” she asked and I replied “Not really, just boring school stuff” she chuckled. “So nothing happend between you and Draco, hmmmm, well if you don’t want to tell me I hope you were saf-” I cut her off “ OH MY MERLIN MUM! We did not have sex and no I DONT NEED the sex talk... again!” she laughed, “I know honey, I trust you just making sure” I huffed “Well nothing’s happend so can we please change the subject?”
I closed my eyes, “Skylar? Skylar? Skylar” I heard, “Dad?” I said, “Im here honey” tears streamed down my face, he started getting further away “DAD! DAD!” I screamed and then was shaken awake, “Shhh it okay honey, it’s okay” my Mum cradled me in her arms, “I seen him” I said shaking, “I know” I calmed and started humming..... “If only you could see me now....”
A/N: Well, that was eventful. Can I just say? STUPID NE GETTING DRACOS BIRTHDAY WRONG! dosey girl!
Love, Em x
