Faith's POV

With great caution, I peered out from behind the heavy, wooden door. Adrenaline pumped through my veins as excited gasps of breath left my mouth. My lips peeled into a happy, yet playfully, evil grin as I watched the muscles in my prey's back ripple from moving side to side at it's spot. Blotches of white met my eyes as their silk shirt caught the luminescent glow from the wax candles. Everywhere else was dark and cold, creating an angelic halo around my soon to be victim. Haunting music filled my sensitive ears.

Cautiously, I crept out from behind the door, closing it behind me. Not even the slightest rustle could alarm the prey from their concentration. Slow and catlike steps, on blood red, plush carpet, I soundlessly moved toward the angelic glow. Flinching at it's every out-of-character move, I hid behind furniture.

Almost there.

Only four feet away now.

Steady breathing and piano keys dancing.

Three feet away.

Rustles of silk and cotton clothing.

Two feet.

Muffled clangs from inside the musical instrument.

One.

Deep breath.

"OHHHHHHHHHHH!
Happy Hogwarts birthday!
Magic wizard birthday!
Fun wizard happy birthday
Fun fun fun fun!"

Erik's shrill, feminine, scream of surprise echoed throughout the music room as his balance was lost. His back came towards my field of vision, and I quickly hopped out of the way, my hands still banging on my tambourine.

"Magic flavour birthday cake!
Wizard wishes you will make!
Happy birthday dance with everyone!
2 3 4
Birthday magic wand!"

Dancing around the piano like a gypsy, I ignored the frantic pants and deadly glares the back of my head was receiving.

"Party happy birthday
Wizard party school
Magic magic wizard magic party
Gryffindor
Party more!
Hufflepuff
Wizard stuff!
Ravenclaw
Hell naw!
Pretty sure that's everybody
Happy Hogwarts birthday!
Wizard school party!
Children eating cake inside their mouths!"

I aggressively spun and jumped over one of the plush chairs, landing in a ninja roll. Quickly, I got up and continued prancing around.
