Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in the moment this order's tall
I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different kind
'Cause I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines
Come on skinny love what happened here
Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split
I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
Now all your love is wasted?
Then who the hell was I?
Now I'm breaking at the bridges
And at the end of all your lines
Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?
Come on skinny love
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

The slow song came to an end, as did our kiss. I looked up at George and saw him grinning, so I grinned back up at him. We had a wordless conversation for awhile, just looks and smiles. Suddenly, a more upbeat song came on.

One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock rock
Five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock rock.
Nine, ten, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock rock
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight.
Put your glad rags on and join me hon'
We'll have some fun when the clock strikes one.
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'till broad daylight
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight.
When the clock strikes two, three and four
If the band slows down we'll yell for more.
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'till broad daylight
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight.

When the chimes ring five, six, and seven
We'll be right in seventh heaven.
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'till broad daylight
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight.
When it's eight, nine, ten, eleven too
I'll be goin' strong and so will you.
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'till broad daylight
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight.
When the clock strikes twelve we'll cool off then
Start rockin' 'round the clock again.
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'till broad daylight
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight.

George and I finished our jive with flourish, and then retreated to the refreshment table and grabbed some chocolate frogs to consume at a nearby table. We flopped down on the seats and were joined a few minutes later by Bella Black and Ros Parkinson from the train at the beginning of the year.

"Hello!" Said Bella brightly. "I've come with Ben Smith, a Hufflepuff. I don't know where he is- Oh, over there at the refreshments table." She rolled her eyes. "Honestly! I swear all he does is eat!"

"I know him." George nodded. "He's in my herboligy class. Nice, but obsessed with food! I think he's worse than my brother Ron!"

Ros laughed. "Yeah. Things haven't been great for me, since I have a sister like Prunella. I'm lucky I have Bella though." The two smiled at each other.

"Yeah, things have been...is interesting the right word? I've just had a lot of stuff going on with George's twin and your sister, Ros. And my friends as well. Most of it's resolved now, though." I said.

"I can't say I have friend drama." Cut in George. "But I have got sibling drama."

"Ugh, you and me both." groaned Ros. "Prunellas just so annoying!"

The rest of the night passed quickly. Soon I was saying good night to George and heading back up to the girls dorms with a huge smile on my face.

"Why you so happy?" Laughed Angel, who was already sitting on her bed with a red face scrubbed free of make up and in her pyjamas.

"Oh, just stuff.." I sighed.

"Like...?" Angel enquired.

"Like your first kiss..." I said happily. Angel squealed. "Omg!!! Yay!!!"

I laughed. "Yeah..."
