Part 6) Accidents happen

Harry pushed through the dance-floor, making his way though groups of wildly dressed teens. There were fairies, vampires, dragons, hula-dancers, people dressed in shorts and underwear for some reason, there were muggle characters he recognised and even sexy-owls. (Merlin knows).

The music thrummed loudly and Harry's vision swam. He made his way to a wall where he could edge round to find Hermione and Blaise. He knew they'd be there. Hermione only danced with Pansy and Harry knew Pansy was dancing with Luna then. Blaise wasn't one for crowds, he had claustrophobia and hated being crammed into a small spaces. Though, when he was around his friends, it seemed to ease up.

Harry saw the bright calaca shimmer under the coloured lights and moved quickly towards the two figures.

"Have you seen-"

Hermione and Blaise both had a look of distaste. Harry followed Hermione's gaze. Over on the dance-floor, in amongst the euphoric teens, was Pansy. She was dancing, carelessly, with Luna, who was dressed in bright green, she looked like the nymphs but with armour-like shell coating her fore-arms, calves, chest and waist.

Blaise's eye-line didn't stray much further. He was looking slightly to the left of Pansy and Luna. Where Ron, Seamus and Dean were dancing happily to The Rolling Stones. Harry watched them for a moment, the three were clearly buzzed. The drinks stand had enough alcohol to slosh a fully grown dragon.

And then he saw it. Long pink hair running through sharp blue nails. A rosy cheeked sixth year, his swaying boyfriend and four seventh year girls.

The music continued to play and the drunken singing grew louder.

I see people turn their heads and quickly look away.

Harry blinked slowly, tripping his way through the dancing figures. The pounding hearts and sweaty faces. His head tilted forward as a wave of... something crashed over him. It was strange. Like a blur to his mind.

I look inside myself and see my heart is black.

He pushed forward, trying to ignore the pounding in his head as the blur returned.

Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts.

Once he had reached the group three of the girls have him harsh looks, along with Orpheus, one of them stayed rather neutral. Harry rolled his eyes and smiled at Draco (who was still absolutely killing the pink hair.)

It's not easy, facing up, when your whole world is black.

"You-" a dull throb overtook him "you disappeared."

Draco looked down, "Sorry, I know."

"It's okay, but i think your blue ice is melting."

Draco looked up again and smiled.

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue.
I could not foresee this thing happening to you.

Harry dropped un-gracefully onto one of the sofas. The party had died down slightly, some teens were tired and had gone to bed. It made no difference to the level of noise; only to the amount of people shoving their way through the room.

Draco sat carefully next to him.

Three of the four girls edged there way behind Draco as nymph-girl had stayed close to Orpheus. The girls were wearing wildly different outfits but seemed to all be co-ordinated.

One wore a dark blue blouse and black jeans. Her hair was in a slick, brown ponytail and she wore thick black glasses on her pale face. She sported navy eyeshadow, purple highlights and had dark-brown eyes and the phrase "listen to the facts." were painted in white on her cheek.
