Music Under the Spotlight (Lumity Band Au)

Witch magic

Luz POV:

The two of us stayed a little after the sun set, both of us becoming entranced by the stars that slowly appeared in the sky. Everything was calm, the air around us almost frozen in time. I gave Amity's shoulder a squeeze, watching as she brought her hands up to rub her eyes. 

I couldn't help but chuckle. "C'mon Ammy, it's too early to be tired. The sun's just set! Besides, you've been in show's that have run later." She mumbled something, carefully nuzzling closer to me. 

"But it's all so relaxing..." She told me, her voice now loud enough for me to hear. I let out a little chuckle, swiping at some of the light spells to put them out. Amity picked her head up off my shoulder, watching me put out the spells for a moment. 

"If that's the case, we should get going then. Don't want you to fall asleep then fall out of the tree." Carefully standing up, I wiped away the last few spells that remained, our only light now coming from the moon. 

"Good idea." Amity said, staring out at the moon for a moment. I held out a hand to help her up, which she gladly took. Pulling her up on her feet, I gave her a quick kiss on the forehead, making her smile. Then, she drew out a spell that would slowly float us down to the ground. 

We barely stepped off the branch and started floating down, and in front of me I watched as a few petals floated down with us. "Y'know... we're kinda like the petals right now." I said, clasping my hands behind my back. 

"Yeah." Amity said, her eyes following the petals as well. My brain suddenly lit up with an idea, a small smirk rising to my lips. 

"And you know what petals do while they float to the ground?" I asked the witch, watching as she turned her head to face me. Her eyebrows bunched together in confusion for a moment as she tilted her head. 

"They what?" She asked back, a slight bit of hesitance in her voice. I put on a big smile, grabbing her by both the hands, taking her by a bit of surprise. 

"They dance!" I exclaimed, making the witch squeak. She quickly shook her head, her ears pinned down. "C'mon Amity!"

"Luz, I'm gonna lose focus and we'll fall!" She hissed, sticking to a stiff position so that I wouldn't be able to move her. "Besides, even if I could stay focused, we wouldn't have enough time for a dance."

"We'd have enough time for a waltz!" I argued, making Amity smile and softly shake her head. Not long after, I could feel my feet gently touch the floor. 

Amity was quick to take my hand in her's, almost taking me by surprise. "Whatever you say you dork. Now c'mon, let's get going to the owl house, being out this close to the woods won't end well if we're unlucky." 

"True." I mumbled, giving her hand a squeeze before we started heading towards the direction of the owl house. "Lucky for us though, the owl house isn't too far from here!" Amity nodded her head, giving my hand a squeeze back. 

We hadn't walked too far from the tree when both of us froze, a rustling sound from the bushes making us stop in our tracks. I turned towards Amity, who's ears were pinned down as she glanced back towards the bushes. "Luz, we gotta go. Now." 

I held up a hand, motioning for her to be quiet. Slowly reaching for my notebook in my back pocket, pulling it out and bringing it in front of me. I was quick to scribble out a fire glyph, tearing the paper out of the notebook before passing the rest of the papers to Amity. 

Moving a little closer to the bush, Amity instantly grabbed my wrist, pulling me back. "Luz back up!" She hissed at me, her voice no louder than a whisper. I carefully pulled my hand away, tapping the spell to activate it.
