A/N: this is written during Order of The Phoenix. Cedric Diggory never died, he's in the same year as Harry and everyone and instead of them being 15 they're 17.

Amy loved to perform. Before coming to Hogwarts she had taken dance lessons in tap, modern, ballet, jazz and street dance as well as a few singing lessons. She'd loved her dance lessons, but she'd found the singing lessons too strict, she just liked to sing whatever she felt like at that moment, so she quit and sung as she pleased.

Now she was in her 7th year at Hogwarts and although she missed her dance lessons, she was still dancing in her free time or whenever her emotions were running high and she needed to express herself through song and dance. She never let anyone see or hear her, afraid that they would laugh, especially as she used muggle music! She thought the Weird Sisters were just...weird! She loved Beyoncé, Trey Songz, Rihanna, Taio Cruz and Tinchy Stryder, artists that her emo friends back home called "chav" but who cared when they had songs that were so good to dance to?

Amy sighed and looked at the clock again. It was 3:30am and she couldn't sleep. They'd only been back 4 weeks and she'd already seen her "boyfriend" Cedric Diggory with Cho Chang. The girl hated Amy. Cedric had told Cho that Amy was a shit, worthless girlfriend and now Cho was frequently telling anybody who'd listen about what Amy was REALLY like. According to Cho she slept with anyone who'd have her, she was a rubbish girlfriend and that boys didn't go for her for her looks. After all she had none. They went for her because she was easy. She looked and acted it. According to Cho.

Amy could feel her anger at the girl building up, but she soon realised that this wasn't healthy and she shouldn't be getting heated up about someone as obviously emotionally unstable as Cho, but her anger only turned to sadness. After all there's only so much back stabbing a girl can take in one month.

As the tears threatened to overspill, she realised she needed one of her dance sessions, so quietly dressing in her red halter-neck leotard and black sweats which she rolled up to the knees, she gathered her ipod and loud speakers and left the Gryffindor girls dormitory.

She warily walked around each corner, keeping a look out for anyone. She had never come across anyone yet, but she was always on her guard. However she didn't notice someone else who was on their guard. A shadow detached itself from the wall a few metres behind her and padded silently after her.

Amy shivered as she neared the Great Hall. She felt she was being watched and as she reached the halls main entrance she looked around to make sure no-one would see her going in. Unfortunately, it's hard to see black on black and she failed to notice the person standing to her right.

She quietly opened the door and as it was swinging shut, the shadow slipped through it and hid among the tables around the edge of the hall.

Amy switched on the lights and having checked the door was firmly shut, she turned on her battery run loudspeakers and ipod.

Normally Amy could cope with someone like Cho, but she couldn't cope when Cedric was cheating on her. With Cho. Yesterday morning when she had broached the subject with him, he'd shoved her against the wall, his large hands gripping her slim upper arms so hard that she had bruises there now.

"You will stay as my girlfriend until I choose otherwise, or you'll end up in St Mungo's with more than bruises on your arms and I'll tell everyone about your little dancing dream, then the wizarding world will laugh at you" he had hissed at her maliciously before releasing her and walking away as she stood there in shock.

At the memory she unconsciously crossed her arms over her body and used her hands to cover the bruises there. Her hands weren't big enough to cover then completely but she felt better when they were covered and she stood there a moment, shoulders curved in as though she was protecting herself.

She suddenly moved and as usual, she put on music that reflected her mood.

Selecting "Can't Help But Wait" by Trey Songz she free-styled to the sad song. She used modern, jazz and street moves, creating her own dance that expressed her emotions.

She rolled her hips and shoulders, slid to the floor in the splits, flicked her long, dark brown hair so that it fanned around her beautifully, did hundreds of pirouettes and jumps, feeling better as she let her emotions out, but worse at the same time. She imagined some mysterious boy would come along and make her get over Cedric. That he'd tell her she wasn't worthless and make everything right again.

She didn't notice the head stuck out between the tables watching her petite figure as she lost herself in the dance. At 5ft 4 and a size 8, she had a curvy figure most girls envied.

Towards the end of the song, she burst out in time with the Trey "Baby girl you are a star" in her sweet voice, her dance stopped and she stood there a few seconds before sinking to her knees, her head in her hands as tears leaked through her fingers.

She didn't notice a tall figure with blonde hair sneak out, back through the door.

A/N: Sorry not much Draco action here...he does come into it later I promise. And you've probably guessed that he's the one watching her. Please review and rate and everything. I'm not used to writing stories yet so any advice anyone has would be gladly accepted 
