#3. Blossom sounds
Battered suitcase and precious violin in tow, the beautiful red-head walks past the town sign. However, the lovely silence she has expected to find in the small village was unharmoniously disrupted by thousands of people crawling on the market square. Naturally, ever the curiously excited woman, she moved a little closer to the stage.
Wow this place is crowded. She thinks and watches the many different people around her. Some look like they had been camping on the square for several days – eyes bloodshed and tired – others brought their entire families, some resembled important business man from very big cities – clad in expensive looking suits and ties – and last but not least, Lily spotted people just like her – holding on tightly to their instruments and probably hoping to find the passion for music they had lost in the busy every-day life.
Soon the square starts to crowd even more and once the first lights on the stage lit on, everyone starts cheering.
The people in town call him Sirius Black – and apparently every single woman is trying to get his attention since he is considered to be the most eligible bachelor in town. For a moment, Lily almost giggles at the fan-girl attitude some of them show – there is even one of the who just climbed the stage and got arrested by security.
Then, the first tunes of a guitar is heard, and the red-head closes her eyes – listening to the wonderful sound.
Once the first song was played, the songwriter himself finally steps on the stage – and Lily takes a deep breath. Now she knows why all the girls are freaking out about him – he does look dashingly handsome!
With his faded jeans and laid-back charm he sure seems to be a million miles away from the sharp-suited businessmen of London… Nevertheless, his warm chocolate eyes most definitely put the harmony back into her soul!
He moves gracefully on stage; his curly brown hair is securely wrapped into a messy man-bun, his delicate fingers move swiftly and elegant over the strings, creating a magical melody everyone is enchanted by.
To her own surprise, a beam of light suddenly flashes right at her. The speaker announces that a person from the audience has been chosen to play right alongside the famous musician. For a moment, Lily is stunned and cannot move – that is until the cheering girls around her push her towards the stage, lift her up until she's standing face to face with Sirius Black.
He smiles at her – and his stunning grey eyes are sparkling mischievously at her. Then he points at her violin, shows her his notes and asks her to play along with him.
At first, Lily is hesitant, but soon, the rhythm of the music catches on and together they play as if they have done it for years. The crowd cheers, doesn't want them to stop.
Eventually, they get a small break. The curtain so softly and wonderful like blossoms from a tree. Sirius turns of his microphone and once again flashes her one of his amazing smiles.
He compliments her – on her music, her talent, and her beauty. It makes her blush, but she enjoys it. Then, without a warning, he steps closer to her, encircles her waist with one of his strong arms, pulls her closer and kisses her passionately.
The blood rushes through Lily's veins, and she presses her body closer to the musician, then lays her arms around his neck.
Once they ran out of oxygen, they separate, though don't let go of each others hands. Lily's cheeks show a faint rosy blush, and the rockstars' grey eyes are twinkling madly.
The curtains opens again – and without words spoken, the continue to play. They stand close together, the fabrics of their clothes almost touching. When the last tunes of the last song fades, Sirius again pulls her close and kisses her – right then and there on the stage – and the crowd goes wild.
