Nobody Knows It But Me

Wish I told her how I feel,
Maybe she'd be here right now
but instead...

As they stumbled across the land, sudden bursts of energy tearing away at them, Ginny spotted movement out of the corner of her eye. But when she turned back to inspect it, there was nothing in sight moving, not even the palm trees that towered over them. Draco and Ron were kissing the sand and Harry was praising the heavens. Hermione was still in the boat but she was trying to get out, excited at the prospect of land. Ginny ran back over to her and pulled her out of the boat, causing her to wince slightly at the sudden movement.


I pretend that I'm glad you went away
These four walls closing more every day
And I'm dying inside
And nobody knows it but me
Like a clown I put on a show
The pain is real even if nobody knows
And I'm crying inside
And nobody knows it but me

Ginny surveyed the area. There were palm trees with large coconuts at the top and bottom of the tree. The white sandy beaches seemed to roll on forever and the grass chased after them. There were beautiful flowers springing up everywhere colored red, yellow and pink. The sun loomed overhead highlighting the island completely. A gushing stream of seawater cut through the island, swimming with fish that looked, at this point, so deliciously edible. This had to be the most beautiful, most peaceful place Ginny had ever been to. It was nothing like she'd ever seen before.


Why didn't I say the things I needed to say
How could I let my angel get away
Now my world is just a-tumblin' down
I can say it so clearly but you're nowhere around

A sudden chanting scared them out of their wits. "Meh kama juk laop" came the strange sounds. They looked around for the source of the noise and it seemed to be coming from up ahead of them. They walked through the scrub, branches lashing out at them and grass tickling their bare legs. They followed the sultry sound coming from up ahead for what seemed hours to them, though in reality it was probably only ten minutes. The hot sun scorched their backs, turning their skin red as they broke out in a sweat. Finally they reached a small clearing and walked directly into it.


The nights are so lonely the days are so sad and
I just keep thinking about the love that we had
And I'm missing you
And nobody knows it but me

There was a young woman standing in the middle of the clearing holding two sticks in the air with sharpened points at the end. In the middle of all of this lay a young boy, probably no older then sixteen. He was wearing nothing and lay still, unmoving but he was still breathing and every so often his eyes flickered. He lay on a bed of dryed leaves crunching around him with every step closer the woman took. The was a large crowd all around of women chanting the words "Meh kama juk laop" excitedly. One women was crying while she said it. She obviously had some relation to the boy, perhaps his mother or maybe a sister. Draco squeaked.


I carry smile when I'm broken in two
And I'm nobody without someone like you
I'm trembling inside
And nobody knows it but me (yeah)

The woman stopped chanting and looked over at them, a murderous glint in her eye. She began to speak in an unknown language "Lik girh muk came fah se lo tek dem mo" She shouted looking at them. They all looked at each other puzzled, none of them knowing what exactly she meant. Her face was slowing growing red with the anger that was obviously building up inside her and Ginny sensed that she was just a little bit annoyed at them for bursting in like this. She threw one of the spears at them, where it missed and instead drove itself into a tree, killing a small wasp as it went.


Lie awake, it's a quarter past three
I'm screaming at night if I thought you'd hear me
Yeah, my heart is calling you
And nobody knows it but me (well, well)

Ginny suddenly realised that this was a ritual killing that they had stumbled across. The boy was about to be sacrificed to the gods and Ginny screamed hoarsly at the thought. She ran in and grabbed his hand, pulling him away. She ran as hard as she could, motioning with her free hand for the others to follow. The boy looked bewildered but he ran with them nevertheless. He was a good runner, managing to keep up with Harry, the fastest runner in the group. The women chased after them, unhappy. Finally they made it back to the safety of the boat and began to pull away when they were stopped.


How blue can I get?
You could ask my heart
But like a jigsaw puzzle it's been torn all apart
Billion words couldn't say just how I feel
A million years from now you know I'll be loving you still

The boat was caught on something underneath the water. Harry jumped out and swum under the boat to tug it free. Draco followed suit as the women approached shouting and screaming at them, their faces red with anger. Harry and Draco worked feverently at the boat, running out of oxygen the faster they worked. Finally the managed to tug it free and swam back up. Harry clambered into the boat and Draco pulled himself up but the women were to close now and they had to start rowing or they'd never get away from them.Draco stood on the side as they rowed away from the horrible island, the boy still naked.


The nights are so lonely the days are so sad and
I just keep thinking about the love that we had
And I'm missing you
And nobody knows it but me
oooo oohhhhh yeah

As they rowed away, Draco slipped and fell into the water. Ron, Harry and the boy tried desperately to pull him back up but the sharks were back, and they were hungry. Draco screamed in pain and the water around him turned crimson red. One of the sharks had bitten of his foot and half of his leg. Ginny pitched in trying to help him but the sharks were now in on the game of tug of war. Hermione even tried but she was still fairly weak and couldn't really pulll him in. Finally, after a ten minute struggle, Draco disappeared under the water, never to resurface. Now the sharks had a taste of what they'd been chasing, there was no telling what they may do.


Tomorrow morning, I'm a hit a dusty road
Gonna find you, where ever, ever you might go
And I'm gonna load my heart and hope you come back to me
(Say when the nights are lonely)
The nights are so lonely the days are so sad and
I just keep thinking about the love that we had
And I'm missing you
And nobody knows it but me
