I'm trying to become a more experienced and better writer by actually having seen my setting. It will help me make the ending A LOT better!!
Chapter 7: A Deathly Secret
Peter got tired of watching everyone else have a good time and grumpily walked off to a corner of the room to sulk. There he was confronted by two identical twins who were amusingly pretty. They both were smiling at him.
"Hello." The one on the left said.
"Um... Hi." Peter responded.
"Would you like to dance with one of us?" The second giggled.
"We noticed you didn't seem to have a date." They said in unison. "We don't either."
They both laughed. "I'm Angel," the first one said.
"I'm Misty." The other one followed.
They looked at each other and said in unison,"Who are you?"
"Peter." Peter responded. Was this some kind of evil joke? Yes, his friends were probably playing a joke on him. They knew he didn't have a date. And he had never seen these girls before.
"Very funny." He muttered.
"What's funny?" Misty asked, her voice was filled with innocent puzzlement.
So they weren't in on a joke. He looked to Angel and then to Misty.
"I'll dance with Angel for two dances and then you for two. Okay?" He asked.
They nodded and Angel practically flung herself to him. As he had said, they danced two dances, and well, Peter was reluctant to let her leave. But he still had to dance with Misty, who was nothing like her sister. She was wild, loud, and well, seemed drunk. Or maybe hyper. Or both. He wasn't sure.

Meilin started fiddling around with the one small pocket in the side of her dress. Sirius had went to get something for them to drink, so she sat alone watching Lily and James dance together happily. She had stuck a magical mirror in her pocket. It was another one of her prized possessions; Whenever she was separated from her true love it would make itself into two so she would always be with them. However, it was stuck as one.
"How long until I'm not just dreaming? How long until somebody cares? How long until I meet my angel? How long until I fall in love?" She asked it, a tear falling down her face. She gently put it back into her pocket, and found something else, something she hadn't put there. Before she could check it out, Sirius came back. She took the drink he offered her gratefully. She lay her head on his shoulder.
"If you could have anything in the world, what would it be?" She asked sleepily.
"I dunno... A girlfriend? A wife? A kid?" he hesitated. "I already have one of them." Meilin stared at him.
"Oh I get it." She laughed. "For a moment I thought you were going to say a kid, then I would have smacked you." She shook her head and relaxed. She pulled out the object that was in her pocket.
"Oh, wow." She said, looking at an ancient looking crystal ball. "I've never seen this before."
Sirius blushed. He had put it there while she was performing after learning from Missy that she liked to do things with crystal balls and other fortune telling items. Missy had also told him she had a whole collection of crystal balls.
"What do you see in it?" He asked. Meilin stared for a moment, and then let her eyes go back to the crystal ball.
"I see myself in a cathedral, all dressed in white. That someone is willing and waiting to be there by my side. I don't where I'll find him, but I'm sure I will find him, somewhere out there, I know he's gonna make me happy." She finished. She stood up, and brushed off her dress. Then she sat back down and turned to him.
"Thank you, Sirius." She said. "I really like it." She got up and twirled around. "It's stuffy in here. Would you like to join me outside?" She started to the door.
"Sure." Sirius replied.
******
"Dumbledore, can I go yet?" A dark, messy haired little girl asked. She was sitting in midair, under an invisibility cloak.
"I'm sorry, but you can't go yet." He said. He gave her a chocolate frog, which kept her momentarily amused.
"But I'm tired of being here. Can't I go and have some fun?" she complained.
"Skuld," He smiled. "I can't let you, or else you will create some kind of a paradox."
"Okay." She moaned. Dumbledore went back to watching the young couples, keeping a close eye on Meilin and Sirius. He also watched Remus and Shampoo, who were arguing in the corner, Lily and James who were still on the dance floor, Peter, who was having quite a hard time with Angel and Misty, and finally, Lucius and Selena who were sitting and drinking punch.
******
Meilin and Sirius sat in the grass, overlooking the lake. Sirius absently played with a piece of Meilin's hair while she sat, staring at the stars. They sat like that for almost an hour, until Meilin started to get cold. She curled up to keep herself warm as a light snow started to fall. Meilin shivered and Sirius moved closer to her.
"Do you want to go in?" He asked. She didn't answer, but moved closer to him. He put his arms around her a saw some kind of dark, black mark on her arm. He leaned over to get a better look, and to his surprise, saw the Dark Mark tattooed on Meilin's arm. He gasped, which caught Meilin's attention.
"What?" She asked.
"Oh my God..." He murmured, and got up. "You're a death eater?"
Meilin looked at him and noticed what he saw.
"It's not what you think." She tried to explain.
"I'm sure it isn't."
He walked off, leaving her in the falling snow.
******
"Are you sure she's a death eater? I mean, She seems so nice." Remus said at another animangi meeting.
"Yes, I'm sure. I even saw the dark mark on her arm." Sirius said, his voice sounded depressed. Shampoo said nothing, but sat a little away from them. She turned her eyes away from the narrow window she was looking through.
"It's not quite what you think." She said quietly. The boys jumped at her sudden response.
"What do you mean? Are you one, too?" Peter asked, almost getting smacked by Remus.
"Do you know anything about this, Shampoo?" Remus questioned her.
"Yes," Shampoo choked. "It's nothing like you think."
"Will you tell us, Shampoo?" James asked gently.
"I don't know how she does it." Shampoo muttered. "After all that's happened to her she can still manage to smile and be friendly to everyone. Even after tonight, the first thing she did to me was smile." She stopped to take in a breath. "Ever since I can remember, Her parents have been cruel. They are Voldemort's biggest supporters, and even before he was at large, they studied dark arts. Meilin was one of the middle children of 14, so far. When she was 6, her parents took her to a death eater's convention. She became an official death eater, but her spirit never gave in to the darkness. Sure, she knew dark arts like the back of her hand. Her parents, instead of sending their children to Japan's best magical school, They sent them far away to Hogwarts. If their children didn't make it into Slytherin, they disowned them. That happened to a few of her brothers and sisters, and then her. I followed her to Hogwarts. She was cared for by Dumbledore. During the summer she stays here upon special request." Shampoo drew in another shaky breath. "She isn't evil. Not at all. But she's never had any real friends but Lily and I. She's rather lonely. Selena's there for her, but Selena has a weird personality. She was overjoyed when she became friends with you guys. She actually felt like she was wanted around. She can't change her past, so you'll just have to deal with her." Shampoo finished.
"So she's a death eater against her will?" Remus asked.
"Yes, that about sums it up." She looked towards the door. "I'm tired and I'm going to bed. I will see you tomorrow." She brushed past them and in a puff of pink smoke, a tiny black cat with huge eyes bounded out of the door.
******
Meilin sat quietly on her bed, her cheeks wet from crying. She thought about how everything had been so perfect, It was all so perfect until Sirius had found out. She sighed as Shampoo clawed her way into the dorm and jumped onto the bed. She purred and rubbed up against Meilin's hand. Meilin smiled sadly, and stroked Shampoo's fur.
"Shampoo, thanks for being such a good friend." She hugged Shampoo closely.
"Your choking me," Shampoo croaked.
