Chapter out! Chapter out!
Also, I noticed I crossed 10 followers/favorites!
Thank you so so so much. So, I decided to be a good author, and make time to write this down. Unfortunately, it's more of a filler. But this is how I planned the chapter to be, and anything else would have been weird, so I decided to stick with.
I'm curious. Who else plays Hogwarts a Mystery? Cause I feel like a large part of the fandom has slept on this game. At first, I was irritated by it too, with the energy requirements and stuff, but now as the story progresses, I've really started to love the game. Who's your favourite character in the game? I'm in 2nd year, and for now my favourite is either Merula or Chiara.
I wonder how Peter was planning on hiding his job from his friends.
For now, it was easy. He was away from his friends; he didn't have to return to Hogwarts and he lived alone.
But what about when the week ended.
The other marauders would return to Hogwarts for their jobs, and they would expect him to return as well. What would he do then? Stay at his job, or come here. If he comes, then how? By quitting his job? Or taking a leave- for a year?
I almost chuckled out loud.
"Hey," someone snapped their fingers in front of my face, breaking me out from my reverie.
"Oh h-" I mumbled, I looked up to see my music producer, Kevin Brough, standing in front of me, "Hey- what is it?"
"We're ready to record the vocals," he said.
I nodded in response and got up into the recording booth. Glass separated me from Kevin and his various devices. I put on my headphones and waited for the music to start.
(A/N The song is 'Heart Attack' by Demi Lovato)
(My pre-recorded voice came, edited by my producer)
Puttin' my defences up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack
(I start singing)
Never put my love out on the line
Never said yes to the right guy
Never had trouble getting what I want
But when it comes to you, I'm never good enough
(I close my eyes as the song continues)
When I don't care, I can play 'em like a Ken doll
Won't wash my hair, then make 'em bounce like a basketball
But you make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear high heels, yes you
Make me so nervous, that I just can't hold your hand
(I open my eyes)
You make me glow,
But I cover up, won't let it show,
So I'm puttin' my defences up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that,
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
(I take a breath as the high notes stop)
Never break a sweat for the other guys
When you come around, I get paralysed
And every time I try to be myself
It comes out wrong like a cry for help
It's just not fair
Pain's more trouble than love is worth
I gasp for air
It feels so good, but you know it hurts
(My foot taps the floor rhythmically)
But you make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear perfume, for you,
Make me so nervous, that I just can't hold your hand
You make me glow,
But I cover up, won't let it show,
So I'm puttin' my defences up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
(I sing along with my pre-recorded harmonies)
The feelings got lost in my lungs
They're burning, I'd rather be numb
And there's no one else to blame
So scared I take off and I run
I'm flying too close to the sun
(I paused letting the recording take over)
And I burst into flames
(I sing the high note)
Flames
(I close my eyes again as the music softens)
You make me glow,
But I cover up, won't let it show,
So I'm puttin' my defences up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
(I sing the overlapped parts with the chorus I had recorded)
If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack (heart attack)
I think I'd have a heart attack
Oh I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
The music dies down, I look up towards Kevin he gives me a thumbs up and gestures for me to come out.
I grin and walk out.
He plays the recording to me and we listen for any errors.
"This is great," he says in between the song, "I'll edit this a bit and we'll record some harmonies for the chorus. Then it's done!"
"We'll be finished by tomorrow right?" I asked, bobbing my head to the music.
"Yeah, we should be," he said, not really looking up from his computer.
"Cool," I say.
Tomorrow I'd be heading back to Hogwarts.
"Hey Lils!" I exclaimed.
Lily turned around. A smile graced her face when she saw me, "Hi Lisa!"
The two Gryffindor girls near her, rolled their eyes, almost in eerie synchrony. I think their names were Marlene McKinnon and Mary McDonald, both 2nd years.
"I need your help," I said, ignoring the two girls beside Lily. They weren't rude, just unfriendly towards all Slytherins in general. As long as they didn't trouble me, I didn't mind them, "Slughorn assigned us a 3 feet essay on Sleeping Draught and I've barely written 2 feet. It's due Thursday!"
"Why didn't you ask Sev?" she said.
"He has charms homework so he can't help," I shrugged, "And you're waaay better at Potions." I dragged the word 'way' dramatically.
Lily laughed, "Sure, I'll meet you up tomorrow, I have a free period at 5."
I beamed at her, "Thanks Lils, you're a life-saver!" I hugged her real tight and then got ready to off.
"Oh Lisa!" Lily called out. I turned around looking at her questioningly.
"Are you staying for Christmas?" she asked.
"No, I'm going back," I said, "Why?"
"Sev was staying back," she said sadly.
"It's fine Lils," I said putting a hand on her arm consolingly, "He has plenty of friends in Slytherin, I'm sure some of them must be staying back."
That was true. Though Severus was not the most popular, due to his blood status and the fact that his best friend is a muggleborn, he had much better luck at making friends in our house than I did.
To be fair, that was my own doing.
"I hope so," she said.
I opened my mouth to say something else but was cut off by Marlene, "Lily we're gonna be late for charms."
"Yeah coming," Lily said, she waved good bye to me and walked off with her friends.
I walked towards DADA at a leisurely pace still having 5 mins to spare. Thankfully it was with Hufflepuffs. They were the least hostile towards Slytherins, obviously with the few exceptions, and didn't mind that much if I sat with them.
Unlike the Gryffindors, who whispered amongst themselves as if I had kicked a Crup and not just sat in their general vicinity.
Speaking of whispers.
The prank had gone off wonderfully. Even after a month people were talking about it.
Maybe it was because of the mystery of who Incendies was, or because Parkinson's eyebrows had still not grown back properly.
I had been regretting keeping Incendies a secret but now I could see that it had its own perks.
I went into the DADA room. Honestly, I wasn't a fan of the subject.
Ok, that would be false. I wasn't a fan of the teacher, Ms. Bimble.
In our first week, she had been teaching us about jinxes and she mentioned something about jinxes being a minor form of dark magic, as dark magic could be classified as anything that can be used to harm a being in any form or manner.
I asked her a pretty simple question. Why isn't all magic be classified as dark then? I mean, I could take a simple Lumos Maxima and bring it up to your face and that would cause your eyes some damage, right?
So, am I not technically harming you?
Honestly even a 'You're too young to understand' excuse would have been better than deducting 10 house points, scolding me for half an hour straight for interrupting her and instructing the class to write a four feet essay on jinxes which, if you didn't catch on, was EXACTLY what she did!
I received glares from everyone, even the nice Hufflepuffs, for two days straight, till somebody else asked her a question and she responded in a similar manner.
And she still hasn't decided to remove the stick up her ass.
No wonder she isn't married yet.
It wasn't even that hard a question to answer. I asked Sev and her told me the answer straight away. Dark spells are made with the intent to do the harm. Other charms may have mal-repercussions like Lumos, but as long as that was not what they were originally made to do it doesn't count.
Was that so hard to explain?
I had half a mind of cursing the woman into the next century and blaming it all on Incendies. But seeing as she would be probably be out of the school by the end of the year, I didn't bother.
I walked into the room and sat on the seat beside a sweet Hufflepuff boy (I think his name was George Jones?) and waited for the she-devil to come.
She walked in, saying a short 'good morning' which one or two people responded to half-heartedly, and then waved her wand towards the board behind her, on which writing appeared which she ordered us to copy it down.
I groaned, unscrewing the cap of my ink bottle.
Please review guys. Your reviews make me really happy.
