Disclaimer: Sorry, but I didn't write a disclaimer on the last chapter. Or
a summery or anything actually. Anyway, I don't own anything. The song in
this chapter is by the DumDums (Josh Doyle and Stuart are members of
DumDums, and I deffo don't own them), and any other characters belong to JK
Rowling.
Anyways on to the story.
Dare To Love You
Chapter 2: Dean's Turn
The four boys took to the stage. Everyone in the whole Gryffindor house had turned up to watch. Dean scanned the crowd. In the front row sat Lavender, Hermione, Ginny Weasley, and.. Her! They seemed just as confused as everyone else. But it all became clear when Fred and George took to the stage.
"Ladies, gentlemen, and fellow classmates, welcome to the fifth year boys first ever performance. We are not sure what songs they will be performing, however our assistant, Mr Longbottom, assures us that they are of top quality." Fred declared.
"So there is not much left to say except, over to you boys." George clapped his hands together, and then he and his twin bowed, and exited. The audience glanced at each other unsure whether to clap on run away. They decided to clap. Suddenly a drum git appeared on stage, and two guitars appeared, hanging from Dean and Seamus's neck. Neville walked on the stage, and took his place behind the drums. Harry and Ron disappeared to the side.
Dean struck a chord. TWANG!!!! It echoed through the silent common room. He blushed, nervously. Neville held up his drumsticks, and in true drummer style yelled: "One, Two, Onetwothreefour!" And they played.
"Why do you smile like that when you look at me
When you know I can't have you
Why do your glances seem like advances
Is it just me Man I think I going crazy"
Dean paused from singing, to glance at her. She was sitting there with a weird look on her face. It seemed to be a mix of that smile she always had around him, and a look of shock. That was fair. It always seemed to be him that was left stunned. This time it was her.
"It aches in my heart
With my friends I'm always acting so cool
But I would sell out
If only you be closer to you
And there's nothing I can do"
No time to look at her now, he thought. I've got to work on this fiddley link. He sneaked a look in anyway. God she's beautiful, He said to himself.
"I can't get you out of my thoughts
Or out of my heart and I know I'm in love with you baby
Everything I do leads me back to you
You gotta know that you're driving me crazy"
Dean grinned, pleased that he had gone through half the song, without making any mistakes. Of course he knew both the song, and how to play a guitar. Years of growing up in a muggle family, especially next to Josh Doyle, meant that it was almost impossible not to. It was his friends, Neville and Seamus, that he was worried about. But they seemed to be doing fine.
"Look at me girl, I'm a fool, I make you smile
But I know I can't have you
And I stare at the stars, wishing you weren't so far
From my arms, not alone but I'm sick of being lonely"
As he relaxed more, he started to play automatically, allowing himself to throw the odd smile at Her in the audience. He even managed to flick his hair in the same way Stuart had taught him. That earned him a few hopeful glances from several girls in the audience.
"I try to love someone else
And everyday I try to be true
It only makes me feel worse
Cos all I'm doing is thinking about you
And there's nothing I can do"
He was still looking at the audience, when he saw his previous girlfriend, Natasha. After much prodding from Seamus telling him that he needed to get a life, and stop moping around, he had asked her out.
But as just like the song he sang, it wasn't right. When he kissed Natasha, he kept wishing (even imagining) that he was kissing Her. Eventually Natasha figured out, and dumped him. Luckily at the same time, Her boyfriend dumped her, so they could both console each other.
"I can't get you out of my thoughts
Or out of my heart and I know I'm in love with you baby
Everything I do leads me back to you
You gotta know that you're driving me crazy"
One last fiddly bit, Dean grinned, and then I can go. But some part of him wanted to stay on stage. He loved this feeling of performing. Maybe there might be a magical version of this that he could do when he finished Hogwarts. That would really impress Her. Oh no! Dean was thinking about her again.
"I can't get you out of my thoughts
Or out of my heart and I know I'm in love with you baby
Everything I do leads me back to you
You gotta know that you're driving me crazy"
He finished the song, and took a bow. Gryffindor house filled with applause. He didn't know performing was that good. He would have to talk to Josh over the summer. He looked and saw that She was standing up, and applauding with everyone else.
"That song was dedicated to Parvati." He said, before Neville and Seamus rushed him backstage to get changed for the next number.
