Skies of Gray
A/N Four chapters posted in one day. Do you think I write too much? some of you might have noticed that there is another person making comments in my little notes. Well that would be my sister. Anyway we'll find out how Ara deals with the ball.
Ginny smiled as she pulled out the dress that Ara had bought for her. The one that she had boought at the beginning of the year was no match for the silk creation that had cost over 70 Galleons.
"Oh, Gin, that's beautiful." Kara, one of the other fifth year girls said, wistfully. "Where'd you get it?"
"A friend bought it for me." Ginny replied smoothing out the wrinkles. "She had it on reserve until I could go pick it up."
"I bet it was that disgusting Slytherin girl, wasn't it?" Shania was a viscious girl who thought that Ginny was too wild . "i mean you were hanging out with her on the last Hogsmeade trip."
"So what if she got me the dress?" Ginny snapped. "At least I didn't beg her for it."
Shania flushed. "i didn't beg my sister for my dress. she sent it to me as an early Christmas present."
"Sure." Ginny grabbed a brush and began to brush out her long auburn hair.
An uneasy silence fell upon the dorm until Hermoine ran into the room. "Ginny, come over to my dorm. Lavender, Parvati and I want to help you get ready."
"gladly." Ginny scooped up her make-up and dress and followed Hermoine out.
For the next hour the three sixth year girls worked on getting Ginny ready, ignoring their own preperation to a certain extent ,chattering all the while about how lucky she was to be going with Harry. Ginny rolled her eyes and submitted to their administrations. When she was finally allowed to look in the mirror, she gasped. The small redhead standing there was hardly recognizable. Her redhair was done up in a french twist with tiny silver flowers woven inticately into her hair. Around her neck was a delicate silver chain with a small amethyst pendent. it had arrived that morning without a note or any hint as to who sent it. But when Ginny looked at Ara the other girl had grinned and waved.
"ginny you look gorgeous." Hermoine said sighing. "I bet Harry will think so too."
"Yeah." But Ginny didn't really care what Harry thought.
She waited for the other girls to finish getting ready, before all four of them walked down together. Their dates were already there, waiting. Ron and Harry walked foward to claim their dates.
"Gin, you look beautiful." Harry said taking her hand.
Ara and the elementals meet outside the Great Hall, all of their faces hard and determined to make Pansy pay. Ara was dressed in her red and silver, draco in the Malfoy family colors of black and silver, Deacon wore blue, vegas purple, wayne in the Slytherin house colors, dameon wore yellow, and Halo pink.
"Remember, no one confronts Parkinson unless one of us it there." Deacon stared at Ara who nodded angrily. "Right then."
"Let's blow this school away." vegas hooted.
"'Blow this school away'?" Draco asked puzzeled.
"Right." Vegas sighed. "you're a Brit. It means surprise 'em."
The seven students walked into the Hall and paused in the doorway. many of the students were already there and stared at them. Ara threw herself down in a chair near the door while the others, excluding Draco, began to mingle as their reputations weren't in question. Ara grabbed a butterbeer and downed it one swallow. It was evident that she didn't want to be here at all. Draco sat silently, glaring at anyone who stared at them too long. Ara barely glanced up when Ginny and Harry stopped in front of her.
"Hello, Weasel-Girl." she said affectionetly. "having fun?"
"Ara," Ginny looked worried. "what's wrong?"
"Wrong? Why, whatever do you mean?" she glanced up the circles under her eyes darker than ever. "Nothing's wrong."
Ginny glanced at Draco, who frowned and shrugged.
"Issa, what-" he began then stopped looking past Ginny and Harry. "parkinson."
"circle." Ara hissed.
Almost immediatly the Elementals detached themselves from various positions in the crowd to form a circle around the unsuspecting Slytherin. Draco and Ara slid past the two surprised Gryffindors to close the circle. Pansy looked around clearly terrified.
"What do you want?" she asked, shakily.
"I think you know." Ara said. "But if you've forgotten, I think Deacon can remind you."
"Eavesdropping on an Elemental. Spreading rumors about two Elementals and then lying about it." He rattled off.
"Time to pay the piper, dear." draco sneered softly.
The Elementals began to chant, to softly for anyone to hear. After a minute Ara smiled, and they melted back into the crowd. ara and Draco returned to their table, smiling rather maliciously. Ara looked at Ginny not bothering to hide her pleasure at the sight of the other girl.
"Ginny! How noce to see you."
Draco's eyes narrowed. "Issa, are you all right?"
She laughed. "Perfectly. It just doesn't seem that way." She turned to Ginny. "Go dance with Itchar. There is nothing you can do here." She stood and walked away.
Draco smirked. "Yes, go dance you two. I'm sure you'll enjoy that." He too disappeared into the crowd.
As though that was all he'd been waiting for, Harry led Ginny out onto the dance floor. Dumbledore had once again procured the Weird Sisters for the ball, and they were now playing a slow song. As Ginny danced with Harry she kept an eye on Draco and Ara. She didn't know what was wrong but she suspected that it was bad.
Ara wandered around the outside of the dance floor without really noticing that she was. Suddenly feeling eyes on her she looked upand met Lupin's eyes.
In the moonlight I felt your heart
Quiver like a bowstrings pulse.
Ara watched silently as he approached her. She wasn't sure what he was thinking but wasn't really concerned.
"would you care to dance?" he asked holding out his hand.
In the moon's mere light you looked at me
Nobody knows your heart
Tilting her head slightly, Ara took it and allowed herself to be led out onto the floor. As they began to dance everything seemed to fade away. Nothing existed except for them.
When the sun is gone I see you
Beautiful and haunting, but cold.
students and teachers alike watched the couple as they moved across the floor, gracefully avoiding staring couples. They didn't seem to notice anyone else, in fact they didn't even know they existed.
Like the blade of a knife, so sharp, so sweet
Nobody knows your heart
The Elementals all stopped and turned to look at the two. Deacon smiled. Vegas laughed. Draco frowned. Halo sighed. Wayne shrugged. And Dameon blinked. They knew that the two shared a connection that no one else could ever have. But they didn't know how strong it was.
All of your sorrow, grief and pain
Locked away in the forest of the night
Snape watched the two, frowning. His neice was all he had in the world, and didn't want her tainted by the werewolf. He nearly laughed at himself. What was he talking about? Ara was half-werewolf, so it didn't really matter whether she was tainted or not.
Your secret heart belongs to the world
Dumbledore watched the two a slight smile on his face. The two made a lovely couple despite the age difference. He'd hate to see something happen to either of them. Somehow he knew that they should be together. There wasn't a doubt in his ancient mind.
Of the things that sigh in the dark.
Of the things that cry in the dark.
As the song ended the two werewolves became aware of their audience. As most of them clapped and cheered, Ara's face, which for a few rare moments looked happy, blanked once again and Lupin withdrew.
A/n: ahh. Love. what was that little spell they cast? Hmmm. I'll get back to ya'll on that one. Is Lupin the one meant for ara? When am I going to get Draco and Ginny together? i'm workin' on it people. I think next chapter will be soon enough, don't you? I think I'll work Sirius in too. Maybe even give Snape a love interest. Ah ha ha! Ah ha ha ha ::hacking cough:: I'm not getting any better at that am I? ::sigh:: I'll try harder. ::Ahem:: Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! There I did it! ::yay:: ::smile:: thank you to all my reveiwers. sadly I don't have time to list them here. ::takes out stick with a 9 inch nail in it:: Feel free to make use of this stick. Er... just don't maim me permently. until the next chapter.
The song featured in this chapter is Mononoke Hime performed by Sasha Lazard from the movie Princess Mononoke. I highly recommend it.
the one in the last chapter was part of Voodoo by Godsmack Again I highly recommend it.
