Chapter 7
When Angelique and Snape were about 100 metres away from the doors to the Great Hall, Snape said, "Now, you'll go in there alone. I have something to do in the dungeons."
"Ok," Angelique answered and entered the Great Hall.
Everyone stopped eating as they heard footsteps coming from the doors.
As they looked towards the doors, they couldn't turn their eyes away.
Angelique looked like a.
No-one except those who knew her secret could say.
She looked like an Elf.
As Hagrid looked at the figure by the doors he choked.
"Amelile." The forgotten name of the dead Elf Queen slipped his lips quietly as he remembered the Christmas Ball many years ago.
Angelique was surprised to see that Draco sat next to her in the table, but didn't say anything, even if she was annoyed.
She started to talk to a girl who sat on the other side of her.
Suddenly Angelique heard Draco's voice.
"Angelique?"
She became really annoyed and turned around too sudden.
Angelique's and Draco's eyes widened as they realized what just happened.
When Angelique had turned around, their lips accidentally met, leaving the two Slytherins blush.
Angelique turned away from Draco, blushing furiously.
Dumbledore stood up. "Now, dear students, we are going to play a game."
Those who knew about his 'interesting' games, groaned.
A ring appeared before every student.
"Look at your number and memorize it. We'll choose 5 numbers from each house and the lucky winners will do something fun," Dumbledore added.
Angelique looked at her number.
It was 13.
'Gee, what a lucky number.'
After the choosing of the 5 people from each house, Angelique was sure that 13 wasn't her lucky number.
She had been chosen as one of them.
She didn't like this at all!
"Now we'll choose the house that'll start. Slytherin!" Dumbledore smiled.
Angelique groaned.
Draco wasn't happy either, he had been chosen too.
"And now, the lucky ones that have been chosen must sing here, in front of the Head Table. You can use singing charms if you know any. Number 7, please!" Dumbledore said.
Draco choked as he remembered that he was number 7.
He pointed at his throat, said the spell and went in front of the Head Table.
Draco thought of a song he could sing and remembered one, when he saw Angelique look at him with her green eyes, which had broken many hearts.
He began to sing.
"I know that I'm not the first one
You've had love in your path before me
But when your lips touched my lips, it felt
Like I was kissing destiny
Angel eyes, with your angel eyes
Will you always be there to hold me?
Angel eyes, I am satisfied, I don't want to hear your story
'Cause I can see the things I really want to see
I am in love,"
Angelique saw that Draco was looking at her. She understood that he sang to her.
"I believe in what I'm feeling
I'd give everything up just for you
Love is devoted to those who see
That the last dance you dance with the truth
Angel eyes, with your angel eyes
Will you always be there to hold me?
Angel eyes, I am satisfied, I don't want to hear your story
'Cause I can see the things I really want to see
In your eyes
Angel eyes, I just want you here to hold me
Angel eyes, with your angel eyes
Will you always be there to hold me?
Angel eyes, I am satisfied, I don't want to hear your story
'Cause I can see the things I really want to see
I am in love."
Draco bowed and left the stage as everyone clapped their hands.
"Very good, very good, Mr. Malfoy. The next one is number 3!" Dumbledore said.
~*~
Angelique was the last who sang from the Slytherin House. She went on the stage and started her song.
"A hand above the water, an angel reaching for the sky
Is it raining in heaven, do you want us to cry?
And everywhere the broken-hearted, on every lonely avenue
No-one could reach them,
No-one but you
One by one
Only the good die young
They're only flying too close to the sun
And life goes on
Without you,"
Harry was shocked.
He had looked at Angelique's every move and he was sure that she hadn't used a singing charm.
He had never heard a voice so clear, so beautiful. and so sad.
"Another tricky situation, I get to drown in the blues
And I find myself thinking, well, what would you do?
Yes, it was such an operation, forever paying every due
Hell, you made a sensation
You found a way through
One by one
Only the good die young
They're only flying too close to the sun
We'll remember
Forever
And now the party must be over, I guess we'll never understand
The sense of your leaving, was it the way it was planned?
So we grace another table, and raise our glasses one more time
There's a face at the window
And I ain't never, never saying goodbye
One by one
Only the good die young
They're only flying too close to the sun
Crying for nothing
Crying for no-one
No-one but you."
For the time Angelique finished, Harry understood.
She wasn't singing a song she just liked, she was singing about her future.
"Gosh, she sang like an angel," Seamus said.
"More like an Elf," Harry mumbled under his breath.
"What did you say?" Seamus asked.
"Oh,no, nothing," Harry answered innocently.
"Ok."
After Angelique had finished, there was five seconds of silence.
And after that came the biggest applause that the Bloody Baron had ever heard in Hogwarts.
Angelique didn't seem to notice that though.
She felt as is she was in a trance.
The song haunted her mind, playing every word in her mind for millions of times.
Her look was blank as she sat besides Draco and she didn't hear him saying her name.
~*~
Everyone had already sung their songs, when Angelique heard someone talking to her.
"Angelique? Angelique? Angelique!" Draco tried to sound patient, but it didn't work.
"Huh? What?" Angelique finally answered.
"Would you like to dance?"
"Ok."
For Draco's surprise she had agreed.
A slow and kind of sad song started to play when Angelique and Draco stepped on the dance floor.
"That song you sang was really pretty," Draco tried to start the conversation as they danced.
"It was? I never knew." Angelique answered, trailing off.
Draco frowned, but didn't say anything.
He noticed that Angelique was wearing the necklace he gave her.
"Draco?"
"Yes, Angelique?"
"Thank you for the necklace, but you shouldn't have."
"I wanted to."
After some dancing Angelique suggested that they'd take a walk outside in the fresh air.
Both of them put their coats on and went outside to the rose garden, where roses grew every season.
Angelique looked at a pure white rose. Draco saw as Angelique touched the soft petals of the rose with her gentle fingers.
He wanted to pick one of the flowers and give it to Angelique, but her hand stopped him.
"No, don't. I don't want you to shorten the life of a rose that is so beautiful."
Angelique sat on a nearby bench.
She looked at the moon and the twinkling stars in the midnight blue sky.
Angelique sighed as she remembered her family.
Now they were in heaven, where everyone was happy.
"Do you have any brothers or sisters?" Angelique asked Draco.
"No. My parents never wanted to have more children."
"Oh. I had an older sister, Angela and a younger brother, André. I believe that they are happy now. Though they probably miss me."
"I hope that you won't see them very soon."
"You do? They probably will. Voldemort will take care of that."
Draco felt his hate for Voldemort rise.
"Do you believe in fate, Draco?"
"I do."
"Please understand that this is my fate. Only good die young - remember? My last favor for the humankind will hopefully be killing Voldemort."
"Don't say that!"
"I am not afraid of death, Draco. I have seen too much during my life, during this year. I'm not afraid of anything anymore, Draco."
Draco saw Angelique shiver.
"Let's go inside," He suggested and they made their way back to the castle.
....:::::::: A Few Hours Later, Slytherin Common Room ::::::::...
Draco was relaxing in the Common Room, when he saw Angelique come with two packages.
She was coming to him.
"Draco, I thought I should make a present for you too. This isn't much, but I hope you like it." She said and gave Draco a package.
Draco took the paper off the present and saw a beautiful photo.
There was an unicorn, one of the prettiest he had ever seen and a girl with long wavy hair to her waist, wearing a beautiful white dress and reaching out to touch the unicorn with her fingers.
He noticed that the girl had pointy ears and green eyes.
"Angelique! Is this you?" Draco asked surprised.
"Yes, it is me. I have to go and take this one to Snape too, so I'll see you later."
....:::::::: Snape's Office :::::::....
Snape was checking students' homework when Angelique came in.
"Oh, hello, Angelique. Do have any problems?"
"Nope. I just wanted to give you this."
Angelique put the second package on Snape's table.
"This is your Christmas present from me. Open it."
"Alright."
Snape took the paper off and saw a photo.
There were Angelique and he himself on the picture.
They were smiling and waving at him.
"This is a really good present. Now I'll never forget you."
"Merry Christmas, Severus," Angelique said as she hugged the Professor tightly.
"Merry Christmas, Angelique."
