Chapter 4
"The Music of the night"

All was silent that night at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and wizardry. Every light was out, everyone asleep. wEll almost everyone. Alone in the Astronomy tower, Harry sat. Pondering his life, or the chaos that he called that. He was a confused teenager. Feelings for Hermione that he had never before considered popped into his head at all times of the day. The Quidditch season a head of him, the first game being the next day. The feeling of Danger that never quite went away. His scar had awakened him more than once with pain. He had gone to Professor Dumbledore about it only to be told that there was no explination for it. Nothing 'evil' was happening in any reports. Harry didn't like the quiet. It was like the calm before the storm. Veronica Snape, the enigma, the mysterious girl. She had ROn completely wrapped around her finger and deny it thought she might, she herself was twisted around the second yougest Weasley's pinky as well. It had been a solid month since her disasterous welcome ball. She seemed to fit in well with the other students and got along with the teachers. HE just couldn't figure her out. Her father was Severus Snape. A meaner, greasier, more snake-like man you couldn't find unless he was Lord Voldemort himself. Yet Veronica was the exact opposite. Cheerful, caring, compassionate. Harry shook his head as he began his descent to rest before the All important Quidditch game against SLytherien the next afternoon. A gleam caught his eye. At first he thought it was the moonlight reflecting on the lake. But a figure was soon visible in the dying moonbeams. The figure removed the hood attached to the cape draped on their shoulders, revealing bright red hair.

"Veronica?" Harry said out loud.

A voice sweeter than anything he had ever heard in his life reached his ears.

"You can try and resist try to hide from my kiss
but you know but you know that you cn't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark I surrendered my heart
but you know but you know that you can't fight the moonlight no
You can't fight it...Its gonna get to your heart"

Something about the mournful voice that sang touched his heart and his very soul. A voice that was very very familiar to him but he just couldn't place from where...sighing he left the tower and returned to his room, wondering still why was Veronica out of bed at night?

The Next Day
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Harry felt the first game jitters until he put his Quidditch robes on. The familiar scarlett and gold held a calming agent in them that soothed his overwrought nerves. He joined the team in waiting for their announcement. Soon the game began and Harry forgot everything else, except HErmione's encouraging.

It was a quick victory, Gryffindor 180, Slytherien 20. All those of Slytherien HOuse once again renewed their hatred for the Gryffindors. The teams gathered to shake hand to formally end the match when a piercing shriek rang through the field. Silence enveloped them instantly. Seconds later Veronica came running on foot through the Quidditch field, being chased by a creature that none of them had ever seen. It was pink, with three heads and humoungus ears. It ran on all fours like a dog, but stood on its hind legs to attack with its poison spit. Veronica was running for dear life the thing close behind her. Harry saw his oppertunity and jumped on to his broom and was next to her in a moment. HE grabbed VEronica around the waist and hauled her onto His Firebolt with him, rising into the sky. Veronica was shaking so horribly that it was hard for harry to control the broomstick. HEr eyes were wide with terror and she was as pale as new snow. From beneath them they could hear the teachers containing the creature and calling for them to come down most urgently. Harry brought them down to a soft landing, but VEronica was still wide eyed. SHe looked at the creature with a steely gaze as it spit in retailiation at her. Her mouth bounced at the corners and she took a deep breath.

"NO!!!" screamed Sanpe as he rushed toward her, but it was to late. Veronica let off a series of notes, like any vocalists warm up scale. But it went to so many different tones and patterns that no one recognized it. The creature on the other hand squirmed uncomfortly as Veronica continured. Without warning a huge burst of light flew from Veronica's hand to the creature, obliterating it from all sight. The student body gave a very audible gasp at the power Veronica wielded anbd watched as she fainted dead away. Snape picked her up and carried her to the main building towards the Infirmary. Harry stood in shock, not realizing what happened. He lifted his gaze to the stands and saw Hermione, her hand over her mouth.

Voldemort chuckled as he felt Veronica's powers. His suspicions had been confirmed.

'Lucious, Its time to test this boy of yours. I need him to bring her to me."

Lucious Malfoy bowed his head and smiled. He knew that this would prove his family great. Draco joined forever with Voldemorts Heir. He smiled. Not even Dumbledore could stop them now.

"can't fight the moonlight belongs to LeAnne rimes and her people.
