"One of Us"

George just told me about his idea to make Krystyn smile (she said it was O.K. for me to call her that... especially since I can't spell her name.). I think it's a great idea, and very sweet. I wonder why he cares so much about making her happy. Maybe, just maybe, he fancies her. She seems to be getting along with everyone great, but she seems to be getting along the best with Ginny. After the talent show, she will really be one of us.

"One of Us"

Molly just informed me of the talent show. I have decided to sing two songs, "Piece of You" and "Shooting Star" for the show. I hope I don't mess up and make a fool of myself. I'll write down everything, so I never forget everything the Weasleys have done for me. The talent show is in an hour.

I'm scared. Real scared, so I'll go talk to Fred, George, or Ginny, whoever I see first.

I saw Ginny first. She wanted to know why I thought I'd make a fool of myself. Here is how the conversation went:

Ginny: Why are you so nervous?

Krystyn: I don't wanna make a fool of myself. I am scared I will mess up or that you won't like my songs.

Ginny: You have a gift, Krystynnia, a gift. You write these beautiful songs and the emotion is so thick in those songs that you couldn't cut it with a jackhammer. You sing like an angel. Not the happiest angel, mind you, but still an angel. I'm glad you came here. You're like the big sister I never had.

Krystyn: Thanks ,Ginny. Wanna help me practice?

Ginny: Sure, even though you don't need it!

So we practiced for 15 minutes or so, until Arthur came to say it was time. These decorations are wonderful! I stepped outside, and since I was wearing a very low-cut pink tank top and a khaki miniskirt, I was freezing. George offered me his coat. He's so sweet!



Arthur went first, juggling bowling pins. Very entertaining. Then, Fred and George did a stand-up comedy routine, which made me truly smile for the first time in two weeks. Molly and Ginny did a tap dancing routine to the song, "Rock Around The Clock". It was all so amusing, that I almost forgot about how nervous I was. Percy, who was announcing and introducing, finally motioned me up to the stage. "Accio keyboard," I called to summon my keyboard. "I'm going to sing a song I wrote called "Piece of You". I hope you like it!". I cleared my throat and played a few scales and I began to sing:

I know you're not always where I am

but you're with me always

When fear backs me against the walls

I see you, and I'm not afraid.

Even if you're taken away

I will cry for a couple of days,

But in my heart there will always remain

a piece of you

Pieces of you keep me alive

when I've no will to live,

no will to fight.

Pieces of you can keep me holding on

when I am broken,

and my energy's gone.

I'm never alone,

never alone...

When I'm inside out

and I can't see

I've got a piece of you

inside of me

and when the world is hard to bear

You come around and throw away my every care

and when life's not fair

I can find you anywhere

Pieces of you keep me alive

when I've no will to live

no will to fight.

Pieces of you can keep me holding on

when I am broken,

when my energy is gone.

I'm never alone.........

I am not alone.....

I don't know

what I would do

in a world without you.

And I don't know

how to breathe

when the air's not made of you..........

Pieces of you...

na na na la la

Keep me alive

la la la la la

When I don't want to live

When I don't want to fight

I'm never alone......

I'm never alone ...... (medium)

I'm never alone (barely audible and fading)

I'm....... never........ alone!

Ginny screamed and clapped loudly, along with Molly, Arthur, Percy, Fred, Ron, Bill, and Charlie.

George clapped loudly as well, but he also whistled and screamed for an encore!
