Chapter 2

The Golden Trio stared at the entrance of the Hall, bewildered at their new friend's quick exit. Hermione then got up and told them that they should enjoy the rest of their dinner and that she would go find Melody and find out what was wrong. The boys did what they were told and went back to there quidditch conversation.

Hermione quickly ran out into the corridor to see Melody round the corner. She followed her and found her in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. Melody was practically hyper ventilating from her close call.

Melody's POV*~*~*~*~*~*~*

'Oh my gosh, what was I thinking? I could have blown my whole cover. I don't need all this stress right now! What am I going to do? I can't hide forever. I need someone to talk to.'

*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~**

Melody was on the verge of tears when she heard faint footsteps coming her way. Hermione knocked on the stall door and asked,"are you okay Melody?"

"Yes, I'll be okay."

"Are you sure? Because you know you can always talk to me about anything."

Melody thought about this for a second. Could she really trust Hermione? She slowly opened the stall door and stepped out. Melody looked Hermione straight in the eyes. What she saw was sincerity and caring. Melody was shocked because no one had truly ever cared for her. Everyone had only acted that way to get something out of her. She sighed deeply and asked, "can you keep a secret?" Hermione slowly nodded, confused as to why she needed to keep a secret. Melody and asked, "Promise?" Hermione stated with her utmost sincerity, " Of course."

Melody sighed again and began,"Have you ever heard of a Siren? They are most commonly found in Greek Mythology. "

Hermione nodded in understanding and quoted," Sirens: sea nymphs with the gift of extraordinary beauty and the voices able to lure men to their dooms."

Melody nodded sadly at the last part of her description. "So both you and your sister are sirens?," Hermione asked hesitantly. Melody nodded and corrected," Half sirens; my sister and I are only half sirens."

"Half sirens? How could you be only half sirens?"

"My mother is a full blooded siren but my father is a wizard."

Hermione nodded and thought about what Melody had just said. " If your only half sirens then do both of you have all the gifts or what?"

"My sister obviously has the beauty of a siren but I, unfortunately, have the legendary voice and song."

"Why unfortunately?"

"What Professor Dumbledore said about my sister and I being transfer students was a lie. We did go to California's School for Magical Sea and Land Beings but we had to come here because I had gotten expelled." Melody blushed when she talked about her expulsion.

"Why did u get expelled?" Hermione asked.

" Well.....it wasn't entirely my fault. How was I supposed to know that pipes led from the bathroom to every single room and office in the school?"asked Melody still blushing.

"Huh?"asked Hermione intelligently.

~*~*~Flashback*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*

Melody ran into the bathroom sobbing.'Why couldn't I have been the pretty one?" she asked herself. For the third time that day, someone had reminded her that she was not at all up to her sister's standards of beauty. And they were not exactly kind about it either.

"Sometimes I wish I could go against my word to the Headmaster and just sing to them just once to prove I can be something other then the smart girl who's related to Anna," she told no one in particular.

Without thinking, she started to sing, the words would sound like gibberish if anyone else had sung them, but the words sounded perfect coming from her mouth. It wasn't really the words that mattered, but the rise and fall of her voice. It was a haunting tune that no one could possibly forget easily.

By the time Melody had finished singing, every boy at California's School for Magical Sea and Land Beings had fallen in love with her. She was unaware of the change at the time. But as she walked out of the corridor and into the dining hall that was similar to the Great Hall, she was flooded with questions asking "Would you consider going out with me" or, if the guy was a little more extreme, "Will you marry me".

Melody enjoyed the attention for a full five minutes, until she saw all the girls glaring at her, though not as much as Anna, who was giving her death glares. She quickly felt guilty, but felt even worse when the Headmaster asked her to step into her office after dinner.

Dinner was suddenly disgusting and the boys' offers seemed unimportant. To say the least, dinner was a nightmare. When it was over, Melody was both relieved and apprehensive.

When the moment finally came for her to see the headmaster, she got up from her seat and slowly walked out into the corridor and to the office. The Headmaster was waiting for her when she reached her office.

Professor Morgan was a short little witch that looked like a much smaller and woman version of Professor Dumbledore. She looked at Melody sadly before she told her to sit down. Melody looked up and knew instantly that she was in big trouble. "Ms. Moon, I'm sorry to inform you that you are to pack your bags and leave this school," Professor Morgan said in a professional tone of voice. She then switched her voice to a gentler tone and said," I'm so sorry Melody but you broke your promise. It could be months before your song can be forgotten by the student male population of this school. You are just lucky that you are only a half-blooded siren or else you would have affected our male teachers as well. I already told your father about this and he will be here to pick you up at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. "

Melody walked back to her dorm and plopped down on the bed and started to cry her eyes out. She didn't mean to sing. She was just upset, and singing always seemed to make her feel better. She finally got up after crying for an hour and slowly started to pack her stuff.

~*~*~ End of Flashback~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Melody sighed at the memory. "What happened after that?," asked Hermione. "Well, I was picked up the next morning like the headmaster said and I was brought home for the rest of the school year. It's a good thing it was only one month till summer started," Melody answered.

"So, was Anna also expelled for something?"

" No, of course not, Anna is an angel on earth compared to me. She just came here because my dad got a new job at the Ministry of Magic and we had to move.

"Oh, ok. I'm sorry for everything you had to go through"

"Thank you Hermione. I think I'm ready to back to dinner. I wouldn't want to keep you away from Ron."

Melody and Hermione walked to the Great Hall talking like they had been friends forever. And remarkably, dinner was still going on when they arrived.
