Oliver walked to the table where Sirius and Harry were sitting and chatting.

"Erm, can I ask you guys a question?" asked Oliver, blushing.

"Sure," said Harry.

"IwantoaskStaceytomarryme, isthatokaywithyouguys?" he asked in one breath.

"WHAT!" yelled Sirius and the same time Harry said, "Sure,"

"What's all the yelling about?" Stacey asked, walking up and yelling in a whisper.

"Nothing," said Sirius, eyeing Oliver.

"You better take care of her," is what Sirius's dark eyes said.

Oliver went to find James.

"James? I was wondering if I have your blessing in asking Stacey to marry me?" asked Oliver in a formal tone.

James shuddered.

"My baby is all grown up!" said James.

"She is," agreed Oliver.

"Fine. You better take care of her," he said threateningly.

Oliver nodded and went to find Stacey.

Cedric was sitting at the back of the Great Hall, thinking of how beautiful Cylia would be if she were here.

His thoughts were interrupted as the doors opened and a girl walked in, about 5'7 in a half with dark red hair.

Her outfit was like an Egyptian princess.

Her choker on her neck was golden and it had chains that went down her arms, connecting with the golden cuffs around her wrists.

Her mask was golden and her hair was curly and in a half ponytail on the top of her head.

She walked past everyone without glancing at anybody.

She stepped onto the stage and murmured a spell that caused music to start playing.

Everyone looked up as she began to sing:

"Walking through time looking for an answer

How can it be this way

What have I done

I just can't help but wonder

How everything could change"

Cedric looked up at this woman who had a very lovely voice.

Couples were swaying to the music.

"'Cause you have turned my world around

Since you came along, no

After this love was found it seems like we can't go on"

Cedric thought about how much this song reminded him of Cylia.

He got even more depressed at the thought.

"Deep in my heart

I know there's only you

And right from the start I always knew

I never let go

'Cause love you so

Ohhoohh I want you for the rest of my life.

Some people search what seems to be a lifetime

To find a love like this

And here we are

With everything we wished for

I never felt such bliss"

Cedric was wondering how anybody could have such a beautiful voice to match such a beautiful song.

"'Cause you have turned my world around

Since you came along, no

After this love was found it seems like we can't go on

Deep in my heart

I know there's only you

And right from the start I always knew

I never let go

'Cause love you so

Ohhoohh I want you for the rest of my life.

Some people search what seems to be a lifetime

To find a love like this

And here we are

With everything we wished for

I never felt such bliss"

Cedric felt somehow connected to this girl.

"There comes a chance in everyone's life

And I believe it won't happen twice

Now since I've felt the glory of love

I want spend forever

(And ever with you).

Deep in my heart

I know there's only you

And right from the start I always knew

I never let go

'Cause love you so

Ohhoohh I want you for the rest of my life.

Some people search what seems to be a lifetime

To find a love like this

And here we are

With everything we wished for

I never felt such bliss

Deep in my heart

I know there's only you

And right from the start I always knew

I never let go

'Cause love you so

Ohhoohh I want you for the rest of my life.

Some people search what seems to be a lifetime

To find a love like this

And here we are

With everything we wished for

I never felt such bliss"

The girl stepped of the stage and made her way towards Cedric and didn't continue singing till she was right in front of him, face-to-face.

"Deep in my heart

Deep in my heart

I want you for the rest of my life

I want you for the rest of my life"

She slowly removed her mask.

This mysterious singer just so happened to be the one and only Cylia Kasandea Riddle.

(HERMIONE AND RON DURING CYLIA'S SINGING)

"This is a beautiful song," said Hermione.

"I guess," said Ron, being a guy, didn't notice how a song could be 'beautiful'.

"I wonder what Cedric is thinking," she mused.

"Don't know," said Ron distractedly, looking at Hermione.

"Ron?" asked Hermione.

No reply.

"Ron?" asked Hermione a little louder.

"RON!" snapped Hermione.

Ron snapped out of his reverie and looked at her more alive.

"Huh? What?" asked Ron stupidly.

"Are you paying attention to what I'm saying?" she asked.

"No, I'm too mesmerized with the girl I'm dancing with," he said.

She blushed.

"Oh really?" she asked, leaning closer.

"Yes, really," he said and closed the gap between them.

"Where's the barf bag!?" asked Ginny, who just arrived on the dance floor with Harry.

"Shut up," said Ron.

Harry sniggered.

Ron got an idea in his head.

He walked up to Harry and started dancing with his sister so Harry couldn't dance with Ginny.

"You suck," said Ginny, giggling none the less.

"Care to share a dance?" asked Hermione.

Harry nodded and started dancing with Hermione, who was like a sister to him.

"For a long time I was in love

Not only in love, I was obsessed

With a friendship that no one else could touch

It didn't work out, I'm covered in shells

And all I wanted was the simple things

A simple kind of life

And all I needed was a simple man

So I could be a wife

I'm so ashamed, I've been so mean

I don't know how it got to this point

I always was the one with all the love

You came along, I'm hunting you down

Like a sick domestic abuser looking for a fight

And all I wanted was the simple things

A simple kind of life

If we met tomorrow for the very first time

Would it start all over again?

Would I try to make you mine?

I always thought I'd be a mom

Sometimes I wish for a mistake

The longer that I wait the more selfish that I get

You seem like you'd be a good dad

Now all those simple things are simply too complicated for my life

How'd I get so faithful to my freedom?

A selfish kind of life

When all I ever wanted was the simple things

A simple kind of life" - No Doubt "Simple kind of Life"
