Chapter 5

"Hi, I'm Nia Weasley and we are Death-Curse." She smiled into the mike. She started to play the first few notes and the crowd yelled so loud Nia had to stop playing. "Excuse me? Um if you get any louder you wont be able to here me play. Are you sure you want to be here? Maybe I should go." Nia turned on the ball of her foot, pretending to leave. "NO!" The crowd yelled in unison. Nia turned around and smiled. "Only if you insist." She said, still grinning a small, secret little grin. Then Death-Curse played with even more gusto. Nia strummed her guitar and sang into the mike "Can I graduate? Can I look into faces that I meet? Can I get my punk-ass off the street? I've been living on for so long. Can I graduate? To the bastard talking down to me Your whipping boy calamity Cross you fingers I'm going to knock it all down Can I graduate? Echo fading We can't let go She goes walking by in slow-mo' Sell you heart out for a buck Go on, fade out Before I get stuck Talking to somebody like you Do you live the days you go through? Will this song live on long after we do? Can I graduate? Can I look into faces that I meet? Can I get my punk-ass of the street? Won't die on the vine I wanna knock it all down Can I graduate? Echo fading Candle blow Did you flash out long ago? Cross my fingers I DON'T KNOW Someone poked you down below Can I graduate? Can I get my punk-ass of the street? Can I look into faces that I meet? I'm not waiting here for you to die Will this song live on long after we do?"

Nia sang the next song and Alec sang three songs after that, then Nia sang for the rest of the night. At one o'clock Nia and Alec sang a duet and finished for the night. The crowd didn't look the least bit tired but Nia needed to go home and sleep. They were already on their third and last encore. "Thank you." She said sweetly. Draco looked up at her admiringly and she kicked him two back stage passes and winked. Draco gasped and handed the extra pass to Blaise. The crowd thinned out and left and Draco and Blaise headed backed stage. They flashed the passes to some security officers and walked by then the heard a loud crash coming from behind a door. "You son of a bitch! I don't need this right know! You know that! Valor curse it, get the fuck out of the goddam band if you have a problem with him! I can't believe you're such a bigot! And an ass! And a goddam homophobe! LEAVE NOW!

The voice sound female and suspiously like the voice that graced Draco's dreams. Looks like Virgina had a bit of a temper. Just then, the drummer of Death Curse stormed out of the room, looking extremely pissed off. "I don't wanna be in a band with any of you goodam supernatural queers anyway!" he yelled. "FUCK YOU!" Nia yelled back. And a dirty mouth too. Draco and Blaise walked cautiously into the dressing room. Nia was lying sprawled out on a frumpy looking sofa with her eyes closed. She was mumbling to herself. Draco cleared his throat and Nia opened one eye. She sat up quickly and blushed. "I'm really sorry you guys had to see that. I assure you I'm not always such a stereotypical premaddona. We usually get along very well, but we have some unresolved issues with Jordan." "Yeah, like him being a fucking homophobe, the jackass. Its not like I was gonna hit on him or that my homosexuality was gonna rub off on him." Said a voice from behind Draco and Blaise. They turned around and saw Alec coming in through the door. Nia laughed and said. "This means we're gonna need a new drummer. Damn it, and they are so hard to find. No one listens to the classics anymore, ya know? Everyone just wants to be some other punk band. No one just wants to rock out." She trailed off a bit at the end of her sentence. "Mithros, I'm sorry I'm rambling. How did you guys like the concert?" Draco and Blaise stared at Nia in a dumbfound kind of way, with there mouths opening and closing like fish out of water. Draco and Blaise had just recently learned a few new things: Alec Avis (whom Blaise had had a crush on sense 5th year) was gay. (Which is good news for Blaise) Virginia Weasley had the exact same music rant that Blaise and Draco had Virginia Weasley swears by gods Draco has never even heard of. "Your concert was amazing." Draco finally said. But amazing couldn't even begin to describe some of the songs they sang. Several people were moved to tears in a few if the songs. "Thank you, we do try." Nia replied. "You can sit down if you'd like." Draco and Blaise plopped down on to the couch. This girl was getting to be a bit to weird to handle. She should fit in with Blaise and Draco perfectly.

AN Yeah! Love this chappie to pieces. The song isnt mine. Its called "Can I Graduate" by Third Eye Blind. They rock me. Download the song. Erm.Harry Potter belongs to me not. Mithros belongs to Tamora Pierce (did you know I met her once, at a book signing. The greatest moment of my life. She rules. She anwerd my questions and signed my book. AND I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP!!!!! Ask me bout it if you feel the need, I like to brag.) Wow, got a little off subject there. Maybe if people review I'll post another chappie.
