Remus went down the great sweeping staircase meet Joshua, his date for the
ball. AS he descended he felt a strange feeling of disappointment, seeing
Joshua in a black tux and black mask. He had to stop himself from thinking
"how boring". Putting on a smile Remus greeted his date.
"You look really good," Joshua said. Linking arms they went into the great hall, Remus still smiling through his mouth, not his eyes.
The hall looked amazing, as per usual. The long house tables had been pushed aside and there was seating around the edges of the hall. The walls were dark and glittery and the hall had a midnight winter theme throughout. Blue fires in lanterns were on the tables and real fairies were flying around the ceiling. The sky was dark with bright stars, luckily with no moon to be seen.
James and Peter were already chatting to friends. But Remus couldn't help feeling like a traitor.
Your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
"Do you want to dance, Remus?" Joshua asked.
"Yeah, why not," The words slipped out so easily. And before Remus knew it, Joshua had whisked him onto the dance floor.
Adding the final touches to his eye makeup Sirius gazed at himself in the looking glass. His long, long dark hair shimmered in the starlight, half up half down. His lips had a blue tinge, like he had lost a lot of blood. "I've lost a lot of me," he thought to himself. Sirius picked up his top hat from the ground; he brushed off the little bits of dirt and placed it askew on his head. His loose baggy black jeans hung off him; living in the forbidden forest for 4 days makes you appreciate school meals. He conjured a mirror charm from his wand and examined himself. Hair half up half down, a black t-shirt with a decorative motif, baggy black jeans, top hat at a jaunty angle and a tight tails jacket.
"Looking good!" Sirius said to himself. Putting his black mask on he made his way out of the forest.
"I'm feeling a bit tired, I'm going to go and sit down." Remus said, and left Joshua to dance with his Ravenclaw friends.
Remus sauntered off and made his way to the balcony at the side of the hall. He needed some fresh air. Cleanse himself. Remus stared out into the night sky, looking at the stars.
"Hey, I wondered where you had got to," Came a voice from the doorway. Remus turned round and was greeted with a smiling James.
"Oh, hi James! Are you having a good time?"
"Yeah, but your not"
There was a short pause.
"Maybe we should go back inside Remus, its getting cold." James suggested.
"Yeah, I think so too"
The two boys made their way back into the great hall. The ball was now in full swing and nearly everyone was dancing. Swinging their partners round and round.
But suddenly the band stopped and a cold wind swept over the hall. The blue candles flickered and the students gasped. There was a loud roll of the thunder and the doors to the great hall swung open. Everybody's eyes turned to the door. And there, stood in the doorway, weight on one hip, a thin figure had appeared. The figure did a gracious bow and the music started once again, just as if nothing had happened.
Remus gasped. The hall suddenly seemed so much busier; everybody was on the dance floor dancing to a fast jazzy number. The hall started spinning, James and Peter were nowhere to be seen and all Remus wanted to do was to get to the boy at the door. People were laughing, getting in his way, Remus had to fight to get through. When Remus finally made it to the door, the figure was no longer there. Looking round, he saw the top of the figures hat bobbing up and down over in the centre of the dance floor. Remus pushed his way through,
"Hey Remus you wanna dance?" Joshua was in Remus' way, and Remus just pushed him aside. His wolf instinct was becoming more prominent. Hunting his prey.
Finally, Remus made his way to the centre of the hall and found what he was looking for. The mystic figure. The figure glanced at him and made a gracious bow. The band struck up a slow song and the dark figure moved towards the angel. Lightly holding Remus by the waist, the figure lead the angel in a waltz and headed for the balcony.
As they walked together the stars shone down on the couple. Remus turned to face the figure.
"Hello" the figure said. Reaching in his pockets, he brought out a cigarette, lighting it with the tip of his wand and figure cupped the angels face. Taking a drag,
"I'm sorry." And with the cigarette still in his mouth the angel and dark boy kissed.
"GET THAT FAG OUT OF YOUR MOUTH RIGHT THIS INSTANCE!" Shouted Joshua, from the doorway, striding over to the couple.
"Which one?" The figure answer with a smirk. Remus hit him lightly on the arm.
"I AM A PREFECT!" Joshua said firmly.
"Oh, lovely" And with that the angel and the dark boy kissed to the disgust of the Ravenclaw prefect.
James and Peter looked out from the Gryffindor common room window out onto the balcony below. Sirius and Remus were still there, in a strong embrace. Remus still had his wigs on, but the boys had taken off their masks. Sirius was tracing lines onto Remus' face with his fingers, and Remus was doing the same back to Sirius. Sirius' hat was lying next to the pair.
"You know, Sirius really does wear a strange array of clothing." Peter said, completely out of the blue.
"You look really good," Joshua said. Linking arms they went into the great hall, Remus still smiling through his mouth, not his eyes.
