Chapter 11
I sat in my room for hours and I cried. I couldn't find my photo album. I put a silencing charm around my bed and everything was quiet. No Mab or McGonagall asking questions. All of a sudden the bed shook. I just sat there in my pajamas confused. Something slipped through the curtain behind me and I froze not wanting to know what it was. Arms wrapped tightly around m y waist and I screamed even though I know with the silencing charm no one would hear.
I couldn't fight, when I closed my eyes and someone claimed my lips with theirs. The kiss was sweet and passionate; my fear and screams were slowly drowned out. He broke the kiss and I opened my eyes; it was Percy. He grinned at me and winked, my heart was pounding faster than ever before and I grinned, happier than I thought I could ever be.
Percy looked at me then stated, "Umm Dwyn, You know how the Halloween Ball is coming up?" I nodded still wordless after the kiss. "I was wondering if," he stopped for a second, "if your band would perform." I must've looked let down but I nodded. Now other questions came into mind. 'What am I going to wear? Who am I going to go with? What would Dumbledore think of our kind of music?'
I decided that with one trip I could figure out two of these questions if I went to Dumbledore. I was walking along the hallway towards the headmaster's office when there was a loud sound behind me; my arms and legs stiffened together and I fell to the ground. I heard a snort from two boys and noticed the third one grinned longingly.
"Great," I thought, "what do they want?" The two gorillas pulled me into an empty room and threw me on a desk and Malfoy sat on my legs. "No where to run and no where to hide precious." I blinked and rolled my eyes laughing only to be stopped by a realization Malfoy was not playing around. Just when Draco was about to smack me for laughing someone else's voice cut in sharp, "What is going on?"
Draco ignored it and slapped me so hard my face was stinging and I had to bite my lip making it bleed so I wouldn't cry or scream. "Malfoy!" The man screamed again and this time he looked up. Professor Snape looked so mad that Malfoy actually fell off the desk. Snape removed the spell and I could move again. I was so happy I could cry. Meanwhile Snape was giving Malfoy a lecture, took points off, and was going to write to his mother. If I wasn't so happy and mad at the same time I could've laughed.
Malfoy and his friends ran from the room. I got up and stretched and I saw Snape watching me with sadness on his face. I ran and hugged him, whispering, "Thank you," and let go. He looked shocked and he nodded before leaving the room. I left the room and continued on my way to Dumbledore's office. My mind was twisting with fear and anger at the boys, confusion and curiosity for Snape, and then the questions about the band for Dumbledore I was starting to get a bad migraine as I walked up to the statue and stated, "Puddin."
The statue moved out of the way and I found Dumbledore. "Welcome," he started, "I was expecting you miss Andraste." I nodded and sat down. "May I begin," he questioned and I nodded with respect. "First off, I know you're band just happened to shrink your instruments and brought them. Then I have also heard your type of music before. Punk, I believe it's called. I allow you to play it and if the students enjoy it you may be playing it more often."
I looked up and nodded in shock. "Furthermore, dress how you like. After all, it is a costume dance and a bit of advice, even if you believe someone wants to say something but cant, be patient and the truth will come." I nodded and went back to the common room. The band will have to have a meeting and since Lilia is in Slytherin will have to meet in private. Since Hermione was one of the smartest people I had ever known, I asked her how we could possibly use our equipment without electricity and she put a spell on each of them so they would work without power. We had asked Dumbledore if we could practice after dinner in one of the empty classrooms and he agreed. We moved all of our mini sized equipment into our pockets and went off to dinner grinning from ear to ear.
