"Students, your class has been canceled for today. It seems that Firenze does not feel like showing up today for reasons I'm not of liberty to say. Enjoy your free time. Now go," she said as she walked out of the classroom door.
The class walked out of the room, excited to have a free period. Ginny and Colin decided to go to the library to catch up on some studying. They walked along the corridors, the younger years looking up at them.
The library was barren of life, except for the few geeks who practically live in the library, Hermione for example. Colin and Ginny chose a table next to a window overlooking the lake. Ginny didn't even bother opening her bag, she knew she would never study. Colin was looking at the window, looking extremely bored. Ginny perked up when she suddenly had the greatest idea.
"Colin, want to have a little fun?" Ginny asked. Colin raised his eyebrow, and with a mischievous look answered, "What kind of fun?"
"Breaking at least a hundred school rules and not going to get caught type of fun!" Ginny answered.
"I'm in," was all Colin said as he slammed his chair back and ran from the library, Ginny not too far behind.
They reached the Gryfinndor common room and raced to the boys dormitories. Colin opened the door to his room and raced around to find the one thing he was looking for, his base guitar, and placed a shrinking charm on his amps. Now, normally these things wouldn't work at Hogwarts, but Ginny didn't say they were going to do anything IN school. Ginny just said they would be breaking many school rules.
Ginny raced into her own dormitory to change into a new outfit. She pulled her hair back into a messy ponytale and curled her her so it looked frizzy but stylish. She chose a skin tight black undershirt and a black peasant skirt to wear and finished the outfit off with putting on her black dragon hide boots that Charlie had given her last Christmas.
Colin was waiting down in the common room for Ginny, his guitar in his hands, and thinking, "Why does it take girls so bloody long to get ready? I don't get it." And right at that exact moment, Ginny emerged from the stairs, looking absolutely gorgeous. "Wait, I did not just call my best friend gorgeous!" Colin argued with himself.
Ginny, while getting dressed, had somehow sneaked into Harry's bedroom and "borrowed" his invisibility cloak.
"Ok, you've gotten me all excited, now where are we going?" Colin asked.
"We, my friend, whom I love so dearly, are going to go to a Battle of the Bands, which just happens to be taking place today. Consider this a surprise, I've been planning it since last year. And there is no need to worry, you already know the song we are going to play by heart." Ginny finished, looking excited.
"Are you serious? Where are the other people in the band? And what are we going to call ourselves?" Colin asked, looking nervous.
"Yes, I'm serious, and the band I've arranged is going to meet us there in half an hour. And we will call ourselves... The Shadows."
"Oh," was all Colin said as he followed Ginny out of the common room, underneath Harry's invisibility cloak.
"May I ask how you know your way around muggle London so well?" Colin asked.
"What can I say? I'm the queen of sneaking out of places and I always come here. The city fascinates me." Ginny answered, looking for the building where the Battle of the Bands would take place. She spotted it on the corner of the street they were walking on and raced over to it. The line was long to get in, but Ginny knew how to get in from the back door. Frank, the security guard, let her in, knowing she was one of the contestants.
The crowd was screaming and The Shadow was the next band that was supposed to go on. Ginny's hand shook with nervousness and she tried hard not to forget the song she had to sing.
The announcer came on and introduced them. There was loud cheering as the crowd waited anxiously for the band to play.
Ginny stood in front of the microphone, and waited for the rest of her band to get set up. Once they were, Colin started playing the first few notes of the song and Ginny began to sing...
"I tried to kill the pain, but only brought more, so much more,
I lay dying
And I am pouring crimson regret and betrayal
I'm dying, praying, bleeding, and screaming
Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?
My god, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My god, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
Do you remember me?
Lost for so long
Will you be on the other side
Or will you forget me
I'm dying, praying, bleeding, and screaming
Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?
My god my tourniquet
Return to me slavation
My god, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My wounds cry for the grave
My soul cries for deliverance
Will I be denied, Christ
Tourniguet
My suicide"
Ginny's voice echoed around the music hall, and people stood there in awe, and already knew who had one the competition. As Ginny looked out over the crowd, she spotted a familiar face, one she never thought she would see in muggle London.
Back at school, Ginny and Colin were dancing around the common room.
"Oh my god! That was so much fun!" Ginny screamed, excited that they had won the Battle of the Bands. Colin was at a loss for words, and all he could do was smile foolishly.
Dinner that night in the Great Hall was quite uneventful until Ginny received a letter flown in by an eagle owl. She put the letter in her pocket, guessing who it was from by the expensive parchment it was written on. She left the Great Hall and walked to her dormitory so she could read her letter in private so her nosey roomates wouldn't try to read it.
The letter read...
What is it with me and cliffhangers? Why do i like them so much? Well you will just have to find out who the letter is from in the next chapter and maybe find out who the mystery person was in the hospital wing. Please review! I won't update until I have at least 10 new reviews! I'm not asking much, just review and make me happy. Sorry this chapter was so short. I think i have the flu and I have a terrible headache so it would cause me great pain to continue this story right now. Once again, please review!
