During the past few weeks Catalina and Riley had been having nightly meetings. Her mother had been helping her cope with the painful process of having her wings grow back. They were fully grown and she had been using a charm to conceal them and make them non-solid. Riley took off the charm. Her wings were a beautiful faded gold.

At the ball..................................................
"Welcome everyone! I'm glad you came! We have two new bands playing tonight! First, may I introduce the Marauders!" Albus said.
The Marauders trooped up on stage. The majority of females in the audience began screaming loudly and in general going insane. "Luck everyone." Peter said.
"We've already got most of them on our side." Muttered Sirius.
"I can't do this." Remus whispered.
"You'll be great." James said as they started up the first song.
Remus took the microphone, but it was plain to see the poor werewolf was nervous.
(James, Peter, and Sirius: **It starts with**)
Remus:
**One thing / I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below**
Sirius: **Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on / but didn't even know
Wasted it all just to
Watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried
so hard
And got so far**
Sirius; Remus;
**But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter**
James:
**One thing / I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so (far)
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me**
All:
**In the end
You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter**
Remus: **I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
There's only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go**
Peter: **And for all this
There's only one thing you should know**
All: **I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall

But in the end

The trio that was One Galaxy Treasure walked in, catching every guy's eye as they did.
"Is Potter supposed to be Merlin? He needs gray hair." Lily said evilly putting a charm on James' hair. Shockingly, with silvery hair James did resemble Merlin, but also, Dumbledore! It seemed though, that Riley was the only one to notice this. Looking between the two she grew increasingly confused. "Riley?" Rebecca asked.
"Lily. Put a beard on him." She requested.
Lily did so. Then she and Rebecca saw it. "OH MY GOD!!" Lily took the charm off. "What in the name of......."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~********************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***************
Remus while singing was scanning the crowd of students looking for Riley. He found her easily; his eyes widened when he saw her. She look amazing..............................there was no way to describe it, except maybe an angel. More like a hell's angel with the outfit. Remus almost laughed out loud.
James: **I'll never take part in the growing population
or waste my time with further education.
Forget what we know it's just a big show
what they want to control,
so jaded frustrated; it's all so complicated.
Fashion no passion surrounds me.**
Sirius: **All I know is
I've heard this all before
reality's a bore.
You ask me to believe in something fake.
Well I can't bring myself to
do what you want me to.
This is who we are and
nothing's going to change.
Nothing's going to change.**
Remus:
**I won't take part in the businessman illusion,
I'll take my chances in the real world confusion.
Don't blame us who do we trust
when they're so dishonest.
No patience this nation's obsessed with exploitation.
lying denying surrounds me.**
Sirius:
**All I know is
I've heard this all before
reality's a bore.
You ask me to believe in something fake,
well I can't bring myself to

Peter: **This is who we are and

Sirius; **Don't think you can ignore us.
Don't tell me that we're to blame.
Don't pick our future for us.
or act like we're the same.**
All;
**All I know is
I've heard this all before
reality's a bore.
You ask me to believe in something fake,
well I can't bring myself to

This is who we are and

Thanks for nothing,
I've heard this all before
thanks for nothing,

Thanks for nothing,
it'll never be the same.
Thanks for nothing,
and nothing's gonna change**

Sirius happened to note that Rebecca was Cat Woman. They were meant to be! Wait................................she-had-the-same-eyes-as-the- cat!! Luckily the Marauders were taking a 5-minute break at this time and behind the curtain when Sirius sank in the floor in a dead faint.
~~~~~~~~~~*********************************************************~~~~~~~~~
"Padfoot? Padfoot?!" Remus was shaking him. Sirius leapt to his feet. Him and his stupid emotions! Now she knew!
"I'm ok. I'm cool, I'm good." Sirius said as he grabbed his drumsticks.
"You sure?" James asked. Sirius nodded. Remus gave him a look that said that they'd talk later.
~~~~~*************~~~~~~~~~~***************~~~~~~~~~~~~~***************
Rebecca had been off dancing with a different guy every song, leaving Lily and Riley some time to talk. One boy in particular, Jason Dimari (Slytherin) had been bugging Riley to dance all night. Finally, however, she gave in to get him to shut up.
"You don't mind, do you, Lily?" she asked her eyes pleading with Lily to say that she did. Lily just smiled and told her to go. Lily always had hated balls, boys asked her to them of course, but she hated them with a passion.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*********************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***************
James saw Lily sitting by herself. Why wasn't she dancing? "Let's do 'Shy Girl'." James whispered to the others who nodded. James had actually written this for Lily.
James:
**Shy shy girl Shy Girl Yeah, Yeah Standing with the wallflowers Wishing you would've stayed at home You kick yourself for coming When you're standing there all alone The centers of attention are busy making all their moves Oh Girl... While all the guys are lookin Then I got my eye on you **
Remus:
**Only you**
James: **You might think you're nothing special You might be losing hope But baby don't you realize How beautiful you really are **
All:
**Shy girl It's written on your face A mermaid out of water Feeling out of place Shy girl Tryin to hide her blush Caught you looking for a second Felt my heart rush Don't run away Don't be afraid Don't be shy girl So beautiful Shy shy girl**
James:
**I'm moving in closer Slowing trying to break the ice Shy shy girl But it's hard to get a lot on your downward glancing eyes Oh yeah
You might think you're nothing special But I'm about to lose my heart Baby don't you realize How beautiful you really are**
All:
**Shy girl It's written on your face A mermaid out of water Feeling out of place Shy girl Tryin to hide her blush Caught you looking for a second Felt my heart rush Don't run away Don't be afraid Don't be shy girl So beautiful Shy shy girl**
James: **Now I'm standing right in front of you I confess I'm nervous too Girl you know there's something going on And not to give it a chance Would be so wrong Oh baby**
During this verse James went over to Lily, took her hand and began to dance with her. At this point Remus and Sirius took over the song.
All:
**Shy girl It's written on your face A mermaid out of water Feeling out of place Shy girl Tryin to hide a blush Pretending that there's nothing between the two of us Don't run away Don't be afraid Don't be shy girl
Shy girl It's written on your face A mermaid out of water Feeling out of place Shy girl Tryin to hide her blush Caught you looking for a second Felt my heart rush Don't run away Don't be afraid Don't be shy girl So beautiful Shy shy girl**
Sirius:
**Hey girl Don't be shy girl Don't run away Shy shy girl**
Remus:
**Oh baby I'm looking at you Come a little closer**
Peter; *spoken~
Shy, Shy Shy girl
***********~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~****************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*********
"So why do you hang out with all those mudbloods?" Jason asked.
"Take that back." Riley hissed as her temper flared up.
Jason tightened his grip on her waist. "Ok but on one condition."
"Meaning?" Before Riley even finished speaking Jason leaned in and kissed her. He was much stronger than she was, and that was saying a lot. He was three times her size, and she couldn't get loose.
****************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**********************~~~~~~~~~~~~*** **
Remus was singing in that direction and almost dropped his microphone. Who was that macho guy Riley was kissing? He turned away quickly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*******************~~~~~~~~~~***************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Riley was livid, she kneed Jason in the groin then kicked him to the ground. Jason jumped up and ran after her.
"Hey! Get back here! I was just getting started!"
Riley used a well-placed banishing charm and Jason Dimari ended up in China. Bad things happened when Riley got mad....................... Fortunately Jason apparated to Hogsmede and got back to Hogwarts in 20 minutes.
**********~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~****************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**********
Rebecca game to sit down and wait for the other girls as it was almost their time to sings. Lily was there has well having just finished dancing with James. "Where's Riley?" Rebecca inquired."
"Probably on her way here."
**************************************************************************** ***
Malfoy happened to be detaining Riley from getting to her band mates. "You know, if you had just taken my offer, no one would be able to touch you, with the exception of me of course." He said smirking suggestively.
"Urgh!" She pushed Malfoy aside and went to her friends.
*************************************~~~************************************ *******
"Thank you Marauders!" Albus said. Everyone applauded. "And now........... Let's hear it for One Galaxy Treasure!" he continued.
The girl walked up receiving, whistles, catcalls and yells. None of the girls showed nervousness in anyway.
All: **nah nah nah**
Lily: **dirty black clothes A spider creeping up the wall Moldy pizza Sits where I left it on the floor
What is that breeze upon my face? How did you invade my space? **
All:
**You hit me It all turns to sunshine Dirty sunshine You walked in It all turns to sunshine Dirty sunshine I slammed the door And it shut the blends Dirty sunshine**
Riley;
**I feel like shit now But I don't mind Cuz its that time again I'm in my sweat pants And I'm a mess Don't want to let you in Cuz sweetness gives me cavities You're all i don't want to be**
All:
**You hit me It all turns to sunshine Dirty sunshine You walked in It all turns to sunshine Dirty sunshine I slammed the door And it shut the blends Dirty sunshine**
Rebecca;
**I don't wanna run in Your merry go round Stop picking me up When i want to be down Smash my nails on the floor And i'm not gonna say What's that breeze upon my face? How did you invade my space? Yoouuu You walked in and it all shines bright**
All:
**You walked in It all turns to sunshine Dirty sunshine You hit me It all turns to sunshine Dirty sunshine I slammed the door And it shut the blends Dirty sunshine
You walked in and it all turns bright Sunshine Dirty sunshine**
"Ok, they're pretty good!" admitted Sirius; the other three nodded their approval.
Riley;
**I AM: I'M ME
WHO ARE YOU TO LOOK DOWN
AT WHAT I BELIEVE?
I'M ON TO YOUR THINKING
AND HOW YOU DECEIVE
WELL, YOU CAN'T ABUSE ME
I WON'T STAND NO MORE
YES, I KNOW THE REASONS
YES, I KNOW THE SCORE**
All;
**I AM, AND I'LL BE
I WILL, YOU'LL SEE
I AM, AND I'LL BE
I AM: I'M ME**
Riley;
**HOW I TRIED TO PLEASE YOU
LIVE THE WAY YOU SAID
DO THE THINGS THAT YOU DO
LIKE THE LIVING DEAD
THEN THE TRUTH IT HIT ME
GOT ME OFF MY KNEES
IT'S MY LIFE I'M LIVING
I'LL LIVE AS I PLEASE**
All;
**I AM, AND I'LL BE
I WILL, YOU'LL SEE
I AM, AND I'LL BE
I AM: I'M ME**
Lily;
**NOW'S THE TIME TO STAND TALL
START YOUR LIFE ANEW**
Rebecca;
**FREEDOM LIES IN YOUR HEART
NOW'S THE TIME FOR YOU**
All:
**I AM, AND I'LL BE
I WILL, YOU'LL SEE
I AM, AND I'LL BE
I AM: I'M ME
I AM, I'M ME
I AM, I'M ME
CAN'T YOU SEE?, CAN'T YOU SEE?
I'M ME, I'M ME, ME, ME, ME, ME
I AM: I'M ME
I AM: I'M ME
CAN'T YOU SEE?, CAN'T YOU SEE?
I'M ME, I'M ME, I'M ME
I AM: I'M ME
I AM: I'M ME
CAN'T YOU SEE THAT I'M ME
I'M ME, I'M ME, LOOK AT ME
I AM: I'M ME I AM: I'M ME**
Remus, however, was going to find out whom that guy was that Riley had kissed. Remus had never been jealous of anything until now. He slipped away from his friends and began to search.
James noticed but didn't say anything. This was something Remus needed to do himself.
Sirius was starting at Rebecca as if in a trance, mortified yet impressed. She was an illegal animagus to whom he had told his secrets. Hopefully, she forgot. Oh bloody hell! How could she forget? So complex........
************************************~~~************************************* *
Remus ran into Snape, or Snape ran into him. Either way there was a collision. "Watch it, Wolf boy!"
"Lay off, Snape." Remus walked off trying to avoid a fight. The last week or two ago, Sirius told Snape how to get into the Whomping Willow as a prank. Remus was livid, but with true grace and Remus-style told him not to hurt him, his trust, or himself (Sirius) ever again. Sirius was almost expelled, but he didn't care. Sirius just wanted Remus' full trust back again. Remus found Jason and tapped him on the shoulder. "How do you know Riley, just wondering?"
Jason, planning to get back at her, happened to know she had a thing for Lupin. "Oh, we just met tonight. She sure is a great kisser though!" Remus almost walked away, but he used a well-placed punch instead that surprisingly knocked Jason into a wall. Werewolf strength rocked at times. Luckily none of the professors noticed this, or chose not to.
*************************************~~~************************************ **
While getting set up for the next song, Lily pondered why James sang and danced for/with her. Maybe he noticed she was bored, or maybe he really did? No, that couldn't be it! It just wasn't possible!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rebecca glanced over at her friends. Usually something wasn't wrong with all three of them at the same time. But now there was and it was not pleasant! Her ex boyfriend, Andrew, had been owling her, trying to get back together with her, and threatening to kill anyone else who went out with her. It was insane. She hadn't told Riley or Lily yet, she was planning to after the ball.
Rebecca;
**There comes the last part and end of our old age
with thunder and lightning the dark lord is taking
the crown of the whole world**
Riley:
**His creatures will kill me and poison my soul
to the end I'll fight but I know that the things
that I do are meaningless - Oh no
I see the hill but it's so far away**
Lily:
**I know I can't reach it
but I try again and again in my dark dreams
he's wasting my last will how long can I stay here
when the mightiest of all will now**
All; [Ref:]
**Run for the Night burn away
the times of his fall I've to pay
Visions of darkness prepared for the last strike
and bloodlust their weapons and madness
you see to their
eyes there's no way out**
Riley:
**I'm lost in a dark dream and losing control
to the end I'll fight but I know that the things
that I do are so meaningless - Oh no
I see the hill but it's so far away**
Lily:
**I know I can't reach it
but try it again and again in my dark dreams
he's wasting my last will**
Rebecca;
**How long can I stay here
when the mightiest of all will now**
All; * Run...
You see them running in the shadows of the night
it is not what it used to be
they've been scared and they've been anxiously tonight
you see them running with the wind they
run for the night [3x]**
**[Solo]
[Ref: 2x]**
The girls sang a few more songs, and then it was time for the end of the dance. "Thank you everyone!" Albus said. "But a special thanks to One Galaxy Treasure and the Marauders!" At this point everyone went wild, catcalling, cheering, clapping, yelling. Everyone left after that.
The two bands ran into each other outside the common room. Sirius yelled that they were better, because he was mad at Rebecca, causing Rebecca to crack her whip in front of his face, causing him to brandish his sword, causing Riley to yell at Sirius, causing Remus to yell at Riley. Wait, Remus never yelled, even when he was totally irate. Uh-oh.
"Don't yell at him!" Remus practically screamed.
"Don't yell at her for yelling at him!" Rebecca said rather loudly.
"Don't yell at him for yelling at her for yelling at me!" Retorted Sirius.
"Stop yelling at me for yelling at him for yelling at her for yelling at you, when you're yelling at me!"
"QUIT YELLING ALL OF YOU!" bellowed James.
"SHUT UP!" screeched everyone, including Lily.
James sighed. This was gonna be a long irritable night. And indeed it was well on its way with all the bickering, until the Gray Lady and Sir Nicholas came along. Seeing six students so perfect for each other yet quarreling? It was heart breaking! Taking a mere glance at each other the two ghosts muttered a spell long forgotten to the modern wizards. The spirit-switching spell. The two were feeling quite meddlesome tonight.
The bickering and yelling came to an end when Dumbledore came up. "What's going on here?" he asked cheerfully.
"They......I mean....nothing..........." Lily said flushing.
"Well, as it's quite late, I suggest you all go up to bed."
Nodding the six did so, all the while sending death glares at each other. None of them slept easily that night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So what did ya think? Good, bad? It's longer than my usual chappies.....And yes I'm aware that the ghosts probably couldn't do spells, but my imagination!
As you know I don't own any of the songs. So here!
"In the End" – Linkin Park
"Thanks for nothing" – Sum-41
"Shy Girl" – O Town
"Dirty Sunshine" – Lillix
"I am; I'm me" – Twisted Sister (I think)
"Run for the Night" – Blind Guardian
Yavanna: I torment myself! Remus! **drools** Glad you like it all!
Dark and prone to violence; Thank you! And actually I was planning on it. ^- ^
Titou Moony:-p; I tried to read one of your stories but I couldn't get it to English! Thanx for the review!

Shy girl It's written on your face A mermaid out of water Feeling out of place Shy girl Tryin to hide her blush Caught you looking for a second Felt my heart rush Don't run away Don't be afraid Don't be shy girl So beautiful Shy shy girl**
Sirius:
**Hey girl Don't be shy girl Don't run away Shy shy girl**
Remus:
**Oh baby I'm looking at you Come a little closer**
Peter; *spoken~
Shy, Shy Shy girl

"So why do you hang out with all those mudbloods?" Jason asked.
"Take that back." Riley hissed as her temper flared up.
Jason tightened his grip on her waist. "Ok but on one condition."
"Meaning?" Before Riley even finished speaking Jason leaned in and kissed her. He was much stronger than she was, and that was saying a lot. He was three times her size, and she couldn't get loose.
****************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**********************~~~~~~~~~~~~*** **
Remus was singing in that direction and almost dropped his microphone. Who was that macho guy Riley was kissing? He turned away quickly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*******************~~~~~~~~~~***************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Riley was livid, she kneed Jason in the groin then kicked him to the ground. Jason jumped up and ran after her.
"Hey! Get back here! I was just getting started!"
Riley used a well-placed banishing charm and Jason Dimari ended up in China. Bad things happened when Riley got mad....................... Fortunately Jason apparated to Hogsmede and got back to Hogwarts in 20 minutes.
**********~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~****************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**********
Rebecca game to sit down and wait for the other girls as it was almost their time to sings. Lily was there has well having just finished dancing with James. "Where's Riley?" Rebecca inquired."
"Probably on her way here."
**************************************************************************** ***
Malfoy happened to be detaining Riley from getting to her band mates. "You know, if you had just taken my offer, no one would be able to touch you, with the exception of me of course." He said smirking suggestively.
"Urgh!" She pushed Malfoy aside and went to her friends.
*************************************~~~************************************ *******
"Thank you Marauders!" Albus said. Everyone applauded. "And now........... Let's hear it for One Galaxy Treasure!" he continued.
The girl walked up receiving, whistles, catcalls and yells. None of the girls showed nervousness in anyway.
All: **nah nah nah**
Lily: **dirty black clothes A spider creeping up the wall Moldy pizza Sits where I left it on the floor
What is that breeze upon my face? How did you invade my space? **
All:

"Ok, they're pretty good!" admitted Sirius; the other three nodded their approval.
Riley;
**I AM: I'M ME

Remus, however, was going to find out whom that guy was that Riley had kissed. Remus had never been jealous of anything until now. He slipped away from his friends and began to search.
James noticed but didn't say anything. This was something Remus needed to do himself.
Sirius was starting at Rebecca as if in a trance, mortified yet impressed. She was an illegal animagus to whom he had told his secrets. Hopefully, she forgot. Oh bloody hell! How could she forget? So complex........
************************************~~~************************************* *
Remus ran into Snape, or Snape ran into him. Either way there was a collision. "Watch it, Wolf boy!"
"Lay off, Snape." Remus walked off trying to avoid a fight. The last week or two ago, Sirius told Snape how to get into the Whomping Willow as a prank. Remus was livid, but with true grace and Remus-style told him not to hurt him, his trust, or himself (Sirius) ever again. Sirius was almost expelled, but he didn't care. Sirius just wanted Remus' full trust back again. Remus found Jason and tapped him on the shoulder. "How do you know Riley, just wondering?"
Jason, planning to get back at her, happened to know she had a thing for Lupin. "Oh, we just met tonight. She sure is a great kisser though!" Remus almost walked away, but he used a well-placed punch instead that surprisingly knocked Jason into a wall. Werewolf strength rocked at times. Luckily none of the professors noticed this, or chose not to.
*************************************~~~************************************ **
While getting set up for the next song, Lily pondered why James sang and danced for/with her. Maybe he noticed she was bored, or maybe he really did? No, that couldn't be it! It just wasn't possible!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rebecca glanced over at her friends. Usually something wasn't wrong with all three of them at the same time. But now there was and it was not pleasant! Her ex boyfriend, Andrew, had been owling her, trying to get back together with her, and threatening to kill anyone else who went out with her. It was insane. She hadn't told Riley or Lily yet, she was planning to after the ball.
Rebecca;
**There comes the last part and end of our old age
with thunder and lightning the dark lord is taking
the crown of the whole world**
Riley:
**His creatures will kill me and poison my soul
to the end I'll fight but I know that the things
that I do are meaningless - Oh no
I see the hill but it's so far away**
Lily:
**I know I can't reach it
but I try again and again in my dark dreams
he's wasting my last will how long can I stay here
when the mightiest of all will now**
All; [Ref:]
**Run for the Night burn away
the times of his fall I've to pay
Visions of darkness prepared for the last strike
and bloodlust their weapons and madness
you see to their
eyes there's no way out**
Riley:
**I'm lost in a dark dream and losing control
to the end I'll fight but I know that the things
that I do are so meaningless - Oh no
I see the hill but it's so far away**
Lily:
**I know I can't reach it
but try it again and again in my dark dreams
he's wasting my last will**
Rebecca;
**How long can I stay here
when the mightiest of all will now**
All; * Run...
You see them running in the shadows of the night
it is not what it used to be
they've been scared and they've been anxiously tonight
you see them running with the wind they
run for the night [3x]**
**[Solo]
[Ref: 2x]**
The girls sang a few more songs, and then it was time for the end of the dance. "Thank you everyone!" Albus said. "But a special thanks to One Galaxy Treasure and the Marauders!" At this point everyone went wild, catcalling, cheering, clapping, yelling. Everyone left after that.
The two bands ran into each other outside the common room. Sirius yelled that they were better, because he was mad at Rebecca, causing Rebecca to crack her whip in front of his face, causing him to brandish his sword, causing Riley to yell at Sirius, causing Remus to yell at Riley. Wait, Remus never yelled, even when he was totally irate. Uh-oh.
"Don't yell at him!" Remus practically screamed.
"Don't yell at her for yelling at him!" Rebecca said rather loudly.
"Don't yell at him for yelling at her for yelling at me!" Retorted Sirius.
"Stop yelling at me for yelling at him for yelling at her for yelling at you, when you're yelling at me!"
"QUIT YELLING ALL OF YOU!" bellowed James.
"SHUT UP!" screeched everyone, including Lily.
James sighed. This was gonna be a long irritable night. And indeed it was well on its way with all the bickering, until the Gray Lady and Sir Nicholas came along. Seeing six students so perfect for each other yet quarreling? It was heart breaking! Taking a mere glance at each other the two ghosts muttered a spell long forgotten to the modern wizards. The spirit-switching spell. The two were feeling quite meddlesome tonight.
The bickering and yelling came to an end when Dumbledore came up. "What's going on here?" he asked cheerfully.
"They......I mean....nothing..........." Lily said flushing.
"Well, as it's quite late, I suggest you all go up to bed."
Nodding the six did so, all the while sending death glares at each other. None of them slept easily that night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So what did ya think? Good, bad? It's longer than my usual chappies.....And yes I'm aware that the ghosts probably couldn't do spells, but my imagination!
