(Two days later...)
As all the children gathered in the Great Hall for lunch, Dumbledor stood up and announced that the children going to the dance where (drum roll)...
"John Creps from the Slytherin house, Molly Timil from Ravenclaw, Samantha Sung from Gryffindor, and last but not least, (Many children crossed their fingers in hope it would be them.) Steven Turn from Hufflepuff!"
There was a mixture of claps, whistles, and of course the occasional booing. The dance was in 3 days and all the teachers where very excited except for Professor Snape... He was in his chambers most of the time you would hear his radio playing if you listened carefully... He obviously liked S. Menneguzzi and The Bats because you could make out that it was them on the radio, unless he had a cd player then maybe he just had a bunch of cd's stuffed in a shoe box somewhere, but Sev didn't really seem like the type to have cd's or a radio did he, thought Liv as she walked through the hall. She knocked on his door and all of a sudden the music stopped and you could hear an assortment of BANG BOOM shuffle SCRATCH and then a couple eh's... He finally made it to the door and yelled,
"Who is it!?"
Before he opened the door to see if anyone was there and if so, who. Liv responded,
"It's me... Umm... Liv... Remember me? hehe..."
"Oh! Come in... It got kind of messy after Dumbledor told me I had to do this stupid... Um... Cleaning thing... eh em... anyways... How are you... Here have a seat I uh.. Just made tea!" he said out of breath and then obviously felt stupid about it a split second later. Live sat down and said,
"Sev... I think you are the one who needs to have a seat...hehehe"
"Yea, I think that's probably a good idea... I'm sorry... I've just been busy ya know... like.." and then he let out a large sigh and shook his a head a little. She gave him another hug and said,
"Everybody feels like that sometimes you know. It's normal don't worry."
Sev smiled and said,
"Hey I know you probably won't want to but, you wanna have dinner with me? I mean you don't have to but... I jus' thought it would be nice... ya know..." mimicking her earlier offer to lunch and then they both laughed a little and she excepted. The curiously she said,
"Okay uh, where, when, and what? Hehe"
He responded faster than ever just because he was happy she actually said yes,
"Umm... 6pm? Is that good? ("yea sure")and umm... what do you want to eat?"
She looked at him with much happiness, "Umm... do you like steak?"
"Of course..." he said
"Then steak I guess..."she said being very cautious to make sure they BOTH like what they where having and not just her. So he said,
"Sounds good to me, I like everything... Except maybe.. Asparagus... and lima beans..."
"I don't like them either hehe" she said playfully.
They both didn't know what to say after that, so Liv jus' looked around the room and commented on how nice it looked and he argued that it was a mess and then tried t explain that he was so sorry about the whole thing. Then of course she said she didn't care anyway and that maybe she could help him clean up if Dumbledor wanted him to do it. And he said,
"NO! I mean... No... No thank you... I think.. I think I have some tea! Hold on ill be right back!"
She laughed a little then as he got up and made his way to the kitchen, which Liv had never seen, he tripped over something and let out a small yelp. Liv jumped up and ran over to him and lifted up his pant leg to examen his ankle. It was bleeding a little and she asked where the disinfectant was and he said he didn't have any and he didn't need it. But she insisted so he told her that he had some in his pocket.
"I don't know how old it is because I found it under my bed two weeks ago..." and then he shrugged. She said it would have to do and put some on the cut.
"We don't want it getting infected, do we?" she said.
Once again he just shrugged, as she looked over she saw a guitar sticking out with a little bit of blood at the top of it. She looked at it in amazement and when he saw the blood he yelled,
"Ah!" and ran out of the room, he came out with a towel and something sort of like polish or something, and started cleaning it like a maniac. Liv was so surprised to see a guitar in his room she just said,
"Can you play?"
He looked at her and said,
"A little, not much at all..."
She said,
"Can lets hear some?"
"Umm... I said I wasn't very good, but if you want I guess I could... what do you want to hear...?"
He responded.
"Well... Do you know the song, "In Nome Dell Amore," its one of S. Meneguzzi and The Bats less popular songs in the UK. It's more popular in Italy and throughout Europe." She said.
"Of course... Umm... I have trouble with that one though... Would you mind singing along? It helps..." he said.
"Oh" she said even more surprised, "Sure I guess if you want me to, but im a horrid singer"
He laughed and just reassured her that hers was much better than his, and so they started.
"Come stai
come sto
maledettamente bene
penso a te
penso a noi
e non vivo più
forse sei
abile
a nascondere il dolore
forse no, non lo so
ma ti aspetterò
Guardami, sono qui..."
As he played his guitar and she sang it was beautiful. Four minutes after they had started, they had stopped. Looked at each other and smiled she then said,
"Its beautiful, your great! If the real singer was here it would have sounded like the real thing."
"No. It sounded great, if this was my guitar it would have sounded perfect..Are you a S. Meneguzzi and The Bats fan?" he asked
She blused a little and said,
"Um, yea... I really like their music, they are my favorite band. Are you?"
In response he said, "Well, Yea, I just don't like the singer, he needs a touch up."
Really fast she said, "It's a guy!? How do you know???"
In a rush he said, "Calm down! It was supposed to be a secret you know. I just gave it away, so PLEASE don't tell anyone... k?" jokingly.
They both laughed and Sev flopped on the bed and looked at the ceiling, and Liv asked,
"May I join you?"
He nodded and there was another flop and he looked at her and she said,
"Why do you think everyone in S. Meneguzzi and The Bats wheres hoods and masks with gloves?"
He laughed and said,
"How about because they don't want anyone to know who they are..."
She looked at him with a raised eyebrow and explained what she meant by that,
"Yes, but why would they want to disguise themselves, hmm?"
"Good point, maybe because they don't want people to make fun of how they look, or maybe because they are trying to teach people something by all this hooded selfless service..."he suggested.
"Like what kind of lesson?" she asked.
"Maybe they r trying to point out that it doesn't matter what you look like on the outside, but the inside is what counts... eh what the heck am I saying... Maybe because they think it's cool, Im such a dork..." he almost pointed out.
"No your not..." she sighed and then said,
"I love you so much Sev..."
He turned his head around so fast you couldn't even see it and you could see he was trying to say something but couldn't. Then finally he said with much difficulty,
"You...You....(gasp)what?"
She looked at him and said,
"I love you... Are you okay... Sev?"
"You...You... (cough)You... L...l...l...l...lov..v..v...lovvve... m...me?" he was now breathing very deep and was acting a little scared.
"Yes, don't tell me that no one every loved you before... Don't..."she said with a little fear in her voice, she didn't think that people could be that harsh.
"Okay... I won't..." he said.
There was a pause and then she said.
"It's not true is it?" and then he just looked at the ceiling and said,
"y..yea... so... s...so... what if it is true that no one loves me or...ever did... I mean.. It doesn't matter... right?... I mean... Can you really blame them... Look at me..."
She looked at him and asked,
"Wait... what about your mom and dad...? I'm sure they loved you..."
He sat up and looked at the floor, then she sat up and put her hand on his shoulder. He finally said,
"My mom and dad didn't like me much... They hit me a lot... you know..."
She looked at him and said,
"What do you mean they hit you a lot?"
Shyly he said,
"Well... They hit me with stuff you know... Like their hands and sometimes they kicked me and... threw and stuff...mmm..."
She looked at him then saw a tear running down his cheek as he said,
"All I wanted... I just wanted to know how it felt... to have someone love you like that you know... Just a little even... just maybe for someone to say good morning or something... you know that would be nice..."
After that he broke out in tears, and at the same time he was trying to apologize for everything.
"Sev no baby... I love you... shh... Sev... look at me..."she said as she held him close to her.
"Mm... y..yea..." he said, as he looked up he reminded Liv of a child, so delicate.
"Now you listen to me... You didn't deserve that okay... Its not your fault... you didn't do anything wrong... Alright?"
She told him as she touched his face. He looked up at her and smiled a little, and she held him for and hour it had to be, at least. Then she said,
"Hey why don't you teach me to play a guitar... For fun..." and then kissed his forehead.
He blushed a little and said,
"Okay, It isn't that difficult really."
And as they sat there he eventually taught her to play a whole song, it defiantly needed practice but it was good for her first time. So this time she played and he sang. Something about his voice reminded her of one she had heard before but she wasn't sure about where she had heard it.
