Last chapter for today :) Guess what guys? I've already written up to chapter 16. :-D Hehe. I'm getting close to finishing, and I can't wait for my favorite part - The Point of No Return/Track down this murderer. :) Hehe! Enjoy.

PS: I think this song is so romantic. Maybe it's just me?


Chapter 7 - Scene 5: Beyond the Lake

They arrived at the Phantom's lair, where more candles were spread all over. Many people in the audience "ooh"ed and "ahh"ed at the beauty of the set.

Draco, as the Phantom, sat down at his pipe organ as Ginny watched on.

"Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation. Darkness stirs and wakes imagination. Silently the senses, abandon their defenses. Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor... Grasp it, sense it, temulous and tender. Turn your face away, from the garish light of day, turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light - and listen, to the music of the night..."

Ginny watched on, amazed at how nice Draco was sounding. Who knew?

"Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams! Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before! Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar! And you'll live...as you've never lived before...

Softly, deftly, music shall surround you. Feel it, hear it, closing in around you... Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind, in this darkness which you know you cannot fight... The darkness, of the music, of the night...

Let your mind start a journey to a strange new world, leave all thoughts of the world you knew before! Let your soul take you where you long to be! Only then, can you belong to me..."

Phantom has been touching Christine around her corset and her fingers have gone over his mask, carressing it. She does not dare take it off. Ginny ignores the feeling she wants to punch Draco for touching her there, but she knows its in the script, so she takes a deep breath.

"Floating, falling, sweet intoxication! Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation! Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in, to the power of the music that I write...the power, of the music, of the night!"

Draco then led Ginny over to a mirror, where he removes the blanket, uncovering it. Christine saw herself in it, wearing a veil and a wedding gown. While she starts to wonder what it is, the image puts its hands out to her. As Christine faints, Draco catches her and carries her to the bed where he lays her down. As he strokes her softly, he sings, "You alone can make my song take flight... help me make the music of the night..."
