Sky groaned, looking up at the ceiling from her four-poster. Everything was so...normal. Natural. Even for a witch! Everything was so...predictable. It was the weekend, again, after a week of studies and classes. She'd finished her homework and classwork, went to breakfast, and now every body would hang out on the grounds or something. But it was so...normal! She wished, for once, that something exciting would happen.

She shuffled up from her bed, throwing off her cloak. Wizard clothing was so gross. She slipped on her tight faded Popular jeans and a grey and hot pink t-shirt. She put her raven-black hair up in a ponytail, coated her eyes with mascara and eyeliner, and slipped on her ballet-not-for-ballet-black-slippers. She went down to the common room, greeting her friends and slumping down on a couch. She closed her eyes, flipping her legs up and down. She stifled a scream as something/someone grabbed her legs. Her eyes sought open.

Skysong's cheeks became red, as a tall boy, with long blonde hair and gray eyes faced her, holding on to her leg, "Jesus, that was getting annoying!" Artimis Raphael Malfoy said, and she scooted up to let him sit there. She looked away so that he wouldn't see her blush.

"So, what's up?" He said, raising an eyebrow. "And why aren't you facing me, do I have something on my face?" he grabbed a hand mirror from the side table, fluttering his eyelashes at his reflection. Sky giggled, shaking her head.

"Not much. Don't you think our life is repetitive and annoying?" She asked, facing him again and readjusting her position.

"Every day...I guess. But, you know, reality. Gotta deal with it," Artimis said, putting the mirror down slowly. "Sooo...Have you heard about the winter dance...?" for once, Artimis sounded as if he was nervous. It made Skysong laugh, but she stifiled it.

"Yeaaah," Sky said, enjoying the little prop she was giving him. It toughens men up to be able to explain! She started playing with the long strands of her straight, raven hair.

Artimis' eyes wandered towards Sky's teasing hands pulling on her hair. "Well, eh," he looked back at her face, trying to smile, "Umm...Well...It would be nice if you...Went with me?" he said, making the end form a question. He gulped.

Sky smiled, "Yeah, sure," she said, standing up and beginning to walk away. Artimis laughed behind her.

"Don't I get a HUG?" he asked, pouting. He opened his arms to her, and she turned around and hugged him. They both laughed and retreated to their rooms.

Skysong was back in her four-poster. Staring at the ceiling. That hadn't changed anything. Life was so boring. She hadn't even thought about the dance. It was tomorrow...Wasn't it? She gasped. She'd need to get something to wear...She decided to head off to Hogsmeade.

"Sa, sana sa, sana sa sa sana SA!" Sky sang, coming back into the Slytherin common room, hiding a dress behind her back. A few of her friends greeted her, and most of her female friends tried sneaking a look at her dress. She shook her head, "It's nothing special, but I don't feel like having anyone see it until the dance." she laughed as they pouted and started their stupid gossip of who was going with who. She was so happy she was going with ARtimis. She'd always liked him. He was so cute, funny, sweet, she could go on.

"SANA SAAAA!" Sky skreiched, going up to the girl's dormitories. She put her dress in her suitcase, and stripped of her clothing. She ran to the bathroom, and went into a bathroom stall. She did this every once in a while, just to prove to herself who she is. A lot of her friends called her mental, but being a lovechild she was a natural born hippie and needed to remind herself who she really was everyone once in a while. Looking at her hip, there was a small rainbow tattoo of a peice sign. On the side of her thigh a tattoo read in rainbow-ish colors: I'm not a number! and on her lower back, right above her bottom was a 'Acapulco Gold' tattoo. It was a legendary mexican marijuana back in te 60's, but nowadays wasn't that special.

She laughed, she was probably in the Afterglow. She was feeling high for no particular reason.

She raced back and got dressed again, laughing. Certainly this was the Afterglow. She saw Melissa again, and gave her a hug which Melissa returned.

"Sky! Jordan's been balling my ex!"

"Oh damn, you're not a hippie, you're insulting me. Please use 'shag', only I am allowed to saw 'ball!" Sky said before comforting her. "Leave the dyke alone, why do you care if whatshisname is seeing a BOY? If it was a girl it would be...worse."

It was hard to comfort people like Melissa.

A/N: The plot comes later...It will be somehow connected to the Wizarding world by Voldemort and stuff but it will explain my belief a little, too.
