A/N: don't own don't sue
The lyrics at the beginning are from 'Who Let You Go' by The Killers
The lyrics from the singing class are; 'How Shall I See You Through My Tears' from the Camp soundtrack
And from the canteen scene; 'Never' by Moving Pictures and happens to be my favourite ever song from Footloose :D
And to explain all the music, they're at a Performing Arts school OK it's expected! And the canteen part was partly inspired by 'Fame' and partly inspired by what happened in the Deli-Bar at my college yesterday which was definitely an unforgettable experience it was that good and all in aid of charity for the Tsunami victims. Thanks to anyone who reviewed and I hope you like it x
Chapter Five – Who Let You Go
Who let you go? Who let you go?
Who let you go? Who let you go?
Who let you go? Who let you go?
Who let you go? Who let you go?
I feel it inside, down in my soul
And I just can't hide things that I know
We could be friends
And I promise that it won't get bad
But hopefully that story ends
But you ain't got nothing I never had
So let's take it slow
Who let you go? Who let you go?
Who let you go? Who let you go?
Someone must have loved you
Not the way that I do...
You're missing what I'm trying to say
Ain't nothing getting in my way
So tell me that's fantastic
And promise me, you'll always sigh
I find it so romantic
When you look into my beautiful eyes
And lose control
Who let you go? Who let you go?
Who let you go? Who let you go?
Who let you go? Who let you go?
Who let you go? Who let you go?
I don't know what it means
But I've been wondering
Who let you go?
And honey, when you walk my way
It makes me wanna say...
Ohhh
Sha-la-la-lo, sha-la-la-lo
Sha-la-la-lo, sha-la-la-lo
Ginny was very amused to see Draco staggering into Singing Class half way into the lesson with cavernous eyes and evidently a hangover the size of Berlin the next morning. She shuffled over slightly so he could drop onto the floor besides her, immediately he let his head fall into his hands where he cradled it gingerly.
"Mr Malfoy, how nice of you to finally join us."
Draco grunted as a way of replying to their voice coach who was stood over them with her hands on her scrawny hips looking thunderous. As much as Professor Sear had a crush on Draco, Professor Chappell didn't so much hate him as disliked him intensely. Having a murky sexuality it was very evident to all that she had a thing for Crystianna and Draco being her best friend didn't endeavour him to their professor at all.
"Where have you been?"
Draco shot Ginny a glare for hissing rather loudly down his ear before sighing and leaning back slightly, shading his eyes from the harsh lights as a tall skinny boy with a mop of red curls was torn to shreds by Professor Chappell.
"Drinking himself into an early grave obviously."
Draco scowled at Vanessa who was leaning over Ginny with an arm draped around her shoulder and her chin resting on Ginny's other bare shoulder. Elijah took pity on him and dug a hangover potion out of his bag, throwing it to Draco who downed it gratefully.
"Hope there aren't any side-effects."
Ginny felt a prick of suspicion bubble inside her at the wicked tone in Elijah's voice as he whispered into her ear.
"Especially since Chappell is about to hex him anyway for being late."
Ginny held a hand over her mouth to stifle her giggles as Vanessa joined in and Draco shot them all a nasty look as he obviously began to feel better. Professor Chappell, however, was not in a good enough mood to let them get away with it.
"Miss Marlow, if you seem to find something so funny I think you better come up here and show us how it's done."
Ginny rolled her eyes and climbed to her feet, moving forward there wasn't a single guy (and indeed a few of the girls) that wasn't watching her move in her tight outfit. Her black leggings clung to her shapely legs even closer than a pair of tights would have and the cream body-stocking that emphasised every curve of her upper body was only just hidden by the large black sweater that fell off the shoulder on one arm and fell to just under her breasts.
Glancing at the music sheet Professor Chappell had just given to the musicians she faltered for a moment; she loved this song, before pulling herself together and jumping up onto the large boxes scattered around with no obvious particular purpose. Pulling one leg up under her and leaving the other to dangle she fiddled absently with the almost knee-high black leg-warmer over her cream ballet shoes as the music started up.
((Ginny All Elijah))
Father sister
Father, sister, dearest voices
I have found you, and I don't know how
Father, sister, I hear your voices
But am I dreamin', or are you here right now
Can you tell me
How shall I see you through my tears (Please tell me)
How shall I see you through my tears (I need to know)
How shall I see you through my tears (Yeah)
Father, sister, the gods have spoken
I bring a promise, a holy vow
A world that casts you out, forgives you
And those who blame you, sing your praises now
So can you tell me..
How shall I see you through my tears? (Please tell me)
How shall I see you through my tears? (I need to know)
How shall I see you through my tears? (Yeah)
Destiny
Brings you back to me
Child I'm, so glad I'm here
There's hope for me
There's a prophecy
Destiny
Brings you back to me
A world that casts you out
May forgive you now
Destiny
Brings you back to me
I've been waiting for a sign
To ease my troubled mind
Oooooohh, oooooh-ooh-oohh-oooh
Oooooohh, oooooh-ooh-oohh-oooh
Ooooooooooohhh, OOOHHHHHHHH!
How shall I see you through my tears? (Please tell me)
How shall I see you through my tears? (I need to know)
How shall I see you through my tears (Yeah)
How shall I see you through my tears (When I'm cryin tears of sadness)
How shall I see you through my tears (Won't you turn them to tears of gladness)
How shall I see you through my tears, (Gladness, ooohh)
Gasping for breath by the end of the song Ginny smirked over at Professor Chappell who was torn between pride and anger at being shown up and who simply nodded at her to take her seat again.
"That is such a good song."
Ginny nodded and grinned at Vanessa; turning to talk to Draco again she caught sight of a thoughtful look on Elijah's face. Before she could ask him about it the Professor was dismissing the class after repeated reminders that they must rehearse their solo songs.
Edging their way through the bustling crowds towards the canteen Ginny momentarily forgot all about the look on Elijah's mischievous face until they were halfway through lunch and he began tapping out a rhythm on the table with his fingers.
"Elijah? What are you planning?"
He shrugged but the beat became more insistent until Draco and Vanessa had also picked it up and Ginny herself found her fingers itching to join in. Damn Elijah. Elijah waved his wand at the derelict old CD player set high up on the wall and the speakers instantly began blaring.
Despite herself Ginny found her head nodding to the beat, her feet tapping under the desks as the rest of the canteen picked it up. Pretty quickly the beat had changed to a more familiar one and Ginny felt her lips form a smile as she moved her body slightly to the music.
The Performing Arts students were off to one corner keeping the beat with anything they could reach while the Music Class students were assembling their instruments almost unconsciously, strumming along to the beat the music became more intense until Ginny and most of the room were dancing.
"I feel your heart
It's beating time with mine
But love love love is on the line
He holds you down
But I know you want to run
Well you're hot hot loaded like a gun."
Ginny and Vanessa leaned in towards Elijah and Draco to sing the words, both laughing wildly as others joined in, climbing onto the tables to dance.
"Oh you feel oh so trapped and confused
Start with nothing, you've got nothing to lose
You can never never never ever never never never ever hide your heart
Don't you ever ever ever ever try it
If you don't give your heart wings you'll
Never never never ever never never never ever fly
Break down the walls
You've got to cut the ties
There's pain pain burning in your eyes."
The room was filled with undulating bodies, all kinds of dances were mixed in together while there seemed to be some kind of impromptu mosh pit in the centre of the canteen. Couples were dancing here and there while others raved away on their own.
"It's time to fight
Well it's time for tearing free
Oh come come running straight to me
Oh you know he don't love you like I do
Don't make believe that you don't feel it too
You can never never ever never never never hide your heart
Don't you ever ever ever ever try it
If you don't give your heart wings you'll
Never never never never fly
You'll never fly
If you want you can fly."
Although the song ended most of the dancing didn't, in fact someone else tapped the CD player with their wand creating another song to begin and the frenzied dancing started again. After a few more songs Ginny had to move away, she was burning with sweat and her leotard was practically see-through with it as her limbs began to ache slightly from the activity without warming up first.
Forcing her way through the crowds who were at the moment jumping up and down with their arms in the air and their bodies writhing she made her way outside to the almost deserted yard where the cold air hit her heated body like a knife.
"You are determined to make my head explode aren't you?"
She shrugged and turned slightly to look at him as he moved to stand next to her, his gaze fixed on the horizon and his chest rising and falling rapidly from his frenzied activity from only moments earlier.
"I have no sympathy for people who drink themselves into a coma the night before a class they know they're expected to sing in."
He rolled his eyes and leaned sideways against the pillar at the head of the stairs leading down from the porch they were standing on. Ginny turned away from him and shivered slightly as the sweat layering her skin attracted the cool wind, strands of her sweaty hair drifting around her bare shoulders and neck and flickering into her eyes.
She started when she felt something placed on her shoulders and she lifted her hands to tuck the collar of the damp shirt closer to her neck against the wind. She slipped her arms into the sleeves and rubbed her forearms through the material trying to generate a little heat.
"Sorry about the dampness, best I could do."
She laughed a little and took a step forward, dropping down to sit on the top step and tucking her knees up to her chin to keep warm. She wrapped her arms around her knees and looked up at the sky as she felt Draco join her.
"Draco?"
"Mmm?" He grunted indicating he was at least feigning interest in what she had to say.
"I don't understand it, why are you single?"
She fought back a blush when he turned to look at her fully and she kept her eyes fixed on the heavens so she wouldn't have to meet his eye.
"I suppose I could feed you the bull about not needing a girl to tie me down when I can have a different one every night if I wanted and all that but the truth is I don't know."
She chanced a glance at him but he wasn't looking at her he was looking at a pool of moonlight at their feet.
"If I'm with a girl I like it normally lasts a few weeks at the most then I get restless and she's gone. I guess when I actually do find the right girl it will all come together and I'll be able to make it stick."
Ginny felt slightly humbled at his words and a sudden sweep of loneliness almost took her breath away, it wrenched at her gut and she lowered her head until her forehead was pressed against her knees.
"Oh."
He let out a small bark of laughter and turned to face her, humour sparkling in his eyes hidden behind the shadows.
"Not offering to take the job are you?"
for a moment she almost believed he was half serious as her gaze met his but within an instant it was gone so fast she couldn't be sure if she had imagined it or not and she was left feeling painfully embarrassed at having brought up the subject.
"In your dreams Malfoy, you could say I was merely morbidly curious."
His smirk faltered slightly before he rolled his eyes and rose quickly to his feet until Ginny was leaning back so far to meet his eyes her neck was twisted and quite painful.
"Night Marlow, sweet dreams."
She looked back down as she climbed to her feet but when she looked back he was gone and the only indication he had been there was his shirt still sticking to her slender frame with sweat and the partially open door with a sliver of light creeping towards her and the music drifting at her quietly.
