A/N: So here we go again. If you guessed this next song and chapter is Silver and Cold… You guessed right! XD. So, I don't know if any of my stories will have female roles as main. It hard to picture a female when you here a male singing. Oh well. This one stars the one and only Dumbledore. Isn't that great? His back up will be Snape (he is a great singer after all), Hagrid, Flitwick and well any other male teachers. Oh of course Professor Binns. How could I forget? Anyway, as always back up is in bold and the main singer is in Italics. XD enjoys this new chapter. Oh and thoughts or shall I say Albus' thoughts are in italics with out the quotation marks. CHEERS! Wow I just discovered he sings some lines with his back up so that shall be bold italic. Right, CHEERS! (Again)
Minerva did not have any students first block so Albus took this advantage to talk to his Deputy Head Mistress. This sudden burst into song was so out of the blue he did not know what to think, none the less what to do. He figured she would have a plan.
"This is serious, Minerva. I probably would be enjoying this if I knew who cast the spell. But no one at this school has."
"How do you know this, Albus?"
"I have my ways." He smiled slyly at her. "My only thought and plan is to wait until the spell wears off."
"Albus you know better then I do that some musical spells last months, even years!"
"I am willing to take the risk if you are."
"You know you have my support."
"Yes, yes I know." He looked outside to the pouring rain and sighed
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing that you haven't already solved, my dear."
"I see, well if you will excuse me, Albus, I must prepare for my class."
"Of course, you may go." If only I could tell you what does truly bother me.
She gave him a small smile as she left. Albus leaned back into his chair and sighed even deeper. He had lived for a long time and still has troubles talking to girls. Then again not necessarily girls, actually only one woman. The distant rumble of thunder came through his window. Suddenly he jumped to his feet and dashed out the door. It only took him a second but music began to play. Oh God not now, I don't need a song now! He tried to ignore it and kept his pace.
Albus froze just as he rounded his seconded corner. He pushed a small stone in the wall and a doorway opened. He hopped in and walked the corridor. The pictures allowed him to see out into the corridors like those double-sided mirrors the Muggle police have. He slowed up when he was walking beside Minerva. He watched he gently wishing he could hold her hand, but she had no idea he was there, and then, then he just started singing.
"I... I came here by day, but I left here in darkness
And found you, found you on the way
And now, it is silver and silent, it is silver and cold
You, in somber resplendence, I hold"
Next thing he knew he was sliding out into the hallway opens armed and singing with his fellow colleges as his back up. But Minerva, she didn't even seem to notice. Even though Albus was singing loud enough to wake the dead. He also noticed she was cursing to herself and he knew not why. Maybe it was something he did.
"Your sins into me"
"Oh, my beautiful one
Your sins into me
As a rapturous voice escapes, I will tremble a prayer
And I'll beg for forgiveness"
"Your sins into me"
"Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one"
The music calmed and allowed him to keep moving. He hoped he would catch her, but make it look accidental. Maybe he could ask what was bothering his Tabby. With this hope he gained knew speed. He made turns and went through passages. Eventually he got to his target.
He perfectly made his move he "accidentally" bumped into her. He apologized and said he was in a hurry to find Snape. In a lower whisper he said it was order business. She nodded and opened her mouth to say something but closed it quickly and headed in the direct opposite direction of her office. Albus found this weird.
"Light, like the flutter of wings, feel your hollow voice rushing into me
As you're longing to sing"
Then a crazy and scary thought crossed his mind. What if what if she didn't like him? What if she only tolerated him because he was her boss? What if she really only does what she does out of charity? Why would she toy with him like this?
"So I... I will paint you in silver, I will wrap you in cold
I will lift up your voice as I sink"
With boiling anger he threw himself into the next chorus of his song. He no longer wished to follow her, to love her. He would turn and drown himself with tears. With that and singing he returned to his office.
"Your sins into me"
"Oh, my beautiful one, now
Your sins into me
As a rapturous voice escapes, I will tremble a prayer
And I'll beg for forgiveness"
"Your sins into me"
"Your sins into me"
He entered his private quarters and turned on the water in his tube. He loved the way magic worked because in five minutes the tube was full. He threw off his over robes and was left with a simple pair of black robes on underneath. How ironic. He thought. He lowered himself into the tub and laid back under the water. Her didn't bother to take a breath, after all why should he?
"Cold in life's throws"
"I'll fall asleep for you"
He wondered why his colleges were not trying to help him. They were just standing there, watching and singing with him. Then he saw it in their eyes. They wanted to help, they wanted to stop him but the song, and the spell controlled them. He didn't want to look at them instead he looked to the roof there was a small window that was open nears the roof. He barely noticed it in his time.
"Cold in life's throws"
"I only ask you turn away"
He began to fell his body give in. he knew he would soon breath in the water. He was conflicted with his emotions to give in and to keep trying.
"Cold in life's throws"
"I'll fall asleep for you"
He felt his eyes droop with heaviness. It wouldn't be long now.
"Cold in life's throws"
"I only ask you turn
As they seep... into me,"
Suddenly through the open window blasted a ball fire. Though it wasn't exactly a ball of fire it was Fawkes. These caused Albus jump out of the tub and take a giant breath. Coughed for a few seconds and then found Fawkes. His bird gave him a bird smile and held out his leg that had a letter tied to it.
Albus took the letter and read it. It was from Minerva. After he was done he reread twice. And was out of the door before he even had time to think.
" Oh, my beautiful one, now"
He just ran fast and the water splattered at every footfall and students who jumped out of the way gave him looks of curiosity. Some even shook their heads and thought it was one of his crazy ways.
"Your sins into me"
"Oh, my beautiful one
Your sins into me
As a rapturous voice escapes, I will tremble a prayer
And I'll beg for forgiveness"
"Your sins into me"
"Your sins into me... oh"
As he dashed down the corridors he saw Minerva leaving her office. She looked up and saw a soaking wet Albus run at her. Unsure of what to do she let a small scream as he grabbed her in a giant hug. Albus spun her around before putting her down and kissing her. A slightly shocked and now damp Minerva backed up a bit and Albus finished his song with a dance to go with it.
"Your sins into me"
"Oh, my beautiful one, now
Your sins into me
As a rapturous voice escapes, I will tremble a prayer
And I'll beg for forgiveness"
"Your sins into me"
"Your sins into..."
"Your sins into me"
"Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one"
A/N: I had to end it happy. I don't know why but at the end of the song it seemed kind of happy. Well review if you like, it makes me happy if you do. And I will try to get the next chapter out soon.
