The point of no return

A/N: Dedication is to Mz Hellfire my only reviewer and now my best friend. So ha to all you out there. The position has been filled.

Meanwhile, Joey, Blaise and Draco are seen making their way to the dressing room, the managers in high spirits, bearing champagne.

Draco said excited, "A tour de France! No other way to describe it."

Blaise replied, "What a relief, not one single refund. Richard I think we made quite a discovery with Miss Daae."

Draco was indicating Christine's dressing room. "Here we are monsieur le Vicomte."

Joey replied, "If you wouldn't mind this is one vist I would like to make unaccompanied."

Draco says, "As you wish."

"They appear to have met before." commented Blaise.

Joey knocks on the door and enters.

"Christine Daae, where is your scarf?" Joey said in mock anger.

Zara looked at him, "Monsieur?"

Joey continued, "You can't have lost it. After all the trouble I took. I was just fourteen and soaked to the skin…"

Zara's eyes widened, "Because you had to go into the sea and fetch my scarf. Oh, Raoul. So it is you!"

"Christine."

They embraced and laughed. Zara started to move towards her dressing table and sat down.

Joey started to sing, " Little Lotte let her mind wander.."

"You remember that too?" asked Zara

Joey sang on, Little Lotte thought: Am I fonder of dolls"

Zara joined in, ".. or of goblins, of shoes…."

Zara sang alone, "…. or of riddles or of frocks…"

Joey said, "Those picnics in the attic. Or of chocolates…."

Zara smiled, "Father playing the violin."

"As we read to each other dark stories of the North." finished Joey

Zara sang in response, "No. What I love best Lotte said, is when I'm asleep in my bed, and the Angel of Music sings songs in my head.

They both sang, "The Angel of Music sings songs in my head."

Zara turned to face Joey and said, "Father said, "When I'm in heaven, child, I will send the Angel of Music to you". Well father is dead now Raoul, and I have been visited by the Angel of Music."

"Oh, no doubt about it. And now we go to supper." Joey said back.

Zara said quickly, "No, Raoul. The Angel of Music is very strict."

"I shan't keep you up late." said Joey laughing.

"No, Raoul…."

"You must change. I must get my hat. Two minutes Little Lotte."

Joey hurries out.

Raoul!" Zara cried. "Things have changed Raoul."

Zara can here tremulous music. She hears Harry's voice from behing her dressing room mirror.

Harry gathered up all his anger and sang in outrage, "Insolent boy! This slave of fashion basking in your glory. Ignorant fool! This brave young suitor, sharing in my triumph!"

Zara sang back spell bound, "Angel I hear you. Speak. I listen. Stay by my side guide me! Angel, my soul was weak. Forgive me. Enter at last Master!"

"Flattering child you shall know me. See why in shadow I hide! Look at your face in the mirror -I am there inside!" Harry sang back

You can now see Harry behind the mirror.

"Angel of Music guide and guardian. Grant to me your glory. Angel of Music hide no longer. Come to me strange Angel!"

Harry sang in a whisper, "I am your Angel of Music. Come to me Angel of Music."

Zara walks towards the miror. Meanwhile Joey is back he hears the voice and is puzzled. He tries to open the door but find it locked.

"Whose is that voice? Who is that in there!" Joey shouts.

Inside the dressing room the mirror opens. Behind it, in an inferno of white light stands the Phantom. He reaches forward and takes Christine firmly but not fiercely, by the hand. His touch is cold and Zara gasps.

"I am your Angel of music. Come to me Angel of Music."

Zara disappears through the mirror, which closes behind her. The door of the dressing room suddenly unlocks and swings open, and Raoul enters to find the room empty.

"Christine! Angel!"
