One Last Kiss, Say I Love You Chapter 5: I will find out who you are, a harry potter fanfic

Professor McGonagall led the Gryffindors down to the Great Hall for the ball. Emma was on Harry's arm and Hermione was on Ron's. Both girls looked very pleased and the boys kept glaring at the guys who dared to look at Emma and Hermione. Emma laughed at this. Harry was dressed as a vampire and Ron was, well Emma didn't really know what Ron was but he looked a little bit creepy. Professor McGonagall stopped right before the doors to the Great Hall and they all waited for the other houses to arrive.

"Ms. Thomas? Could I please speak with you for a moment?" asked the Professor. Emma nodded nervously and followed the teacher over away from everyone.

"Ms. Thomas, Professor Dumblebore was wondering if you would be willing to sing once or twice during the ball," said McGonagall. Emma was shocked, "M-me?" she squeaked. Professor McGonagall nodded, "We asked your friends if they thought you would be good for the job and they all immediately said yes so we thought we would ask you." Emma contemplated for a moment, gave the professor her answer and headed back over to her friends. They all glanced at each other and looked at Emma.

"What?" she asked. They all shook their heads as the doors to the Great Hall opened. There was a great gasp throughout all the students. The Great Hall had been totally transformed! Instead of the house curtains that usually hung, there were black curtains and all the candles were lit so they were the only source of light throughout the hall. There were pumpkins placed here and there and where the teacher's table usually was there was a huge stage that would soon be occupied. A table on the side had food set out on it and most of the students immediately went over to stuff their faces. Music started playing and Emma recognized the song American Idiot by Green Day.

"Why are they playing muggle songs?" Emma heard one of the students nearby ask. Emma ignored the comments and dragged Harry onto the dance floor. They both started doing head bangs, which caused some of the students to laugh and others just to stare. The song ended and by then more students had dared to go out to dance. Emma and Harry started laughing and walked off the floor to get something to drink.

"Ah, head banging does make you thirsty!" said Emma while pouring herself some punch. Harry laughed and also poured himself some punch. Emma groaned as a song by a wizarding group that she hated came on. She went and sat down at an empty table and Harry sat down beside her.

"I hate this song!" Emma exclaimed. Harry nodded and thankfully the song ended. A few songs later Harry and Emma were very tired. Dumbledore then stood up on the stage.

"I hope you all are enjoying the ball!" he said and received many cheers, "Now for this next part of the ball, we will have somewhat of a talent competition but will also provide you with entertainment and more music to dance too! First we have the band who calls themselves, um well I'm not really sure how to pronounce it but please enjoy Ohio is for Lovers!"

A group of guys came on and Emma recognized some of them as Slytherins. A guitar started and then the drums as the lead singer who was unrecognizable began to sing,

Hey there,
I know it's hard to feel like I don't care at all.
Where you are and how you feel.
Put these lights off as these wheels
keep rolling on and on. (And on and on and on...)
Slow things down or speed them up.
Not enough or way too much. (And on and on and on...)
are you and I gone?

And I can't make it on my own.
(And I can't make it all alone.)
Because my heart is in Ohio.

So cut my wrists and black my eyes.
(Cut my wrists and black my eyes)
So I can fall asleep tonight or die.
Because you kill me.
You know you do, you kill me well.
You like it too, and I can tell.
You'll never stop until my final breath is gone.

Spare me just three last words.
"I love you" is all she heard.
I'll wait for you, but I can't wait forever.

So cut my wrists and black my eyes.
(Cut my wrists and black my eyes)
So I can fall asleep tonight or die.
Because you kill me.
You know you do, you kill me well.
You like it too, and I can tell.
You'll never stop until my final breath is gone.

By the time the song ended everyone was screaming and dancing to the punk music. This was the kind of music that Emma loved but she would be singing a song called My Happy Ending that was originally by the muggle singer Avril Lavigne. After a huge round of applause the group stepped off the stage and Dumbledore once again stepped up.

"Thank you Ecuadorian Soldiers! Yes, yes I figured out how to pronounce it! Next up we have Lavender Brown singing We Belong Together," he said as Lavender stepped onto the stage. The music started and Lavender got right into it.

I Didn't Mean It
When I Said I Didn't Love You So
I Should Of Held On Tight
I Never Should've Let You Go
I Did Know Nothing
I Was Stupid
I Was Foolish
I Was Lying To Myself
I Could Not Fathom That I Would Ever
Be Without Your Love
Never Imagined I'd Be
Sitting Here Beside Myself
Cuz' I Didn't Know You
Cuz' I Didn't Know Me
But I Thought I Knew Everything
I Never Felt
The Feeling That I'm Feeling Now
Now That I Don't
Hear Your Voice
Or Even Touch And Kiss Your Lips
Cause I Don't Have A Choice
What I Wouldn't Give
To Have You Lying By My Side
Right Here Cuz' Baby

When You Left
I Lost A Part Of Me
It's Still So Hard To Believe
(Come Back Come Back)
Come Back Baby Please Cuz'
(Come Back Come Back)
WeBelongTogether
Who Else Am I Gonna Lean On
When Times Get Rough
Who's Gonna Talk To Me
On The Phone
Till' The Sun Comes Up
Who's Gonna Take Your Place
Baby Nobody Else
WeBelongTogether
I Can't Sleep At Night
When You Are On My Mind
Bobby Womack's On The Radio
Singing To Me
'If You Think You're Lonely Now'
Wait A Minute
This Is Too Deep
(Too Deep Too Deep)
I Gotta Change The Station
So I Turn The Dial
Trying To Catch A Break
And Then I Hear Babyface
I Only Think Of You
And It's Breaking My Heart
I'm Trying To Keep It Together
But I'm Falling Apart
I'm Feeling All Out Of My Element
I'm Throwing Things crying
Trying To Figure Out
Where The Hell I Went Wrong
The Pain Reflected In This Song
Ain't Even Half Of What
I'm Feeling Inside
I Need You
Need You Back In My Life Baby

When You Left
I Lost A Part Of Me
It's Still So Hard To Believe
(Come Back Come Back)
Come Back Baby Please Cuz'
(Come Back Come Back)
WeBelongTogether
Who Else Am I Gonna Lean On
When Times Get Rough
Who's Gonna Talk To Me
On The Phone
Till' The Sun Comes Up
Who's Gonna Take Your Place
Baby Nobody Else
Oh Baby Baby

When You Left
I Lost A Part Of Me
It's Still So Hard To Believe

(Ooh...Ooh)

The music slowed down and all the couples that were dancing began to break apart and cheer for Lavender. Emma was beginning to get nervous, she was next. Professor McGonagall came over to get her and led Emma over to the stage. A very flushed looking Lavender walked off the stage and Dumbledore began speaking again but Emma was tuned out.

"Good luck Emma!" said Lavender as she walked by. Emma nodded, as her mouth was to dry to speak. Emma's head snapped up as Dumbledore spoke her name. She stumbled onto the stage and took the microphone. The band that would be playing with her also walked onto the stage and the music to Emma's favorite song started playing.

Oh, oh, oh, oh,

So much for my happy ending,

Emma started to feel more confident when she saw people liked her singing,

Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something you said?
Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead held up so high
On such a breakable thread

You were all the things I thought of I knew
And I thought we could be

Now people were swaying their hands back and dancing like mad! Emma smiled and started to sing the chorus,

You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

It's nice to know you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done

He was everything, everything that I wanted

We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

The song ended and Emma stepped off the stage leaving a screaming crowd wanting more. She smiled as she walked past Professor Dumbledore. Three more people preformed after Emma and for the last time Dumbledore walked onto the stage.

"Yes I know you all must be getting very sick of me but that is all the student performances for tonight!" he said, "There will be voting and the polls will be opening momentarily, the winner will be announced at midnight. Until then, enjoy the dance!"

By now Emma had totally lost Harry but wasn't really to keen on finding him, he wasn't that great of a date anyway. She sighed and headed for the doors to the grounds. Emma strolled around and came to a stop at the edge of the lake. Singing 'My Happy Ending' had brought back many memories that Emma had been desperately trying to forget. A single tear escaped her eye as she heard someone behind her. She turned and found a boy with midnight black hair and dark blue eyes. He walked over to her, "Why aren't you inside having a great time like everyone else?" he asked.

"I could ask you the same question," Emma said while smirking. The boy nodded and sat down beside Emma. His voice was oddly familiar then Emma recognized him as the lead singer from the first band that had preformed.

"Don't you sing in that soldier group?" she asked. He smirked and nodded. Emma had definitely seen that smirk before but couldn't place it.

"You're a great singer you know that?" he said. Emma blushed and muttered 'thank you'. They say in silence until Emma spoke again.

"I feel like I know you from somewhere," she whispered turning to him. He sighed and nodded, "That's because you do."

Emma gave him a puzzled look and he turned to face her fully. What he did next was something Emma would have never guessed that anyone would do, he pulled her in for a kiss. Their lips met and Emma felt a tingle go down her spine as he gently kissed her. She slowly wrapped her arms around his neck as the kiss became more urgent. He gently licked her bottom lip as if asking for permission to enter her mouth. She gladly granted his wish and the kiss became more passionate. Emma pulled away gasping for air and turned to look into his soft blue eyes. She brushed away a couple of strands of his black hair that had fallen in his face. Once again she looked into his eyes. Bottomless blue pits that she could easily get lost in.

"We- we better head back," he whispered.

"W-who are you?" she asked.

He turned to her and smiled sadly, "One day, you'll know."

With that, the mystery boy headed back up toward the castle leaving Emma sitting there still in front of the lake. Some time later she headed back to the ball but saw no sign of the boy. Emma sighed and went over to where Hermione and Ron were sitting.

"Oh, Emma you're just in time! They're about to announce the winner of the talent competition!" Hermione said when she saw Emma sit down. Emma smiled and watched as Professor McGonagall walked onto the stage this time.

"The votes have been tallied!" she said, "And I am pleased to say that the winner iiiis," she stopped for a moment to leave all the students wondering.

"Emma Thomas!" she said loudly into the microphone. Hermione and Ron turned to face Emma and screamed while hugging her.

"Emma please come up here," said Professor McGonagall. Emma stood up and managed to stumble onto the stage. She walked over to where Professor McGonagall was and shook her hand.

"Congradulations," whispered the Professor. Emma turned and smiled at all the people who were cheering for her. In the corner of the hall Emma saw the boy, smiling and clapping proudly for her.

'One day I will find out who you are' Emma thought as she headed back up to the common room with her friends.

Oh em gee! This one is almost TEN pages long! I really like this one. Who could the mystery boy be? I'll probably reveal that in the next few chapters so until then leave comments!
