Disclaimer: Wow, it's the third chapter, and I haven't even put in a disclaimer yet. Well, I don't own anything except for the plot and the random characters that JK Rowling never assigned, ok? I also don't own The Counting Crows or their songs.
I looked at my watch as the last girl left the seventh year girl's dorm. I was free to get dressed.
I had planned it so that I wouldn't actually get into my outfit nor do my hair's color until everyone left. No one was going to see my outfit until I got into the Great Hall for the ball, and even then, I was banking on not being recognized. If someone figured out who I was, so be it.
The first thing I did was put the hair dye that I made for extra credit in Potions in my hair. It was sky blue, just like the rest of my outfit. The costume consisted of a harlequin mask and a ball gown. Add an aquamarine necklace, earrings to match, and blue makeup, don't forget the blue shoes, of course, and you had me, dressed as a sky goddess. I wasn't quite sure what inspired it. I guess it was a subconscious thought from that lesson in History of Magic with the Greek Mythology or something like that. Did the Greeks even have a Sky Goddess? Whatever, I digress.
So, it took me a little while after everyone left to put my dress on. It would have taken a shorter time if I didn't accidentally throw my wand throw my wand in a place where a pile of clothes were placed. Didn't really think that through, did I?
Anyway, I finally dug out my wand and finally got the back of my all tied and zipped up, I put my shoes, and I walked out of the dorm.
Let me tell you, in high heels, it is very hard to get to from Ravenclaw tower to the Great Hall.
The party was in full swing by the time that she got there. Mostly I kept to the back. No one seemed to recognize me, so was that good or bad?
SI sat down at a table. Eventually, a boy in a white mask and suit sat down next to me.
"Who are you supposed to be?" he asked.
"A sky goddess," I said.
"It's very pretty," he complimented me.
"Thank you," I said. "And are you the Phantom of the Opera?"
"If you want to think that," he said.
"So, you're just a guy in a white mask," I said.
"Pretty much," he nodded. I laughed.
We sat there. It felt like I knew him, I just couldn't tell where from.
"Hey, uh, you wanna dance?" he asked me.
"Ok," I said.
At that moment, some muggle song came on.
So
she said what's the problem baby
What's the problem I don't know
Well maybe I'm in love (love)
Think about it every time
I
think about it
Can't stop thinking 'bout it
How much longer
will it take to cure this
Just to cure it cause I can't ignore it
if it's love (love)
Makes me wanna turn around and face me but I
don't know nothing 'bout love
Come on, come on
Turn a
little faster
Come on, come on
The world will follow
after
Come on, come on
Cause everybody's after love
So
I said I'm a snowball running
Running down into the spring that's
coming all this love
Melting under blue skies
Belting out
sunlight
Shimmering love
Well baby I surrender
To the
strawberry ice cream
Never ever end of all this love
Well I
didn't mean to do it
But there's no escaping your love
These
lines of lightning
Mean we're never alone,
Never alone, no,
no
Come on, Come on
Move a little closer
Come on, Come
on
I want to hear you whisper
Come on, Come on
Settle down
inside my love
Come on, come on
Jump a little higher
Come
on, come on
If you feel a little lighter
Come on, come on
We
were once
Upon a time in love
We're accidentally in love
Accidentally in love x7
Accidentally
I'm In Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
I'm
in Love, I'm in Love,
Accidentally x2
Come
on, come on
Spin a little tighter
Come on, come on
And the
world's a little brighter
Come on, come on
Just get yourself
inside her
Love ...I'm in love
"Interesting song," he said. When it was over, we went for a walk outside.
"Yep," I agreed. I was shivering from the cold.
"You know, when we were dancing, I felt this weird connection between us."
"Yeah, me too," I said. "Weird."
He nodded and then looked at me. "You're lips are blue," he laughed. "They match your outfit. Here, let me warm them up for you."
He leaned in and kissed me. It felt so… right. Still, I needed to know one thing. "This is a little awkward if we don't even know each other's names."
"Ok," he said, smiling. "I'll go first. Hi, I'm Scorpius Malfoy."
NO!
I ran off.
I could hear his feeble, "Wait up!" behind me, but I just kept running. I didn't stop running until I got back to the door.
