A/N: Mia's a bit -ahem- "emotional" in this chappie as well.

Eh! I'm sorry! -has risen from grave- One more thing! Though the title says Shower Singers, it's not even in a shower. At all. In fact, they haven't bathed since..uhh...three chapters ago. -makes face- I'll fix that soon though. Don'tchu worry!
Chapter Five: Shower Singers Part Two
I groaned and rolled over, my head pounding. I saw a figure out of the corner of my eye, and the the room was dark, I dismissed it as my mom. "M..om?"
She made a shushing noise. When she spoke her voice was somewhat different, but, I assumed that she had a cold. "Go to sleep. You had a big day yesterday."
Sighing, I flopped my head down on a cooshy white pillow underneath my head. I laughed, "You'll never guess the weirdness of the dream I just had?"
"Mondo-weird?"
"'Mondo-weird?' What?"
"Never mind." She chuckled. "So, tell me...what was the dream about?"
"Me and Ashley...we went to-to Hogwarts..." I felt my tongue dry out and I had to gulp to wet it. "She fell in love with Remus, and...and I was dating Black. Until I turned into a Vampire, then I wasn't. And Black kept trying to trick me into telling him that we're not Witches."
I heard her stop breathing and the sound of her fumbling around in the dark. "Oh? Really? Well...that's...that's..."
"Weird. I know. But, the thing is, it felt so--" a light was turned on and I looked up to find Lily staring at me, her mouth opened and eyes wide. "--real."
I blinked at her and slapped my forehead. "DAMN!"

"I don't know..." I murmmered.
"You don't know! Ha!" Lily threw her hands in the air, then put them on her hips and paced the room. "That's a fine excuse. Wonderful! You didn't tell anyone that you're from a different dimension, a different country, a different decade, and that you're not even a witch, and you don't know why."
I rubbed the tip of my nose. "Yeah...that just about sums it up."
She continued her pacing, but now looked hurt. "Did you even plan on telling us? Any of us? Me? James? Remus?" She looked at me, pausing her movements for a moment. "Black?!"
I stood, up rushing to my own defense. "Of course I did! I'm not stupid! And it's not like you'd've told me!"
"Yes I would have! There's been no reason not to!"
"You mean besides the fact that people would think that you've gone crazy, that you'd lose all dignity, possibly lose all of my friends because they'd over-react, and I just may be kick out of the Wizarding World!"
She was silent. "Do you know how difficult you've been making things? Having no one there that you can tell things to?"
I raised my upper lip, bearing my teeth. "I did have someone. Three someones! Back home! I had three someones who'd never belive this! Two who probably think that me and the third one are dead! Now, if you'll please, just please, let me know HOW that could be any MORE difficult, I'd be JUST WONDERFULLY HAPPY!"
She blinked at me. "...I know how you must--"
I gave a hollow laugh. "Yeah. Because you've been transported magically away from your home and was then made into a Vampire."
Lily blushed. "No...Well...I mean..."
I stood up, ready to leave the room. "Azure!"
I turned to her. "What?"
"Are...Are you..."
"No." I looked at her sadly. "No, I'm not."

Sirius had his ear pressed hard against the door. He heard Lily and Azure's muffled voices, but, no more. He squinted his eyes in consentraiton, and bit his lower lip. He heard foot-steps coming his way. He distinctly heard Lily say, "Are...Are you..."
Then he heard Azure's voice and almost cried. "No, I'm not." She sounded so hurt. Like her heart had been torn open and all the feeling in her life was meaningless. Sirius knew this feeling. He had felt that feeling when he had been exiled from his family. Most people would say he was 'disinherited', but, to Sirius, it was all the same. True, he had James' house and the love of the adult Potter's, but, it could never replace the love of a family. Or, in his case, the lack thereof.
Cursing, he pushed himself off of the door and ran into the library, which Azure would have to pass to get anywhere in the Potter's mansion. He sighed, grabbing the red acustic guitar that he had sitting on a big cushy chair. No checking to make sure she was coming, he took a deep breath, and steady out his hand. He looked down, making sure that his hair fell infront of his face.
"What
day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I
can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much
time..."
Sirius gave a small smile as he thought about the song. He'd purposly chosen a Muggle song, knowing very little of them. He didn't know if Azure would enjoy the song or not, or whether she would ever tell him something after he played, if she liked it at all.
"'Cause
it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing
to lose
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't
know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you..."
He heard footsteps outside the library door, and pushed his voice so it came out louder, so she would be tempted to enter the room.
"One
of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right
I'm
tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know
where to go from here..."
Her heard her gasp and walk forward more. He swore that he could hear her whispering the words with him. He looked up, to see her staring intently at him. Her eyebrows were creased, her hand on her chest. Her head was slowly swaying with the rythm of the music. Sirius looked at her eyes, making sure that she was doing the same.
"'Cause
it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing
to prove
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't
know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you..."
She put a hand to her lips and slowly mouthed the words. He offered her a small smile, still not breaking eye-contact. She raised her eyebrows at him. His words suddenly became more intense, as if everything that escaped his lips was nothing but the pure, honest to God truth.
"There's something
about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is
beautiful
Everything she does is right..."
Azure flushed, and turned to leave. Sirius panicked for some reason, not wanting her to leave. He riverted to a new song, praying that it might make her stay. He began an up-beat and sang out loudly,
"Woke
up from my sleep to the sound of that voice
From the words that I
heard I had no choice
They told me I had to turn around
My
assurance slowly faded down
And I wonder..."
Sirius smiled widely as she stopped, even if she was stopping just because the song began in such an interesting way.
"Will
I ever make it home
Will I ever leave the ground
Leave this
place so far behind..."
She walked back to him, this time not singing along. This worried Sirius. Did he pick the wrong song? Did she hate it? When he looked at her face, he saw that she was looking at him carefully. He almost sighed with relief but, instead continued quickly.
"The
plans that I had were quickly destroyed
The problem was one I
couldn't avoid
They welcomed me to stay overnight
I'm too tired
to complain so i just might
And I wonder..."
Azure sat down infront of him, incredibly close to his knees. He almost gasped as she layed her head down on them. He held the sound back, and settled for letting his eyes widen. Somehow, he managed to keep his voice steady, even though he was purely shocked.
"Will
I ever make it home
To the place I recognize
Far from here and
where I've been
And all the places that I've been shown
Will I
ever make it home
Can they keep me here for good
Where I hardly
know a soul
And my fear keeps going on..."
He felt her let out a shuddering sigh, but continued, dismissing it as a sigh that said she was content.
"My
weariness keeps growing inside
My patience is starting to
subside
And I hope I'll be there soon
It can't be long or I'll
fall through..."
She put her hands underneath her legs, and sniffed loudy.
"Will
I ever make it home
Will I ever leave the ground
Leave this
place so far behind
Till there is no turning back
Will I ever
make it home
Get to where I wanna be
Find the ones who wait
for me
To the place where I belong
Will I ever make it
home?"
Sirius finished the song with a flurish and looked down explectantly at Azure. Instead of the applause that he was looking for, all he got was a watery-eyed teenaged-Vampiress sobbing on his knee.
Sirius, made tutting noises and pulled her onto his lap, rocking her like a baby. "Shh...shh...Love, what's wrong?"
"Th-that s-song..." she wailed, pressing her face in the crook of his neck.
Sirius was very confused. "The song? Which one?"
"The la-ah-s-st wo-un..."
He patted her hair down flat. "It's just a song. I swear. It means nothing to me, and I doubt it did to Ingram Hill either."
"I-I-Ing-r-ah-ah-ahm Hi-i-ill?"
Sirius smiled, glad to have gotten her to change the subject. "The song was by--"
"I get it."
She was no longer crying, but looking at him. "Where'd you learn those songs?"
He grinned. "You don't go to a school with Muggle-Borns for six years and not learn a few of their songs."
She laughed, then quickly became silent. It soon, very soon, became apparent that they were extremly close.
Sirius gulped as his steely eyes locked meaningfully with Azure's black one's. He could count all of her eyelashes if he wanted to. But, no one's saying he did. He blinked slowy, and leaned forward. He expected Azure to push him away, or flee, but, instead, she did the same as him.
He watched her slowly close her eyes, and he looked at her lips. There were two identical cuts on her bottom lip from where her fangs had dug into it. He slowly pressed his lips to hers, greatly enjoying the sensation. As she pressed back, he could feel two large bumps which were clearly the tools of the trade of his Vampiress.
He continued kissing her, but his mind froze. Wait. My Vampiress? What the Hell?!
He felt her slightly open her mouth, and he closed his eyes.
Suddenly, he realized why he'd done all this in the first place. He pulled away from her, and stood up, knocking her to the floor. "Sirius!"
He felt like the room was spinning. How had all this happened? He kissed Azure? She was his Vampiress? She now refered to him as Azure? All this in ten minutes!
"I...I hafta...I hafta...you know...toilet..." and he ran out.
