Chapter 5: Lunar Moons
A/N 1: "Your Star" (the song featured in this chapter) belongs to Evanescence, the band who sings this song and Amy Lee, the writer. I am not making any money off this so don't sue me!
A/N 2: In this world the Evanescence band does not exist, its songs are going to be used in various chapters though out this story because I do not feel like making up new songs. The Songs that appear in this story are not belonging to be, and belong to the original creators.
A/N 3: I would like to warn you that right as you start to read this chapter there is character death. There will be a few more after this one so if you do not like reading vividly about the deaths that occur, and prefer not to read gory details do not read them. In fact, if you don't like extremely depressing versions of Harry, and stories where Harry becomes a killer and actually enjoys it (he will only be killing the bad guys in this one with the exception of one person) then this is not the story for you. Thanks for reading my story guys!
A/N 4: Also I know I said I wasn't going to do anymore until after thanksgiving but I changed my mind its too much fun to write! Any who here's chapter 5!
Her body lay on the harsh, wet mud beneath her. The rain continued to beat lightly upon her naked skin. The blood falling from her body continued to mix into the mud. Her eyes were closed and her hangs clutched the mud that had become her mattress. The one who did this to her left long ago but she was still too frightened to get up.
Tears began to cover her face, one after another like an endless river of water. The shivering began when the rain ceased to fall and it never stopped. Her body continued to shake for sometime until the blood fell no more. Her body stopped moving altogether then and her heart no longer beat.
After a while a strange looking, wolf-like creature came towards her. It sniffed her scent and slowly, so very slowly that it seemed an eternity, it opened its mouth so that its teeth showed and then bit down, piercing the skin of the body who's soul had gone only a few moments ago, and pulled back. After tearing the slab of meat from the body he began to chew. He repeated this process until dawn arrived. The creature let out a howl of pain and suddenly someone who was known to the former students of Hogwarts as the old DADA professor, one Remus Lupin. When his change from Wolf to Human was complete he continued his meal, no change in his presence was at all noticeable.
Back in the city of London, not too far away from the Hogwarts island Ginny Weasley stood in the back of the stage. She was on piano; Fred and George were on guitar while bill was on drums. She played a sad melody on the piano while the singer of the group stepped up. The melody was slow and high as she pressed the keys on the piano.
"I can't see your star." Sang the center stage while Ginny herself sang the next line, the same words and the same notes, "I can't see your star." It was as if she were echoing the other girl. Bill, Fred and George had yet to play their parts.
The center stage continued again with her part, "though I patiently waited, bedside, for the death of today" it was the same slow beat.
Ginny started this time, "I can't see your star" she held out the word star for a few seconds while the center stage started her part again. "The Mechanical lights of Lisbon frightened it away." The sad look remained in both girls eyes. Ginny looked as though she were about to cry.
The beat became slightly faster. The one on center stage started once more, "And I'm alone now. Me and all I stood for. We're all wondering now. All in parts in pieces swim lonely." She went lower as she sang this last part; "Find your own way out" the violins played in the background seemingly from no where.
The guitars, Fred and George, started in the middle of the verse then at the end of the verse, the drums, Bill, started.
After a few more seconds they went back to the beginning of the song, only it was faster this time. "I can't see your star." Then Ginny echoed the phrase, "I can't see your star." And then the center stage started again, "How can the darkness feel so wrong?" the silver hair of the center stage flew around while she started to dance with her hips, Ginny soon to fallow.
It was Ginny's turn to sing again, "And I'm alone now. Me and All I stood for. We're all wondering now. All in parts in pieces swim lonely, find your own way out." She went lower on the last part. Her piano solo came them. She played for a while then after words the center stage started to sing again,
"So far away. Its growing colder without your love. Why can't you feel me? Calling your name? Can't break the silence. Its breaking me." The movement of her hips became more deliberate, and swift. She lifted her hands up over her head and closed her eyes, her voice was amplified with out a microphone. Then Ginny let out a "ahh" and gradually it began to get louder until finally the center stage sang again only this time, it was as if she were screaming the words yet still keeping the musical quality. "All my fears turn into rage!" her head bent backwards and she stepped forwards towards the audience and then as she stopped moving the music stopped too. Then it started again with the same slow beat it had in the beginning. The center stage seemed to glare at everyone who was looking at her. "AND I'M ALONE NOW!" she sang so loud it almost hurt. "ME AND ALL I STOOD FOR! WE'RE ALL WONDERING NOW! ALL IN PARTS IN PIECES SWIM LONELY!" when she grew lower she became quieter. As the music continued in the background she began to sway her hips again. Ginny was in the background with her piano and her voice, "Ahh. Ahh." She sang over and over again while the Center Stage sang. "Nothing worth. Fighting for. We're all wondering now. All in parts and pieces swim lonely. Find my your own way out!" And then as the last piece of the song approached she bent her head backwards so her throat was showing clearly she became louder, "FIND YOUR OWN WAY OUT!"
Ginny's heart pounded and the music stopped suddenly. Each band member was breathing heard. A Minute passed. Then a second and finally a loud noise filled the dark cryptic restaurant. Then another and another until finally the sounds became one with each other as the audience clapped for their performance.
