Chapter Three:

Four Summers gone and Four Winters Passed

Harri stood on the platform that was awaiting its cue to send its cargo up to the stage. Her ears rang with the screams of the crowd and the thumping of their feet jumping along the floor. She could smell the smoke billowing on stage from the special effects, well magic effect really. Her backstage crew where all wizards and witches graced with talent for charms and potions that cause effects. With a quick drink from a winged heart shaped locket around her neck she felt the humming of her body as the aging potion she always drank before a public appearnce transformed her into what the crowd knew her as. Her small ten-year-old body morphed under a swirling water like mist and emerged a beautiful sixteen year old with lush curves and plump breasts. This new life had been great compared to her old one. Yes, it was stressful with so many concerts, ad shoots, interviews, photo shoots, modeling and sponsoring, as well as magic training, spell training, potions and flying lessons, but it was a dream come true to. She was free... and she could be whoever she wanted to be.

She heard the gears begin to turn and the lift start to rise. She quickly smoothed out the sheer emerald green halter dress that exposed most of her skin as it trailed down to her knees, her supple breasts were encased in a black tube top, while her hips and thing were in skin tight black booty shorts, her feet were hugged by ankle heeled boots the same emerald color as her sheer dress. With a final deep breath, she started to stomp her feet to the beat of the crowd as she broke through the smoke to the screams of her fans as she finally took the stage. She moved forward as she saw her bandmates take their places and motion with their heads that they were ready. She loved this feeling, but the sad thing was that unless she was performing or singing she could show no emotion on her face, that fearful night had cost her all her emotional control. But that was the past and this was the now.

She brought her hands up waving to the thousands of fans packed into the arena just out of side of Liverpool. With a small twirl of her fingers where a wand was held invisible at her lower arm sent sparks and flares of flames and mists of water to explod around her on stage in an array of beautiful shapes of animals flaring out to race over the heads of her fans. She had requested the concert containing the announcement be done here in her home country. As she looked out over the crowd her body started to vibrate and glow with the emotional tole of such love and respect that it still awed her. "Greetings my lovelies here in Liverpool, and to all my lovelies that are watching on the telly! We have a great concert for you tonight but I also have an announcement that I will be giving sometime midway through! So as my American brothers and sisters say LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!" she screamed the last part cueing her band to start with a thundering beat as her mic, which was a head set, started to play a more quitter beat as she started to sing. " Turn your face towards the sun, Let the shadows fall behind you, Don't look back, just carry on, And the shadows will never find you, Turn your face towards the sun, Let the shadows fall behind you, Don't look back, just carry on, And the shadows will never find you "

She felt the movement of the air and vibration of the crowd as she started to move through the smoke in jumps and spins. Her arms floating to a groove only she could feel. Her voice never faltered or broke as the movement seemed to be fluid across the stage. Her body spun, twirled, and even flipped through the air as she mixed dance and gymnastics into her dance. The crowd screamed louder and even started to sing along. " Lost in the rock and roll, Got lost in a promise of a love I never know, Shadows chase me far from home, I remember when my heart was filled with gold, And you know I've been burned, I've been burned I've been burned, You've seen me lose control, It's not worth it's not worth it's not worth, My soul, Turn your face towards the sun, Let the shadows fall behind you, Don't look back, just carry on, And the shadows will never find you "

Harri closed her eyes as the movement and words took hold of her soul, there was a click only she could hear as her heart opened and all the emotions she could not express openly came flooding through her body. The people watching were the key to making her feel human again, not the sarcastic, cool and almost stock person she was off stage. They were her family, as well as the company she silently added, they were what she needed to be the person she truly wished to be. Her body kneeled hiding with in the smoke as she sang out the next few verses in clouded shadows. " Lost my faith and trust, You and I know gold don't turn to rust, I still swear that we can reign, Like the kings and queens of better yesterdays, Don't you know I've been burned, I've been burned I've been burned, You've seen me lose control, It's not worth it's not worth it's not worth, My soul, Turn your face towards the sun, Let the shadows fall behind you, Don't look back, just carry on, And the shadows will never find you"

She hid the tears that fell as the song brought forth the corresponding memories that haunted her, those memories that gave birth to such a powerful song. She smiled darkly, almost sinisterly as she exploded up into the air with a great leap doing three or four flips in the air before landing into an elaborate break dance before standing and moving in jerky movements back and forth with her arms twisting and bending. She raised her arms up breathing heavy as she sings the last verses. "Where you gonna go where you gonna go where you gonna run to, When you get to the edge of the night, Its time you face the sky, Turn your face towards the sun, Let the shadows fall behind you, Don't look back, just carry on, And the shadows will never find you, Turn your face towards the sun, Let the shadows fall behind you, Don't look back, just carry on, And the shadows will never find you, Turn your face towards the sun, Let the shadows fall behind you "

The crowd roared to life as her band slowed to a soft beat and then not at all. Harri smiled before her feet started tapping and the next song started, hour by hour that was how it went. Harri hated taking breaks because it dimmed the emotional feel she had. So as song by song went by the crowd kept up its tempo and roar. Right before the last song of the 3-hour concert was to happen a silence went over the crowd as Harri stood front and center stage, her band not making a sound.

"I hope all my lovelies have enjoyed this concert. My next few will be at small private charity functions. However, I did promise you some juicy gossip didn't I. My esteemed record company Black Moon Inc. has decided to hold a competition to find their next new star. I was found rather unusually, but the next star to shine on our stages will be found this July on the 31st! Come on down, sign up, and sing your heart out. Maybe the next star to stand beside me will be one of you!" Harri smiled as she signaled for a flood of flyers to be dropped from the rafters. "Now to finish this wonderful night I have a new song just for you to spark that inspiration and fan the flame inside your hearts that will have you all clamoring to come and compete for the top prize!" with that said her band picked up once more.

Harri was clapping her hands and she moved with subtle twirls and jerking motions of her hips as she danced as if on a rather provocative stripper dance, though her motions were sexual in appearance they were tamer then the real thing " Here I am, once again, Feeling lost but now and then, I breathe it in to let it go, And you don't know, Where you are now, Or what it would come to, If only somebody could hear, When you figure out how, You're lost in the moment, You disappear, You don't have to be afraid to put your dream in action, You're never gonna fade you'll be the main attraction, Not a fantasy, Just remember me, When it turns out right, 'Cause you know that if you live in your imagination, Tomorrow you'll be everybody's fascination, In my victory, Just remember me, When I make it shine! "

Harri's singing seemed to take on a secret magic of its own as a silvery glow and mist seeped out from her moving body on stage to flood down on the floor of the concert hall. Now there were plenty of wizards and witches in the crowd but none noticed this magic, it was seeking very special and very certain people.

Right up front with front row seats was a pale skinned and silverish golden blonde haired boy, no more then ten. Draco Malfoy was there with his current nanny. His parents, his father was never around and his mother who was harsh and hateful, would never have approved but the nanny thought this was a great adventure for the shut-in boy. He had loved Siren since she had debuted 4 years ago. He never noticed or felt the tendrils of silver colored magic as it wrapped around and surround him, it seeped into his head and unlocked a hidden door in his heart.

Suddenly the thoughts of going to the audition flooded his mind, it was not simply a want but a need to go. A calling he could not ignore and knew that what awaited him there was something he would treasure forever if he could only just reach it. His body seemed to come alive as his normally stock façade broke, emotions he never knew he had were freed, he started to dance and sing along louder than anyone near him, much to the shock and joy to his nanny who knew this night may very well get her fired but boy did her charge need this freedom occasionally.

A few rows back there was another blonde, though this time a sweet not all there, little girl on her father's shoulders. Her thin and frail body was around nine-years-old. Her silvery eyes could just make out the silver magic that seemed to lace through the crowd before swirling up to embrace her like a welcoming and loving hug. Luna Lovegood had begged her papa to bring her, even though she was not quite well from the dragon pox she had had a few weeks before. She loved Siren, she was her every dream come true. She couldn't wait to grow up to be just like her.

While swinging to the beat she clutched a flyer in her small arms, her papa said that should she be well enough she could go and audition, though he felt that her age would be a big hurdle. Luna just couldn't wait. This song sang to her heart, the magic that seemed to hug her every fiber was making her feel better every second. This was a dream come true and soon, she hoped, a bigger dream of standing side by side with Siren would be with in her reach. " Reaching high, Feeling low, I'm holding on but letting go, I like to shin, I'll shine for you, And it's time to show the world how, It's a little bit closer, As long as I'm ready to go, All we have is right now, As long as you feel it inside you know..., You don't have to be afraid to put your dream in action, You're never gonna fade you'll be the main attraction, Not a fantasy, Just remember me, When it turns out right, 'Cause you know that if you live in your imagination, Tomorrow you'll be everybody's fascination, In my victory, Just remember me, When I make it shine! "

In the higher back rows, dubbed the commoner rows, sat a little girl beside her mother. Her lush brown hair was piled high in a curled pony tail. She wore clothes decked head to toe in Siren's logos. Hermione Granger laced her hand through her mother's hand and tightly squeezed as another sign of the many times she had said thank you. Her mother smiled down and then returned to the concert, secretly her mother was a major Siren fan herself. Hermione danced and jumped along with her hero on stage, she never once noticed the silver strings that weaved and tightened around her heart and body in a silver glow, but once they had taken hold all she could think about what begging her parents to let her go audition, it was a calling she could not ignore. A gleam had sparked in her mind, and she already had the perfect audition song, she just hoped Siren didn't mind her using it. " Everyone can tell you how it's all been said and done, That harder times will change your mind and make you wanna run, But you want it, And you need it, Like you need to breathe the air, If they doubt you, Just believe it, That's enough to get you there, You don't have to be afraid to put your dream in action, You're never gonna fade you'll be the main attraction, Not a fantasy, Just remember me, When it turns out right, 'Cause you know that if you live in your imagination, Tomorrow you'll be everybody's fascination, In my victory, Just remember me, When I make it SHINE! "

The final verses of the song reached out to a tall little girl standing beside her little sister and a rather off put mother. Daphne Greengrass had begged and begged her uncle to allow her to go. He had made the comment that it was unbecoming for a girl of her station to beg, but had granted the permission to use some of the family money to buy tickets. Her mother had complained about the usage since their allowance was so small as it was. Her uncle had taken control of the family estate when her father died, and her mother was still sour about it for some reason. The allowance was small until Daphne was old enough to marry and get a dowry. Her trust was to be used for school and school only.

None of that matter to little ten-year-old Daphne though, all that mattered was she was watching her favorite performer live and soon she might have a chance to go to an audition to become a star like her. Her mother may fight it but she knew she could convince her it was a good idea. Suddenly she felt a warmth she hadn't ever felt before. She never noticed the silver tendrils take hold of her in a loving embrace, but suddenly the audition was all that ran through her mind. Soon... oh so soon she would be up on stage with Siren she just knew it.

As the song ended Harri took a final bow before blowing kisses out across the audience. She smiled to her fans through the cameras and walked off stage high fiving her band. As she entered her dressing room Ted, her manager, handed her another bottle to which she drank that allowed her to return too normal. She hated the taste of those potions but she knew they were needed until she look a little older. Ted ran through the rest of her night starting with the back-stage pass holders meet and greet, dinner with Liverpool's mayor and his family, and the final review of the auditions rules and regulations. God her life sucked sometimes but nothing in the world would have made her change it now, it was all too perfect, or so she thought.

Then a few weeks later in the early morning a grumpy Harri left her bedroom at the ringing of her apartments door bell. Harry growled out as she grabbed her wand and waved it at her naked state so that a sheer halt top nightie appeared on her body along with an open silk robe that dragged along the floor. After a late night Harri hated being awoken before noon, it was fucking five am for god's sake. Her small ten-year-old body could be quite frightening when she was sleep deprived. Ripping the door open she glared through blood shot and baggy eyes at Ted who stood there looking sheepish. "You better have a good reason, coffee and food to be here this early and not necessarily in that order" she growled out letting him in and then walking to her room to shower and change. She soon returned shortly with a glare still in her eyes as she waited to see either coffee or food presented.

Ted simply shook his head smiling as he placed a box of the magical worlds famous freshly made danger doughnuts, named so because of the mystery filling in each one, and a tall glass of French vanilla coffee on the table for her. "Now now… it isn't my fault you picked your birthday of all days to hold the auditions now is it" he smirked softly as she came back into the room wearing a short pleated mini skirt colored emerald and royal purple. Her royal purple crop top was off the shoulder and tight to her budding breasts. A long leather sleeveless vest the color of emerald floated around her ending at her knees. Her long thigh length ebony hair was piled into two pig tails showing off the bright royal purple highlights. "Well whose bright idea was it to schedule a charity concert the night before?" she retorted as she gulped down the coffee and munched down a doughnut or two. "Touché m'dear but do hurry up or we will be late and from what I hear the turnout is more than we expected, and while the first half is auditioning you do have a new record to record" with that said she gulped the last of her coffee, grabbed her guitar and they both left the penthouse floor taking the elevator down to the middle of the sky scraper to the recording studios.

The building housed more than just her penthouse, there was in fact a much larger seven room penthouse above her current one, but the record label didn't allow any other of their stars live in the main building, Harri was special for some unknown reason. Below the penthouses were the main recording offices, the studios, dance halls, dressing and make up rooms, and recording studios. The levels they were currently headed to where for more of the open areas of the business, these were studios and rooms rented out to other more public figures in her world that were signed onto her company's label. These were where the auditions would take place.

Harri had no problem with the auditions, it was just that she didn't feel she was right to be the judge. It just seemed unfair to have someone who was damn near emotionless outside of singing judging other's voices and emotions that came through the songs. Coming out of the private elevator Ted and Harri walked slowly towards the back entrance to the studios. Ted and his bosses had decided that allowing those here to audition to see Harri as she was normally would not be a good idea for her image and so decided to only allow the winner of the contest meet her later that day.

After arriving to the small studio that she preferred when not in her private one she quickly settled her stuff down and pulled a bottle of water from a small fridge and gulped it down, she really needed to lay of the coffee as all it did was dry her throat out. She smiled softly to herself as she sat on a small stool and strummed her guitar softly to bring forth the mood she needed to sing. She knew little of what waited down the hall and around the corners, she hoped to find at least someone with talent, and if they happened to be magical like her along the way so much the better, at least then she wouldn't need to hide her wand or magical training from anyone she was getting close to.

Down the hall and around some of the vast corners stood a long, long, long line of people waiting to audition. Along the walls above their heads were posters of different bands represented by Black Moon Inc, but a lot of the posters were of Siren in different costumes, hairstyles, and poses. These were those who wanted desperately to be found and made into a star. Along the wall sitting in chairs, leaning against walls, curled on the floor reading sheet music were all ages of men, women, girls, and boys all waiting their turn to sing.

A girl around nine with bright red hair was huddled with a boy about 10 with the same bright red hair. "Do you understand your parts of the song Ron. You need to know them perfectly and remember don't you dare try to outshine me or I will make your life a living hell. Mother said I was to be the star." Ginny ground out as she shoved the sheet music at Ron. "I still don't understand why it has to be you and not me" Ron grumbled before going back to the sheet music. Beside them stood five older boys with the same hair, though unlike their youngest siblings who were talking and scheming they held faces of apprehension and boredom. They still didn't understand how their mother roped them in to be their youngest siblings band. They were all stationed at the relatively front of the line.

Down from them stood a boy ten years of age. Draco was leaned against the wall strumming a guitar, his platinum blonde hair was slicked back and his silver blue eyes were locked on the floor where sheet music rested.

About ten people further down was a lean looking ten-year-old girl with bushy brown hair and hazel eyes hidden behind large glasses. Hermione was wrapped in a soft jacket as she held sheet music in shaking hands, a guitar leaned against her side. About five people down was another ten-year-old girl with sunflower yellow hair piled up on her head in soft curls. Daphne was shaking with nerves as she waited, her music was on a small magic induced iPod she had snatched from an older cousin before sneaking her through a floo down the street in a wizards pub.

Only a few people away from Daphne was a mousey nine-year-old girl with silvery blonde hair and large sky blue eyes. Luna was a shy little girl; her father had told her this would boost her confidence regardless of the outcome. She held onto a scrappy piece of paper with a hand-written song on it, something she written down as it came to her through a day dream.

Along the wall above the heads of many of the people waiting where posters of different concerts and CD covers that Siren had done. The one just above a large water fountain in front of Hermione displayed Siren on a large stage with spot lights of all colors raining down on her sparkling ebony and royal purple hair that seemed to float and dance around her body. The background had a beautiful island sunset and waves crashing up against the back stage. Gripping the sheet music to her chest she hums a melody softly through the air before picking up her guitar and strumming a melody along with her humming. As she rocks back and forth she starts to sing out softly, not even thinking about everyone hearing the song "Look at her in the spotlight, I love her purple hair, She can do what she wants to, As crazy as she dares, She doesn't need to be polite, I wish I had her life, Then I would be so free, I wish I had her life, I'd be another me " the song lifted her higher as the music cascaded down the line and before Hermione noticed another voice joined in with hers along with the song, as well as another guitar strumming along from somewhere right in front of her in line.

Daphne was pulled from her thoughts and music as a melody drifted down from a few people in front of her, it was a beautiful song. Looking up she noticed a poster along the opposite wall of a CD cover from Siren's latest album. Siren was pictured in a large royal throne room with her lounged across the throne sideways, a beautiful tiara dangled sideways off one of her long pig tails. Daphne continued to stare as her own voice broke free to add lyrics to the soft melody being played " Look at her in the throne room, every hair just right, She has tea in the morning, And bonbons every night, Wouldn't that be nice, I wish I had her life, Then I would be so free, I wish I had her life, I'd be another me " and just as her voice drifted of softly she heard a male join it further up with the continuous lyrics they seemed to created out of thin air.

Draco loved the sounds that they were making, the song seemed to flow out from the very air. He looked up and towards a beautiful poster of Siren walking through a manor's gardens with a gentle breeze blowing rose petals around her in a gentle cyclone, her bright white wedding dress flowing in waves around her. The poster was from a wedding magazine ad she had posed for just weeks before. He could neither see nor speak to those singing along with the melody but it almost seemed as if he could feel the energy in the lyrics that the three of them were weaving. His voice rose softly but deeply as he joined in with the song " They'd do my nails, I'd stroll the grounds, I would wear whatever, And then I'd rock, Have time for me, It just might happen, Never, I wish I had her life, Then I would be so free " he smirked as he heard hushed whispers from the other people around him about how the song seemed to come from nowhere yet everywhere.

Draco, Hermione, and Daphne continued to strum and hum along with the inner most melody that seemed to scream from their hearts. Their voices became louder and clearer as the lyrics they were unconsciously creating through an invisible bond as all three of their voices melded for the final chorus and lyrics " And everything would suddenly, Be just the way that I dreamed it could be, I wish I had her life, I wish I had her life, I wish I had her life, I wish I had her life, Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, So beautiful and bright, I wish I had her life" and just as soon as the melody and song started it slowly came down from its high and tittered out as Draco and Hermione strummed the last few cords and slowly stopped to take on deep breaths. There breathing seemed to labor as magic strummed through their bodies, though Hermione could explain nothing to what she was feeling.

Down the hall Luna was smiling as she slowly stopped swaying to the song, she just knew that today would be something to remember. It seemed it wasn't just her the fates had plans for. She couldn't wait to see what would become of the four of them.

Soon the hall heard a ringing tone run through the speakers as a voice could be heard telling them that they would be starting the auditions any moment and that they could enjoy the singing styles of the talents already contracted as they waited. Hermione, Draco, Luna and Daphne hoped beyond hoped that they would get to hear Siren sing for them today.
