A/N: Here you go, guys! Part 2 of 3! Have fun! Also, the stupid thing on editor isn't working. When the songs are written, the underlining isn't everywhere it's supposed to be, and I gave up trying to get it to work. So, it won't be exactly how I wanted it to come out, but it's still pretty good. You can see the differences and stuff, so you can tell when I'm switching who's singing when.
Chapter 12: Allies, Revenge, and Christmas Balls, Pt. 2
Previously:
"Ha-ha-ha-ha!… That's…freaking….funny!….. Ha-ha-ha-ha!…" Ginny said, falling to the floor in laughter. She tried to get up, but each time she did she saw Damion and Draco still on their knees in a praying-to-God position and fell back down. It didn't help her to stop laughing any that the other girls were just as hysterical as she, and that Voldemort and the other adults were laughing as well. All around were people laughing at their childish antics and ideas.
"As fun as this has been," Lucius Malfoy finally said through his laughter, "it's time to eat."

"Princess Retina, you're to the right of the Dark Lord! You'll be right next to me, Draco, and Daddy! Mommy wants to sit with some of her personal guests." Trinity says.
"Wicked, Lady Trinity!" Ginny smiled as she sat. She then turned an inquisitive gaze to Alecto(who was beside Trinity), "Do princesses say 'wicked'?"
Alecto laughed, "No, but they also don't run around the Ballroom chased by boys. Or open doors to make them fall into snow, and they don't threaten to decorate their subjects in their enemies' colors. They also don't roll on the floor in hysterics, no matter how funny."
"Wow, princesses have pretty boring lives! Do princesses have any fun?"
"If they don't Retina, they certainly will now that you joined their ranks!" Trinity giggled. "Oh, look! There's the others! Par! Lu! Cho! Pan--! Oh, know what? All of you get over here! I'm not saying all your names!"
"Thanks, Trin, we feel so loved." Blaise said, fake-tearing. Ginny laughed, "I'm sure Luna will make you feel loved. Why don't you ask her to spend the night with you? I'm more than sure that she won't disagree."
"Retina!" Luna yelled blushing. "I would never, ever do what you're insinuating!"
"Aw, but don't you want Zabini to feel loved, too?" Parvati asked slyly.
"I have my own ways of making him feel loved, none of which will be disclosed to you." Luna said, blushing after she realized a second meaning. Everyone busted out laughing, ignoring the looks they got from everyone, and Luna playfully slapped Ginny, "Oh, shush up!"
"Yes, please! I can't take the torture anymore!" Draco yelled, feigning horror.
"Well, aren't all you the best little actors we've ever seen!" Nia playfully said in a n annoying-grandmother-face-pinching sort of way, "You're all just so adorable! What do you think, Bella? Aren't they the cutest things you've ever seen?"
Bellatrix cackled as she sat next to Padma, "Yes, Nia, they are the absolutecutest things I've ever seen."
"Aunt Bella!" Trinity and Draco yelled, their cries mixing with the others', "Bella, please! We're seventeen not seven."
"Well," Pansy said, "at least, we're seventeen. Trinity's twelve."
"Still much too old to be called cute. When you reach twelve, you need to at least be called hot." Grace said as she took a bite of food. "Then when you're fifteen you can start being sexy."
"What are you at thirteen and fourteen?" Trinity asked before taking a drink.
"Smexy?" Ginny supplied. The others turned to her before Theo said laughing, "Yes, Retina. We'll go with 'smexy' to describe teens at fourteen and fifteen."
"YAY! Retina made a new word! Retina made a new word! Retina made a new word!" Luna started up in her sing-song voice. The boys groaned, know full well that the other girls would start up just to annoy them.
Thankfully for them, Voldemort signaled for everyone to quiet down before the food disappeared and music started back up.
"Draco, come on!"
"What?"
"You didn't expect to not dance with me, did you?"
"And here I thought I'd get off the hook." Draco teased. He dodged a well aimed hit, "Alright, Retina, no need to get hostile!"
"If you don't wanna dance, then I'll go ask Daddy." Ginny walked away, leaving a very relieved Draco. She walked up to the thrones where Alecto and Voldemort were, "Daddy, will you dance with me? Please?"
Voldemort looked at Alecto before sighing, "Of course, Ria."

"Everyone, please quiet down." Narcissa Malfoy said. When everyone did get quiet, she continued, "Every year we have our guests, and sometimes ourselves, get up and sing for everyone. Our daughter Trinity and Miss Luna are going to start it off this year."
Trinity and Luna got up from where they were seated in the group, and ran up to the small stage like area opposite where the thrones were. (talk is Trinity…talk is Luna…talk is both)
"It was two days after the day she turned 18.
All dressed in white.
Going to the church that night.
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat.
Sixpence in her shoes
Something borrowed, something blue
And when the church doors opened wide
She put her veil down, trying to hide the tears.
Oh, she just couldn't believe it!
She heard trumpets, from the Military band,
And the flowers fell out of her hands.
Baby why'd you leave me?
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe!
It's like I'm looking from a distance,
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me,
This is just a dream.
The preacher man said,
Let us bow our heads and pray.
Lord please lift his soul,
And heal this hurt
Then the congregation all stood up and sang
The saddest song,
That she ever heard.
Then they handed her, a folded up flag
And she held on to all she had left of him.
Oh! And what could've been
And then the guns rang
One last shot
And it felt like,
A bullet in her heart.
Baby, why'd you leave me?
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know!
I can't even breathe!
It's like I'm, looking from a distance,
Standing in the background,
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now!
This can't be happening to me!
This is just a dream!!
Oooo…Baby, why'd you leave me?
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever,
Now I'll never know!
Oh, I'll never know!
It's like I'm, looking from a distance,
Standing in the background,
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now.
This can't be happening to me!
This is just a dream!!!
Oh, this is just……… a dream.
Just a dream.
Yea…..
Yeah"
The whole Ballroom cheered for the two girls as they went and sat down. Trinity and Luna were blushing madly when they sat, for everyone kept watching and congratulating them. Trinity just blushed more when Zacharias Smith and some younger boy, who they found was Anthony, came up to her.
"You were bloody brilliant, Trinity." Anthony said smiling.
Trinity, blushing like mad, smiled, "Thanks, Anthony. Luna was a great help though. I doubt I would've been able to get up and sing like that if I didn't have someone like her."
"I doubt that you'd be worse. I've heard you sing on your own, and you're amazing."
"As fun as this is," Zacharias said, giving his brother a look, "we need to get back to our seats. You two were great."
Narcissa appeared back up on stage, "Next up is the Dark Princess."
"Oh, joy." Ginny mumbled as she walked up onto the stage. She took a deep breath before starting her song,
"Green finch, and linnet bird,
Nightingale, blackbird,
How is it you sing?
How can you jubilate sitting in cages never taking wing?
Outside the sky waits
beckoning!
Beckoning!
Just beyond the bars...
How can you remain staring at the rain maddened by the stars?
How is it you sing anything?
How is it you sing?
Green finch. and linnet bird,
nightingale, blackbird
How is it you sing?
Whence comes this melody constantly floating?
Is it rejoicing or merely aloaming?
Are you discussing?
Or fussing?
Or simply dreaming?
Are you crowing?
Are you screaming?
Ringdove and robinet is it for wages?
Singing to be sold?
Have you decided it's safer in cages singing when you're told?
My cage has many rooms damask and dark...
Nothing there sings, not even my lark.
Larks never will, you know, when they're captive.
Teach me to be more adaptive.
Ah...
Green Finch, and Linnet Bird,
nightingale, blackbird,
teach me how to sing.
If I cannot fly...
Let me sing."
When she finished her song, she rushed back to her seat beside Draco, "I'm never getting up there on my own again."
"But you were better than Trinity and Luna, and they went together!" Millicent said.
"If you thought we were good before, wait until we sing our song together, all three of us." Luna smiled.
"Can't wait." Theo smirked.
They sat and watched everyone else who was to perform do so. The girls were getting bored when they realized the boys were missing.
"How do they keep disappearing on us like that?" Cho asked. "I mean, seriously! Every time we aren't looking, they leave and get back as soon as we notice they're gone!"
"Oh, there they are!…Umm, what the hell are doing up on the stage?" Padma looked at the other girls.
"Next up to perform for us," Narcissa cheerfully announced, "is my son, Draco, and his friends: Blaise, Damion, and Theo."
Draco and Blaise grabbed guitars while Theo sat up drums and Damion set up a keyboard. When they had everything up, they started playing. (talk is Draco…talk is Blaise…talk is Theo…talk is Damion…talk is all)
You got a lot of girls who know they got it goin´ on
But nothing´s ever a comparison to you
Now can´t you see that you´re the only one I really want?
And everything I need is everything you do
And a girl walked by no matter
´Cause you´re looking so much better
Don´t ever need to get caught up in jealousy
She could be a supermodel on every magazine cover
She´ll never ever mean a thing to me
She´s no you, oh no
You give me more than I could ever want
She´s no you, oh no
I´m satisfied with the one I´ve got
´Cause you´re all the girl that I´ve ever dreamed
She´s only a picture on a magazine
She´s no you
She´s no you
They got a lot of girls that be dancin´ in the videos
But I prefer the way you do the way you move
You´re more than beautiful and I just wanna let you know
That all I ever need is what I got with you
And a girl walked by no matter
Every time you´re looking better
I think you´re perfect and there ain´t nothing I would change
She could be a supermodel on every magazine cover
She´ll never ever take my heart away
And no one is ever gonna get to me, no
The way you do me, baby can´t you see
That you´re the one, the only one
Whose ever made me feel this way
And nothing´s ever coming even close, no
No one´s ever been comparable to you
Oh Oh, Yeah
La La La La
You´re all that, all that, and then some
You know what, just what I need
And no girl, no place, no where
Could mean a thing to me
She´s no you (You got a lot of girls who know they got it goin´ on)
You give me more than I could ever want
She´s no you (Now can´t you see that you´re the only one I really want?)
I´m satisfied with the one I´ve got
´Cause you´re all the girl that I´ve ever dreamed
She´s only a picture on a magazine
She´s no you
She´s no you
I don´t need nothing but you
I can´t get more than you give me
So don´t stop anything you do
"Oh my God! That was so sweet, you guys!" Pansy sighed as the boys sat down. "Who was it for?"
"No one special, just our girlfriends. It's not like we love them or anything." Theo joked.
"Well, I know who Draco's girlfriend is, but who are yours?" Trinity asked. Theo smirked, "Nobody, Trin. It's not like you don't know our life-long crushes and stuff."
"Oh!" Grace shrieked, "Theo sang for Parvati!!!! And Blaise for Luna!"
"And Damion for Cho!" added Millicent. "Oh, umm, Retina? Aren't you, Trin and Luna up next?"
"Shit! We are!" Ginny grabbed Trinity and Luna by their arms and dragged them to the stage as Narcissa announced them. "You guys ready?"
"As ready as we'll ever be." they replied. (talk is Ginny…talk is Trinity…talk is Luna…talk is all three(talk is Luna and Trinity…talk is Ginny and Luna)
Cinderella, are you really that happy?
Cinderella, are you really that lucky?
I wanna know, is you life like you dreamed?

"Brilliant, girls!" Nia yelled from her seat near Bellatrix. "It was amazing!"
"Why don't you sing another song for us?" Bellatrix asked.
"Now, Bella," Alecto says, "I think it's time for the children to get to bed. They'll definitely want to be up early for presents tomorrow."
