'Italic'-thoughts

And to minimize confusion 'The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun' is kind of the title of the chapter and Dúlaman is a song Alexis sings in the chapter. K?

The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun-Celtic Woman

Chapter 1

It had been a week since the Quidditch match, and now in another week school would be starting up.

Today James was stuck with his aunt Hermione. During James's last visit to his Uncle's shop he took and experimental candy and James turned red for two weeks. So as punishment his mother said he had to be with an adult at all times, and adult who wasn't his uncle! Today his mother actually had to go to said shop to help charm some candies with hex's and he absolutely was not allowed to tag along. His father was busy working at the Ministry again.

So today he was shadowing aunt Hermione, who was going to brief a new employee. The women Hermione was going to brief had an excellent resume and good recommendations, but she always thought it best to find out in person if the employee to be was fit for the job. Since Hermione was over-seeing doctor at it was her job to 'find out in person'. Now Hermione wasn't just a doctor of medicine, she got doctorates in many other subjects, but over the years she got quite handing at fixing whatever Harry or Ron had broken at work that day so she simply went in the medical field to do what she does best.

"Hold on tight James," Hermione said extending her arm for him. "Yeah, yeah. It's not my first Apparition Aunt Hermione…" James grumbled but grabbed tight anyway. Then the pull of apparition took them to a large marble front porch, with large sliver embroidered doors in front of them.

James jaw slightly dropped, sure him family was rich but they lives a modest life. The Potter's lived on a nice chunk of land; they still owned the Black house but they didn't live there permanently, and they surely didn't live in anything like this either. James could easily fit five or six of his houses in the one before him.

Hermione knocked on the door and was let in by a house elf, "My Mistress will be down shortly. She asks for you to wait in the family room, right this way." Hermione nodded to the little elf, "Come on James." James followed silently.

The house seemed surprisingly spacious, many windows letting light in, and plenty of couches, love seats and chairs scattered throughout the rooms they pasted. The family room was simple, the marble floor from the hall turned to a deep red carpet. On the main wall was a large black marble fireplace, 'What's with these people and marble?' James thought as he continued to observe the room. The room had a couch situated across from a loveseat, and a matching chain close to the fireplace.

Here James and Hermione waited for the owner to arrive.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, my son just received a throe scolding," a woman said as she walked briskly into the room from a staircase off to the side of the fireplace that James had not noticed.

She had golden blonde hair that was up in an elegant knot and calming blue eyes. She had on a simple green dress that hung gently at her feet and had a single white stripe under her chest.

"You must be Casandra. I'm Hermione Weasley we spoke through the fire. This is my nephew James; he asked to tag along today. I hope it's not a problem." Hermione said giving James a pointed look. "No, not at all. You can make yourself James. If you need anything let me of my house elf, Suzanne, know. Okay?" Casandra smiled at James. "Yes, thank you" He replied politely.

"Okay, well should we go talk then?" Casandra turned back to Hermione. "Yes, please. Lead the way." With that Hermione followed Casandra out of the room, leaving poor James to keep himself busy.

Open your eyes with me
See paradise with me
Awake and arise with me

James plopped down on the couch and listened as his aunt's footsteps grew fainter and fainter until silence. 'This is cruel and unfair punishment. What am I supposed to do now in this oversize house, if you can even call it that…' He let out a sigh closing his eyes and relaxing against the couch. Then h heard a voice echoing down the hall along with soft music. He sat up slowing listening to the voice, 'Why didn't I hear it earlier?' The voice was beautiful and alluring, James felt pulled by this voice; like he never wanted it to stop. All he could hear was this voice; it was powerful and delicate all in the same. James began to commit the different pitches and tones to memory as he stood and made his way towards the voice.

I am the dawn, I'm the new day begun
I bring you the morning, I bring you the sun

He got closer and closer to the voice; he finally found the hall it was echoing down, and he saw a door cracked open only an inch wide. 'Amazing that voice could resonate so far just through a small cracked door.' James thought as he walked up to the door a peeked through the crack. It was a girl with platinum blonde hair; that reminded his of the sun's rays, and reached all the way down to her lower back. She had on a cute dark blue shirt with some writing on it and a black jean skirt that cut off just before her knees. Then James looked up into the room length mirror she was singing in front of, and he saw her face. His eyes grew wide; it was the girl from the Quidditch match!

She looked so beautiful singing and very in control. When she reached a calm part of the song her face relaxed and he caught a glimpse of her ocean blue eyes. James pushed the door open a bit more as he once again became taken by her voice and transfixed on her.

I hold back the night and I open the skies
I give light to the world, I give sight to your eyes

Alexis As I held a long note my vocal coach came over and tapped my chin and stomach, I quickly straightened my stance. Merlin I couldn't stand her but she was one of the best vocal coaches in the UK, and dad was paying for my lessons so I put up with her. I changed my pose slightly as I began my next song; it was one of my favorites, Dúlaman.

Dúlaman-Celtic Woman (I suggest like youtubeing it or something because god knows I can't even read Gaelic. And it's a good song I promise ^_^)

A 'níon mhín ó, sin anall na fir shúirí
A mháithairin mhín ó, cuir na roithléan go dtí mé

Dúlamán na binne buí, dúlamán Gaelach
Dúlamán na farraige, b'fhearr a bhí in Éirinn

Tá ceann buí óir ar an dúlamán gaelach
Tá dhá chluais mhaol ar an dúlamán maorach

Bróga breaca dubha ar an dúlamán gaelach
Tá bearéad agus triús ar an dúlamán maorach

As I continued to sing I heard me teacher speak up with her undeniable French accent, "Are you in or out?" I looked over to her with a questioning look; I had no idea what she meant. She wasn't looking at me, she was looking somewhere behind me. I kept focused singing and looked into the mirror. I saw a boy about my age looking through the open door. I studied him for a few seconds before focusing on my song again, it was about to end and I wanted to nail it. I saw my teacher wave her wand so I would have a boy voice to complement my voice at one point in the song.

Góide a thug na tíre thú? arsa an dúlamán gaelach
Ag súirí le do níon, arsa an dúlamán maorach

Rachaimid chun Niúir leis an dúlamán gaelach
Ceannóimid bróga daora ar an dúlamán maorach

Ó chuir mé scéala chuici, go gceannóinn cíor dí
'Sé'n scéal a chuir sí chugam, go raibh a ceann cíortha

Cha bhfaigheann tú mo 'níon, arsa an dúlamán gaelach
Bheul, fuadóidh mé liom í, arsa an dúlamán maorach

Dúlamán na binne buí, dúlamán Gaelach

Dúlamán na binne buí, dúlamán Gaelach
Dúlamán na farraige, b'fhearr a bhí, b'fhearr a bhí
Dúlamán na binne buí, dúlamán Gaelach
Dúlamán na farraige, b'fhearr a bhí, b'fhearr a bhí
B'fhearr a bhí in Éirinn

James She just sang the most beautiful and spirited song, and it was in a different language! I must have been a kind of Scottish or Gaelic. 'Whatever it was she was very sexy singing it. Whoa, James backup. It was very good, and she looks very good. Hell who cares.' The older woman asked if I was in or out, my eyes darted quickly between the girl and the older woman. I pushed the door open so I could fit through and took a seat in one of the many chairs along the wall. I continued to watch the girl she was enchanting and I knew that I knew her name but I couldn't concentrate long enough to remember so I stopped bothering.

Alexis He continued to sit there and watch me sing for a half hour it seemed. It was kind of annoying and creepy, but the look in his eyes was just like the look a little child gets when he's learning something for the first time; curious, watchful, and excited to see what happens next. There was an honest shine in his eyes as he studied me and he seemed completely captivated. I worried slightly if I was putting too much effort in my singing, but the teacher seemed unfazed so it's just him I guess.

Something about him was familiar, his raven black hair, his holly green eyes, and his intense presence. I couldn't quite place where I had seen him before.

As I continued to sing I heard voices coming down the hall and I used my gift to make my voice louder and bolder.

I am the dawn, I'm the new day begun
I bring you the morning, I bring you the sun
I hold back the night and I open the skies
I give light to the world, I give sight to your eyes

I am the sky and the dawn and the sun
I am the sky and the new day begun
I am the sky and the dawn and the sun
