'Italic'-thoughts

The Voice-Celtic Woman (I really suggest looking up this song it's absolutely wonderful in every way. I love the meaning behind the words.)

Chapter 2

"So," Hermione stared "now that the business part is over, how is it you came to know Draco?" Hermione and Casandra had finished the briefing and Casandra proved to be ready for just about anything. Now they were making their way to the family room where they left James. Casandra chuckled, "Oh, I met Draco on a cruise ship to Greenland. We were both going to see the festival of the Elves; well Draco was being dragged along by his mother of course. But there was something between us and we continued to see eachother."

They reached the family room only to find it vacant, but they did hear a voice echoing down the hallway. "Now where did he go? He's just like his father I swear, never sits still." Hermione said with a sigh. Casandra just smirked, "I think I know where he's gotten off to, follow me." She said to Hermione and started off down a hallway towards the voice.

I hear your voice on the wind
And I hear you call out my name

Hermione followed Casandra down the hall and towards the voice that Hermione could only describe as pure. Casandra pushed open a door and walked in. It was a large white room with mirrors stretched all across the front wall. There was a girl at the front of the room, 'Alexis, hmm...I never would have guessed' Hermione thought to herself.

I am the voice that always is calling you
I am the voice, I will remain

There was also an older woman at the front of the room with Alexis; behind the older women were a few instruments floating on their own playing the tunes Alexis was singing to. Sure enough James was parked in a seat just in front of them watching Alexis. She began a song I didn't recognize, she was singing in Italian; I did know that much. It was beautiful and she flowed with the music wonderfully. It was a short song but she made it work beautifully.

Vivaldi's Rain- Celtic Woman (again ik but right now this is the type of singer Alexis is.)

Signore guidami
E dimmi cosa fare
Ho vista l'amore della mia vita
E lui ha vista me

Sono confuse, lo confonde
Gli voglio dire che l'amo
E spero dira lo stesso

Sono passate due settimante
La vita scorre veloce
Il mio cuore batte forte
Signore guidami e dammi pace
Ti chiedo cose dire, come dirlo

Nostrami come dire che l'amo
Nostrami come dire che mi ama
Sto pregando che dira di amarmi

"Miss Sophie, I'm afraid this will be the last song. As you can see we have guests." Casandra said and the women at the front of the room nodded. "Very well," then she turned to Alexis and said, "The Voice, then you are done." Alexis smiled and as soon as the music began she began to sing with her enchanting voice. She hit an unbelievably high note almost right off the start. The instruments hummed with her and then the drums came in and commanded the song, and Alexis grew intense in her singing as they did so.

I am the voice of the past that will always be
Filled with my sorrow and blood in my fields

James stood up and watched as she sang this last song. Her voice was so calming in the beginning, and then it became commanding and intense. Her voice made her more angelic as she sang.

I am the voice of the future, bring me your peace
Bring me your peace, and my wounds, they will heal

Alexis Once I finished I turned curtsied to my coach, then ran over to my mom and engulfed her in a hug; I hadn't had a chance to see her today since I had lessons, and I wanted to get away from Miss Sophie before I sang my vocals dry.

"You are very good Alexis, I was impressed to see it was you," Hermione said to me smiling. I just laughed, "Gee thanks… Just playing, thank you. It's good to see you again ." I nodded and gave her a smile of my own. "Oh, Hermione please, I'm not ready for the title '' just yet." Hermione said with a chuckle. Then I looked over to the boy with her. His hair was unruly yet it looked soft, and the way it hung in his eyes, they made him look very sexy too. "You know, I've seen you somewhere before." I studied him some more, he had a nice build and only about half an inch on me; height wise. I had the feeling his clothes did him no justice for his sleek build, 'Only one way to figure that one out.'

"Well that would be a first," he said with a smile. His smile with his green eyes, I knew him. "James, Potter. I knew I recognized you from somewhere, I saw you at the Quidditch match not too long ago didn't I." I put on my smirk, "See, I never forget a face." And I winked at him. My mom nudged me and I sighed turning back to my teacher, "Bye Miss Sophie, thank you for your time." "Da, darling, until next time," and she disapparated and was gone.

"Merlin, I can't stand her," I slouched my shoulders and mom just laughed; Hermione and James decided to join in too. "She's your teacher you're not supposed to stand her," James said with a smile; he had a very charming smile if I do say so myself. "James…" Hermione gave him a stern look, now I laughed. "Well...umm…what about her don't you like?" James said quickly not wanting to be scolded by his aunt. She always used big words he didn't understand and then later he'd go and look the words so he could understand what she said to him.

"Gee, way to put me right back in the hot water," I raised one of my eyebrows and glared at him slightly. He just flashed his smile again, "Well she's your teacher," he said running his hand through his hair. 'I wonder if it is soft…' I thought absent-mindedly.

"Well, would you two like to stay for lunch?" Casandra asked. "We don't want to intrude," Hermione started but Casandra cut in, "No, not at all." We made our way out of the room and began walking back to the family room. "Suzanne?" My mom called for our house elf, "Yes, miss," the elf said appearing and bowing quickly. "Hermione and James will be joining us for lunch today, so please prepare two extra dishes at the table." "Yes, madam." And with that Suzanne was gone.

We all made our way back down the hall when we heard, "Mom! I'm hungry!" I shouted back, "Tell us something new!" James smirked a bit and my mom just shook her head and continued talking to Hermione.

I am the voice that always is calling you
I am the voice

When we reached the grand hall Scorpio was there waiting for us. As we approached he studied James and Hermione; a sizing-up habit he got from dad. "What's for lunch?" He asked simply, while falling in line with me. "The usual and don't be rude Scorpio, say hello to our guests." I glanced over at my younger brother as mom kindly scolded him and smirked.

He walked over in front of James and stuck his hand out, "Scorpio." "James," he replied shaking my brother's hand. Then Scorpio walked past James to Hermione, who was already raising her hand for him to shake. He took her hand gently and bowed, "Scorpio, pleasure to meet you ." Hermione smiled and blushed ever-so-slightly. "He knows how to work the Malfoy charm…" Hermione said causing Scorpio to smirk and mom to laugh. (First, Scorpio knew his mother was having a briefing with her new boss, , hence him knowing her name. Second, the 'Malfoy charm' comment; Hermione went to school with Draco so she knows he was a stud among the ladies.)

"Alexis?" a voice called from the family room and I turned with a smile growing on my face, "Carl!" Everyone else looked to the voice; James's gaze became hard and Casandra's became annoyed.

I am the voice of the future
