Another chapter! Well happy and since I have some free time before I have to go back to school ha-ha
Review reply to my favourite person at the moment...
SparrowLillies! - Thank you so much for some of the song suggestions! I only had four good songs reflecting Scylla's mood but I picked All I Want For Christmas Is You because I love that song ha-ha. Also, I chose to do all five songs in separate chapters then a sixth chapter to be a big finale of Fred and Scylla.
Anyway, Onwards with the First of the ball!
11. The Yule Ball Part 1
Three hours before the Yule Ball starts
"That was good Scy!" Ginny called as I finished singing. I smiled and walked off the stage and walked up to her.
We looked around the now decorated hall and I said, "The decorations look amazing Ginny. You're so good at planning and organizing. Remind me to come to you if I plan a party or something."
She laughed and hugged me, both of us walking out with her arm on my waist and mine around her shoulders. "Thanks Scy. How you feeling by the way?" Referencing to the whole Fred deal.
I swallowed and replied, "Awkward and numb, like...I'm scared to go near him as he might laugh or joke about it." We waited on the second floor as the stairs moved to us.
We started walking up the stairs when Ginny spoke, "I know how you're feeling, but, I know my idiotic brother and I can say he wouldn't do something like that." I sighed and we reached the Gryffindor room, said the password and entered the common room. We walked past all of the students who were upset as they were too young to go to the ball. We walked up the stairs and reached our room, but being stopped by Ginny, "Tonight is the night where you shine. Sing your heart out look as though Fred isn't in your mind. Then dance the night away with George and your friends. Make Fred green with envy and just smile and wave." I smiled and nodded, both entering the room to get ready.
The Yule Ball
I finished the final touches of my dress and looked in the mirror. Ginny and Hermione had already left as their dates waited in the common room. I walked out of the Gryffindor room and walked down the stairs until I saw George with Fred. George glanced at me and smiled, turning round to greet me. Fred was with him and he too turned round and stared at me, stunned. I smiled and walked up to George, "Beautiful. You look stunning Scy." He said softly. I blushed a bit and accepted George's arm, walking away from Fred, who was still gobsmacked. We walked into the hall and some people stared at us, but we didn't care.
Ginny came bounding up to us and said to me, "You're singing your songs first and then the surprise band that I was able to get." I nodded and walked to the stage which the curtain was still closed. George quickly hugged me, wished me luck and walked off.
I breathed slowly and wiped the imaginary creases of my dress and stood up straight when I heard Professor Flitwick announce, "Ladies and Gentleman, please cheer and clap for our Hogwarts's singer...Scylla Avalon!" The curtains opened, everyone cheered and clapped. I smiled and waved then began to sing.
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare
Everyone started to dance and cheer a bit more, my friends clapping and cheering the hardest before dancing at the front near me. I glanced at Fred who was with Angelina who huffed and walked to his friend Lee Gordon, the couple stating to dance.
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
The beat picked up and everyone danced faster and cheered even more. I took the mic of the stand and walked down the stairs, being guided by George and let my hand go to clap and watch me as I walked through the centre of the crowd.
Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
I stopped as I nearly bumped into someone, looking up to see it was Fred. I stared at him as he returned the stare. I trailed off the end of the song, lost in his eyes and only thing I could hear was people clapping and cheering.
The first song I used was Fireflies by Owl City.
