Gillie watched kairu give Smith a light kiss as he walked to his next class, making heads turn. Still, her little school girl crush had dimmed her light; but she had moved on. "Guess who?" Annushka asked from behind, her pale hands cloaking Gillie's face. Gille played allong. "Hmm...is it...Annushka?" Gillie turned, but her friend had skipped away. Students stared at the couple. "...of corse, we all know she doesn't really like guys..." Katherin whispered to her friends. They gigled as Gillie turned around, muttering a few cuss words as she ran away. She finally stopped in the dungeon, slidding to the floor. "All the things she said, All the things she said, Running through my head! Running through my head! Running through my head!" All the things she said, All the things she said, Running through my head! Running through my head!" She sang. "This is not, enough!" She looked to the flame on the wall. "I'm in serious ****, I feel totally lost, If I'm asking for help it's only because-" Gillie pulled a photo that decorated her books. "Being with you has opened my eyes. Could I ever believe such a perfect surprise?" "I keep asking myself, wondering how I keep closing my eyes but I can't block you out," Wanna fly to a place where it's just you and me!" "Nobody else so we can be free!" Gillie covered her face, tears streaming down it. "Nobody else so we can be free!"
"All the things she said All the things she said Running through my head Running through my head Running through my head!" Gillie sang to herself.
Annushka slid down to the bedroom floor as she sang, several corridors away. "All the things she said All the things she said Running through my head! Running through my head! All the things she said, All the things she said!"
She closed her eyes. "This is not enough!" Annushka stood,leaning her back against the wall. "Ya Soshla S Uma - Ma!" She sang in her native language. "This is not enough!" All the things she said, All the things she said!"
Gillie paced down the coridors, stopping at a corner. "And I'm all mixed up, feeling cornered and rushed They say it's my fault but I want her so much!" She punched the wall. "Wanna fly her away where the sun and rain Come in over my face, wash away all the shame, When they stop and stare - don't worry me 'Cause I'm feeling for her what she's feeling for me!" She shook her head. "I can try to pretend, I can try to forget But it's driving me mad, going out of my"-Gillie hugged herself. -"head!"
She walked down the dungeon. "All the things she said, All the things she said, Running through my head, Running through my head, Running through my head, All the things she said, All the things she said, Running through my head, Running through my head, All the things she said, All the things she said, This is not enough, This is not enough, All the things she said, All the things she said, All the things she said, All the things she said, All the things she said, All the things she said, All the things she said, All the things she said, she said, All the things she said, All the things she said!"
Annushka lay on the floor, looking at her reflection in he mirror that lay against the wall. "Mother looking at me Tell me what do you see? Yes, I've lost my mind!"She sang solomly.
Gillie looked to the Slytherin common room's ceiling. "Daddy looking at me Will I ever be free? Have I crossed the line?"
Annushka lay down onto her bed, gazing at the ceiling. "All the things she said All the things she said Running through my head Running through my head Running through my head All the things she said All the things she said Running through my head Running through my head All the things she said All the things she said This is not enough This is not enough!"
Annushka sang to herself as she lay on the floor. "All the things she said, All the things she said," She touched Gillies picture that lay beside her. "All the things she said All the things she said!" All the things she said All the things she said..."
Aimee Fisher was leaning against the counter in her apartment, thinking of her husband, with a worried expression. Her dark-blue and black striped shirt, with much too long sleeves, cerulean knee-length skirt, and black marry-janes seemed out of place in the dingy light. She bit her thumb as Eddy walked though the door. "Hey, Aimee." They hugged briefly before he noticed her anxious star-bright gaze. "What's wrong?" He asked, setting down his guitar case against the wall. Aimee thought about it. "I'm..." her voice was shy. "I'm not sure if this, the recording deal, is good for you..." She shifted her eyes to avoid his. "Aimee-" She curt him off. "Eddy, you've barely slept. All you talk about is music, music, music..." She rolled her eyes. Eddy clearly was offended. "Aimee, It's just that this is my big break..." The mood was getting argumentative in the tiny room, and Aimee could feel it. She raised on eyebrow, pivoting away from him twords the window. (music starts)
"I'm sitting in a room, Made up of only big white walls and in the hall, There are people looking through!"
"The window in the door they know exactly what we're here for," She whipped around to dance around the flat. "Don't look up Just let them think, There's no place else You'd rather be!"
She came up to him, holding his wrists. "You're always on display For everyone to watch and learn from, Don't you know by now, You can't turn back... Because this road is all you'll ever have!"
Eddy tried to explain. "Ai-" She turned away, belting; "And it's obvious that you're dying, dying! Just living proof that the camera's lying!" She paced to the window again. "And oh oh open wide, 'cause this is your night! So smile, 'cause you'll go out in style!" She put her hands on her hips. "You'll go out in style." Aimee winked over her shoulder sarcastically.
"If you let me I could, I'd show you how to build your fences!" She flopped down on the couch, resting her head where Eddy's hand clenched the back. "Set restrictions, separate from the world, The constant battle that you hate to fight, Just blame the limelight!" She rolled her eyes, getting up. "Don't look up, Just let them think, There's no place else You'd rather be!" "And now you can't turn back.. Because this road is all you'll ever have!" She took off her wedding ring. "And it's obvious that you're dying, dying! Just living proof that the camera's lying! And oh oh open wide, 'cause this is your night! So smile......!"
Eddy looked at her in despair. "Yeah, yeah you're asking for it With every breath that you breathe in Just breathe it in..." Aimee sang to him. "Yeah, yeah well you're just a mess, "You do all this, big talking So now let's see you walk it I said let's see you walk it!"
Aimee shook her head. "Yeah, yeah well you're just a mess You do all this, big talking-" She placed her ring in the palm of his hand, looking at him challengingly. "So now let's see you walk it I said let's see you walk it!"
She threw up her arms, leaving the apartment. Eddy followed her out. "Aimee!" She didn't pay any attention. "And it's obvious that you're dying, dying! Just living proof that the camera's lying! And oh oh open wide, yeah oh oh open wide, Yeah, oh oh open wide," "'Cause you'll go out in style!" They where outside. Aimee was running away now, turning back to say- "You'll go out in style!"
Eddy stood there, watching his wife take off.

I would post this in 2G, but I mean, nobody goes there anymore.
Sam was walking to potions when he saw a heap of black-and-white by a tree. He stopped, gazing though the freshly fallen snow, recognizing Kairu Viridis. Then he saw what was going on- black ran down her face, which was half covered with her robe. She was in a crying heap, leaning against that tree with a cigg in her mouth. He dropped his books at once, running out to meet her. (Music starts) She didn't look up as he approached. Sam looked down at this misserable sight. "Kairu..." She sobbed. "Kairu..." Sam called again. "Kairu, what happened?" "Smith." Kairu broke down, blubbering into her robe. Sam leaned down to hug her. "It's okay, it's okay..."
"When you try your best, but you don't succeed..." he sang. "When you get what you want, but not what you need When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep Stuck in reverse..." Kairu looked up at him. "And the tears come streaming down your face..." He wiped away a black tear. "When you lose something you can't replace... When you love someone but it goes to waste..." He was singing about himself now, how he had always loved Kairu... "Could it be worse?" "Lights will guide you home, And ignite your bones, And I will try-" He gazed into her eyes. "to fix you." Suddenly, he lifted her up. "High up above or down below..." He gestured directionally. "When you're too in love to let it go-" She looked at the ground, but he just lifted her chin. "But if you never try you'll never know, Just what you're worth..." Kairu's emerald eyes had a flicker of hope as she looked at him.
Sam hugged her close, singing; "Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones..." they broke apart, gazing at eachother now. And I will try to fix you." They kissed in the snow, tears flowing down Kairu's face.
As she sobbed into his shoulder, Sam sang; "Tears stream down your face, When you lose something you cannot replace.. Tears stream down your face.. And I..."
"Tears stream down your face, When you lose something you cannot replace.. Tears stream down your face.. And I..."
Kairu looked up from his now tear-soaked shoulder. Sam looked at her with love. "Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you..."
They kissed again, and Kairu knew she would be okay.
...Smith Rigby came out from behing a nearby archway, melencholy as he headed to his classes. Maybe...she's better off without me?
Alice Newman walked down the halls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the wind and rain beating against the windows. She turned a corner swiftly, only to back right back out again just as swiftly, the only difference being her cranberry-red face. She peered back around the corner, her blue eyes resting on the boy with the dark brown hair, who was speaking animatedly with another classmate. He was making his way down the hall, and it was only a matter of time before he reached Alice's hiding spot. She dashed out of the hall, and out into the soaking wet outdoors, the rain immediately soaking through her shirt, her hair laying limp and flat on her head, and beat growing steadily louder in the background.
"On the horizon," she whispered, looking towards the lake. "The landscape's burning red..." "Bushfire---smoke in your eyes..." Alice began to walk towards the trees, shielding her eyes from what wasn't there. "Smoke in your eyes. If you feel something, that makes you warm all over," wrapping her arms around herself, she spun on the spot, looking up at the windows, looking for Orion. "If you got a fire and you can't put it out---got a bushfire."
"Rolling through a field of molten flowers, Burning in a field of molten flowers!" Alice ran back inside, the moisture from her clothes creating a puddle on the ground. "There's a bushfire---there's a bushfire burning---yeah."
"Bushfire! Bushfire! Bushfire!"
"My mind's been going places without me lately..." Alice leaned against the banister, her lips pouting. "I need your arms to take me down, take me to the ground. But I hold back! Get away from the heat..." she pushed away an imaginary figure with one hand, turning her face towards the opposite end of the hall. "Hold back! In my field of vision! Hold back! Baby burning---fire...."
"Fire in a field of molten flowers, Fire in a field of molten flowers- There's a bushfire burning---yeah. You better hold back! Hold back!" Alice skidded on the tile floor, bumping in to a few other students on their way to class.
"Bushfire! Bushfire! Bushfire!"
She stopped in the entrance hall, spinning in a circle. "Well I'm movin' to the beat of a big bushfire... I'm dancin' to the beat of a big bushfire." raising both arms above her head, she spiraled as low as she could go to the floor, ending up perched on the tips of her feet, arms over her knees.
"And the flames are warm, and getting brighter--" Alice popped back up, hands spread over her eyes.
"Well, everybody loves to dance around the heat and fire!" bobbing her shoulders up and down, stretching her arms outwards from her sides. "Oh lightnin' strike twice!" she skipped into the deserted Great Hall, standing on a table. "Hey everybody bask in the afterglow---Bushfire! Naked light shining over my bed, been lying here too long. I need your arms to take me down, take me to the ground..."
"But I hold back---get away from the heat! Hold back! In my field of vision!" she held both hands up to her face, on either side of her eyes, staring straight ahead. "Hold back! I see smoke---smoke in your eyes..."
"Bushfire! Bushfire! Bushfire!" Alice chanted, striding out of the Great Hall, making her way to her dormitory. "The landscape's burning, red hot...."
Cassi walked to the window to retrieve the letter from the owl that had just landed on the sill. She opened the letter. " The Ministry. Huh." (music starts) She read through the letter and then sank to the ground with her head in her hands. (Cassi doesn't sing but the voice starts as she puts the letter down, she starts to cry).
"Well, I heard there was a secret chord, the day that played and pleased the Lord, but you don't really care for music do ya. Well, it goes like this, the fourths the fifths, the minor fall and the major lift, the baffled king composing halleljah. Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelu-ujah. Well, your faith was strong but you needed proof, you saw her bathing on the roof, her beauty and the moon light overthrew ya. she tied you to her kitchen chair, she broke you throan and cut your hair, and from you lips she drew the hallelujah. Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelu-ujah. Well baby i've been here before, I've seen this room and I've walked this floor, y'know I used to live alone before I knew ya. And I've seen your flag on the marble arche, and love is not a victory march its a cold and its a broken hallelujah. Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujay hallelu-ujah. Well there was a time when you let me know, whats really going on below, but now younever show that to me do ya. Well remember when I moved in you, and the holly dove was movin' to, and every breath we drew was hallelujah! Hallelu-ujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelu-ujah. Maybe there's a God above, but all I've ever learned from love was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya. And it's not a cry that you hear at night, it's not somebody who's seen the light, its a cold and its a broken hallelujah. Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelu-ujah. Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelu-ujah. HALLELUJAH! Hallelujah! hallelujah. hallelu-u-ujah. hallelu-u-u-ujah."
(Cassi stands, sniffles and goes for the phone) "Hey Modesty. *sniffle* I just got a letter from the Ministry. Tom's dead." She lets out a sob.

((Daisys daughter, and her old friend Larry who has been in love with her for years.))
Magenta finished her milkshake. "So Larry I have to jet, but you know I will totally pick out clothes with you-" She put a finger on her cheek "Umm Saturday, right?" Larry nodded vigorously. Magenta scooped up her purse and tossed her empty cup in the trash barrel. "See ya Lars!" As the bell dinged her skirt breezed out of the door. Larry pushed up his glasses and sighed "Lost in stereo, lost in stereo Lost in stereo, lost in stereo" He thought about her doing her dancing which mostly she hopped around waving her orange hair. The beat opens and Larry cups his face in his hands.
S"he works for the weekend Mix tape of her favorite bands Tearin' up the radio Lost in the stereo sound" He stood up and leaned against a table. He glanced out the window as she opened the door to her car and her face light up as she turned the music on. There she went with her head banging. He chuckled and listened to the guitar riff play.
"She's trouble in a tank top Pretty little time bomb Blowing up I'll take you down" He frowned as a tall guy sat down in the passenger seat and Magenta kissed him "Living in the radio Lost in the stereo sound" His arms flew up in exasperation
"She's dancing alone I'm ready to go But she's so" Larry spun in a circle and looked up (Lost in stereo, lost in stereo) "She's out of control So beautiful" He checked back at the window and sighed (Lost in stereo, lost in stereo) "And I've been Waiting for so long But she'll never know I'm losing hope 'Cause she's so" Larry kicked at wrapper on the floor (Lost in stereo, lost in stereo) Lost in stereo, lost in stereo
"Shake down on a Saturday Sit back" He sat in a ice cream shaped chair "Gotta catch my breath" He put his hand to his lung. "Cause every time I see her I know she's gonna take it back somehow" He threw some money down as a tip and jingled out of the shop.
"Tattoos and a switchblade attitude Snakebite heart with a bubblegum smile" He walked out to the car as the video freezes, he pauses as he gets to Magenta. He looked at her shoulder knowing of her secret tattoo hidden under her yellow shirt. He spun to the back of the car and sang. "Sex in stereo Don't turn the radio down"
"She's dancing alone I'm ready to go But she's so" The scene changes to her dancing alone in the corner, Larry tries to walk forward but runs into something. (Lost in stereo, lost in stereo) "She's out of control So beautiful" He looks to see a wall of attractive men blocking him from her. He peers from in between the shoulders and sees her, and smiles. (Lost in stereo, lost in stereo) "And I've been Waiting for so long" Flashback them on the Hogwarts Express as 11. "But she'll never know I'm losing hope 'Cause she's so" He grabs the air and shakes his head trying to shake his feelings. (Lost in stereo, lost in stereo)
"And I'm just like cellophane 'Cause she sees right through me" A fantasy of Magenta patting him on the head and jumping in the arms of another man. "I know she's glitter and gold and that's just the price I pay" (back to real time) He looks down and realize he has only a few more chances to impress her. He runs back to the parking lot,singing. "When I don't even know her name shes slipping away" The car pulls out of the spot leaving as Larry runs to the parking spot.
"She works for the weekend Mix tape of her favorite bands Tearin' up the radio Lost in the stereo sound" He sits back outside the shop and continues to sing.
"She's dancing alone I'm ready to go He desperately tries to get past the men blocking him from her. But she's so" (Lost in stereo, lost in stereo) "She's out of control So beautiful" Larry waved weakly at her car driving off with no thoughts of him. (Lost in stereo, lost in stereo) "And I've been Waiting for so long" Started silent screaming trying to get past them. As the music plays over the scene. "But she'll never know I'm losing hope 'Cause she's so" He continues to wave as she is far gone. (Lost in stereo, lost in stereo) [x2]

Dorothy Rigby walked through the halls, blushing. Boys seemed to follow in her wake, swooning over her. She ducked into her class, leaving the boys begging for more. A particularly tall one with dark, golden skin gazed after her. "What a tease, eh, Danny?" He said, shoving one of his friends. Danny was knocked out if his daydream quite suddenly. He turned to the boys, gathering them in a group. "Let me tell you about this girl I know-" He spun arround and clutched his chest. "Molly makeout whoa oh oh!" He sang. "Look up and down- Its rising action Molly makeout satisfaction!" The first boy sang. "Easy to please, get on your knees Your wasting time!" They sang together.
"Molly Molly makeout!" The boys sang, dancing cown the halls. Any time, any guy, Just watch your back- You wont know what to do-"
"Molly might makeout with you!" Danny sang.
A short ginger kid boy stepped infront of the boys, making a face. "She was lost but now she's found I'll tell you what she's thinking now She thinks she's got all the power Now for ninety five 2 hours!"
Danny sang loudly, trying to outshine the rest as he caught Dorothy's gaze through the classroom's windows. "She's easy to please She'll get on her knees You're wasting time your begging for this But your not, oh your not, much further tonight This is why they call her-"
The boys sang at the window, trying to serenade her. "Molly Molly makeout Molly Molly makeout Any time, any guy Just watch your back You wont know what to do Molly might makeout with you"
A boy who was sitting next to her started singing, gazing up at her from his desk. he pain no attention. "Molly make out you like too much Said your lips no boy could touch If making out just what you do Then Molly Makeout's the girl for you..."
The boys in the halls where approched by teachers, getting shooed off to class. they sang regardless. "Molly Molly makeout Molly Molly makeout Any time, any guy Just watch your back You wont know what to do Molly might makeout with you!" "Molly Molly makeout Molly Molly makeout Any time, any guy Just watch your back You wont know what to do Molly my makeout with you Molly my makeout with you"
By the time Danny was finally in his seat, class was almost over. "Oh oh whoa oh whoa oh Oh oh whoa oh whoa oh Oh oh whoa oh whoa oh Oh oh oh oh..." he sang, tearing out a piece of parchment.
AnnaMaria walked up to Alex and gave him a kiss. "I love you so much," he said. "Me too. I feel like my hearts gonna blow up." she said with a smile. "This is insane," she whispered.
"Groove. Slam. Work it back. Filter that. Baby bump that track. Groove. Slam. Work it back. Filter that. Baby bump that track. Groove. Slam. Work it back. Space Cowboy just play that track. Gaga in the room. So Starstruck Cherry Cherry Cherry Cherry Boom Boom."
AnnaMaria looked up, and pulled away.
"Rollin' up to the club on the weekend Stylin' out to the beat that you're freakin Fantasize I'm the track that you're tweakin Blow my heart up"
AnnaMaria pulled his hands to her waist.
"Put your hands on my waist pull the fader Run it back with original flavor Cue me up I'm the 12 on your table I'm so Starstruck..."
AnnaMaria turned around and fell into Alex's arms.
"I'm so Starstruck Baby cause you blow my heart up"
Alex looked at her and sang
"I'm so Starstruck Baby cause you blow my heart up"
"I'm so Starstruck Baby cause you blow my heart up I'm so Starstruck Baby cause you blow my heart up"
AnnaMaria moved close and wrapped her arms around his neck
"Baby now that were alone gotta request"

Esther walked through the dark corridors of Hogwarts, evening slowly falling on the grounds. Her heels clicked on the granite floors, white hair pinned up in a loose bun, tendrils trailing down her neck to her collar bone, blending with her milk-white skin that seemed to glow in the shadows created by the hall.
She peered out of the first window to her right, spying a group of boys her age playing with a Fanged Frisbee on the emerald green grass. Frey's chocolate brown hair stood out in the knot of blond heads surrounding him, trying to retrieve the Frisbee. Esther smiled, tracing a break in the glass, as a tune began in the background.
"When I was younger, I saw-" She placed her fingertip on the glass, seeming to cover his head. "-my daddy cry. And cursed at the wind." Esther pulled her hand away from the chilled glass, spinning in the middle of the deserted hallway, her knee-length black skirt twirling with her Hogwarts A History clasped in one hand. "He broke his own heart, And I watched... As he tried to reassemble it."
"And my momma swore that-" She shuffled backwards as she reached the door at the end of the hall, book in two hands behind her back, craning her neck to get another look at Frey. "-She would never let herself forget. And that was the day I promised I'd never sing of love..." Placing two hands on the old glass, Esther put her forehead to the cool glass, closing her pink eyes.
"If it does not exist."
"But darlin', You...are the only exception. You... are the only exception." Esther spun once, leaning her back on the stone separating two windows, memories of the first time she met Frey coming to mind. "You... are the only exception." She remembered having accidentally turned his hair yellow in transfiguration class. "You... are the only exception."
"Maybe I know, somewhere Deep in my soul, That love never lasts." Esther opened the heavy oak door, pushing it slightly with one shoulder, little puffs of dust coming around her feet, Frey and his friends still clearly visible from the windows. "And we've got to find other ways To make it alone." A few fifth year girls skipped up to the boys, flirting their long and colorful hair. Esther frowned slightly, pressing her fingers to the glass.
"Or keep a straight face." She whipped her head around quickly, turning briskly left.
"And I've always lived like this. Keeping a comfortable... distance..." Her heels stopped clicking as she came to the entrance hall, sliding down the wall, sitting on the floor. "And up until now, I had sworn to myself that I'm content With loneliness." She pushed the door next to her open just a bit, light falling onto the dark floor, the girls and boys barely visible through the sliver between the one door and the other.
"Because none of it was ever worth the risk, but..."
"You...are the only exception. You... are the only exception. You... are the only exception. You... are the only exception."
"I've got a tight grip on reality!" Esther raised her voice, finally pushing the door fully open, and getting to her feet, leaving her book behind on the ground. "But I can't... Let go of what's in front of me here!" She ran into the grass, spinning on the spot, arms in the air, her pink eyes squinting against the glare of the barely visible sun. "I know your leaving, In the morning, when you wake up.... Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream." Her voice finally died down, and pressed her back to a tree by the lake, clinching her pale hands into fists.
"Oh..."
"You... are the only exception. You... are the only exception. You... are the only exception." She kicked her black boots at the grass, turning up dirt and roots, the voices of Frey and his friends audible from yards away. "You... are the only exception. You... are the only exception. You... are the only exception." Esther looked across the lake, the sun still setting, it's orange and red reflection sparkling in the water, disturbed only by the movements of the creatures underneath its surface.
