It was a few hours later, when everything was unpacked and the videos finally found. So much had to be done. The girls filled Selina in on the talent show and other school events coming up, the guys told her about Qudditch and Remus and Sirius were just glad to have her back.
"Ok people before we get started with the videos, Hermione Faye and Lavender I'll join the talent show no big their, guys I love Qudditch as much as the next person, but I doubt I can join only if there is a position on the team and Siri, Remmy I'm happy to be back I've missed you guys so much. Now what you are about to see might scare you, those for who get sick easily leave now. Right this is after Remus and I broke up and I got him back with Bella. Ok everyone ready?" said Selina setting up the telly.
"Ready." everyone said in unison
Selina slipped in the tape and pressed play. The screen was fuzzy for a few minutes when they saw a face that looked sort of liked Sirius'.
"Sel how do you use this bloody thing!" yelled the figure.
"SIRIUS STOP PUT THAT DOWN YOU CRAZY IDIOT!" yelled someone they could only guess was Selina.
"Sorry, but what's it do?" asked Sirius.
"It's a tape recorder and will record everything. See look." Selina said showing him the footage already recorded.
"Oh wow, that's cool." Sirius said looking over her shoulder.
Blushing lightly, she could only nod.
" YO SEL! LET'S GET GOING GIRL WE HAVE SOME MAJOR SHOPPING TO DO!" yelled a sweet voice.
"ALRIGHT BELL I'M COMING!" Selina yells back.
"Shopping? For what?" asks Sirius
"For clothes and jewelry and stuff like that." said Selina
"Alright Sel. I'll see you later." said Sirius
"Ok, bye." Sel said waving good bye.
Sirius watched as Selina and Bella walked off with Lily.
"Well now Remus I think our friend Padfoot here has a crush on one of Evans friends." said James
"Yes James I think you have a point. Our young friend does have a little crush, on my ex-girlfriend no less." said Remus smirking down at Sirius.
"Oh sod off all of you. I don't like Sel. She and I are friends." said Sirius getting a bit defensive.
"Aw come on Siri Poo you and Sel would be cute together." said James.
"James man if you don't shut up I'll hurt you." said Sirius
"Ha you won't hurt me Sirius, you love me too much." said James
"No James I don't love you I hate you with a burning sensation." said Sirius getting up from the table.
"Ha, you don't mean that now do you ?" James
"Yea Jamie I do." said Sirius.
"Hey boys sorry to interrupt but we had to come back. Bella forgot some stuff and need breakfast." said Lily sitting down in between Remus and James.
"I swear she'd forget her head if it wasn't attached." laughed Selina sitting next to Selina.
"Hey Evans let's go McGonagall needed to talk to us, forgot to tell you this morning." said James grabbing some toast.
"Ugh, god Potter can't a girl eat her breakfast in peace!" exclaimed Lily throwing down her fork following James out of the Great Hall.
Outside of the Great Hall James was a little ahead of Lily.
"How…?" asked Lily
"How what Evans?" replied James stopping in his tracks
"How did you think of something like that." said Lily wrapping her arms around his waist from behind.
James chuckled lightly. He turned around and pulled her into the shadows. Pushing her lightly against the wall he kissed her neck.
"I'd find anyway I could be alone with you." He mumbled against her neck.
Lily moaned lightly before saying, "Hmm, what are we going to tell everyone?"
"I don't know, does really matter now?" asked James.
The screen went fuzzy again and stopped.
"Hey what happened?" asked Harry
"Well, ya see Sirius and I followed them that day that's why we had it video taped for blackmail later but then things went to far so we ran." said Selina laughing lightly.
"Oh yea I remember that know, it nearly scarred us for life." Sirius laughed.
"I'll show you guys some more later. I promise, but now can we eat." asked Selina holding her stomach as it growled.
"Aw, sorry Sel I need to go I have work to do." said Sirius
"Really? Ah Sirius that sucks. Promise to come back and visit, ok." said Selina giving him a big hug.
"Yea I have a teachers meeting. Sorry Sel." said Remus
"You're both going." Selina questioned pouting.
"Yea I need to owl Bella and go to my staff meeting." said Remus giving her a hug.
"I still don't like it but tell Bella I said hi and tell her I need to talk to her soon." said Selina
"Alright, I'll see you in classes." said Remus as he and Sirius walked out of the common room.
"I still can't believe you dated my godfather and uncle." said Harry
Selina laughed nervously, "Yea, well I knew it wouldn't last with me and Remus cause he still loved Bella. With Sirius I really liked him but he was to much of a womanizer, plus I was supposed to live forever until a few months ago." said Selina.
"Right." said Harry
"Ok uncomfortable silence." said Blaise
"Zambini shut up." said Ron.
"Make me Weasel." said Blaise
"Boys enough!" said Lavender.
"God you guys act like children, let's go girls and get some food." said Faye.
"Ok, let's go Selina." said Hermione
"Thank god! Food, I'm starving." said Selina following the girls out.
"Great it's another Ron." sighed Hermione
"Haha, what can I say I'm a growing girl who loves food." laughed Selina.
Great Hall with Girls
"So Selina, you gonna sing with us for the talent show?" asked Lavender.
"Yea, you play guitar right, we totally need one." said Faye
"Yea, since Hermione here is leaving us to sing a duet with Potter though he's still singing with his friends." said Lavender.
"I am not, I'll still play, just only sing with Harry." said Hermione
"Aw, Mione but you sing the best out of us." complained Faye.
"You guys know that's not true, plus I'll still sing with you guys too if it means that much to you and I can sing with Harry." said Hermione.
"Wow, I'll have to see how good you are." said Selina smirking at Hermione.
"Um… yea sure." Hermione said startled a little.
Selina reached down and picked up her guitar case.
"Come on all you let's see what you've all got shall we?" Selina said getting up smirking at them all.
She got up and walked out of the room carrying the guitar case. Winding up the stairs to an opened doorway and walked in, their was a piano, drums, guitars, and other instruments. Selina walked over to the guitar and placed it in her lap. She looked up at the other girls.
"Ok Hermione you sing or me?" asked Selina playing a few strings on the guitar.
"Sure I'll go, but um.. Can I use the piano?" asked Hermione.
"Use anything you want." said Selina nodding towards the piano.
Hermione walks over towards the piano, and slowly plays a few keys, humming lightly, then her voice comes, soft and low. Almost as if it was the wind.
"I waited 'til I saw the sun
I don't know why I didn't come
I left you by the house of fun
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come,"
She closes her eyes playing lightly against the keys, singing just as soft,
"When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand
But you'll be on my mind
Forever
Out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstasy
But I'll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road alone
My heart is drenched in wine
But you'll be on my mind
Forever
Something has to make you run
I don't know why I didn't come
I feel as empty as a drum
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come"
As she finished her song, she noticed the boys standing their as well. She blushed slightly as Harry just stared at her.
"Hermione… it was… you were…..wow." said Harry walking over to her.
"Thanks Harry." said Hermione blushing darkly.
Selina smiles at them all and looked around.
"Mind if I go next?" asks Selina setting up her guitar.
"Sure, we'd love to hear you play." said Blaise smiling at her.
Selina just smiled and slowly strummed a few cords warming up. Humming softly in almost a non existent voice. She went on to sing low and soft.
"Doctors have come
from distant cities
just to see me
stand over my bed
disbelieving what they're seeing
they say I must be one of the wonders
of god's own creation
and as far as the can see they can offer
no explanation
newspapers ask
intimate questions
what confessions
they reach into my head
to steal the glory
of my story"
She started singing louder playing harder on the guitar.
"they say I must be one of the wonders
of god's own creation
and as far as the can see they can offer
no explanation
I believe
fate smiled and destiny
laughed as she came to my cradle
"know this child will be able"
laughed as my body she lifted
"know this child will be gifted
with love, with patience
and with faith
she'll make her way"
people see me
I'm a challenge
to your balance
I'm over your heads
how I confound you
and astound you
to know I must be one of the wonders
of god's own creation
and as far as you can see you can offer me
no explanation
I believe
fate smiled and destiny
laughed as she came to my cradle
"know this child will be able"
laughed as she came to my mother
"know this child will not suffer"
laughed as my body she lifted
"know this child will be gifted
with love, with patience
and with faith
she'll make her way"
Silently strumming the cords and humming at the end Selina finished.
"Wow Selina that was amazing." said Blaise in amazement.
"Thanks a lot Blaise. So how about it Hermione?" Asked Selina.
"Awesome you're in." Hermione said smiling happily.
Selina smiled but tensed up hearing the door opening, seeing a tall man with bleached blond hair eyes a crystal blue dressed in all black.
"Spike…"
