July 31 22:00

So it was time. James stepped on the scene and walked to his microphone holding on to his guitar for comfort. People were clapping but they were just vague blurs to him. The lights that fell on him were blinding and he could feel his heart pounding like crazy.
He fixed his guitar just as his friend David started playing the introduction on the drums. James scanned the crowd with his eyes and found his parents and his sister and then he saw Albus and Roxanne and Scorpius, who left the backstage to come and see him play. And then it hit him. He kept thinking how awful and pointless everything that had happened to him this summer was, but in the end there was a point to all of these; he realized how much those people cared for him and more importantly how much he cared for them. And if the twenty minutes he had to perform could make them forget some of the problems they had, he should be grateful to have this opportunity and stop being afraid to like music again.
The band started to play the first song and James wasn't playing along, he was just staring at the crowd beneath him, holdong his guitar tightly. His friends from the band were looking at him worried but he smiled. He couldn't be scared of something so simple...he was still after all James Sirius Potter...
Okay, then....'Without Breath', here we go....

"I've been here for hours
-without breath
In time with the
same beat our bond
becomes stronger.

You send the
Pulse racing and
We get closer.
My God, I've seen it all...

And time starts going
Backwards,
As we hold each other,
joining hands.
My heart beats like crazy,
As we both
Throw ourselves
To the stars.
But we travel at
The speed of light
So I close my eyes and
Hold you tight.
And just before heaven has a
chance to explode,
I reach the final climax.
I love you,
I love you,
I love you.

It's been hours
since I said 'forget
all reason'.
Something beyond me
is giving me orders.

I'll enter another
dimension and
change the future
Since I've seen it all...

And time starts going
Backwards,
As we hold each other
Joining hands.
My heart beats like crazy,
As we both throw ourselves
To the stars.
But we travel at the
Speed og light,
So I close my eyes
And hold you tight.
And just before
Heaven has a chance
to explode,
I reach the final climax.
I love you,
I love you,
I love you,
Yeah, yeah,
I love you..."


The song ended and James let go of his guitar and came back to reality. It was like someone put the sound on again and he could hear the clapping and the cheering. So, the first song went okay.
He looked at Roxanne, Albus and Scorpius. They seemed kind of taken aback that he managed to pull the entire song off but they were excited as well. He smiled and winked at them before he started playing the next song...

July 31 22:34

"James that was unbelievable!" David yelled grabbing him from the back when they reached the backstage.
"We did pretty well, didn't we?" James smiled.
"Pretty well? We rocked...hard!" David shouted and James laughed.
The truth was that people were still cheering from outside. David looked from James to the rest of the band and smirked.
"Oh, my, my, do I hear an encore? I hear an encore!" he said and James rolled his eyes.
"They said we could only play four songs...besides we don't have any more songs prepared", James pointed out.
"So? Come on! We can play 'Moon Dust'! Or 'Follow Me'! We know those two by heart!"
"I don't know..."
"Come on, James! Let's go out there again! Please!" said David dramatically as he fell down to one knee. James laughed again.
"James, there's someone here to see you", said Tony, one of the aurors backstage. "Oh, and they told me to tell you that you're on in five minutes again for two more songs...if you want to".
"Okay, we'll be out in five minutes", he said and the rest of the band cheered. "I'll go see who came backstage for me and I'll be right back, okay?"
"We rock!" David yelled at him and he walked away and he turned to give them the rock on gesture laughing.

July 31 22:36

Anasha, James' band, stepped onstage again and the crowd cheered once more.
"They're going for an encore?" Roxanne asked Albus next to her.
"No, they just came out again to mop the floors", he told her ironically.
"James doesn't look as excited as he was when they left the stage before, does he?" Scorpius asked them before Roxanne could smack Albus' head.
They both turned to look at him. James was looking down and seemed even more stressed than before, if possible. It was like something had happened between those minutes they were backstage that made him get all stressed again.
"No, he doesn't", Albus nodded worried.
"Oh, come on, guys, maybe...maybe it's just...just our idea", Roxanne shrugged as she looked at the her cousin and best friend, while he and the band started playing the first of the two songs they had to perform, 'Moon Dust'

"I've just one thing
To say to you,
Don't feel sorry for me'.

Everything's fine,
I'm not going anywhere.
You mustn't fear.

I'm the one who makes
Space for you wherever,
You wish to fly.

So, leave me down here;
I'll come every night the
Stars are shining

To light your path
So you don't lose
Your way...

My soul is like
Moon dust in the wind.
It will softly caress
Your fragile, little wings
And then it will
Disappear again, high
Amongst the stars.

My soul is like
Moon dust in your hair.
When you're feeling
Lonely, it will remind
You of what once was
And of a drifter whose
Heart was yours and
Yours alone.

I've just one thing to
Say to you 'I don't
Blame you at all'.

Everything's fine, I'm
Not going anywhere.
I won't be cold.

My heart won't
Get in your way,
I assure you.

Leave me now, don't
Speak. But just remember
That wherever you go

Every full moon
You'll be out there
Looking for me.

My soul is like
Moon dust in the wind.
It will softly caress
Your fragile, little wings
And then it will
Disappear again, high
Amongst the stars.

My soul is like
Moon dust in your hair.
When you're feeling lonely
It will remind you of
What once was
And of a drifter whose
Heart was yours and
Yours alone."


The song ended and everybody was cheering again, but Roxanne seemed more concerned now than before.
"He did the song wrong!" she whispered to the others.
"What?"
"He wasn't supposed to end it now, he was supposed to sing one more verse and then end it", she said.
"Are you sure?" Albus asked her. "It seemed okay".
"Look how the band is looking at him", she pointed out. The rest of the band were giving James worried glances; it was his song, he wrote it, he wasn't supposed to forget it...except if he wanted to end it sooner.
"He doesn't look really okay, does he?" Scorpius asked them worried.
James was looking at the floor taking deep breaths. It was like he couldn't breathe out of sudden. The band started playing the next song but James didn't follow them.
"I don't think he is okay, Scorpius", Albus said worried and turned to look at his parents. They were whispering to each other while giving James fast glances. Ginny seemed really irritated.
The band stopped playing when they saw that James wasn't following and the next moment the boy collapsed on the floor.

-Angie-

P.S. I know that this post wasn't like the ones I usually do but really I wanted to write those songs even if they didn't really fit in the whole plot...I promise you though that big parts of the story will be explained soon enough...
