`` {LUCY} there's never a wish, better then this

[Noah Dale]

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best.

Noah quietly made his way up to the seventh floor. He had been harassed all day by different groups, either it to poke fun, trying to be nice, a curious first year 'who thought he was hot' or home work help or something completely irrelavent. He was just sick of people nagging him about nonsense things. He needed a break. He needed silence. He needed to play piano.

Not many people knew that Noah Dale could play an instrument. Sure, from time to time he would conjured a guitar in the common room when they won a Quidditch match for a laugh, but piano was his true passion. It started with his mother teaching him when he was three, and now he was quite skillful at the intrusment, it was one of the only ways to calm down and let his anger out. It reminded him of home, when his mother Ria would play The Homecoming whenever his father returned from work, or he from a friends house.

I need a quite place, I need a quite place, I need a quite place. walking by the wall which the Room of Requirements laid. As soon as the door appeared Noah smiled to himself and pushed open the door. Much like when they did their training, the room was covered with mirrors. He sighed gently, watching as the grand piano formed in the middle of the room. He swiftly made his way over to it and rubbed his hands along the side, looking inside for a moment before wakling over to the keys, hitting middle C. Perfect tune, but of course, what did you expect when a piano is conjured into a room? He pulled out the bench and sat down, clearing his mind and began to play around with the chords and slowly moved into Brahms Waltz. Noah felt completely relaxed, but he was sure he would be disturbed one way or another.

Lucy sighed, she was bored and was walking through the castle to try and find something to do. She honestly had no clue what it was she was looking for, but she was sure that she would know when she came to it. She sighed again and continued to walk through the castle. She was going up the stairs to the seventh floor when she heard faint piano music.She stopped and listened for a moment, it was beatiful. she slowly walked through the hall trying to find where the music was coming from.

She finally came to a door, and it sounded like whoever was playing the beautiful music was in there.She quietly opened the door, hoping to not disturb the boy playing the piece, for it was a boy, and he was in Hufflepuff from the looks of his robes. She quietly tiptoed into the room, and leaned against a wall, and just listened as he played.It was a lovely piece, and Lucy couldnt help but close her eyes and focus only on the music. She let out a small content sigh and just stood there listening

He had been playing quietly, letting the tune ease the worry out of his stressed body as he let the melody flow. He could of almost sworn he heard someone behind him, but he continued playing the sweet melody. It reminded him of home, back to when his parents weren't disappointed in him. Back to when his father would actually smile at him, and his mother was happy. Not it seemed the opposite. He loved Hogwarts because it was getting away from them, but hated because then he was surrounded by a ton of fake friend. Noah wasn't sure if he actually had one true friend at the school.

As he came to the end of his piece he was sure he heard someone behind him. He stop abutly and turned in his seeat, looking at the girl bewilderdingly. He could tell instantly she was a Weasley, with the bright red hair and the soft expression on her face made him feel more at easy. He ran a hand through his hair and raised an eyebrow. "May I ask what you're are doing?" he questioned quietly, feeling a bit overwhelmed, knowing someone was watching him play.

Lucy continued to listen to the boy play. It was a pretty melody. Her eyes slowly opened when he stopped playing. She blushed a little when he asked what she was doing there."Well, um, you see I was wandering around the castle, and I heard you playing, and I-I just wanted to find out where the music was coming from. Im sorry I entruded on you'r playing. But it was so beautiful I couldnt help it. Im not much of a piano player, but I can play cello, and I sing a bit. But Is nothing as beautiful as what you just played." she said rambling.

She sighed, this wasnt good. She hoped she hadnt made him mad."Im Lucy Weasley by the way. I can, um, just leave if you would like. I really am terribly sorry about entruding on you." she said her blush deepening. Great Lucy, just bloody great, you've probably made him angry noww, good going! she thought to herself."So um yea." she said running a hand through her long red hair. She was painfully shy, but she did try to get over ir, not that it helped, but hey at least she tried.

Noah looked up at her and blushed as she called his piece the most beautiful thing she had ever heard. "Thanks.. I guess.." he murmured, rubbing the back of his neck with his hand as he turned back to the piano for a second before giving confused look towards the girl again, watching as a red lounge chair appeared only five feet from the piano. He guessed she was staying since the room was making accomedations for her. As he turned to her again, she began to ask for forgiveness over and over again and he sighed. "Sorry.. I'm just not used to.. people." he mutter the last word and stood up from the bench, making his way slowily over to her.

"Umm.. I'm.. uhh Noah. I think I'm in your.. History of Magic class?" Noah asked, noticing her from somewhere. She seemed so fimiliar, but he couldn't truly place a finger on from what sbject. There was so many Weasley's in the school it was sometimes had to pick out who was who. To Noah, they were all just a bunch of red heads. But this.. Lucy he believed, seemed quite interesting. "So you play cello?" he asked, generally curious now. "Sing as well?"

She smiled softly as he approached."Oh its fine, I'm a bit shy myself." she said. When he said he was in her HIstory class she started racking her brain trying to remember."Oh! Yea we do have History together!" she said brightly."Its nice to meet you Noah." she said smiling gently at him. He asked about her cello, and singing."Well, I'm pretty good at cello, and I'm good at singing, but I dont think Im all that great." she said blushing a bit. The truth was she was a very good player, and she had a decent voice, but she had never been that confident.

She blushed again" What I play and sing is nothing to the piece you just played, I'm just decent. I love listening to music though. Beethoven is my favorite composer, I like how dark and rich his pieces are." she said smiling at Noah. She was rambling again, and she knew it, but there wasn't anything she could really do to stop it. She shifted her weight to her other leg. Noah seemed nice, just shy, ut Lucy was also the same way, so she understood how he felt, and could sympathize with him. She hated her shyness but there was nothing she could do to remedy it. But she was starting to warm up to Noah, and figured the rambling and constant blushing would go away soon.

She spins and she sways to whatever song plays,
Without a care in the world.
And I'm sittin' here wearin' the weight of the world on my shoulders.

Noah pressed his lips together and nodded as she told him she was also shy. People just weren't his thing, but he wasn't sure half the time he was his true self around people. He felt he was fake half the time. He pulled him out of his thoughts as she agreed they had History together. "It's nice to meet you too Lucy." Noah smiled softly, but then looked back own at the ground, hands in his pockets. As she spoke of the cello and her voice, he could tell by her voice she didn't mean it. He had lied so much over the years he could tell the difference from truth and a lie. But he wouldn't say anything about it.

"I'm sure your excellent. Really, I'm not all that great, I screwed up in that piece several times." he said truthfully, turning back to go and sit on the bench, hoping she would take the lounge chair beside him. This Lucy Weasley seemed like a nice person after all, he was sure she wouldn't be too much of a bother to him. He motioned with his hand to the seat and turned to the piano again, playing a few chords. He smiled, as she told him Beethoven was her favorite composer, wondering if she was just saying that. But as she described his style of music, he could tell she wasn't. He began to play Beethoven's Moonlight Sonnet, one of his favorite pieces to play, no matter how simple he found it. "I'd love to hear you play or sing. Besides piano I also play guitar and violin, and I'm familiar with the flute, but it's not something I would play all the time." he explained, why wondering to himself why he just shared all that with her.

She smiled at him again when he said he was sure she was good." I don't know, I mean I'v only ever played for my family, and a few friends, and you can never really count on them to tell you if you were good or not, or what you need to work on. Well, I also play for my teachers but they just tell me what I need to wrok on." she said, rambling yet again, however this time was not as bad as the others.

She followed him back over to the piano and smiled as he began to play Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata."That's one of my favorites!" she exclaimed happily. She blushed a bit when he said he would love to hear her play or sing, and then mentioned all the instruments he played."Oh I love all those instruments! They all have such beautiful sounds! I would love to hear you play well all of them !" she said smiling brightly at him. She listened to him continue to play for afew more minuets before a thought came into her head."Hey Noah? You said you wanted to hear me sing or play right? Well if I were to get the voice music I've been working on, would you play the piano part?" she asked him a bit shyly. She didnt know if he would, and she was a bit afraid of him hearing her voice, mainly because they had just really met, and the only friends who had ever heard her sing before she had known for a good while already."I mean only if you want to though." she added quickly.

[Noah Dale]

When I see your smile
Tears roll down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one

Noah chuckles as she mentioned her family. They were the largest family, most likely, in the wizarding world. "I'm sure at least one person was truthful to you. Really, you have enough of them for at least one person not to lie." he chuckled, watching his hands play the sweet melody to it's end, beginning Beethoven's Fleur Elise now. This was one of his favorite pieces due to the story behind it, but he didn't want to mention that to Lucy. Noah blushed slightly as she told him she wanted to hear him play all those instruments. No one had wanted to hear him play before. It was a change.

Noah stopped playing as she mention he wanted to hear her. He nodded eagerly. "I've gotten quite good a sight reading in the years, I'm sure it won't be too difficult. What song?" he asked, turning and looking at Lucy now. He wondered if this was start of a friendship. He hadn't really had any friends at all before, he was more of a loner. But there was something different about Lucy, something he liked.

She laughed as he mentioned the largness of her family."I suppose you've got a point there. My family is rather..." she thought for a moment trying to decide what word to use "well huge." she said with another laugh.She smiled as he went into Fur Elise, another of her favorites. She smiled at Noah"Yet another of my favorites." she said with a giggle. She sat there and continued to listen to him play, he was good, no he was better than good, the pieces he played were practically flawless, and beautiful.

She blushed a bit when he mentioned him being good at sight reading and then asked her what song she wanted to sing." The song is called Think of Me, and its from Phantom of the Opera. I'm a soprano, which means I have the talent of hitting ungodly high notes, but this one isnt bad, it only has one really high note." she said rambling again."Sorry I tend to ramble." she said a blush flooding her freckled cheeks."I'll just um accio the music real fast." she said and pulled her wand out of her pocket."Accio music folder" she said softly with the correct wand movement,and the music was in her hands not two minuets later.She at back down with the folder in her lap."I have it memorized so I dont need any of the music, and the piano and voice part are printed on the same sheets." she said looking back up at Noah and giving him a small, slightly nervous smile.

And it feels so much lighter, since I met you

Noah smiled as she mentioned the song from the Phantom of the Opera. "I love that musical. I went with my Mum to see it in London." he told her, watching as the sheet music soon appeared in front of his face. "Give me a minute to warm up to the piece." he told her, spreading the music out and looking over it. When he found a part he couldn't play, he would playing it a through a couple of times until he sounded right, then went to the next part. He remembered the song clearly, knowing Raoul's part. He just looked over it quietly to himself, deciding to surprise her. His voice wasn't too bad, and he hoped she wouldn't be apauled by it. He had been told by several people that he had a wonderful voice, but he never liked to share it.

He hit the frst few chords and sighed, making sure everything was in order. He played the first few notes, getting the feel for the music, then looked at Lucy. "Ready?" he asked, smiling up at her.

Lucy smiled "Really? Its one of my favorites, that and Les Miserables!" she exclaimed happily. She smiled at him when he said he needed to warm up the piece"Take your time." she said and sat back down, and listened to him play through a few parts. She stood up when he asked if she was ready."Uhm, give me a minuet to run through a few exercises, I dont want my voice to crack, or squeak while I'm in the higher range." she said with a small laugh."Trust me, it isnt very pretty when that happens." she said with another giggle.

She took a deep breath and ran a few scales and arpegios, and then did a few of the other exercises her voice teacher had taught her."Okay, now I'm ready." she said with a smile. She took a deep breath and listened to the opening notes before starting to sing the piece.
"Think of me,
think of me, fondly,
when we've said
goodbye.
Remember me
once in a while -
please promise me
you'll try.

When you find
that, once
again, you long
to take your heart back
and be free -
if you
ever find
a moment,
spare a thought
for me ...

We never said
our love
was evergreen,
or as unchanging
as the sea -
but if
you can still
remember,
stop and think
of me ...

Think of all the things
we've said and seen -
don't think about the way
things might have been ...

Think of me,
think of me waking,
silent and
resigned.
Imagine me,
trying to hard
to put you
from my mind.

Recall those days,
look back on
all those times,
think of the things
we'll never do -
there will
never be
a day, when
I won't think
of you ..." She stopped here, it was a break for her, because in the play this is where Raul would come in. Lucy was happy for the brake, it meant she had a bit of time to prepare for the higher notes that were coming up next.

Noah nodded as she said her favorites were PotO and Les Miserables. "I like Les Miserables," he said the title in a thick French accent, not sure if she would understand or not "But I'd have to say that Wicked is probably my favorite. I always enjoyed The Wizard of Oz as a kid. Oh, and that new one.. Billy Elliot is wonderful! I've always liked the dancey musicals, call me gay if you will but it's the one thing my mother and I seem to agree on anymore." Noah chuckled then blushed furiously. He could not believe he just shared that with her.

With a deep sigh, Noah began to play the piece, closing eyes and letting the music flow freely from his fingers. As she began to sing he had to suck in a breathe. Her voice, it was magnificent. He couldn't of described if he tried. Well, yes he could. It was just like Christine's voice from the movie, only better. She could actually hit the high notes with ease. He looked away from the music to looked wide eyed at her. He had actually made a small mistake in the music when she began to sing. She said she was decent, when really she was magnificent. Not a lot of musicians and singers could take his breathe away.

Just as he thought, she stopped for the break in between her and Raoul's part.

Can it be?
Can it be Christine?

Bravo! He looked at her and made a small nod with his head to her before looking back at the music.

Long ago
it seems so long ago
how young and innocent we were
She may
not remember
me, but
I remember
her ...

He took another deep breathe when he finished, slightly nervous to think what she would of thought of his singing.

She was a bit surprised at first when he came in and sang Raul's part, but she smiled brightly as he did. He was a wonderful singer. She smiled brightly as he finished, and then she took another breath and started back in on her part.

"Flowers fade,
The fruits of summer fade,
They have their seasons, so do we
but please promise me, that sometimes
you will think of me!"

Her voice floated with ease over the arpegio, and small scale run, and then she finished with the high note, hitting it. She smiled to herself."I hit it!" she said softly,she normally did not hit the note as clearly as she did, but it seemed today she had. She turned to smile at Noah."You didnt tell me you could sing! You were amazing!" she exclaimed excitedly and then plopped next to him on the piano bench.She blushed a little, before looking up at him and smiling softly, almost shyly."So uhm, wh-what did you think?" she asked shyly. She was always a bit more self concious when it came to singing than her cello. She bit her lip nervously as she waited for him to say somethin

Noah chuckled. "I didn't tell you because I can't. Please, I ruined your beautiful song. Your voice is stupendous." he said, quickly ducking his head away from her as the bright red blush formed on his cheeks. But it was the truth, she was amazing. He sighed and played around with a few keys, listening to her voice fill the empty room. As she sat down on the piano bench, he immedietly tensed up, not sure exactly what to be doing. He sighed gently, a habit of his, and began to play a Coldplay number.

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse.

"I heard it when I was in London with Mum. They're a good band, for a bunch of Muggles." Noah chuckled, humming the ret of the lyrics in his head as he played along. "You shouldn't be afraid to sing. You could hit all those notes perfectly, even better then the movie Charlotte." Noah told her honestly, feeling as little more braver, a little more confident towards his new friend, he suppose he could call her that.[/blockquote][/size]
