Maya's PoV

So what basically happened today can be summarized in 3 sentences, lets try that theory out. There was a stupid Draco. There was a Mad-Eye Moody. And with a swish of a wand, behold FERRET BOY! See! It all works out! Right now, I'm on the top of the Astronomy tower with Emmy, my guitar in hand, and finishing up a single. It's called Smoke and Fire. The drama of the week is that I broke up with my boyfriend. But the song isn't about our breakup, It describes how it feels when a relationship comes to an end, and the very first part afterward, and dealing with that on your own. You don't have that person there to talk to 24/7 anymore. The song came from a place where I was fresh out of the oven, maybe not in the best place, but it really makes me feel empowered when I sing it.

"Let's give it a test run why don't we," I muttered.

Emmy started to strum her guitar, passion in every stroke.

"Oh, oh, our love is running into a burning building, Oh, oh, our love is scattered ash with a burnt up feeling, Feel the heat so we started running, You know you saw it coming, But the memories are still in my mind, Burning like smoke and fire," I began singing, raw emotion fueling my singing.

I sang the entire song, pouring my heart into the lyrics, and when I finished, it felt like a weight had lifted from my chest. DEFINITELY going to put this song out. And you know what's GREAT! A lot of the people in Disney, and my record company have a few Squibs or Witches/Wizards in the head, so they know about ME being a witch, so that's nice. I heard slow clapping behind me, so I turned around and two red-headed twins stepped out of the shadow. Now, I wasn't that close with those two, scratch that, I'm not close with like ANYONE in my family, only Bill and Charlie. You're probably like, what about your twin? Ron has Harry and Hermione, we've never really bonded.

"Do you guys need anything?" I asked, my expression guarded.

Fred's PoV

It breaks my heart to see my little sister guarded around her own family. Bill and Charlie are the only ones remotely close to her. And I KNOW that George feels the same. Bill and Charlie took us aside, we're the oldest Weasleys in Hogwarts right now, and they made us promise to keep an eye on Maya, make sure that she's alright.

"You're family Maya, and we haven't been good Older Siblings," George said.

"So, we were wondering if we could hang out with you?" I asked her hopefully.

"Get to know each other?" George said.

Emmy signed something to them and they nodded. She gave me a small hug and then left the room. 

She hesitated but nodded. We sat down in a little triangle, all facing each other.

"So Maya, hows the acting going?" I asked her trying to start a conversation.

'It's good," She said giving me a weak smile.

"Were you writing a new song?" I asked her curiously.

"Yeah," She said, "Just polishing it up. I'm gonna send it in tomorrow,"

"That's cool," George said half-heartedly, we ALL knew that this conversation wasn't going anywhere.

"Is it a Break-up song?" I asked her.

She shook her head, "More like the feeling AFTER you break up with someone,"

"Did YOU break up with someone?" I asked her narrowing my eyes.

"Yeah," She said, "Don't make a big deal out of it,"

"Do we need to go and beat him to a pulp?" I asked her innocently.

She shook her head, her blonde curls bouncing. 

"Are you happy with your house?" I asked her.

She nodded, "I like it, I like Slytherin a lot," She said "I know you guys all like Gryffindor, but that may be because of how you were all raised. I didn't know you guys, I lived in a different country, and Magic never existed for me. I just prefer Slytherin, I think that it suits me better. Yiu guys are making it out like it's a huge deal, and that I betrayed my family or something. I shouldn't have to choose between family and Slytherin. But I'm not going to change who I am, just because you don't like it. You guys are free to be as crazy, and silly as you want. And I should be allowed to be who I am,"

"Sing for us Maya?" George asked.

She looked at him surprised but then nodded. She started to strum her guitar quietly and then started to sing clearly.

"I remember tears streaming down your face

When I said, "I'll never let you go."

When all those shadows almost killed your light

I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone,"

But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

Just close your eyes

The sun is going down

You'll be alright

No one can hurt you now

Come morning light

You and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window, darling?

Everything's on fire

The war outside our door keeps raging on

Hold onto this lullaby

Even when the music's gone

Gone

Just close your eyes

The sun is going down

You'll be alright

No one can hurt you now

Come morning light

You and I'll be safe and sound

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

La, la (la, la)

La, la (la, la)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

La, la (la, la)

Just close your eyes

You'll be alright

Come morning light,

You and I'll be safe and sound...

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh" She sang quietly, unshed tears shining in her eyes, as emotion was poured into the song.

Her voice was clear and beautiful. Like an Angel.

"That was beautiful Maya," I said and George nodded.

"I used to sing it when I was little. It was one of the first songs my Mom sang to me," She told us quietly.

George and I sat on either side of her and engulfed her in a hug. She stiffened, and tensed visibly, but began to relax, slowly.

"We love you, Maya," I told her.

"Always have," George said.

"Always will," We both said at the same time.
