RP: Concert

R: Shh, give them a minute to warm up!

Remus hissed.

~

D: Oh, I sing a little...

Of course she did. Evangeline sang.

~

Regulus glanced at her over his shoulder and kept walking as Sean droned on.

A: I can tell. I just know.

But she swayed slightly.

-

S: Like an angel!

He winked.

R: No you don't, stop being rude.

Remus swayed with her, mouthing along discreetly.

~

D: No, silly...

Dahlia hit him lightly.

Millie's curiosity quickly got the best of her.

M: I'll be right back.

She told Sean, interrupting him midsentence, and then she wove through the rowdy crowd after Regulus.

A: Do too.

She sang a line of the chorus loudly when everyone else did and then clamped her hand over her mouth.

-

S: You probably sing better than anyone in the world.

He flirted, sticking his tongue out.

EMILy:

Mum turned the WiFi off:
Regulus turned immediately as she got behind him, as if he knew already who it was.

R: Mollie, right?

~

R: I told you!

Remus sang quietly under his breath.

~

D: Oh, no, no...

James mimicked Sirius behind his back, to the amusement of Evangeline and bemusement of Andrew.

Sirius saw James and stuck ones up subtly.

-

Amy hit him.

M: That's right. Darren, if I remember correctly.

Millie gave him a cute, amused smile, despite her failed efforts to appear blasé. The lock of hair that Sean had tucked away fell out from behind her ear in one shiny curl, softening her bold look. It may have just been the lighting, but she looked looser next to him, more relaxed.

James stuck them right back.

~

Remus whimpered and hit her back lightly.

~

Regulus flicked the curl, making it bounce and swing.

R: Yeah, that's it. Enjoying your date, Mollie?

Millie's smile twitched when he did this, like it wanted to widen but she was containing it.

M: ...Yes.

Her face told otherwise.

M: Enjoying yours?

Her gaze lifted to Jasmine, who was currently flirting with another, ugly Slytherin.

The opening act finished and the Granite Gargoyles ran on stage. There was screaming as they begin their first song: I Wish You Weren't (an Enchanted Newt), and Amy sang along, jumping.

-

S: So!

Sirius said above the noise.

S: You gonna sing?

R: I don't have a date.

Regulus smirked, glancing at Jasmine, too.

~

Remus nodded to the beat, awkwardly shuffling, as tall people often did.

~

D: Maybe!

She replied, having to shout a little.

Amy laughed at his awkwardness and grabbed his hands to dance with him. It was a fast song, and she knew every word.

-

S: Go on!

M: Oh, I thought- never mind.

Millie's face reddened with a blush, although it was partially hidden when the lights dimmed and the main act ran onstage. When the crowd started dancing to the beat, she was bumped closer to him. She bit her lip and looked around -- they were the only two just standing, everyone around them was dancing -- then looked at him through her lashes, her eyes asking the question that she didn't have enough guts to ask. Sean was all but forgotten. She wanted to indulge herself, just this once.

Regulus looked around to check Sirius wasn't around, then discreetly took a step forwards, as 70s dancing mainly consisted of dancing in front of each other.

~

Remus held her hands awkwardly, moving awkwardly and singing a little awkwardly.

~

Dahlia sang along quietly.

M: Come on, is that all you've got? You're barely moving!

She laughed and did a little twirl on her heel, causing the skirt of her dress to spin with her, cos she was cute like that.

A: Come on! You could do better in your sleep.

She shouted.

-

S: Beautiful!

He shouted, jumping to the beat.

Regulus watched the skirt go up appreciatively - he may have been a gentleman, but he was still interested in women and wasn't going to avert his eyes for her decency. He ramped up his dancing a little, still moving little but looking alright, considering he wasn't really a concert person.

~

Remus laughed and loosened up a little as he contented himself with the fact that no one was looking at him, and that Amy didn't care.

R: How do you know?

He called over the music.

~

Dahlia giggled and sang a bit louder. It was in tune, but nothing special.

A: Just something James told me.

She teased, twirling around a bit and looking cute.

-

S: Ah! The songbird is freed.

He teased, kissing her forehead.

Millie caught him looking just as she twirled back to face him. She felt another blush spread out onto her cheeks again, but this time she didn't try to force it down. Slightly breathless from dancing with her cheeks flushed, she seemed all the more vibrant.

M: That's more like it!

When she was pushed against him again, she only laughed and kept moving, all thoughts of dry, predictable conversation pushed away.

M: I'm glad you don't have a date.

It was barely audible, as she had said it so softly amid all the shouting and loud music.

Remus blushed.

R: He's wrong, I don't dance!

Apart from that one time when they'd had a bit too much firewhiskey.

~

Dahlia giggled again, singing a bit louder. She wasn't great. Evangeline watched and rolled her eyes: she could sing so much better.

~

R: And what about yours?

Regulus raised his eyebrows and looked at Sean, who was nodding along looking a bit dull.

A: Clearly.

As the next song came on, slightly slower but still upbeat, she laughed at his clear awkwardness.

-

Sirius joined her, clasping her hands and bringing her closer.

Remus snickered a little and tried to look less like a dancing spider.

~

Dahlia was blushing and giggling and dancing and singing and basically looking like she was having the perfect date with the perfect guy, which in her mind she was. Evangeline's eyes had turned green. Ahem.

A: You look like a dancing spider.

She muttered, smiling.

-

Sirius whispered a compliment and fluffed his hair up. He seemed to stick out from the crowd, maybe it was the way he smiled at Dahlia, or his laugh that rang above the noise. Either way, it was hard to miss him.

R: Hey! That's rude!

~

Other looked and saw fleetingly; someone was mesmerised. Evangeline was barely paying attention to Andrew, which seemed to irk him slightly. He tapped her shoulder but she didn't move.

A: Evangeline.

E: Hm? What?

A: Are you even listening to me?

This made her look at him with a shadow of a smile.

E: Of course, you're talking about... transfiguration.

A: No, I'm talking about my Quidditch score last season! It's like you don't want to be here with me!

E: No, I do!

A: How come you aren't paying attention to me, then? Maybe you'd rather be on a date with Sirius!

He shouted this so loud that it could be heard even above the music. Evangeline froze, looking at the one person she hoped hadn't heard it.
