Not all is what it seems

Chapter 6

The last week of summer was spent with my mother in Mississippi. Mother had fawned over the twins, and after telling her Harry's story, showered him with affection and gifts. I smiled at the acts as I got ready for Karaoke with my baby brother.....Okay, maybe he was 13, whatever. He was two years younger, and will always be my baby brother. 

"Maria, you are first up." Michael spoke to me handing me the mic. I had no idea what I should sing, so I thought of the songs I would listen to when I was young. Ah, I know what I should sing! I ran through the song list my brother had accumulated over the years and grabbed the C.D that held my song and flipped to number 4. 

"Sick of all these people talking, sick of all this noise

Tired of all these cameras flashing, sick of being poised

And now my neck is open wide, begging for a fist around it

Already choking on my pride, so there's no use crying about it" 

My voice was calm and soft, easily catching Draco's attention. 

"I'm headed straight for the castle

They wanna make me their queen

And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's saying that I probably shouldn't be so mean

I'm headed straight for the castle

They've got the kingdom locked up

And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's saying I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut

Straight for the castle" 

I sung the chorus, getting a lot mean attention from those in the house. Following the noise like moths follow light. 

"Oh, all these minutes passing, sick of feeling used

If you wanna break these walls down, you're gonna get bruised

And now my neck is open wide, begging for a fist around it

Already choking on my pride, so there's no use crying about it

I'm headed straight for the castle

They wanna make me their queen

And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's saying that I probably shouldn't be so mean

I'm headed straight for the castle

They've got the kingdom locked up

And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's saying I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut

Straight for the castle

There's no use crying about it [x4]

I'm headed straight for the castle

They wanna make me their queen

And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's saying that I probably shouldn't be so mean

I'm headed straight for the castle

They've got the kingdom locked up

And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's saying I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut

Straight for the castle

They wanna make me their queen

And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's saying that I probably shouldn't be so mean

I'm headed straight for the castle

They've got the kingdom locked up

And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's saying I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut

Straight for the castle"

I ended the song, singing the last note. I turned to see my family standing there, smiling at me in a new light. "You've gotten better, Maria." My mother and Step-father spoke in union. I smiled at them, happy to have gotten a little better than I was before.

A/N: 528 words, guys. Less than what I usually write. Well, I'm sorry if this is a little late. I wanna start to get a schedule for my stories, but lately my great Grandma Conley has been in the hospital in the ICU. She started responding again last night, YAY! Alright, so y'all know I wanna do youtube, and the minute I get a job, Imma save up to get the stuff to do it. I'm gonna let y'all chose my youtube name. The majority wins. I love you guys!
