Kitty stood behind the screen on-stage. The cold night had slowly crept in. With a darkened, clear sky, she could hear the buzz of countless festival goers and pupils in the crowd, her knees knocking together a little nervously.
Pull yourself together, Kit! Twirling a lock of brown hair around her thin, slender index finger, her black painted lips twisted inwards before exhaling a long sigh of anxiety. She'd been practising for weeks; all the girls told her how amazing it would be, and she didn't want to let them down. Kitty's parents had also travelled down to Hogsmeade to support their youngest daughter - she couldn't believe her father's encouragement. Kitty wasn't surprised that Violet had refused to acknowledge her sister's talent, and in all honesty, couldn't blame her elder sibling. Kitty had been dreadful to Violet.

A terrifically loud bang of a bass drum resounded through the quiet air, signalling the beginning of Kitty Li's performance. Her shaking fingers immediately gripped the microphone with steely determination. As the banging became more rhythmic, the crowd erupted into a unified scream. Kitty closed her eyes. The fourth beat was her cue.

The stage was lit by an army of fierce magenta fireworks, and Kitty posed with both hands on her hips behind the scream, her petite silhouette illuminated by the blinding lights. Diva it up, Kitty! The music began. The screen vanished and Kitty stood there, smiling at the screaming crowds. For that split second, the border that had separated her for so long from her classmates disappeared. She wasn't a stuck-up Queen Bee, and they weren't inferior. Kitty almost forgot who she was. It was time to perform. Parting her lips ti sing, the music kicked in and her backing dancers leaped onstage.

High-kicking her way throughout, flicking her hair and plenty of hip clicking, Kitty was on-top form, and as soon as the song ended, she found herself propped in the air by her plethora of male dancers. A sincere, honest and warm smile on her face, she couldn't believe her luck.

Dad would be so proud.

Aiden's Outfit

Aiden wasn't supposed to be here.  He wasn't supposed to be here, standing at the back of the crowded place watching the impatient audience wait for Kitty's performance.  Instead, he was supposed to be in London at home.  Father's orders... he was forbidden to go to the Winter Festival.  Aiden hadn't even tried arguing with his father.  Let the tyrant think his son was coming directly home.  What was he going to do when Aiden didn't show up?  Sure, he could apparate there and drag Aiden home, but, that would cause a scene, something that Aiden's father was 'above'.

Aiden didn't want to go home.  His holiday would be spent like all the others: going to the boring Christmas parties hosted by his father's business partners.  Wow, what fun.... Hence why Aiden had decided to miss the train back to London and stay for the festival.  He wasn't much of a party person, but the festival promised to be more fun than being at home.  Besides, Kitty was performing.  As a good friend it made sense that he would stay and watch her perform.

When he had entered the venue, he about walked right back out.  A big place filled with so many people who were screaming, dancing, being rowdy.... that definitely was not a place Aiden wanted to be.  But, the thought of Kitty kept his feet walking forwards and he had found a nice place to stand at the back where it wasn't so crowded.

He heard a drum begin playing onstage.  Looking up, Aiden's eyes set on Kitty's familiar face as she began.  Her powerful voice sounded throughout the venue, making the audience go wild.  Aiden was mesmerized.  He had always envied Kitty for her confidence and, in general, the way she carried herself.  She sure wasn't holding back any of that now.  The crowd was in her hands from the instant she began and she sure knew how to keep them entertained.  Aiden had heard her sing before and knew how talented she was.... but he still was continuously awed.

Her performance ended.  The crowd erupted.  Aiden raised his hands above his head and joined in the applause.  Yep, he was definitely happy that he had stayed... even if it meant getting in trouble with his father.
