Selina could not help but smile at the fact that well-dressed man knew her name. Of course, she supposed that with the bloody badge on her chest that was sort of a given. Huh. She had always thought that when she accepted this thing it wouldn't change anything and in the most common sense it hadn't- Selina was still nutters, BUT NOW she was a crazy person who teachers actually knew the name of. Even Mr. Well-Dressed man knew her name and he had just gotten to the school. How could she forget? He showed up with cat food. Weirdo. Eh, she liked him. She REALLY hoped that he wasn't a Slytherin.

And then class started.

Merlin, he really liked to talk, didn't he? The poor chap just kept going and going and going. She was worried that he might pass out or worse keep talking. Did he have a severe case of blabber mouth or something? The only people she knew who talked THAT much were... ah... yeah, well... that made sense. HE was a Gryffindor. No wonder he talked so much. Lions were dizzying creatures who, even being one herself, Selina did not fully understand.

Well at least he was a lion. That made her inwardly bounce because she had been worried that he would be a snake because only Slytherin boys were sort of girly men about their appearances. So maybe he was just like a self conscious lion. Yes, they would go with that.

He wanted them to WHAT now? Selina Skylar, as a rule, did not sing. It was not that she did not like singing in grand venues like her shower, but singing in public was a whole other demon on its own. Besides, the redhead had been told on numerous occasions that she could not sing or dance. In fact, the words people used most often were tone deaf and awkward fish. For those reasons and the simple fact that she actually could not sing, the whole prospect of singing in front of the class was TERRIFYING. Um, yeah could she not do that?

The seventh year felt a tad better when he said that they did not have to sing if they did not want to, but then why was EVERYONE singing? Merlin, this was not an episode of the old Muggle television show Glee. Not everyone knew the choreography... some awkward little gingers actually couldn't keep up.

Clearing her throat a little and feeling all SEVEN types of awkward- uncomfortable, self-conscious, embarrassed, inadequate, fidgety, unprepared and awkward (which was the worst type of awkward)- Selina rose her hand and said, "Um, hello. I'm Selina Skylar." She was almost waiting for the hello Selina echo to come back to her like one of those Muggle self-help groups. "And I guess you could say that the song Stars I Shall Find by David Dickau could work."

VERY out of tune and almost unlistenable, she started to sing softly, "TherUH WILLA beeee reeessT AHND SUUURE Stars ShIIINing over the ROOF tops crowned with SNOOOOOOWWWUUHHH. A reign of resth- sirene forgettinGGGG the MUUUSTICK of stillness... HOLLYYY aaaand lowwwwwuh! I willl make THIS world of MIYYYAAHH devising out of a Dreaam in my LOOOOONElyyuh minduh! I shallluh find the KRYSTAL of peace aboooove me. Stars I shall FINDDUH." Clearing her throat a little, she stopped. Yeah, that was REALLY out of tune.
