Maralie Lily Charm - 'Snowbody Like Harry

Maralie lay on her bed, staring at some glow-in-the-dark stars she had stuck there a few years ago. She was upset and hurt and lonely and badly needed a hug.

Her phone went off, blaring One Way Or Another (Teenage Kicks). Maralie muttered something about changing her ringtone and answered.

"Vas happenin'?" she said without thinking. Damn.

"Outside," Liberty's voice demanded. "Now."

Maralie was too tired to argue and, in her One Direction pyjamas (they were the only ones she had), stumbled downstairs. She opened the front door and gasped as snowflakes started to flutter around her face. She looked at the ground to see at least three inches of snow. Her eyes widened. Uh, what? she thought.

She frowned and looked closer at the snow. Were they... petals? Rose petals?

Ah. Follow the trail of rose petals. How romantic.

Maralie followed them around the garden and down the road, her Uggs getting a bit wet as she trudged through the snow.

She spotted a note tacked to a signpost and walked over, cursing Liberty under her breath. Maralie wasn't usually cold, even in the snow, but right now she was freezing and sick and felt horrible.

As she got closer, she read it quickly.

Follow the sound of the One Direction songs. xx

She froze as she came to the end. Harry always signed everything with an 'xx'. Her chest got tight and she sighed.

One Direction music? What did he mean by...

Maralie blinked as the first notes of One Thing suddenly started up. She listened and ran down a road on her left, the snow hitting her in the face as she went.

Maralie started to sing along as she hurried down another narrow road. The next song was Nobody Compares.

"You're so pretty when you cry, when you cry
Wasn't ready to hear you say goodbye
Now you're tearing me apart
Tearing me apart
You're tearing me apart," she sang softly, shivering slightly as the snow glistened at her feet.

"You're so London, your own style, your own style
Girl together we're so good, so girl why
Are you tearing me apart
Tearing me apart
Tearing me apart,"

Maralie's eyes widened as Zayn Malik, wearing a tuxedo, came out from behind a tree and sang to her.

"Uh... w-what..." Maralie stuttered, her heart skipping a beat as Harry climbed down a tree and started to join in.

"Did I do something stupid?
Yeah, girl if I blew it
Just tell me what I did
Let's work through it
There's gotta be some way
To get you to want me
Like before,"

Then 3/5 of One Direction jumped out from behind a hedge and sang along.

"Cause no-one ever looked so good in a dress
And it hurts cause I know you won't be mine tonight
No-one ever makes me feel like you do when you smile
Baby tell me how to make it right
Now all of my friends say
It's not really worth it
But even if that's true
No-one in the world could stop me from not moving on
Baby even if I wanted to
Nobody compares to you,"

Maralie started to hyperventilate as Louis winked at her.

"We're so Paris when we kiss
When we kiss
I remember the taste of your lipstick
Now you're tearing up my heart
Tearing up my heart
You're tearing up my heart,"

Niall grinned as he came forward, his cheeks flushed with the cold. Maralie blinked at him as he sang.

"Did I do something stupid?
Yeah girl if I blew it
Just tell me what I did
Let's work through it
There's gotta be some way
To get you to want me
Like before,

"Cause no-one ever looked so good in a dress
And it hurts cause I know you won't be mine tonight
No-one ever makes me feel like you do when you smile
Baby tell me how to make it right
Now all of my friends say
It's not really worth it
But even if that's true
No-one in the world could stop me from not moving on
Baby even if I wanted to
Nobody compares to you,
Nobody compares to you,"

Liam came forward and gave Maralie a smile and a nod. She watched, speechless and slightly suffering from frostbite.

"There's gotta be some way
To get you to want me
Like before,"

"Cause no-one ever looked so good in a dress
And it hurts cause I know you won't be mine tonight
No-one ever makes me feel like you do when you smile
Baby tell me how to make it right
Now all of my friends say
It's not really worth it
But even if that's true
No-one in the world could stop me from not moving on
Baby even if I wanted to,"

Harry came forward and took Maralie's hand, whispering in her ear,

'Nobody compares to you,"

The boys finished and Maralie took a deep breath, not really knowing what to say.

"So," she started, looking at the boys in front of her. "That happened."

Niall seemed to think that comment was hilarious and laughed loudly.

"How did you do... this?" Maralie frowned, looking around.

"Well, love, Harry's sister called us up and said Harry needed us to sing-" Louis started, but Zayn poked him. "She means the snow, idiot."

"We didn't make the snow," Liam laughed. "It just kinda happened."

Maralie nodded, still a bit confused. "And exactly what was this, uh, for?"

"Mara," Harry hugged her from behind and she automatically leaned into him, "I'm so sorry about everything. I told management that either you were my girlfriend or I'd quit the band."

"You didn't!" Maralie gasped.

"So they agreed, eventually." Harry leaned down and whispered into her ear. "So let's go back to my place, will we?"

Maralie smiled and held out her hands. Harry gave the boys a look and they frowned, but grabbed hold of her.

"Hold on," she said, then teleported.

"OH MY GOD!" Zayn screamed, falling onto the sofa. "WE WERE IN THE SNOW A FEW SECONDS AGO!"

"WHAT HAPPENED?!" Louis shrieked, flailing about.

Liam held his head in his hands. "That was horrifing," he muttered.

Niall was on the ground, twitching and moaning about his stomach.

Maralie looked up at Harry. He scratched his neck.

"We, uh, told them about magic," Harry gave her a weak smile. "But when you're dealing with 5 complete idiots..."

Maralie laughed and teleported into the kitchen. "Tea anyone?"

Louis stopped shrieking. "Yorkshire if you have it, love!

Zayn stopped screaming. "Can I have a biscuit please?"

Liam sat down. "If you wouldn't mind, Maralie."

Niall looked up. "Do you have Nandos?"

Maralie laughed again and Harry went in to help her.

"Keep it PG guys!" Louis screamed.

Maralie turned crimson and Harry glared at him. "Shut up Louis!"

While Maralie got the tea, Harry smiled at her. He put biscuits onto a plate and, when she was pouring milk in the tea, kissed her head. She jumped and the milk spilled onto the counter. She rolled her eyes at him and cleaned it up.

"BISCUITS!" Harry yelled, putting them on the coffee table.

Everyone tackled him. He yelped and Maralie brought in the tea.

"Guys!" she announced. The boys looked up at her.

"Give me the biscuits." she demanded.

They exchanged a look, then Harry passed her the plate.

She looked at them, then held one out. "Liam,"

Liam smiled and took it. "Thank you Maralie."

He got dirty looks as he sat down.

"Harry," Maralie continued, giving him a biscuit too.

He grinned and kissed her cheek, making her blush.

"Zayn,"

Zayn got his and nommed it quickly, trying to hide it.

"Niall,"

Niall tackled Maralie and took the cookie, then ran into the kitchen and locked the door.

She frowned at him before holding out the last one. "Louis."

"Why am I last?" he whined.

"Because you were like a wild animal!"

"No I wasn't!"

"You bit Niall!"

"Because he put his hand into my mouth!"

"It's true," Zayn confirmed.

Oh my God, Maralie thought. Am I going to be stuck with these morons forever?

Hehe. I like this chapter.
Someone evil will come in the next chapter. I can guarantee. :P
