01. CLEMENTINE de washington ( i’m alright, i don’t mind, i’m just running into something bigger than the something that i left behind. you are restless, very young, got a message from your mother, said to tell you she’ll be coming round the mountain when she comes. )

02. TITANIUM de david guetta ft. sia ( you shout it out, but i can’t hear a word you say. i’m criticized, but all your bullets ricochet. shoot me down, but i get up. raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones, i’m talking loud, not saying much. i’m bulletproof, nothing to lose. fire away, fire away. ricochet, you take your aim. fire away, fire away. you shoot me down, but i won’t fall, i am titanium.

03. ONE GIRL REVOLUTION de superchick ( i wear a disguise, i’m just your average jane. the super doesn’t stand for model, but that doesn’t mean i’m plain. if all you see is how i look, you miss the superchick within. some people see the revolution but most only see the girl. i can lose my hard earned freedom if my fear defines my world. i declare my independence from the critics and their stones. i can find my revolution i can learn to stand alone. i’ll be everything that i want to be, i am confidence in insecurity. i am a voice yet waiting to be heard. i’ll shoot the shot, bang, that you hear round the world. and i’m a one girl revolution. )

04. WINGS de little mix ( don’t let what they say keep you up at night, and if they give you shhhh… then they can walk on by. my feet, feet can’t touch the ground and i can’t hear a sound, but you just keep on running up your mouth yeah. walk, walk on over there, ‘cause i’m too fly to care, oh yeah. your words don’t mean a thing, i’m not listening, keep talking. don’t let what they say keep you up at night, and they can’t detain you 'cause wings are made to fly. and we don’t let nobody bring us down. no matter what you say – it won’t hurt me. don’t matter if i fall from the sky, these wings are made to fly. )

05. NOBODY’S FOOL de avril lavigne ( fall back, take a look at me and you’ll see i’m for real. i feel what only i can feel and if that don’t appeal to you, let me know and i’ll go 'cause i flow better when my colors show. if you’re trying to turn me into someone else, its easy to see i’m not down with that. i’m not nobody’s fool. if you’re trying to turn me into something else, i’ve seen enough and i’m over that. i’m not nobody’s fool. if you wanna bring me down, go ahead and try. )

06. MOST GIRLS de hailee steinfeld ( most girls are smart and strong and beautiful. most girls work hard, go far, we are unstoppable. most girls, our fight to make every day, no two are the same. i wanna be like, i wanna be like most girls. )

07. I EAT BOYS LIKE YOU FOR BREAKFAST de ida maria ( you came to my island, you stepped on my lawn. you pissed off the dog too, you won’t last 'til dawn. you insulted my mother, you crapped on my father, say your last prayers mister. i eat boys like you for breakfast, where’s my knife and fork now? )

08. I AM WOMAN de helen reddy ( i am woman, hear me roar, in numbers too big to ignore. and i know too much to go back and pretend, 'cause i’ve heard it all before. and i’ve been down there on the floor, no one’s ever going to keep me down again. yes, i am wise, but it’s wisdom born of pain. yes, i’ve paid the price, but look how much i gained. if i have to, i can do anything. i am strong, i am invincible, i am woman. you can bend but never break me, 'cause it only serves to make me more determined to achieve my final goal. and i’ll come back even stronger, not a novice any longer, 'cause you’ve deepened the conviction in my soul. )

09. WHO SAYS de selena gomez ( i’m sure you got some things you’d like to change about yourself, but when it comes to me i wouldn’t want to be anybody else. i’m no beauty queen, i’m just beautiful me. who says, who says you’re not perfect? who says you’re not worth it? who says you’re not pretty? who says you’re not beautiful? who says? who says you’re not star potential? who says you’re not presidential? who says you can’t be in movies? listen to me, listen to me. who says you don’t pass the test? who says you can’t be the best? who said, who said? would you tell me who said that? )

10. HERE I AM de carly patterson ( looking back, where i’m from, can’t believe that i’m here. gave my all, payed the price, and i do it again. i’ve walked alone, in my head, i’ve cried in my bed. but the morning lights, oh so bright, wake me again. it’s about faith and it’s about fate, it’s about risking it all everyday. it’s about holding when you wanna let go. it’s just believing in all that you know. here i am now, standing on the edge, everything i know coming together. all my life i’ve seen it in my dreams, waiting for the day i’m just a second away. break it down, in my head, i can see it so clear. i work it out in my heart, i see it appear. the world it so beautiful from the view up here. it’s about reaching when there’s nothing inside. it’s about breathing when all is too much. it’s about standing when you wanna give up. everything is disappearing, standing up here alone. and i feel like i’m standing forever, this is where i belong. )

11.TOMORROW de avril lavigne ( and i wanna believe you when you tell me that it’ll be ok. yeah, i try to believe you, but i don’t when you say that it’s gonna be, it always turns out to be a different way. i try to believe you, not today. i don’t know how i’ll feel tomorrow. i don’t know what to say, tomorrow is a different day. tomorrow it may change. )

12. PERFECT TO ME de anne-marie ( don’t feel like putting makeup on my cheeks, do what i wanna. love every single part of my body, top to the bottom. i’m not a supermodel from a magazine, i’m okay with not being perfect, 'cause that’s perfect to me. no matter where i go, everybody stares at me. not into fancy clothes, i’m rocking baggy jeans. getting too close for comfort, but comfort is what i need, so i eat my body weight in chocolate and ice cream. maybe i bite my nails and don’t think before i speak, don’t fit in any crowd, don’t ever get much sleep, i wish my legs were bigger, bigger than new york city, and i’ll love who i want to love, 'cause this love is gender free. sometimes i wake up late and don’t even brush my teeth. just wanna stuff my face with leftover mac and cheese. you know i get depressed, are you impressed with my honesty? so i wear what i wanna 'cause i’m cool with what’s underneath. )

13. SISTERS ARE DOIN’ IT FOR THEMSELVES de eurythmics( now there was a time when they used to say that behind every “great man”, there had to be a “great woman”. but in these times of change you know that it’s no longer true. so we’re comin’ out of the kitchen 'cause there’s somethin’ we forgot to say to you. sisters are doin’ it for themselves, standin’ on their own two feet and ringin’ on their own bells. now this is a song to celebrate the conscious liberation of the female state. mothers, daughters and their daughters too. woman to woman, we’re singin’ with you. the “inferior sex” got a new exterior. we got doctors, lawyers, politicians too. everybody, take a look around, can you see there’s a woman right next to you. )

14. WOMAN’S WORLD de little mix ( if you never been told how you gotta be, what you gotta wear, how you gotta speak, if you never shouted to be heard, you ain’t lived in a woman’s world. and if you can’t see that it’s gotta change, only want the body but not the brains, if you think that’s the way it works, you ain’t lived in a woman’s world. no, no (try livin’, try try livin’), oh, no (try livin’, try try livin’), oh (in a woman’s world), try livin’ in a woman’s world. just look at how far that we’ve got and don’t think that we’ll ever stop. know that there will be a day when everyone’s treated the same, it’s the only way it’s got to be. )

15. MEN EXPLAIN THINGS TO ME de tacocat ( i already know how this is gonna go. tell me to calm down, tell me to calm down again. don’t tell me what to do, my feelings won’t subdue just because you told them to. you’re a cliché, useless in every way. this land is your land in the palm of your hand, i’ll walk around so you can stand. you’re in my way, everyday. we get it dude, we’ve already heard enough from you, the turning point is overdue. )

16. FLY de hilary duff ( in a moment, everything can change, feel the wind on your shoulder. for a minute, all the world can wait, let go of your yesterday. all your worries, leave them somewhere else, find a dream you can follow. reach for something, when there’s nothing left, and the world’s feeling hollow. can you hear it calling? can you feel it in your soul? can you trust this longing? and take control. fly, open up the part of you that wants to hide away. you can shine, forget about the reasons why you can’t in life, and start to try, 'cause it’s your time, time to fly. and when you’re down and feel alone, just want to run away, trust yourself and don’t give up, you know you better than anyone else. )

17. NEVER GIVE UP de sia ( and i won’t let you get me down. i’ll keep gettin’ up when i hit the ground. oh, never give up, no, never give up no, no, oh. )

18. HOW DOES IT FEEL de avril lavigne ( i’m not afraid of anything, i just need to know that i can breathe. and i don’t need much of anything but suddenly, suddenly. i am small and the world is big, all around me is fast moving. surrounded by so many things, suddenly, suddenly. how does it feel to be different from me? are we the same? i’m young, and i am free, but i get tired, and i get weak. i get lost, and i can’t sleep. i am small and the world is big, but i’m not afraid of anything. )

19. DEATH de white lies( i love the feeling when we lift off, watching the world so small below. i love the dreaming when i think of the safety in the clouds out my window. the sky’s set out like a pathway, but who decides which route we take. as people drift into a dreamworld, i close my eyes as my hands shake. and when i see a new day, who’s driving this anyway. i picture my own grave, 'cause fear’s got a hold on me. floating neither up or down, i wonder when i’ll hit the ground. )

20. DOWN de jason walker ( i shot for the sky, i’m stuck on the ground, so why do i try? i know i’m gonna fall down. i thought i could fly, so why did i drown? i never know why it’s coming down. )

21. PART OF ME de katy perry( you took my light, you drained me down, but that was then and this is now, now look at me. this is the part of me that you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no. throw your sticks and your stones, throw your bombs and your blows, but you’re not gonna break my soul. )

22. RISE UP de andra day ( and you can’t find the fighter, but i see it in you. so we gonna walk it out, move mountains. and i’ll rise up, i’ll rise like the day. i’ll rise up, i’ll rise unafraid. i’ll rise up, and i’ll do it a thousand times again. and i’ll rise up, high like the waves. i’ll rise up in spite of the ache )

23. FIGHT SONG de rachel platten ( this is my fight song, take back my life song, prove i’m alright song. my power’s turned on, starting right now i’ll be strong, i’ll play my fight song. and i don’t really care if nobody else believes, 'cause i’ve still got a lot of fight left in me. like a small boat on the ocean, sending big waves into motion. like how a single word can make a heart open. i might only have one match, but i can make an explosion. )

24. BREAKAWAY de kelly clarkson( trying hard to reach out, but when i tried to speak out felt like no one could hear me. wanted to belong here, but something felt so wrong here, so i prayed i could break away. i’ll spread my wings and i’ll learn how to fly, i’ll do what it takes 'til i touch the sky. and i’ll make a wish, take a chance, make a change and breakaway. buildings with a hundred floors, swinging 'round revolving door,  maybe i don’t know where they’ll take me but gotta keep moving on, moving on, fly away, breakaway. out of the darkness and into the sun, but i won’t forget the place i come from. i gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway. )

25. FREAK OUT de avril lavigne ( try to tell me what i shouldn’t do, you should know by now i won’t listen to you. walk around with my hands up in the air, 'cause i don’t care. you don’t always have to do everything right, stand up for yourself and put up a fight. just let me live my life, i can’t ever run and hide. i won’t compromise, 'cause i’ll never know. )

26. RUN THE WORLD (GIRLS) de beyoncé ( some of them men think, they freak this like we do. but no, they don’t, make your check come at their neck. disrespect us? no, they won’t.  this goes out to all the women getting it in, you’re on your grind. to other men that respect what i do, please accept my shine. boy i know you love it, how we’re smart enough to make these millions, strong enough to bear the children then get back to business. see, you better not play me. who are we? what we run? the world. who run the world? girls. )

BONUS. MISS INDEPENDENT de kelly clarkson( miss independent, miss self-sufficient, miss keep-your-distance. miss unafraid, miss out-of-my-way, miss don’t-let-a-man-interfere, no. miss on-her-own, miss almost-grown, miss never-let-a-man-help-her-off-her-throne. so, by keeping her heart protected, she’d never ever feel rejected. little miss apprehensive, said ooh, she fell in love. what is the feelin’ takin’ over? thinkin’ no one could open my door. surprise, it’s time to feel what’s real. what happened to miss independent? no longer need to be defensive. goodbye, old you, when love is true. misguided heart, miss play-it-smart, miss if-you-want-to-use-that-line-you-better-not-start, no. but she miscalculated, she didn’t want to end up jaded, and this miss decided not to miss out on true love. so, by changing her misconceptions, she went in a new direction and found inside she felt a connection, she fell in love. when miss independence walked away, no time for love that came her way. she looked in the mirror and thought today, what happened to miss no-longer-afraid? it took some time for her to see how beautiful love could truly be. no more talk of why can’t that be me, i’m so glad i finally see. )

*Baila tap* Que onda, it’s the me again 8). Siento que ya me había tocado Lucy antes, creo que sí, y aunque estuve tentada a hacer algo Dancy, pensé que esta vez me enfocaría en Lucy. Así que me puse a hacerle un mix y casi pongo toda la discografía de Avril Lavigne, pero me detuve AHAHAHAHA. Originalmente la portada iba a ser otra pero busqué por mar y tierra la foto que quería y nunca la encontré, así que dije: bueno, yolito; ese dibujo siempre me ha recordado a Lucy, así que espero que la portada simple te guste <33. Quise abarcar desde su feminismo, pasando por como la gente no la aceptó por quien era y por sus orígenes muggles, cruzando por su temor en la guerra y tocando un poco de Dancy (he ahí el bonus track, que obvio es un clásico de Lucy 8D). Algo en lo que me fijé fue en el tema de volar, puedes notar que varias canciones remiten al gusto de Lucy por volar, como se siente mejor arriba en las nubes, como se siente libre ahí, además de lo mucho que ha luchado por lo que quiere. Fue un tema que honestamente me gustó mucho tratar. No negaré que fue difícil hacerlo y me tomó un poco más de tiempo que el resto de mis regalos, pero al final junté muchas cancioncitas que me parece quedan re bien con Lucy.

Espero te guste mucho este mix, que creo también quedará mucho contigo, ahí te robas unas rolas para ti :*, okay no. Ahhhh, me alegra mucho que me hayas tocado. Te amo mucho, sé que siempre te lo digo pero te amo mucho, eres un enorme apoyo en mi vida y te he podido contar cosas que a nadie más, y aún así, sorpresivamente, me ves como una hermosa persona, lo cual no entiendo, pero agradezco. Gracias por ser mi partner in crime, por siempre escucharme cuando me siento mal, por estar de mi lado y defenderme, por permitirme verme claramente cuando siento que soy un asco. Sé que muchas veces chocamos, otras veces peleamos, pero me alegro que siempre nos arreglemos porque eres parte fundamental de mi vida, y si no hablara con Joa y contigo diario sería muy extraño. Muchas gracias por ayudarme a mantener este roleplay que tanto queremos con vida, por darme ships bonitas, plots bonitos, decir que mis personajes son cool, levantarme el ánimo cuando alguien me dice algo feo, darme cachetadas cuando lo necesito, y recordarme que no todo es tan horrible. Eres mi pequeña roca y te amo mucho. Muchas gracias por todo, Ale, no sé quien sería hoy sin ti (y sin Joa). Eres muy importante para mí. Disfruta de este pequeño regalo, I luv u. Feliz Navidad y año nuevo, que este año sea hermoso para ti, porque mereces todo lo bonito en esta vida. Me emociona poder vivir otro año contigo a mi lado.

╰  ❄  feliz navidad y año nuevo, lucy.

Bueno, yo soy tu Santa Secreto, viva. 

No sé porque aún participo en esto, creo que es por influencia de mis amigas, en fin. Soy mala regalando, así que no esperes lo mejor, ya me conoces. 

Pensé que ahora que decidas irte de viaje con Danny, quizá esta cámara te ayude a capturar los momentos más bonitos… Remus suele traer la suya y cuando fuimos de viaje a California, tomó muchas fotos… Creo que es una forma bonita de recordar las cosas… Que sentimental me escuché, ugh, pero es la verdad. Espero te sirva.

Este brazalete de snitch está encantado para que puedas soltarlo y que la snitch se vaya volando. No te lo recomiendo porque tardé unas dos horas en encontrarla en mi cuarto con ayuda de Marlene, pero quizá a ti te cueste un minuto con lo buena que eres. Ser buscadora nunca fue mi fuerte, obvio.

Y esta es una edición especial de la Historia del Quidditch, con ilustraciones, diagramas e información extra. Sé que está pesada pero pensé que te gustaría. Son muchas páginas, disfrútalas.

Uh… Feliz Navidad. Sé feliz. Mándale saludos a Danny de mi parte.

Con cariño,

╰ ♡  feliz san valentín, golden !

— Yo he besado a mis amigas —encogió los hombros, dejando a un lado la actitud poco amable que había tomado momentos antes. Doe se retiró de debajo del muérdago, asqueada por la estúpida planta—. Sí, tampoco mi novio… Sería extraño —coincidió con la rubia aproximándose a su persona—. Ahora sí. Hola —saludó, alzando las manos a modo de acentuar su presencia con una sonrisa.

Sonrió de inmediato, su preocupación pasando a un segundo plano al comprobar que la rubia se encontraba bien. O eso parecía. “¿Necesitas ayuda?” Preguntó después, ofreciendo una mano por si no podía levantarse sola.

Lily no podía dejar de reír mientras observaba a Lucy —Oh vamos es divertido Lucy— expresó aun entre risas hasta que recibió el impacto de la bola por lo que no tardó en tomar una pequeña cantidad de nieve y lanzarla contra la chica.

“¿De verdad lo crees?” colocó un dedo bajo su barbilla, todavía sin dejar de observar la criatura inanimada que había creado. “Bueno, pero ahora que te hice detener, ¿por qué no intentas hacer uno tú?” propuso, con una sonrisa. En su opinión, podría ser más divertido de lo que creían.

Con la Navidad cerca, venían las costumbres estúpidas, como el muérdago. Pensó que se salvaría de él al estar al aire libre, sin embargo las personas no perdían la oportunidad de molestar a otros colgando aquella ramita en el aire. Dorcas no se había dado cuenta hasta que elevó la mirada y se topó con la misma. Al percibir otra presencia cercana, advirtió: — Ni lo pienses —pronunció con firmeza.

-¿Sabes que es mejor que el chocolate caliente?Patinar sobre el hielo.

“Eso ha debido de doler.” Musitó, acercándose hasta la víctima de aquella caída en la pista de patinaje. “¿Te encuentras bien?”

Ladeó la cabeza primero hacia el lado izquierdo, luego al derecho, ojos posados en el muñeco de nieve que acaba de terminar, sin embargo, éste no le convencía del todo. “Le falta algo, pero no sé exactamente qué.” habló, entrecerrando los ojos. “¿Tú que dices?” preguntó a la persona que iba pasando por ahí cerca. Necesitaba una opinión.

La pelirroja se encontraba con una pequeña bola de nieve en las manos y una sonrisa divertida en su rostro esperando por una victima cuando un rostro conocido se cruzo en su camino —Guerra de nieve— exclamó bastante animada para después lanzar la bola de nieve.
