A/N: I know I haven't been updating my stories, but I was hearing the song and got inspired!
I Hate Everything About You
"Students!" called the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. "I have marvelous new for you!" everyone started to whisper excitedly. "We are to have a Triwizard Talent Show for the very first time! Details on how and when to enter will be posted in the commons rooms right…now!"
Everyone scampered to get to their feet and ran back to their common rooms. The bulletin read as thus:
Triwizard Talent Show
Will be held on Halloween night in the Great Hall
8:00 p.m.
Auditions will be held on October 1 in the Great Hall
COME PREPARED!
The only topic on anyone's mind for another two weeks was the Talent Show. They would pick about 10 students and them name 3 the winners.
Hermione thought the entire thing was absurd and Harry and Ron agreed with her.
Draco Malfoy and his cronies were thinking along the same lines.
"Watch it, Mudblood!" he said when they bumped into each other one day.
"Watch who you're bumping into, Malfoy!" she retorted.
"Hey, Draco, I have a bet for you." Said Blaise Zabini in a loud voice. Loud enough for the Golden Trio to hear and get interested.
"What did you have in mind?" Draco asked him.
"Well, suppose Granger gets into the Show," he told his best mate. "I bet you 200 Galleons that she will beat you."
Draco chuckled. "I'll take that bet. I know she's too weak to even try to enter." They walked away laughing.
Almost at once, Harry and Ron turned to her and told her to enter and win just to show him up.
"But I don't even have a talent!" she shrieked.
"Yes, you do." Harry said. "You can sing. I've heard you in the common room at night."
"You heard me?" she asked him. When she couldn't sleep, she would take her iPod and sing by herself.
"You're very good. You can beat him." Harry reassured her.
"I hope you're right, Harry." She said as she signed her name on the parchment for the auditions.
For the next two weeks, she did nothing but practice and she landed a spot in the Show by singing Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway.
Draco had also landed the audition, but with the vocals of a fabulous Chester Bennington of Linkin Park. He performed the song "Numb."
Hermione was the 5th one and Draco was the 6th. They were back to back in the Show.
When Halloween came around, the entire Hall was filled with the usual decorations. They had asked the performers to wear costumes in honor of the holiday.
Lavender Brown performed a belly dancing routine to die for. Ginny Weasley had done a couple of Gymnastics tricks to a classical song.
Luna and Michael from Ravenclaw did a duet to Phantom of the Opera. One form Hufflepuff did a good hp-hop dance to Rhianna's S.O.S.
Then came Hermione. She was wearing a beautiful floor length black dress with black gloves and was on a piano. As she started to play, she started to song.
Don't
cry to me Should I let you
fall Don't cry to me Couldn't take the blame Don't cry to me You never call me when you're sober How could I have burned
paradise? So don't cry
to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
You
want me
Confine me
Make up your mind
Lose it all
So maybe you can remember yourself
Can't
keep believing
We're only deceiving ourselves
And I'm sick of
the lie
And you're too late
If you
loved me
You would be here with me
You want me
Confine me
Make up your mind
Sick with
shame
Must be exhausting to lose your own game
Selfishly
hated
No wonder you're jaded
You can't play the victim this
time
And you're too late
If you loved
me
You would be here with me
You want me
Confine me
Make
up your mind
You only
want it cause it's over
It's over
How could I? You were never mine!
If you loved me
You would be here with me
Don't lie
to me
Just get your things
I've made up your mind
Hermione bowed out gracefully and received a standing ovation from the audience. She was looking at Draco out in the audience the entire time.
During the intermission, Draco gathered what he needed: his band to back him up.
Draco had appeared on stage with a Muggle shirt and ripped jeans with chains. He was holding his guitar and after he played a few notes, he started to sing.
Every
time we lie awake Every roommate kept
awake Only when I stop to
think about it I hate everything about you Every
time we lie awake Only when I stop to
think about it I hate everything about you Only
when I stop to think I hate everything about you I hate I hate
everything about you
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I
get
But I haven't missed you yet
By every sigh and scream we make
All the feelings that I
get
But I still don't miss you yet
Why do I love
you
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I
get
But I haven't missed you yet
Why do I love
you
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
About you, I know
Only when you stop to
think
About me, do you know
Why
do I love you
You hate everything about me
Why do you love
me
You hate
I hate
You love me
Why do I love you
Draco looked at Hermione the entire time as he was playing the song and when he went backstage, Hermione went after him.
"Did you deliberately sing that song to annoy me!" Hermione yelled at Draco.
"Maybe." Was his only answer. After some silence, for she had nothing to say after this, they were asking all the participants to come back to the stage.
"In third place," called Dumbledore to the students. "Ginevra Weasley and her gymnastics!" everyone clapped.
"In second place," he called after the applause died down. "Lavender Brown and her belly dancing!"
"In first place," everyone held their breaths because there were two in mind. "A tie between Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger!"
They both bowed down to the audience and performed one last song.
how
can you see into my eyes like open doors (Wake me up) now that I know what I'm without (Wake me up) Bring me to life frozen inside
without your touch without your love darling only you are the life
among the dead all this time I can't believe I couldn't
see (Wake me up) (Bring me to life)
leading you down into my
core
where I've become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping
somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back
home
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake
up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me
from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can't
wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the
nothing I've become
you
can't just leave me
breathe into me and make me real
bring me
to life
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake
up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me
from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can't
wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the
nothing I've become
(I've been living a
lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life
kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've
been sleeping a thousand years it seems
got to open my eyes to
everything
without a thought without a voice without a soul
don't
let me die here
there must be something more
bring me to
life
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake
up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me
from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can't
wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the
nothing I've become
I've been living
a lie, there's nothing inside
(Bring me to life)
As they were singing they could do nothing but stare at each other. Not in hate, but in something more. When they had finished the song, they received another standing ovation and went backstage.
"Hermione," Draco called to her. "I've been wanting to tell you this for awhile but I could never find the courage."
"What are you trying to say, Draco?" she asked nervous of the answer.
"I hate everything about you. Why do I love you?" he sang to her.
"All I have to say to you is this: Don't cry to me. If you loved me. You would be here with me. You want me. Confine me. Make up your mind." She sang back.
They looked at each other and sang one last song together. "Love me, that's all I ask of you."
They embraced and kissed softly, proclaiming their feelings in front of the entire school. The curtains had opened right before Draco started singing.
Some people were too stunned to speak, but others were happy for them.
Harry and Ron were shocked and Blaise was laughing to himself. Draco had won their other bet: that he would ask Hermione out before the year ended.
They smiled to each other, then to the audience and bowed out once more before seeking a more private place to talk…..
THE END
