Instead of Quidditch Harry, Ron, Draco, and Viktor all play soccer (football) Ron is a goalie, Harry is a midfielder, Draco is a Deep-lying Forward, and Viktor is a fullback. FYI: Unless someone wants to write them for me there will be no scenes in which you see this because I can write about one sport and that swimming which doesn't help me here. I considered making them swimmers but I only knew that Ron would be a sprinter and Harry would be a long-distance swimmer.
Hermione and her roommates are in a band which their name is Second Time Around. Hermione is the lead singer (only b/c it's so much funnier that way), Leigh is the lead bassist, Laura is the lead guitarist, and Carla is the drummer. This fic will feature songs by the Bands/singer's Paramore, Linkin Park, Sick Puppies, and Bowling For Soup.
Wow that's a really long intro but there is a lot of information to cover. I have a feeling just to post that as the first chapter but I won't. I'm starting differently this time I'm gonna start at the end and then go to a flashback!
NOW ON TO THE STORY!
April 21st. . . . . .
19 year old Hermione Granger stood in front of a cheering crowd. She was wearing a dark blue striped v-necked tee-shirt over a white long sleeved shirt. A pair of dark blue jeans went out over her legs and hid most of her pink hi-tops. Her bushy brown hair was gathered at the back of her head and flared out from there. Her brown eyes were scanning the crowd looking for one person, Harry Potter. She found him near the back and gave him a smile. She didn't notice the man behind him.
"Okay Everyone!" she said, "It's our last song and we've chosen to play a song we wrote while ago but have never sung for a crowd before. It's called Misery Business!"
I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the top
She's got a body like an hourglass it's ticking like a clock
It's a matter of time before we all run out...
When I thought he was mine, she caught him by the mouth
I waited eight long months
She finally set him free
I told him I couldn't lie, he was the only one for me
Two weeks we had caught on fire
She's got it out for me, but I wear the biggest smile
Whoa...well I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa... it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God does it feels so good
'Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good
Second chances they don't never matter, people never change
Once a whore, you're nothing more, I'm sorry that'll never change
And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged
I'm sorry honey, but I passed up, now look this way!
Right then Hermione pointed at a girl in the crowd. She had fire-red hair and lavender colored eyes. She was wearing a yellow shirt and blue jean capri's.
Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you
Looking as innocent as possible to get to who
They want it what they like, it's easy if you do it right
Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse!
Whoa...well I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa... it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God does it feels so good
'Cause I got him where I want him right now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good ...
I watched his wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving you
Just watch my wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving ...
Whoa, well I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now ...
Whoa, well I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa... it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God does it feels so good
'Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good
As she sang the last notes the whole crowd started screaming for them. The girls rushed off and ran backstage. Once there Hermione found herself caught up in a hug with Harry.
"You were amazing." He whispered his breath tickling her ear.
"It's mainly thanks to you." She replied placing a small kiss on his cheek, "Most of the songs were written after. . . . . what happened."
After smiling at this comment he claimed her lips in what was supposed to be a chaste kiss but quickly turned passionate.
"Hermione?" asked Leigh Markham, "You might want to stop macking on your boy for a moment and see who he brought with him."
"Hmm?" asked Hermione dazed.
She turned around, and standing there was the James Potter, owner of Deathly Hallows Records and Harry's father. He was smiling.
"Mr. Potter!" she exclaimed, "What are you doing here?"
"My son asked me to come and see a new band that he thought I would like to sign. To make a long story short, I arrive and discover that this amazing band is none other than Second Time Around, the same band that I came to see at the winter concert that played horribly."
"That wasn't their fault dad," said Harry, "It was Maria's. She has a grudge against the girls and Hermione in general. She didn't want them to become famous. That problem has been taken care of."
"Well from what I saw tonight, you girls are excellent performers and song writers and Deathly Hallows would love to have you. Should I send your lawyer a copy of the contract to look over?"
"Yes." Said Carla speaking for the whole group.
"Alright then. I have a few questions for you girls so why don't we find a place a bit more comfortable to talk."
The group headed out to their building and took over the lounge downstairs. They shut and locked the door and all took a seat. Leigh, Carla, and Laura took a couch, James Potter took a chair, and Harry and Hermione shared another chair.
"That last song you did was amazing. When was it written?"
"Leigh wrote it years ago, when we first started up. We never put music or anything to it because we liked it but we didn't know if it was any good. After the whole pre-final's thing I went to Leigh's house during break. We pulled it out and started messing around with it and we came up with music for it. It just seemed to fit what had just happened."
"I know the basics of what happened this year but could I hear the whole story?" asked James Potter genuinely interested in what had happened to this band and its members.
"Well really, sir," said Laura, "The telling falls to Hermione. It really all revolves around her. We're just minor parts in the whole story."
"Miss Granger?"
Hermione took a deep breath and looked at Harry.
"Whatever you want to do." He said already knowing what she was going to ask.
She smiled at him and turned back to his father.
"Well," she said, "It all started after we had all moved in. . . . . "
