The Story:
"Heyyyyyy... Ya know what? Let's watch Muggle television!" Harry Potter suggested to the ten remaining students at Hogwarts during winter break.
"I don't wanna watch some mudblood television! What the heck is television!" Draco Malfoy hissed.
"It's a box you can watch pictures in, stupid," Hermione Granger scowled at the humanoid ferret.
"Go Hermione!" Ron Weasley cheered. "Woo hoo!"
Everyone stared at him.
"Er... Never mind," he blushed.
"Muggiest!" Hermione chanted, and a television appeared in front of the students. Several students have never ever seen a T.V in their whole life, so they looked at it in awe.
Ron picked up the remote. Knowing how to work it (since Harry taught him), he picked it up and flipped the channels.
Sigh. Lazy Town. Spongebob Squarepants. Zoey 101. Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide and-
"DORA THE EXPLORER!" Draco squealed with delight. Everyone stared at him. "What? You're looking at me as if I like this Muggle trash!" Everyone shrugged as Ron continued to flip channels.
Survivor. Madagascar (on the movie channel). An interview with J.K Rowling. And FINALLY...
"AMERICAN IDOL!" Hermione squealed with delight. Every person in the room stared at her as if she were a picture by Picasso.
"Whatchamacallit!" Ron yelled.
"Ah-mere-ee-ken Eye-doll!" Hermione pronounced it slowly.
"Oh. Okay. What the heck is it!" Ron yelled again.
"It's a singing contest. Contestants have to face three strange judges, Paula, Simon, and Randy. Paula's the pretty and kind one, Randy's the -what the Americans say- 'Wassup, Dawg!' person, and Simon's the bitter and nasty one. He always makes snide comments!"
"Just like me!" Draco smiled.
"Ah. I've GOT AN IDEA!" Harry exclaimed. "Let's have our own contest!"
"That's a great idea! We just need judges!" Hermione said, and said, "Accio, judges!" And you can guess who zoomed in.
Tonks.
Snape.
Lockhart. ("THE HORROR!" Harry yelled)
"Hey, whattarwe doing here!" Tonks exclaimed, looking around.
"This is quite odd," Lockhart laughed feebly.
"Disgusting students," Snape muttered.
"HEY! Whaddaya doing here!" Ron exclaimed, hissing and pointing at Snape, who was muttering incoherently under his breath.
"Hey! You called Judges for your show, and suddenly we came! We'll be your Paula, Simon, and Randy!" Tonks exclaimed happily.
"Yes, yippee," Snape said sarcastically.
"Well, this is a delightful time! Autographs, anyone?" Lockhart said merrily.
"No," all the students said automatically.
Lockhart's smile slipped off his pretty-boy face.
"Hey everyone! Who's going to be that hottie Ryan Seacrest!" Hermione squealed. Harry, Draco, Ron, and Cedric Diggory gaped at her.
"He's the host, dumb-nuts!"
All the girls pointed at Cedric. Since there were more girls than boys, the vote was unanimous.
"Cedric! WE LOVE YOU!" The girls exclaimed. Hermione and Ginny scowled.
"Well, when are we getting started?" Ron asked. Hermione grinned.
"Now that we've got the host and the three judges, let's create the stage!" With a flick of her wand, a blue stage appeared, and Hermione looked at it proudly.
"MAKE IT AT THE GREAT HALL!" Harry and Ron yelled. Hermione transported it to the Great Hall, and everyone rushed down to see it.
"Wow!" Parvati Patil piped up. There was a microphone set right in the middle, and there was a heightened table for the judges to sit at. Tonks, Snape, and Lockhart took their seats, and Cedric took stage.
"Now everyone, run to the songbook and choose a song!" Hermione said, and a stampede erupted to get to the songbook.
"What do you think of 4-Ever?" Ginny suggested.
"That song isn't too good for you," Harry grinned. "For me, how's 'bout Because you Live?"
"Perfect, Harry," Ginny looked at him in awe.
"Hey, HP! LOOK AT THIS ONE! It's entitled Almost by Bowling for Soup!" Ron laughed. "What a weird name!"
"I heard that song before; it's great!" Hermione spoke. As Ron smiled a handsome smile, Hermione blushed.
"I've got one! Beat of my Heart!" Ginny squealed.
"PERFECTO!" Harry exclaimed, and gave her a hug. As they parted, they blushed furiously.
"Everyone ready?" Hermione called.
"YES! IT'S TIME FOR... HOGWARTS IDOL!" Cedric boomed into the microphone. All the contestants nearly strangled each other to get backstage.
"Time to create the aura!" Hermione whispered. "Accio, Audience!" A group of people burst into the Hall and piled into the seats, carrying signs that said things like, 'I LOVE YOU HARRY!' or 'YOU'RE HOT, RON!' or 'GO GINNY!' or 'HERMIONE BEATS ALL!' Hermione blushed at the signs. She went backstage and got dressed in her dressing room.
Minutes later...
"WELCOME TO... HOGWARTS IDOL!" Cedric exclaimed, making the audience cheer like mad. "Let me introduce our judges... SEVERUS SNAPE!"
"BOOO! HISS!" the crowd raved.
"NEXT UP, THE VIVACIOUS TONKS!"
"YYYYYYEEEEEEAAAAHHHHH!"
"AND FINALLY... GILDEROY LOCKHART!"
complete silence
"Alright. You all know the dealio! Several Hogwarts students have signed up to be a part of Hogwarts Idol. First up is... RONALD WEASLEY FROM GRYFFINDOR!"
Ron nervously trooped up on the stage, took the microphone, and the music played...
I almost got drunk at school at 14
Where I almost made out with the homecoming queen
Who almost went on to be miss Texas
But lost to a girl who sews her own dresses
I almost dropped out to move to LA
Where I was almost famous for almost a day
And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost loved you
I almost wished u would've loved me too
I almost worked atgrocery store
Where I almost did 5 years of sweeping the floor
Cuz I almost got fired because of my shame
Cuz a guy ran off with my video game
That I almost got hooked on cuz you ran away
And I wish I woulda had the nerve to ask you to stay
And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost had you
And I didn't even know it
You kept me guessing and now I guess that
I spent my time missing you
I almost wish you would've loved me too
Here I go thinking about all the things I could've done
I'm gonna need a forklift cuz all the baggage weighs a ton
I know we've had our problems I can't remember one
I almost forgot to say something else
And if I cant fit it in I'll keep it all to myself
I almost wrote a song about you today
But I tore it all open and I threw it away
And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost had you
And I didn't even know it
You kept me guessing and now I guess that
I spent my time missing you
And I almost had you
I almost wish you would've loved me too (Ron looked backstage at Hermione, and the Daily Prophet Video camera caught her on screen...)
Ron finished with a bang. Everybody in the crowd cheered and stomped. The girls waving signs saying 'You're Hot, RON!' beamed and stood up, nearly strangling each other to climb up on the stage and snog him, but luckily, security guards (Crabbe & Goyle) stopped the crowd. Ron ran backstage, and...
You'll find out later.
"WOW! That was great Ron! That was Ronald Weasley singing Almost by Bowling for soup!" Cedric boomed happily. He was laughing. Suddenly, he got kind of serious... "UP NEXT IS... GINNY WEASLEY!"
All the boys cheered waving their signs saying 'GINNY! YOU'RE MINE!' Ginny laughed as she trooped on stage.
To the beat of my
To the beat of my
To the beat of my heart
I'm thinking about,
Letting it out,
I wanna give in,
I wanna go out,
But looking around,
I finally found,
The rhythm of love,
The feeling of sound,
It's making a change,
The feeling is strange,
Its coming right back,
right back in my range,
Not worried about,
anything else,
I'm waking up,
To the beat of my,
To the beat of my,
To the beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart,
It tears us apart,
The beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart,
Now I'm back to the start,
To the beat of my,
To the beat of my,
To the beat of my heart,
I'm up from my down,
I turn it around,
But making it back,
I'm not gonna drown,
I'm taking a stance,
I won't miss a chance,
I want you to see,
I'm not scared to dance,
The way that you feel,
Could never be real,
I want you know I finished the deal,
So I'm sayin to you,
I'll always be true,
To the rhythm inside,
To the beat of my,
To the beat of my,
To the beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart,
It tears us apart,
The beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart,
Now I'm back to the start,
To the beat of my,
To the beat of my,
To the beat of my heart,
Away Away,
Away Away,
Away Away,
Away Away,
Away Away,
Away Away,
To the beat of my,
To the beat of my heart,
Away Away,
Away Away,
To the beat of my,
To the beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart,
It tears us apart,
The beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart,
Now I'm back to the start
To the beat of my heart!
"GINNY! GINNY! GINNY!" The crowd cheered. The guys kept on wolf-whistling at her, screaming they loved her. Ginny grinned broadly, and ran to Harry's arms.
"You did great, Ginny!" Harry laughed happily.
"Lurves you, Harry!" Ginny said, and kissed him on the cheek.
Cedric came back on stage and laughed hard. He'd never ever heard great singers. He picked up his microphone, laughed again, pointed up at the screen at the pictures of the people who had just sung. "THAT, my friends, was GINNY WEASLEY!" Cedric exclaimed. The crowd howled even more. "Okay, up next is one of my good friends, the fourth champion, HARRY POTTER!"
Harry ran onstage, and tripped on Cedric's microphone wire, which made everyone howl with laughter. He blushed and smiled, and got up. He walked to the microphone, and began to sing.
Staring out at the rain with a heavy heart
It's the end of the world in my mind
Then your voice pulls me back
Like a wake-up call
I've been looking for the answer
Somewhere
I couldn't see that it was right there
But now I know, what I didn't know
Because you live and breathe because you make me believe in myself
When nobody else can help
Because you live girl ("He's looking at me!" Ginny squealed, nearly fainting)
My world...
Has twice as many stars in the sky
It's alright I survived I'm alive again
'cause of you made it through every storm
What is life, what's the use?
If you're killing time
I'm so glad I found an angel
Someone...
Who was there when all my hopes fell
I wanna fly looking in your eyes
Because you live and breathe because you make me believe in myself
When nobody else could help
Because you live girl
My world...
Has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live... I live
Because you live, there's a reason why
I carry on when I lose the fight
I want to give what you've given me
Always...
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself
When nobody else can help
Because you live girl
My world...
Has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself
When nobody else could help
Because you live girl
My world...
Has everything I need to survive
Because you live... I live I live
Harry was the best singer in the whole competition so far that day. The spectators, along with the judges (excluding Snape) and Cedric applauded enthusiastically until their hands were sore, and their voices were hoarse. "THAT, MY FRIENDS, WAS THE BOY WHO LIVED HIMSELF... HARRY POTTER!" Cedric started to dance like mad.
