An: I own nothing! Not the songs or Harry Potter! Those belong to the rightful owners, if I did own Harry then he would have been a girl but sadly no. I hope you enjoy! :) "Words" = Singing
*Harriet's Point of View*
I stood outside of the great hall at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I'm Harriet (Harry) Potter, I'm in my sixth year also in the house of Gryffindor. Dumbledore ,our Headmaster, decided that we would have karaoke night to promote house unity and to have more muggle ideas in Hogwarts. I sighed and entered dressed in my long sleeved Beatles shirt and ripped, patched jeans with my worn combat boots. Ron was currently up on the newly transfigured stage, singing "Someone to fall back on" by Jason Robert Brown, basicly the only muggle song he somewhat knew. I smiled knowing that he was singing it to Hermione, because I helped him prepare it.
When Ron finished he ran to Hermione kissing her deeply. I walked up to the stage passing Draco Malfoy, the stupid git that I hated and loved since 1st year. If Draco hadn't insulted my first friends then we would have been friends, maybe something more. I knew he was watching me as I walked past, flicking my black and blood red waist length hair over my shoulder. Once up on stage I set the microphone stand in the middle, no one knew I sang except Ron and Aunt Minnie (Professor McGongall). The beat started and I let the lyrics flow out.
"Yeah, yeah You pretend what you say you feel Paint it on, cover every inch
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
You pretend that you're something special
All your lies that you hide behind
I see right through you
See right through you
Any flaw will expose your weakness
I'm immune to your fantasy
I won't become you
Won't become you"
I mentally laughed at their faces, they were shocked that their 'savior' would sing a song like this. But this song described Draco and I perfectly. "You want a perfect So keep your dream with no consequence Take your pride, take your vanity
Perfect life
Nothing wrong, nothing real inside
All I see is a perfect lie
I don't want your perfect life
Yeah, yeah
I don't want your perfect life
Yeah, yeah
You'd damage me just to feed your senses
All you fake for reality
I see right through you
See right through you
Can't you see that your ego's empty
I will turn, I will walk away
I won't become you
Won't become you"
Draco's eyes met mine, his eyes were watery as I described through my song that we both hated the 'perfect life' that everyone thought we had. My relatives hated me and Draco's father hated him.
"You want a perfect My eyes are wide open You want a perfect
Perfect life
Nothing wrong, nothing real inside
All I see is a perfect lie
I don't want your perfect life
Yeah, yeah
I don't want your perfect life
Yeah, yeah
I don't want your perfect life
I see the enemy, the hypocrisy
Your cover is fading
Secrets pouring out, castles falling down
There's nothing to hide behind
I know who I am inside
I'm perfectly broken
Perfect life
Nothing wrong, nothing real inside
All I see is an empty lie
I don't want your perfect life
Yeah, yeah
I don't want your perfect life
Yeah, yeah
I don't want your perfect life
Yeah, yeah
I don't want your perfect life
The perfect life"
The song finished as I sang the last note, Draco's eyes left mine when the crowd broke out in cheers. Aunt Minnie clapped for me and Ron lead the crowd into an encore. I looked at Tonks, who was working the music, she nodded and I pushed up my sleeves. The criss-cross scars showing in the lights, the music started slowly and I sang my secerts out, but changing the 'she' and 'you' to 'I' to fit what I wanted to say.
"I STAND WITH A GUN IN YOUR HAND
STARING AT THE WALL
WITH A LOOK SO SAD AND
THINKING ABOUT , WHO REALLY CARES?
WILL THEY EVEN NOTICE IF I JUST
DISAPPEAR NOW?
ONE BANG! BLOODRUSH TO THE HEAD!
I'D RATHER FLY THROUGH THE SKY THAN WALK WITH THE DEAD SO
I STAY HIGH WHILE THE WORLD GOES BY
AND JUST ANOTHER DAY HERE
WAITING TO DIE"
I started crying along with the crowd as they understood why I don't like the whole 'savior' thing. I'm just me and right now I feel broken.
"LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL, SHARE A LITTLE LOVE WITH THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD
EVERY BOY & GIRL SING THIS ALONG WHEN WE SING Y OH, Y OH
SHE CRIES BUT HER MAN DENIES
ITS FUNNY HOW LOVE COMES WITH SO MANY LIES AND
HE SAID HE'D NEVER DO IT AGAIN
SO I PUT ON MY SMILE
AND I START TO PRETEND
I HIDE ALL THE PAIN INSIDE BY
FILLING UP MY ARMS WITH
PRETTY LITTLE LINES
I CUT WITH NO INTENT TO KILL
THIS TIME I DIDNT DO IT BUT SOME DAY I WILL"
My eyes met Draco's once more, he mouthed "we need to talk." I nodded my head but making it look like I was moving my head to the beat.
"LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL, SHARE A LITTLE LOVE WITH THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD
EVERY BOY & GIRL SING THIS SONG WHEN WE SING Y OH, Y OH
AND HEY! YOURE BEAUTIFUL
AND THERES ENOUGH LOVE FOR THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD
EVERY BOY & GIRL SING ALONG WHEN WE SING Y OH, Y OH
AND HEY! I KNOW YOU CAN FIND THE WAY
YOURE BEAUTIFUL TO ME!
NO MATTER WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY
ITS ALL GONNA BE OK
YOURE BEAUTIFUL TO ME
TOO WEAK TOO WEARY TO TRY
TOO ANGRY INSIDE, WELL SO AM I
IM ALL ALONE WITH NOBODY ELSE
SO IN NEED OF HELP, I KEEP REMINDING MYSELF THAT"
I smiled slightly as the crowd sang part of the refrain.
"LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL, SHARE A LITTLE LOVE WITH THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD
EVERY BOY & GIRL SING THIS SONG WHEN WE SING Y OH, Y OH"
I finished the song by myself but I saw Draco finish it with me.
"AND HEY! YOURE BEAUTIFUL
AND THERES ENOUGH LOVE FOR THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD
EVERY BOY & GIRL SING ALONG WHEN WE SING Y OH, Y OH
AND HEY! I KNOW THAT YOU CAN
FIND THE WAY
YOURE BEAUTIFUL TO M..E!
YOUR BEAUTIFUL, YOUR BEAUTIFUL
NO MATTER WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY
ITS ALL GONNA BE O..K
YOURE BEAUTIFUL TO ME
YOUR BEAUTIFUL, YOUR BEAUTIFUL
ITS ALL GONNA END SOME DAY
ITS ALL GONNA FADE A..WAY
YOURE BEAUTIFUL TO ME! (BEAUTIFUL TO ME)
YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL TO ME (BEAUTIFUL TO ME)
YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL TO ME"
When the tune ended I left the stage through the back and headed to the Astronomy Tower. Once I reached the tower I broke down crying, seeing the pity looks was something I didn't want to see. Aunt Minnie was helping as much as she could but Dumbledore always said that I needed to stay with the Dursleys' for a month at least. 'Ha Dumbledore doesn't know what a month with my relatives can cause.' I wiped my tears and walked to the railing, breathing in the fresh air. Once I heard Draco's footsteps on the stairs, I turned around smiling slyly, tears still going down my cheeks.
"You said that we needed to talk, why? You never bothered before why now, is it because you reailzed that the 'Golden Girl' doesn't have the fabulous life that everyone thought before?"
"Harriet, I…."
An: ohh I feel evil… Sorry about the cliffhanger. But I will try to post the next chapter soon. So I apologize for any late updates and sucky chapters. Please review this is my first chapter story and I feel like I need advice. Thanks :)
