"I will survive" said Harry

"I need you to mean it Harry, I can hear you don't" said Voldemort menacingly

"You will never change me" said Harry defiantly

Hermione was worried, Harry had been more jumpy than usual lately and he looked like he hadn't had any sleep in days. At lunch everyone else was chatting but he was reserved and ate hardly anything. Frowning she attempted to get him to eat some treacle tart but he refused. Harry refused treacle tart! There was definitely something wrong.

At night Hermione went to the common room to see Harry clambering through the portrait hole. Following him along the dimly lit corridor she watched as he stopped and went into the room of requirement. Taking an extendable ear out of her pocket Hermione proceeded to listen in on what was going on now positive that this was the root of Harry's problem.

"Only the Lord could give me strength not to fall apart" came Harry's deep baritone voice

"Sing it with more conviction" came an unknown voice

"How can I when you blackmailed me into this!" yelled Harry

"Yes but Harry we have to gain funds" the voice was more condescending now

"I don't care anymore shut up you snakey faced bastard"

"No one talks to Lord Voldemort like that!"

Hermione pulled back with a start. Voldemort was in there and he was going to torture Harry! Summoning all her Gryfindor courage she entered the room. The first thing she saw was a stage which held both Voldemort and Harry.

"If you don't then I swear I will send you images of Bellatrix naked" threatened Voldemort

"Wow you really need those funds don't you!" taunted Harry

"What the hell is going on here!" asked Hermione

"Erm… well, you see Voldemort needs funds for his death eaters but he needs to win a karaoke competition to get them, now he has a less than perfect voice -" started Harry

"Hey I'm just musically challenged"

"Whatever so he blackmailed me and said he wouldn't harm my friends if I trained him"

"Okay" said Hermione "Why don't you just take money from the Malfoy's?"

"Ever since the fool got himself captured his assets have been frozen" sneered Voldemort

"Well if you win will you give up on the whole world domination thing?" asked Hermione "You could win the hearts and minds of millions with your singing"

"Um okay, I never thought I was that good" said Voldemort looking happy

"Seriously you could be amazing" lied Hermione

"Really!" asked Voldemort whilst Harry looked like he was trying not to laugh.

"You would be a huge success if you got a better look" said Hermione

"Well I suppose I could combine my horcruxes, that ought to make me look better" mused Voldemort

"Great now practise makes perfect" said Hermione whilst Harry glared at her

"...Fine, okay Harry from the top" agreed Voldemort grudgingly

With that Hermione left quickly knowing that Voldemort wouldn't be a successful and the wizarding world was now safe. So much for the prophecy...

A few weeks past and Hermione realised Harry was looking better and more awake. Picking up the Daily Prophet one breakfast she nearly spat out her pumpkin juice.
