Sup! It's me Spotty! Sorry haven't updated any of my stories in so long! I feel very bad! Please forgive me. D: Well this is my first Harry Potter Fanfic! Summer just started! I'm officially an 8th Grader! It was funny coincidence because the Summer Solstice was June 21-22 and I got out of school on the 22nd. I'm excited for summer kind of, because I'm starting French Horn lesson so I can try and be in the Band at school. Sorry, for going on about school (I'm a geek and I'm proud of it! Anyone have anything to say against that. Well deal with it!) I'm bummed out that school ended though, :(
Well this is a Dramione fic (Draco and Hermione) over a period of time 'til now I've grown very fond of this pairing.
So the main pairing of this story is HermioneXDraco, like I listed above but there will be fair amount of GinnyXHarry because I love that pairing as well
Warning: Slightly OOC and a bit different from the story, not by much but a little bit. Also Hedwig is still alive in this fanfic. Also there will be tons of Ron-Bashing! Just saying!
Any Whoo! On With the Story!
Hogwarts Idol: The Contest
HERMIONE'S POV
Hermione was staying at the burrow for summer again, while her parents were in Paris. She was in Ginny's room that they were sharing, reading 'Hogwarts: A History' again.
"An Owl came for you Hermione!" Ginny said, walking into the room with a tawny owl on her shoulder, when she fully entered the room she took the letter off and the owl flew off.
I took the letter from Ginny's outstretched hand.
Dear Miss Granger
Because of what happened last year, everyone who was a 7th year last year must repeat7th year once more this year. Also I'm delighted to inform you that you have been chosen as Head Girl. In this envelope is your Head Girl badge and list of books for this year.
Sincerely,
Headmistress McGonagall
I let out a squeal. Ginny looked up at me.
"What?" Ginny asked curious. "I'm Head girl!" I screamed. We had a moment of silence, looking at each other then we started screaming again.
We heard loud footsteps, and Harry, Ron, Fred and George (Yeah I made both twins live).
"What happened?!" They all demanded in unison. Harry was by Ginny instantly. They haven't officially started a relationship again, but I knew it will happen soon. They are perfect for each other.
"I"VE BEEN MADE HEAD GIRL!" I screamed, Ginny and I started screaming again. The boys fell to their knees, clutching their ears,
"Bloody Heck! Congratulations 'Mione! But I'm pretty sure, You just made us all deaf!" Harry exclaimed loudly, because of their ears. Ginny and I then just started chuckling.
THE NEXT DAY
We all arrived at King's Cross Station. We all clamored awkwardly onto the Train. We claimed a compartment; we were shortly joined by Neville and Luna. The boys started discussing Qudditch, even though Neville doesn't play, he's a big fan.
The door opened once more. I looked up from my book "Timeless Echo", Ginny and Luna from there discussion, that I guess was gossip, and the boys from their Qudditch conversation.
We saw none other than Draco Malfoy and Blaise Zabini standing in the middle of the large compartment,
"We want to make….a truce," Zabini started "And become friends!" Malfoy finished,
"We want nothing to do with you! You Bloody Ferret!" Ron yelled, standing up, I placed a reassuring hand on my boyfriend's shoulder, he calmed down, and sat down.
"We don't want to do anything with you!" Luna said dreamily, I stood up and stood next to Malfoy
"Guys!" I had to raise my voice, cause they were all bickering.
"The war is over! I'm pretty sure, we have all learned something from the war, I'm pretty sure we can all put those stupid prejudices behind and become friends!" I finished,
"I guess we can try." Neville commented, everyone muttered an agreement.
"I say, we all go bye first name then, no more surnames!" I exclaimed, we all agreed.
"Hey m-Draco! What's your favorite Quidditch team?" Harry called out to Draco, he was sitting with Ron and Neville.
"The Holyhead Harpies! You?" Draco called back, "The Holyhead Harpies!" Harry exclaimed, Ron scoffed,
"Come on! The Chudely Cannons are way better!" He exclaimed, the five boys began discussing further
I smiled, at the boys, they bonded quicker than I expected, I mouthed "Thank you" to Harry and he smiled. I went back to my book.
*At Hogwarts*
We finally arrived at Hogwarts, when we entered the Great Hall, I sat down next to Ginny and across from Ron and Harry. McGongall stood on the stage in front of the House tables, next to the Staff table
"Okay, Welcome back to Hogwarts, especially the previous 7th years. Due to recent events we have had the previous 7th years come back". McGonagall spoke into her wand. "This year we will be having a contest, to help you guys get back into the swing of things, because of what happened last year. " McGonagall continued,
"Hogwarts Idol, is a singing/music competition. You can do solos, groups of two to how many you want, but it would be wise to keep the groups small. Signups are tomorrow. Tuck in" McGonagall finished, we all began eating.
My eyes drifted to the Slytherin table, her eyes finally came upon a certain blonde slytherin. He was looking at me, I locked my gaze with his, and he smiled, no not one of his usual smirks ,but an actual smile, I smiled back.
After dinner, I hung around to meet up with McGonagall and to meet my fellow head. I walked over to McGonagall.
"Ah Miss Granger, meet your fellow head." McGonagall said, and gestured towards the shadows, were Draco came forth
"Now I know you two aren't on the best terms, but please set an example for the students" McGonagall had her back to us turned around, she saw me and Draco exchange a quick hug and high-five. She looked shocked beyond belief
"Umm, not to be rude, But I kind of thought to two where enemies?" McGonagall said, utterly confused. We both laughed at this.
"No we, and 'The Golden Trio' and Blaise have made a truce" Draco explained, The older woman smiled at us.
"Okay, let's go to your dorm" McGonagall said, still smiling, she led us up to the seventh floor of the castle, where we saw a portrait of Godric Gryffindor. HE smiled at me, but slightly glared at Draco for a moment but stopped.
"Okay, what do you want your password to be?" McGonagall asked,
"How about, ' House unity'? You know because, were in totally different houses?" I asked, Draco asked, he smiled.
"Okay, its settled, you may unpack, don't forget signs ups are tomorrow!" McGonagall said, with a twinkle in her eyes, she left.
We entered the large dorm. IT had cream/beige walls, with green ,silver, gold and scarlet banners around the top of the walls. The room had a big couch, a love seat, and a fireplace.
We saw two hallways, the one on the left led to a door ,that said, Draco Malfoy in nice neat writing above the door, the hallway on right, just like the one on the left said Hermione Granger in the same neat cursive.
I entered my room, it was huge, it had a huge bed, a bookcase, a nice big window. My room had a light purple/lavender color; my bed had a brown set up, It was a cool room.
When night finally fell, I was finished unpacking and flopped into my bed and fell asleep.
Draco's Pov
When I woke up, I saw Hermione reading a book, I smiled, I'm glad I've become friends with the now silky haired Gryffindor witch.
I walked down to the Great Hall, I saw Harry, Ron and Neville. I walked over to them.
"Hey guys, you guys want to join up and enter the contest?" I asked them. "Sure, so what about Blaise?" Harry asked, I shrugged
"He said, singing and dancing wasn't his thing." I said simply. "Okay, what should our band name be? On the sign up form we need to have; Band Name, list of band members, type of music,"
"How about 'The Bad Boys?' We could make it work!" Ron suggested, we all shook our heads. We all muttered at different times "No" "No, that's bad"
"How about 'The Herbologist?'" Neville asked, we shook our heads.
"The Marauders?" Harry spoke up. "Sure, " We all agreed,
"Music Type?" Neville spoke up, we all thought for a moment.
"We could do a classic thing, I do have a cello at home!" Neville exclaimed, we all shook our heads "How about we do a pop/rock thing?" I suggested, They agreed.
We walked over to McGonagall she smiled when she saw me with three Gryffyndors. There were three sign up sheets: Solos (One person), Duets( SO only 2 people in your group) and Bands(3 or more students, Max. 5)
I took one of the Band forms. I filled it out:
Band Name: The Marauders
Music Type: Pop/Rock
Band Member(s):
1: Draco Malfoy
2: Harry Potter
3: Ron Weasley
4: Neville Longbottom
I gave the card to the smiling witch and we all went to lunch,
"Okay, we are still having signups but the meeting will be after dinner tonight here," McGonagall spoke up, we all began eating. When I saw Weaslette(Yes I still call her that, but its more like a friendly nickname now.) drag Hermione out of the great hall.
I watched the brightest-witch-of-her-age leave the great hall, I wonder what they are up too?..
Hermione's Pov
Ginny dragged me out of the Great hall after classes and lunch, she dragged me up to the Heads' dorm an to my room after muttered the password.
Once we were seated on my comfy bed
"Ginny! Why did you drag me up here?!" I asked, she grinned, "We!..." She gestured to me and her "Should sign up for 'Hogwarts Idol'!" She screamed, I grabbed my temples,
"Ginny!" I complained, I cursed her famous volume. She sent me an apologetic look. "Why should we sign-up for Hogwarts idol?" I asked,
"Well, we can lay some instruments, You can piano and guitar, and I can bass and guitar, and you sing, I can be backup! You can write our songs, It'd be perfect!" Ginny squealed.
"I don't think I can sing!" I exclaimed, waving my hands. She just looked at me, "Hermione, I've heard you in the shower, your good." Ginny exclaimed, I sighed.
"I'm not good." I said, She shook her head, "Be right back Hermione" Ginny got up and I heard the portrait shut, a few minutes later I heard it open again and saw Ginny and Luna.
"Hermione, Sing for Luna please." Ginny said, it so it was almost like a command.
"Fine. I'll sing a song I wrote, it was inspired by friend and her love life, It's called "Bleeding Love" Umm, Let's go to the room of requirements." I said, and I got up and the girls followed me.
Since it was on the same floor as the Head's room we got their fast. I etered in and wished a piano with my songbook. I actually had sheet music for all of my sings. So I wished my sheet music would come as well
""Okay, this is 'Bleeding Love' written by yours' truly" I said. I sat down at the piano and began. My voice filled the room.
Closed off from love, I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough and it was all in vain
Time starts to pass before you know it you're frozen
But something happened for the very first time with you
My heart melted to the ground, found something true
And everyone's looking 'round, thinking I'm going crazy
But I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing
You cut me open
And I keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open
Trying hard not to hear but they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal is to keep me from falling
But nothing's greater than the rush
That comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness I see your face
Yet everyone around me thinks that I'm going crazy
Maybe, maybe
But I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing
You cut me open
And I keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open
And it's draining all of me
Oh, they find it hard to believe
I'll be wearing these scars for everyone to see
I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing
You cut me open
And I keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open
And I keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open
And I keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I finished the last chord. I sighed and look at my friends. They were just staring at me.
"How bad was it?" I asked, I shut my eyes, but didn't hear anything. I looked again, and I hear the two girls applaud loudly. I opened mmy eyes, and saw them cheering.
"Mione! You have a beautiful voice!" I was shocked, Luna smiled "Yes the Nargles think you are great too! So do i!" She exclaimed, I smiled and rolled my eyes at my friend's craziness.
"Ginny, so we should do it?" I asked, she nodded, "Okay, let's go get a signup sheet, Luna do you wanna join?" I asked, she shook her head. "I wanna be supporting you guys," I smiled at her. We all walked down to the great hall. I picked up a signup sheet under 'Duets'.
Duet members
1. Hermione Granger
2. Ginny Weasley
Music Genre: Pop
I turned it in and McGongall smiled at me.
"Okay, Hermione I know you have head duties so, I'll have Miss Weasley go for you at the meeting" I smiled and thanked the older witch.
Draco's Pov
Well finally it's dinner. I sat down at the Slytherin table with Blaise. I saw Ron, Harry, Ginny and… Hermione. I never really noticed how beautiful she's become. I mean she was always pretty but, wow.
"Okay, Hogwarts, students, we have a new student joining us. He is in his 8th year, he was suppose to join us last year, but that wasn't possible so here he is Nathaniel North. We had the hat sort him into his house, and he is a Gryffindor." The whole Gryffindor table cheered, hooted and hollered. Nathaniel walked over to the Gryffindor table and to my dislike sat right next to Hermione and flashed a smile at her, she giggled.
After dinner I went to the transfiguration classroom with the guys. We took a couple of chairs in the front, soon a few more people joined. Not much people signed up.
I saw Katie Bell, Colin Creevey and some other kids I didn't know, until I saw Weaslette, I pointed her out to the guys. They waved her over, she sat next to Harry (Duh! Who else.) And said hey.
"Are you doing a solo?" Harry asked her. Intertwining his hand with hers. she smiled " No, I'm doing a duet." She answered. "Who with?" Neville and Ron asked simultaneously. "You'll find out." She said deviously.
Harry rolled his eyes, and kissed her hand. I felt weird seeing that 'What would it be like to have an actual girlfriend?' I brushed the thought away I looked up and saw Nathaniel. He was about as tall as me, just a little more tan than I am, brown hair and green eyes. He wore jeans ( I have the student's dress in muggle attire instead of robes 'cause it's easier for me) with a chain and a white shirt with an open plaid shirt. I don't like the guy for some reason…. Hmm.
"Okay, we have about five groups participating. When I call your names stand up and since we have a new student here, say your names and houses please." McGongall said we all nodded.
