Graduation Almost Complete, a harry potter fanfic

Graduation Almost Complete.

Albus Dumbledore has decided that every 7th year has to perform one song at the leaving feast and each song has to one have a hidden meaning for them to graduate.

The tables have been cleared and the Goblet of Fire has been set up in front of the teachers table. Slowly Professor Dumbledore gets up and walks around to the Goblet for it to spit out the first unlucky students name.

"The student who will open this Karaoke session is no other than Mr Potter" He announced with a chuckle.

"Go on mate you won't graduate if you don't. Think of it this way you will probably never see many of the people in the hall ever again." commented Ron trying to hold back a snicker.

Steadily Harry Got up and made his way upto the front where Dumbledore was standing with the microphone.

"Alright Harry. What song will it be?" He askedwith the twinkle in his eye working overdrive with amusement. Tearing his gaze away from the old man. Harry scanned the Gryffindor table until emerald met chocolate brown encouraging him to go on through eye talk, they had perfected years ago.

As if seeing the strength he needed to go on he turned back to Dumbledore. "One last things the songs can either be muggle or magical."

"Okay then do you have 'If Tomorrow Never Comes' by Garth Brookes" All Dumbledore did was turn on the music and step to the side.

Somtimes late at night

I lay awake and watch her sleeping

She's lost in peaceful dreams

So I turn out the light

And lay there in the dark

An the thought crosses my mind

If I never wake up in the morning

Would she ever doubt

The way I feel about her in my heart

If tomorrow never comes

Will she know how much I loved her

Did I try in every way

To show her every way

That she's my only one

If my time on earth were through

She must face this world without me

Isn't the love I gave her in the past

Gonna be enough to last

If tomorrow never comes.

Cause i've lost loved ones in my life

Who never knew how much I loved them

Now I live with the regret

That my feelings never were real

So I made a promise to myself

To say each day how she means to me.

And if that circumstance

Where's there's no second chance

To tell her how I feel

Cause if tomorrow never comes

Will she know how much I loved her

Did I try in every way

To show her every day

That she's my only one

If my time on earth were through

She must face this world without me

Isn't the love I gave her in the past

Gonnna be enough to last

If tomorrow never comes

So tell that someone that you love.

Just what your thinking of

If tomorrow never comes

The whole hall erupted into appaulse. As Harry made his way to his seat. Upon seeing a teary eyed Hermione he brought her into a hug. Which everyone thought was friendly, but to them it meant so much more. As they broke apart Harry said something to her which sent her back to teary eyes again. Once the commotion died down and people took thier seats again. All the focus was once again on the Goblet of Fire and Professor Dumbledore.

"Alright the next victim...I mean student to participate will be Seamus Finnigan."

Seamus got up walked up and picked 'Like Toy Soliders' By Eminem

Next to go was Hannha Abott who sang 'Everything Burns' by Anastacia. Ron came next.

He stood in front of the microphone waiting for the music to start. He looked absolutley scared to hell, worse than when he saw a spider.

The music started and immediatley all the muggle-borns recognised the song. So they all turned and glared at Hermione knowing this song was about what happened between them. But all she did was sat there and smiled.

She turned to Harry and whispered in his ear. "Nice to know what everyone thinks of me."

" It doesn't matter what they think. Cause I know the truth, all that matters is what you think of yourself. And thats one of the reasons I love you."

"I love you too" she whispered back.

You were my sun

You were my earth

But you didn't know all the ways I loved you

So you took a chance

And made other plans

I bet you didn't know they would come crashing down

You didn't have to say

What you did

I already know

I found out from him

Now there's just no chance

For you and me

There never be

And don't it make you sad about it

Told me you loved me

Why did you leave me all alone

Now you tell me you need me

When you call on the phone

Girl I refuse you must have me confused

With some other guy

They just confirmed

Now it's your turn to cry

Cry me a river

Yeah yeah

I know there are some things better left unsaid

Harry just blocked out Ron and was just watching Hermione. She turned to find him staring and took his hand under the table intertwined their fingers and just stared into each others eyes.

Before they knew it there was only two names left in the Goblet.

"Now students. I appreciate you being patient, as we are now down to our final two. Then once they have sung the Goblet will pick out Two more names who of which will sing a duet of my choice. Okay the next person to sing is Draco Malfoy."

Begrudgingly Malfoy took the micorphone of the crazy old coot, as he had dubbed him.

"I know you all me to be...Merlin I don't even know how to put it. But i'd like to say sorry to everyone I have hurt or made fun of these past seven years. So this is my song. It's ' How To Save A Life' By The Fray.

Step one you say we need to talk you walks

Say sitdown it's just to talk

Smiles politely back at you

You stare politely right on through

Same saw a window to your right

She goes left and you go right

Between the lines fair and blame

You begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong

I lost a friend

Some where along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

And I know how to save a life

Let him know that you know best

Cause after all you know best

Try to slip past his defense

Without granting incense

Lay down a list of what is wrong

Things you told him all along

Pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong

I lost a friend

Somewhere along in all the bitterness

And I would haves stayed up with you all night

And I know how to save a life

He begins to raise his voice

You lower yours and grant him one last choice

Drive until you loose the road

Or brake with the ones you follow

He will do one of two things

He will admit to everything

Or he'll say he's just not the same

And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong

I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

And I know how to save a life

Where did I go wrong

I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

And I know how to save a life

How to save a life

"Thank you Draco. And I think speak for everyone here when I say we accept your apology." Dumbledore said extending a hand for malfoy to shake. Malfoy grasped his hand firmly." I truely am sorry."

"Alright now onto a lighter note I believe we only have I 7th year left so if Miss Granger would make her way up here we can bring this feast to an almost finish."

Hermione noticed that all eyes were once again on her. She took off her school robe to reveal that she was wearing a strappy white top which was a couple of sizes to small, hip hugging jeans that had ripps and were frayed also a pair of brown boots with the edges of the jeans tucked into the boots.

"Bloody hell" Was the only thing heard throughtout the hall as she made her way to the stage and Professor Dumbledore.

"This is Beautiful Disaster by Kelly Clarkson"

He dreams in his dreams

An exqusite extreme I know

He's as damned as he seems

But more heaven than a heart could hold

And if I try to save him

My whole world would cave in

It just ain't right
Lord it just ain't right

Oh and I don't know

I don't know what he's after

But he's so beautiful

He's such abeautiful disaster

And if I could hold on

Through the tears and the laughter

Lord would it be beautiful

Or just a beautiful disaster

He's magic or myth

As strong as what I believe

A tradgy with more damage than a soul should see

But do I try to shade

It's so hard not to blame him

Hold me tight

Baby hold me tight

Oh and I don't know

I don't know what he's after

But he's so beautiful

He's such a beautiful disaster

And if I could hold on

Through the tears and the laughter

Lord would it be beautiful

Or just a beautiful disaster

" Albus..." Whispered Minerva " Why is she singing this song?"

"My dear Minerva fortunatley that little bet of ours expire at the beginning of last year. If I recall correctly all the power surges over the past two years came from the hhidden meaning behind this song"

"But how is that possible?"

"It's quite possible. Those two are soul mates and are really powerful on thier own but when they combine it they become more powerful than Merlin. So therefore when they forget to keep thier magic under control we get the power surges."

"When?"

"Last year before school started they asked me. They said they were gonna keep it a secret until Tom was gone. And I guess they haven't really found the right moment to tell everyone yet." Answered the old wizard.

I'm looking for love in a logical

But he's only happy hysterical

I'm searching for some kind of miracle

I've waited so long

He's soft to the touch

But frayed at the ends he breaks

He's never enough and still more than I can take

Oh I don't know

I don't know what he's after

But he's so beautiful

He's such a beautful disaster

He's beautiful

Lord he's beautiful

He's beautiful

"Well now I guess none of us including me but thank you anyway Miss Granger. Now please take your seat and we can procede. Who wants to venture a guess as to what or who Mr Potter sang about?"

Silence encased the Great Hall all looking at Dumbledore expectantly. "No one. Well we will just come back to that one then. Okay what about Mr Finnigans song.?"

Some fourth year shouted out " He sang about all the people Voldemort killed and how Voldemort was killed."

"Too bollocking right. That bastard deserves everything he got and more. Cheers Harry you saved us all."

"Believe me Seamus you wouldn't be saying that if you knew what I had to do on order to send him there. All I will say is it pays to have a source of it." For that Hermione punched him in the arm.

"Okay...well anyway cheers mate."

"Now how about Miss Abott?"

"She sang about how no one ever pays attention to her when she has important things to say."

"No one ever truely listens to me unless I scream at them." Susan shouted from the Hufflepuff table.

"Thank you for that bit of information Miss Abott. Now onto Mr Weasley. What was his song about?"

Once Dumbledore said that all eyes somehow found their way back to Hermione, who was slumped onto the table revealing a fair amount of skin of her back. Somewhere up the table a scream ripped the quiet atmosphere.

"She has a tatoo on her back." Screamed the youngest Weasley.

"Cheers Ginny don't make it that obvious. You know you might as well tell them what you saw last night." That shut her up completely which made everyone laugh. But it made Ginny turn a deep red with embarassment.

Hermione spoke up. "Ron's song was about my rejection of him. But he doesn't know the real reason. But if he did I hope he would understand."

"And finally second to last Mr Malfoy has explained his before hand. So that takes us onto Miss Granger. I think the whole song we understood the meaning. But could anyone name the who for us." He said with the twinkle going for a new record of how annoying it can be. "What no one knows well I believe we should go back to Mr Potter to get the meaning of his to give you time to think. So Harry would you kindly tell us the meaning of it please."

"Well it all started back in 3rd year really, but after the six of us went to the Department of Mysteries it really caught me off guard so when I got the chance during the summer I asked her and she said yes. Professor Dumbledore did the ceremony for us. And ever since then I wake up with my arms around her and see that scar that matches mine. I know that I want to do that until the day I die to be honest I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Ron i'm the reason Hermione rejected you. You see she couldn't go out with you because she married me. Sorry mate but this started and you didn't even realise, us sneaking off or just plain leaving you out of conversations did you.? So sorry."

"So now you finally told everyone. One question Hermione?"

"Yes"

"Why do you have a tatoo?"

"Well that sort of happened when we consumated our marriage.Plus we can hear each others thoughts.Harry's got one also.Go on show them." Harry started to open the buttons of his shcool Shirt to reveall washboard abs, broad shoulders and a very muscular chest. He turned to show a Phoenix across the his shoulder blades.

" You know what we'll talk about this when I come to visit the Hollow in the holidays okay." Dumbledore said and they both nodded.

"Now we know that would you two be so kind to sing the duet for us."

"Just put the music on old man" grumbled a pissed off Harry.

Living in my own world

Didn't understand

That anything can happen

When you take a chance

I believed in

What I couldn't see

I never opened my heart

To all the possibilities

Ohh

I know that something has changed

Never felt this way and right here tonight

This could be the start of something new

It feels so right to be here with you

Ohh

And now i'm looking in your eyes

I feel in my heart

The start of something new

Ohh yeah

Now who'd ever thought that

We'd both be here tonight

Ohh yeah

And the world looks so brighter, brighter

With you by my side

By my side

I know that something has changed

Never felt this way

I know it's for real

This could be the start of something new

It feels so right to be here with you

And now i'm looking in your eyes

I feel in my heart

The start of something new

I never knew it could ahppen

Till it happened to me

I didn't know it before

But now it's eas to see

Ohh

It's the start of something new

It feels so right to be here with you

Ohh

And now i'm looking in your eyes

I feel in my heart

That it's the start of something new

It feels so right to be here with you

And now i'm looking in your eyes

I feel in my heart

The start of something new.

Start of something new

"On a final, final note" Started Harry with a smile on his face." It wouldn't be wise to sit on the couch in front of the fire in the common room just yet." He said joining in with Hermione's laughter

"Bloody hell. Did you really have to."

"Sorry mate but it was and emergency." Answered Harry through his laughter.

As he and Hermione rejoined the Gryffindor table.

"Atleast I now know who's underwear kept appearing in our dorm. By the way Hermione try looking a bit harder to find them next time." Ron commented causing everyone including Harry and Hermione to laugh.
