A/N/ This is an AU fic. I had an awesome idea for Hogwarts the Musical, just as in using any songs, which will happen here too, I should tell you. Then, however, it took a huge turn! I started listening to the song Breaking Free, which made me think…..HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL! Doesn't that sound neat? Hogwarts becoming East High? Draco becoming 'Troy', Hermione becoming 'Gabriella'…. I think it sounds fun! It will not be exactly like either piece of work, but it will be really interesting! Or it should be pretty fun, anyways! And seeing as I couldn't get it out of my head, it will probably be updated more often than By the Faith of Old Magic…which will be eventually updated. However, I have to write myself out of my box for it to be….BUT, I know you did not come here to read about that! You came to read the story! So, read away!
Absolutely horrible karaoke singers were filling the air around Hermione Granger, who was trying her hardest to read the large, apparently old, book in her lap. The pages looked as if they could fall apart with the slightest heavy touch, yet they did not. A siren sounded meaning a new contestant's turn, willing or unwilling, however it went, was about to begin. Hermione had not been there long, though, so she was left unknowing, not being able to hide from it because of ignorance.
Across the room, Draco Malfoy was leaned against a wall, talking to some of the many purebloods who were there. Another Paris vacation with nothing to do. As the sirens started to squeal, he tried to move behind one of the poles, only to be grabbed by a person with an extremely heavy accent, who had also been the person he had been talking to. "Now. Noww, leetle Drahco…Eet is not nice to cheeeeet." He pulled him right in front of him before walking away as the light fell on Draco, who was now grimacing. This was not going to be fun…. He was forcefully being shoved and pulled onto the little stage they had made especially for this purpose. Glaringly, he turned to see who his partner would be….And right then, he knew his jaw had dropped.
His staring could not last long, however, as the lyrics to some song called Breaking Free appeared on the screen. In addition, apparently, the males verse came first….
(I know this seems SOOO copycat…..But I had to use something good…And this seemed to be the one that's came to mind…lol)
Draco took a deep breath and glanced over at the girl next to him one more time. Hopefully, she wasn't as bad as his best friend Pansy…
We're soaring
Flying
There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach
Draco turned his back, preparing for the worst. Not all people were vocally blessed, after all…Here, Hermione, who happened to be his partner, to her dismay, began to sing.
If we're trying
So we're breaking free
He jerked his body back towards her, mouth dropped. She was good. No…She was great. However, because his part was next, he didn't have long to gape.
You know world can see us
In a way that's different than who we are
He was starting to get into this song…And so was Hermione, apparently. He gave her a wide smile, and let her sing her part.
Creating space between us
Till we're separate hearts
Both:
But your faith, it gives me strength
Strength to believe
Draco:
We're breaking free
Hermione:
We're soaring
Draco:
Flying
Both:
There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach.
Draco:
If we're trying
Both:
Yeah, we're breaking free
Draco:
Oooh, we're breaking free.
Everyone in the room, who on previous songs had been extremely distracted and/or plugging their ears, were now looking at them and cheering, and dancing along. That gave them more energy, I guess, because Draco and Hermione both kicked it up a notch.
Draco:
Can you feel it building?
Like a wave the ocean just can't control
Hermione:
Connected by a feeling
Both:
Ooh
Hermione:
In our very souls
This was probably now the most exciting show now. The entertainers AND the entertained were high-spirited and having tons of fun by the way, it appeared….
Both:
Rising till it lifts us up
So everyone can see
Draco:
We're breaking free
Hermione:
We're soaring
Draco:
Flying
Both:
There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach
Draco:
If we're trying
Yeah, we're breaking free
Oooh, we're breaking free
Hermione:
Breaking free
Draco:
Running
Hermione:
Climbing
Both:
To get to the place to
Be all that we can be
Draco:
Now's the time
Both:
So we're breaking free
We're Breaking free
Draco:
More than hope
More than faith
Hermione:
This is truth
This is fate
Both:
And together
We see it coming
Draco:
More than you
More than me
Hermione:
Not a want, but a need
Both:
Both of us, breaking free
Hermione:
Soaring
Draco:
Flying
Both:
There's not a star in HEAVEN that we can't reach
If we're trying
Draco:
Yeah we're breaking free
Hermione:
Breaking free
Running
Draco:
Oooh, Climbing
Both:
To get to the place to be all that we can be
Nows the time
Hermione:
So we're breaking free
Both:
You know the world can see us
In a way that's different than who we…
Are….
Taking deep breaths, they smiled HUGELY at each other. Draco opened his mouth to say something to her, but nothing came out….Or maybe it did…But the roars of applause they were now receiving drowned it out. Hermione wrinkled her nose in confusion and quickly mouthed the word 'What?"
Draco glanced around. The applause that had only a few minutes ago been for them was now being used to chant out numbers, waiting for a giant ball to drop. He pushed his way onto the balcony, following the direction she had gone in.
It was cool, but much quieter; the sounds of 9 were just now filling the air, just muffled. He smiled at himself as he quickly located her on the other side. "Hullo…." He chuckled, offering his cold hand. "Might I say that I believe you are the best singer I have ever listened to, by both muggle and wizarding standards."

She smiled and her cheeks tinged a slight pink, though whether it was from the chappingly cold winds or embarrassment, he couldn't tell. "Thank you…" She mumbled, her tone pleasant and perfectly pitched, in his opinion. "You were fabulous too…." He smiled at her again and quickly offered out his hand. "I'm Draco. Draco Malfoy, to be more exact." She provided him with another smile, now showing slightly oversized teeth though they seemed perfectly taken care of, and took the offered hand. "I'm Hermione. Hermione Granger."

The continued to smile at each other for a few moments until he heard the people chant 1, then shout out in joy. Not thinking, he leaned over and captured her lips in a searing kiss, her eyes widening. It lasted a little longer than they both expected, causing them to both look at each other with amazement.
Hermione was the first one to re gain her senses, causing her to jump up and turn a shade darker. "Umm…I have to go hug my mom happy new year's…" This caused Draco to jump. "Oh..Umm…Yeah…So do I…" When she began to eye him funny, he quickly re worded that. "My mum, not yours, of course!" She gave him another kind smile and began to take off. "Wait! I mean…"
He sighed, seeing she was already off the balcony and probably out of the room completely. There was something about her….He smiled quietly to himself as he glanced down at his wand in his palm. Luckily, he had learned the picture charm some time ago….

But in the movie, it is Gabriella and Troy...So..Yeah...SEE YA'LL NEXT UPDATE!
