Here is the long-awaited sequel to my fic, A Very Hogwarts Talent Show. If you have not read it, basically it was a bunch of students performing some rather odd talents. I asked you to vote for your favorite act, then I would post the results right here, right now, in part two! Mind you, this isn't a chapter. It's a PART! Okees, here it be!
A Very Hogwarts Talent Show: Part Two
Fred and George made their way back up onto the stage.
"And that," said George, "Concludes our first annual Hogwarts Talent Show!"
"Thank God and good riddance!" added Fred.
"Yes, well, that too. Now at this very moment our distinguished judges are making their decision andoh, thank you," said George, taking the envelope from the table of students and teachers below the stage.
Fred leaned over his brother's shoulder, reading off the names, sniggering, looking really horrified, then looking very pleased. "Ok then! Third place goes to" Fred was unable to finish the sentence because he was laughing too hard.
George, through sputters of his own laughter, managed to read out, "Thirdplace goes tohahaha! It goes to Neville Longbottom for singing, "Twinkle (haha!) Twinkle, Little Star!" And with that, he joined his brother, who was rolling around on the floor laughing hysterically.
An incredibly stunned Neville clambered up to the stage, shaking like mad. He turned, faced the crowd, smiled weakly, and passed out.
After cleaning Neville up off the floor and composing themselves, Fred and George continued with the awards. Looking absolutely mortified, Fred said quite softly, "And the uhsecond place winner isOh please, George, you do it!"
"No way! I did the last one!"
Fred moaned. "Oh all right. SecondPlaceGoesToRonForHisRap, '" He rather jumbled the words together quickly, but everyone knew what he had said and several people, Draco Malfoy mostly, burst out into laughter.
Fred and George buried their faces in their hands as their brother came galloping up on the stage, still dressed in his horrible rapper motif, shouting stuff like, "Thank you my homies! Oh homies! G-dawg! Homies to the G-squared! Yeah baby! Homie-g in the hood ghetto on my rappin' bus! Oh G, G, G!"
Ron left the stage with a frenzied leap that resulted in several audience members being crushed.
After composing themselves yet again and returning from bright red to their original coloring, Fred and George said simultaneously, "And it is our great pleasure to announce that the first place winner of the First Annual Hogwarts Talent Show isdrum roll please!" A drum sounded from somewhere far away. Draco Malfoy was looking smug. Harry had his fingers crossed in his mouth and was violently salivating on them. Filch mopping up his sweating face. Hagrid was crying. Mrs. Norris was hyperventilating. Colin Creevey was crying. Somewhere in the audience, some strange blond, smiling man shouted, "I am a starfish!" Professor Dumbledore was on the edge of his seat. Crabbe had fallen asleep. Goyle was drooling. Eloise Midgen was popping her zits in anticipation.
Fred took a deep breath and broke the tense silence by saying loudly, "HERMIONE GRANGER! First place to Hermione!"
Hermione screamed, ran up on stage, ran back down, ran back up, and burst into tears.
In the audience, people were clapping crazily. Ron and Harry were giving wild whoops. Malfoy was spitting out a string of swears. Hagrid was bawling. Filch joined Malfoy in the swearing. People were standing up, cheering. Hermione, on stage, was smiling so broadly that her eyes were reduced to tiny blue, tearful dots lost in the happiness on her face.
Harry and Ron ran up onstage, and along with Fred and George, lifted her onto their shoulders, and the great purple curtain bearing the Hogwarts crest came down on all their heads.
THE END
