Everything I hate about you!
By: s.n. wallace
It was impossible to tell my parents and brother the truth but I did, and they were happy for me. I, Serenity Malfoy, was in love with Fred Weasley, and I did not know how he felt about me. Anyway, tonight was a big party ball that my parents were throwing for Draco and me, since we were turning 17. My mom even invited the Weasleys, Harry Potter and Hermione Granger.
Heremione and Draco had both confined in me that they were in love with each other but did not know how the other felt. Therefore, I hatched a plan with Hermione and Ginny to sing tonight and let the guys we loved know how we feel. Then Draco would know, and Harry and hopefully Fred too. I was soon ready by six because the ball started at six-thirty. I was dressed in a blue dress that hugged my curves and made my eyes pop, and the dress went mid-thigh.
When we arrived, mostly everyone was there. I watched Draco go over to his new friends, which consisted of the Weasley twins, Potter, Ron and Blaise Zabini. I went to find Ginny and Hermione so we could apply our make-up before we went on stage. I spotted them with Mr. and Mrs. Weasley.
"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley," I curtsied. "Miss Hermione and Miss Ginny."
"Oh, hello Serenity dear, I sure hope you're ready for tonight." Mrs. Weasley smiled at me.
"Oh, of course, in fact Mia, Gin and I need to finish up real fast. Excuse us." I bowed my head and left with the girls. "You both look awesome!"
As we applied our matching make-up, I looked at the girls again. Hermione was wearing a dress similar to mine except red, as I suggested. Ginny was also wearing the same dress except hers was green. We were also wearing necklaces with a sapphire (me), ruby (Mia) and emerald (Gin). All of our colors matched our eyes and even our crushes. Half an hour later we heard my father announcing the three of us onto stage for our song, we stepped out into applause and we grinned all thinking the same thing. 'This was going to be fun.'
"Hello everyone! The song we are about to sing is a muggle song about breaking up because of the bad qualities, and the reason for all the fights." Mia said into the microphone.
"Hope you all enjoy it!" Gin and I screamed.
"Sha." I started.
"Sha." Ginny stared at Harry.
"Sha." Mia looked softly at the crowd. I stepped forward to start the song. The three of us all had things we loved and hated about Fred, Draco and Harry. We were just about to let them know too.
Serenity
'I probably shouldn't say this
But at times I get so scared
When I think about the previous
Relationship we shared.'
The relationship was being the end of harmful words for Mia and me. Sure Draco has not called Mia a mudblood for a year, but he still does not think she will forgive him. Fred always sent some sort of insult my way because of Draco being mean to the Golden Trio. Just recently though we all tried to be friends.
'It was awesome, but we lost it
It's not possible for me not to care
And now we're standing in the rain
But nothing's ever gonna change until you hear, my dear'
The friendship for the four of us was awesome but soon it went downhill. Draco and Fred started to drift back to Harry and the rest of their friends Harry and Ginny even had a relationship but the 'spark' died and she still will always care about Harry. We started to remember that rainy night that we had cornered the threee seperately and told them what we hated about them.
All girls (loudly)
'The 7 Things I Hate About You!
The 7 Things I Hate About you, oh you'
Hermione (looking at Draco)
'You're vain, your games, you're insecure'
Ginny (looking at harry)
'You love me, you like her'
Serenity (looking at Fred)
'You make me laugh, you make me cry
I don't know which side to buy'
Looking at Draco I could see remorse written across his face. He knows he is all those qualities because he used to flaunt it. Harry had guilty written across his face and Ron nudged the two torwards the stage. Finally, I looked into Fred's blue eyes and I saw something I did not expect. Happiness, as if he wanted me to do this. Willingly he walked up to the stage to stand by Harry and Draco.
Together
'Your friends, they're jerks
When you act like them, just know it hurts
I wanna be with the one I know
And the seventh thing I hate the most that you do
You make me love you'
Hermione
'It's awkward and it's silent
As I wait for you to say
What I need to hear now
Your sincere apology'
An apology is all that Mia wanted from Draco. That is how much she loved him. She has waited for over a year and now it is to the point of where it is awkward between the two. Ginny also has waited for an apology from Harry for listening to Dean Thomas. Dean, an ex-boyfriend of Ginny's, told Harry she was cheating when she wasn't.
'When you mean it, I'll believe it
If you text it, I'll delete it
Let's be clear
Oh I'm not coming back
You're taking 7 steps here'
Mia, Ginny and I have had people that faked apologies towards us, which of course pissed us off. We wanted a real apology if it was even blunt. When Mia said '7 steps here' all three boys climbed onto the stage to stand in front of us. What none of us knew were my parents and all the Weasleys were grinning like cats.
Together
'The 7 things I hate about you!
You're vain, your games, you're insecure
You love me, you like her
You make me laugh, you make me cry
I don't know which side to buy'
Ginny (looking sadly at harry)
'Your friends, they're jerks
When you act like them, just know it hurts'
Ginny had told Mia and me about how Harry sometimes acts like his friends, but mainly Ron. Maybe he will learn from the song…
Serenity (Fred grinned)
'I wanna be with the one I know'
The Fred I knew was funny, yet romantic; a prankster, but also normal. I wanted to be with that Fred.
Hermione (flashed Draco a smile)
'And the 7th thing I hate the most that you do
You make me love you'
Mia did hate that she loves Draco without knowing if he liked her back. Therefore, the song was perfect for us on expressing our feelings for them. After that chorus, Draco stepped closer to Mia and grabbed her hand, when he did that Harry, of course, copied him. I did not expect Fred to do the same, which he didn't, of course. What he did instead was walked up to where he was two inches away from me, he stared at me softly before pulling me into a hug and laying my head on his shoulder.
Ginny
'And compared to all the great things
That would take too long to write
I probably should mention
The seven that I like'
The three of us have many things we like about them. Now wrapped in Fred's arms I realize how lucky I am to love him. Besides his amazing qualities overbeat the bad ones.
Together (softly)
'The 7 things I like about you!'
Serenity (still holding Fred)
'Your hair, your eyes, your old Levi's'
Red haired, blue eyed Fred was my everything, when I saw him in blue jeans I just couldn't breathe.
Hermione (clutching Draco's hand)
'When we kiss I'm hypnotized'
Draco and Mia told me about a stolen kiss, Mia had been studying when out of nowhere Draco came out and kissed her. They both had said they were hypnotized.
Ginny (2 feet from harry)
'You make me laugh, you make me cry
But I guess that's both I'll have to buy'
Ginny was over Harry making her cry, but she loved it when he made her laugh. She was very willing to buy them both for him.
Together (with tears in the eyes)
'Your hands in mine
When we're intertwined, everything's alright
I wanna be with the one I know
The 7th thing I like the most you do
You make me love you!'
As the song ended around us, people started to clap, but we didn't hear them. We were too busy listening to the apologies we have been waiting for.
"It took me this long to realize you are so important to me." All three boys said at once, as if rehearsed. "We won't do it again, we promise."
"Don't say that. We love you just the way you are." Mia, Ginny and I sighed contently.
Song used was 7 Things by Miley Cyrus.
