Discalmer: I don't own some of the characters, all greatness is thanks to J.K.Rowling, or any of the songs. But I do own some of the story plot, I got the idea of a talent show from another story and the song that Ginny and Hermione are singing. But the Magic Youth Power, Pansy and her mates entering the talent show, Neville entering it, most of the plot and the characters, Jane Polgooth, Annie Litchgate, Betty Fretwell and Silvana Duncan are all mine.

Hope you like it REVIEW!

Here goes...

Chapter Two: Searching For Talent

"Yes?" Hermione asked looking up from her book. Her chocolate brown eyes staring into his deep blue ones.

"Well..."

"What isit Ron?" Hermione said giggling, closing her book and positioning herself so her whole body was facing him.

"Oh god, I can't do it!" Ron thought, panicing and felt the tip of his ears redden. He started breathing heavily and said, "well I just, erm, well. Your not mad at me not OWLing you that much over the Summer, are you?" He sighed, good save!

Hermione laughed quite loudly, "Ronald, I am used to it by now. We have been friends for, what, 6 - nearly 7 years. No I'm not mad, I know you don't like writing." Hermione finished smiling at him and getting up. "If that's all, see you at breakfast?"

Ron nodded, so Hermione walked off. "Though what you did write to me brightened up my Summer," Hermione whispered to herself, blushing. "Hermione stop it! ... But I can't I am falling for him." She thought, arguing with herself as she walked up the stairs. Suddenly there was a male voice behind her, it made her jump.

"I'm tired too," said Ron. He was so close to her he was breathng on her neck. She liked it and smiled, but then he backed of a bit. "Sorry," he apolized, turning as red as his hair. She giggled, continuing to walk up the stairs. They got to the top.

"Well, good night." Ron quickly and quietly said, beginning to turn.

"Night Ron," Hermione replied, catching his cheek with a peck... quickly.

She ran of down the hall to her room before he could say anything. Ron stood their amazed, Hermione had kissed him on the cheek before but not like that. He touched the spot and tingled. He turned and entered his room. "This year will be interesting," he wondered, closing the door.

Next morning at breakfast in the Great Hall. (Ron was sitting next to Harry and oppsite Hermione)

"Have you guys seen Ginny?" Asked Hermione.

"N-no, I haven't." Ron said avoiding eye contact with Hermione.

"Me neither," Harry said, worrying a little, and looking up from his plate at Hermione.

"Oh, cause I need to talk to her, badly." Hermione said, watching Ron shovelling food into his mouth. She sighed, "he is really quite handsome, when he is not being a pig," Hermione thought, "NO Hermione stop it!"

Harry watched her watching Ron. He elbowed Ron and asked Hermione inocently, "oh, what about?" Eventhough he knew what had happened the night before.

"Don't worry," Hermione answered, shaking her head. She looked over her shoulder and saw Ginny running in with a piece of paper in her hand.

She arrived at Hermione, puffing. Sitting next to her she said excitedly. "Her...mione...OH...MY...G...OD! I...was...on...my...way...he...re...and...look...what...I...found!" She was out of breath, but pointed at the paper.

"Hold on, calm down. What was that all about?" Hermione asked.

Ginny let her breath catch up with her. "I was on my way here and look what I found on a table in the Common Room?!" Ginny said beaming at her friend and pointing at the crumpled piece of paper.

Hermione read it out loud, "calling all talented witches and wizards. Whatever your talent is we want to know, Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry has kindly agreed to take part in a Talent Show held by Magical Youth Power's own Peforming Arts Faculty. The faculty is new and is hoping to stay open. It's job is to find talented young witches or wizards that want help in becoming big. Magical Youth Power is owned by the Ministry Of Magic it is dedicated in helping all youths to become great witches or wizards." She stopped reading, "W-ha-"

Hermione was stopped, by the voice of their new Headmistress, Professer McGonagall. "Students, I hope you are enjoying your breakfast. Just one announcment, I see many of you have seen flyers placed in all common rooms." Ginny made a little sqeal while sitting up straight. Harry, Hermione and Ron all stared at her, she sulked back down, shutting up. "Yes, Hogwarts are taking part in a Talent Show hosted by Magical Youth Power. The sign-up sheets are being placed in all the common rooms as I speak. You have to be signed up by Friday. Thankyou." As soon as she finished everyone began chatting very loudly.

Ginny couldn't hold it in any longer, "Hermione, you HAVE to sign up!" Ginny ordered Hermione loudly and happily. This was the happiest any of the trio have seen Ginny over the last few days.

"What, n-no, m-me I can't. I don't have any talent-" Hermione moaned, Ginny inturupted.

"Your a great singer," she said, "and don't say you aren't Hermione Jane Granger!"

"Well so are you, and I don't see you signing up, Miss Ginevra Molly Weasley!"

"Yeah, Ginnykins," Ron said sacasticly, looking up from his plate of food, "sign up, little sister."

"Oh shut it!" Ginny replied bluntly. "Ron, you can sing, you know you can. Always singing in front of the mirror and doing your oh-so goofy dance," Ginny did an impression of him, flapping her arms around. "So why don't you sign up or not get involved, big brother?" Ginny gave him the ha-ha-embarresed-now-aren't-you look also smiling inoccently at him.

Ron felt his cheeks starting to burn, Hermione and Harry just stared at him. Harry went back to eating when Hermione asked, "Another thing you are hiding from your best friends, eh, Ron?" Finishing, smiling sweetly at him.

"I'm not telling you who I like," Ron answered quickly, "at least not yet."

Harry choked on his bacon and broke out in a coughing fit. Ginny giggled while Ron began turning as red as his hair. Hermione looked at them, eyeing each one of them carefully. For once she didn't know what was going on.

"So are you signing up?" Ginny asked Hermione, pouting.

"That doesn't work on me Gin, you know that," Hermione replied giggling, "I will, if you do?"

"OK! We can do something together," Ginny said excietdly, planning it all out in her head. "Lets go." Ginny said grabbing Hermione's hand and dragging her out of the great hall.

When the girls were out of earshot Harry said, "well, can't wait to see how this turns out," clearing his throat.

"Yeah," Ron began, "me too..." He said watching Hermione get dragged out the great hall by his little sister.

Griffindor Common Room

"Password," the Fat Lady asked.

"Orgoglioso" Hermione replied.

"Enter..." the Fat Lady opened the entrance. Hermione and Ginny walked in to see a long line of Griffindors all waiting to sign up.

"Well better get in the que." Ginny moaned. They walked over and joined the end.

- A little while later -

"Just one more person," Ginny yawned. Neville Longbottom, the one in front of them. He wrote his name and what he will be doing.

"What are you doing Neville?" Hermione asked.

"Muggle magic tricks," Neville smiled showing his dimples in his chubby cheeks. Hermione noticed when reading the list of students who had signed their names that Neville was the only boy. "Aw how cute," she giggled while writing her and Ginny's name and what they will be doing. "Oh no." Hermione sighed.

"What?!" Ginny said worried.

"We have to write the song we are doing?" Hermione asked.

Ginny thought for a while. "Write a muggle song called At The Beginning."

"W-what, how do you know a muggle song?" Hermione asked cofussed.

"I'll explain in a minute, just write it down," Hermione did and then they ran to Ginny's room.

- Ginny's Room -

Looking through her trunk, Ginny found it. Handing the CD over to Hermione.

"Thats it, on that CE-"

"CD, Ginny" Hermione corrected her, while reading the case.

"Yeah, anyway. When I was like 10, dad was working on Muggle Movies or something. He brang home a video player and video called: Anastasia-"

"I remember that film!" Hermione inturupted, smiling.

"Ok..." Ginny said getting a little annoyed, "So I really loved the song in it called At The Beginning. So dad brought me the CD with all the songs on it and a player that the CD is put into so it plays." Ginny said in one breath.

"A soundtrack and a CD player," Hermione giggled, she liked having a friend who knew nothing about muggles or muggle things.

"Here's the player," Ginny said handing her it. She pointed her wand at it and said "elettrico." The light came on and it was working.

"Wow Ginny!" Hermione said looking at her friend.

"Dad told me it is easier that how muggles do it" Ginny said smiling.

"Yeah it is!" They both laughed. Hermione put in the CD and put the right track on. Number 3. At the beginning. It was beautiful.

We were strangers,

Starting out on a journey

Never dreaming what we'd have to go through,

Now here we are,

And I'm suddenly standing,

At the beginning with you...

Slytherin Common Room

Pansy Parkinson was sitting on the couch with her 3 'friends' sitting on 3 stools in front of her. She turned and layed down on the couch.

"Who does that mud-blood and Weasl-bee girl think they are?!" She angrilly asked her 3 goons.

One of them answered her, Annie Litchgate. "I know, Pansy! Your gonna win for sure." She smiled at Pansy. Of corse Pansy didn't return the favour.

She buntly replied, "well of course I am gonna win, with the song my cousin gave me! Defentally!"

All of the goons copied her, "Defentally!"

Betty Fretwell, one of the girls asked, "what song are we doing?"

Jane Polgooth, the other girl. "You didn't tell us, Pansy?"

Pansy said proudly, "I am going to sing Hit Me Baby One More Time by a muggle singer called Brittany Spears! It is the best song ever. You three can just... dance in the background." With a flick of her wand, the song started playing.

About about 20 seconds into the song, a 1st year came running through Slytherin entrance. She started dancing, "PANSY! Is this song you are doing, it is AMAZING!" The girl, Silvana Duncan, giggled.

"Yes it is, Silvana come here." Pansy said sweetly to the girl while sitting up and then patting the space next to her, "I would like you to do something for me because we are best friends," Pansy lied.

"Of corse!" Silvana came running over and sat down.

"Well I want you too..." and whispered the rest into Silvana's ear. When she was done she cackled.

But stopped when Silvana asked, "isn't that cheating?"

"Of course it isn't. If you wanna be my friend do it! Ok?" Pansy said meanly.

"O-ok..." Silvana replied quietly.

"Good girl," Pansy said, tapping her on the head as she stood up and walked out the Slytherin entrance. The other 3 girls followed her, tapping Silvana on the head as they passed but they were laughing aswell.
