American Idol!

A/N: I know it has been a while, for all of my readers- but as we all know I am far too determined to try to do more than one story at a time. Now, I just got another chapter up on HPMTBO2, so I can get this one up in the meantime! Now, lovely chapter four!

Chapter Four Harry and Ron's Appearance!

"Hermione!" Harry said. "We found you… finally." He said, a hint of complaint in his voice.

"What do you mean finally? I've been searching for you two forever." She said.

"No wonder we couldn't find each other… we were too busy to stop and wait because we were looking for you." Ron said.

"Uh…" Claudia mumbled. Hermione looked that way.

"Oh, right!" She exclaimed. "Harry, Ron, this is Claudia and Dana. They're from America originally. Dana, Claudia, this is who I've been looking for, Ron Weasley and Harry Potter." Hermione finished.

"Pleasure." Ron and Harry said, outstretching their hands. Dana took Harry's and Claudia took Ron's.

"Nice to meet you." Dana said, shaking Harry's hand.

"Hermione here has told us all about you. Literally." Claudia said after shaking Ron's hand and letting go.

"Really? And what exactly did she say about us?" Ron asked. There was a moment of silence.

"Things." Dana said. They laughed. Finally, Hermione, Dana, and Claudia took their seats, which were right next to Harry and Ron. They quickly used their wand when no one was looking to move the seats together so they could talk without having to yell across the aisle. "So," Dana said a few minutes later, "How did you know we were going to Hawaii?"

"And how did you know what plane we were on?" Claudia asked.

"And what time we left and what are seats were?" Hermione finished. Those were dumb questions.

"Magic." Harry answered simply. "For some reason before this we didn't use magic to try and find you. We supposed that since Voldemort's downfall, it was better to lay low for a little bit." He finished. Ron still twitched a little at Voldemort's name, even though Harry murdered him in their seventh year (A/N: I didn't write a seventh book to go before this one, so let's just say that that was what happened, kay?).

"But, after a while, we realized that using magic may be the only way to find you." Ron added. "And alas, here we are now."

"Oh. So, I guess will be spending some time together in Hawaii." Hermione said. Harry and Ron nodded.

"I thought that when we got their, maybe we all could try out for American Idol. I don't know if we can sing, but it would be interesting…" Ron said. Hermione, Dana, and Claudia exchanged looks. Hermione gave them a quizzical look. Suddenly, Dana and Claudia smiled brightly. Hermione wished she knew what was going on, but the word singing made her very nervous.

Meanwhile, a few seats back, Pansy, Draco, Eitan, and Nicholas sat together, talking in hushed voices.

"American what?" Draco asked, a little louder than intended. Pansy had just mentioned something about a popular T.V. show that happened to be being held in Hawaii.

"American IDOL, Drakey." Pansy corrected him.

"Stop calling me that." Draco insisted. Pansy shook her head, smiling and winking. Draco frowned. "So, what is this show thing, anyway?" He asked, looking at Eitan and Nicholas. Eitan shrugged.

"Singing contest. People sing and try to get the title of AMERICAN IDOL. Fancy show, if you ask me…" Nicholas said.

"SINGING!" Draco practically yelled. "I- DO- NOT- SING!" He whispered madly at Pansy through clenched teeth.

"You sing fine in the shower." Eitan laughed. Draco stared daggers at him. Eitan shrugged again and looked back at his book.

"Drakey, I just think it would be a fun thing to do together. You know, just the two of us…" She mumbled.

"Hey!" Eitan and Nicholas growled, glaring at her.

"And you two." She added, not even looking at them. Pansy drew an invisible circle on Draco's shoulder with her finger. "Please?" She begged, bringing out the puppy eyes. "Plllleeeeeaaaaasssssssssseeeeee?" She said annoyingly.

"Urg…" Draco growled, looking out the window next to him. He rolled his eyes as Pansy started to raw another circle. He slapped her hand away. "Maybe…" He said finally, and quietly. Eitan and Nicholas gasped a little.

"Oh, goody! It'll be fun Drakey-" She started.

"Wait, I didn't finish." Draco said, looking back at her slyly.

"I knew there would be a catch." Eitan quietly mumbled to Nicholas. They nodded.

"Maybe… if you never, ever, ever, ever… call me Drakey again." Draco finished, smiling. Nicholas smiled at Eitan.

"That'd do us all a favor." He mumbled to Eitan. They nodded again. It was very quiet for a moment as Pansy sat there, staring blankly at Draco. She blinked sadly. Draco looked her directly in the eyes- trying to tell her that he was far more serious than he was acting. Pansy seemed to be getting the drift.

"Uh…" She mumbled. "Okay. " Draco's smile fell. He though for sure she would keep calling him that and they wouldn't have to do the stupid show thing. He felt worse now- he pretty much had to do it.

Draco sighed.

Meanwhile again, Hermione had just been explained to about what American Idol was. She seemed very hesitant about it.

"I told you guys," She hissed quietly, "I can not sing. I'm just not good at it." She looked at her feet quietly.

"Well, that's okay. I'm not either." Ron insisted. Hermione did realize that that was probably true. "All we want is to try for the first round, then we can go do something else when they yell 'leave, you stink!'" He said, smiling. Hermione felt a little better now.

"Well…" She said quietly. The other exchanged excited looks, hoping she would say she would at least do that… "Okay. I'll do it!" She said finally. The others cheered loudly, attracting the whole planes attention. The quieted down quickly.

This is going to be interesting… Hermione and Draco thought at the same time.

A/N: And there you have it. Ohhh… okay, in the next chapter they'll get to Hawaii and things will get interesting, that's for sure… will they recognize each other? How will the whole American Idol thing turn out? AND WILL PANSY REALLY STOP CALLING DRACO 'DRAKEY'? All in the next chapter…

Thanks for reading, R&R, no flames!
