"Now, let's go over what we rehearsed for the last two weeks." Professor Flitwick said, clearly nervous. " Hermione, Draco, whatever you do, don't mess up. Harry, and Ron, you both need to stay on the same key. Then, I expect all of you to be ready for the group number." He finished, his eyes scanning his students. "Where are Hermione and Draco?" He looked around, but couldn't spot them. "Sorry we're late, but someone took forever to get ready." Hermione panted. Draco walked in next to her. "I told you not to run. But, I do take a while to look this good." He motioned to his face. "So, who's first?" He asked as he stuck his hands in his pockets. "Let me see…You!" Professor Flitwick ushered him to the stage. They all watched from behind the curtain as he walked to the middle of the stage. "I'll bet you 10 galleons, he'll make a fool of himself." Blaise whispered to Theodore. "You're on."
"Why, hello on this lovely evening." Draco said to the audience. Parents came to watch their kids perform, and students had a choice to watch if the concert if they wanted to. He easily spotted two blonde heads near the front. Narcissa Malfoy was talking to Blaise's mother, and Lucius was probably showing of his walking stick. Draco cleared his throat, and everybody looked at him. He started to sing the song he'd been practicing for weeks.
I know your insides are feeling so hollow
And it's a hard pill for you to swallow
But if I fall for you, I'll never recover
If I fall for you, I'll never be the same
I really wanna love somebody
I really wanna dance the night away
I know we're only half way there
But you take me all the way, you take me all the way
I really wanna touch somebody
I think about you every single day
I know we're only half way there
But you take me all the way, you take me all the way
You're such a hard act for me to follow
Love me today don't leave me tomorrow, yeah
But if I fall for you, I'll never recover
If I fall for you, I'll never be the same
I really wanna love somebody
I really wanna dance the night away
I know we're only half way there
But you take me all the way, you take me all the way
I really wanna touch somebody
I think about you every single day
I know we're only half way there
But you take me all the way, you take me all the way
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I don't know where to start, I'm just a little lost
I wanna feel like we never gonna ever stop
I don't know what to do, I'm right in front of you
Asking you to stay, you should stay, stay with me tonight, yeah
I really wanna love somebody
I really wanna dance the night away
I know we're only half way there
But you take me all the way, you take me all the way
I really wanna touch somebody
I think about you every single day
I know we're only half way there
But you take me all the way, you take me all the way
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You take me all the way, you take me all the way
He finished and looked over at his parents, and saw Mrs. Zabini whispering in to Narcissa's ear, and Lucius looking stunned. He quickly turned on his heel, and Hermione walked out. She closed her eyes and sang to the music.
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind.
He broke his own heart and I watched
As he tried to reassemble it.
And my momma swore
That she would never let herself forget.
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist.
But darling,
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
Maybe I know somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts.
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone.
Or keep a straight face.
And I've always lived like this
Keeping at comfortable distance.
And up until now I've sworn to myself
That I'm content with loneliness.
Because none of it was ever worth the risk.
Well you are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
I've got a tight grip on reality,
But I can't let go of what's in front of me here.
I know you're leaving in the morning
When you wake up.
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream.
Oh-oh-oh-ohhh.
You are the only exception. You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
And I'm on my way to believing.
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.
She smiled and turned around and ran to the curtain, while Ron and Harry walked out. They looked at each other, then they started to sing together.

As they finished, the rest of them walked, and they all started to sing a song that fit all of them so well.
Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain, we all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
Please, swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won't let show
You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
If there is a load
You have to bear that you can't carry
I'm right up the road, I'll share your load
If you just call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
They all finished at the same time, and they all bowed to the clapping audience. Professor Flitwick had tears in his eyes. Look how they've grown up. He thought to himself. Parents were saying goodbye to their children, while younger kids were going to bed. "You were amazing my little Draconis." Narcissa cooed as she hugged her son. "You were great son. May I ask who that song was for?" Lucius asked Draco. "I just like that song." He lied. Hermione Granger. He thought. He looked over and saw Blaise and Theodore snickering at him. "I've got to go." He told his mother as he struggled from her grasp. "I'll owl you tomorrow, ok?" He told his mother. He slipped away and walked over to his Slytherin friends. "Aw, we're sorry if we broke up your mommy time." Blaise said to Draco as they walked back to their common room.
The songs are Love Somebody by Maroon 5, The Only Exception by Paramore, Ebony and Ivory by Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder, and Lean On Me by Bill Withers. Keep Reviewing!
