A/N: Here it is! The 7th chapter of my fanfiction. It is the moment you all have been waiting for, the TALENT SHOW IS HERE!! I will put another disclaimer at the end of the chapter for the songs I have decided to use for this chapter. I had so much fun writing this chapter. In my classes, I was so devoted to writing this chapter that I was so grateful I am great at multi-tasking. I would be writing constantly, the words just flowing out on the paper. I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as I did writing it. Since I am on Spring Break for the week, I hope to write at least another chapter and post it before the week is over. Wish me luck.
Also, if a character is dancing to a song, or has a song playing in the background, it will be in italics only, like this: I love you, I loved you all along. And I miss you, been far away for far too long.
If a character is singing to a song, the song will be in italics with a speaking quote at the beginning where they sing, to the end of where they sing, like this: "I love you, I loved you all along. And I miss you, been far away for far too long. I just wanted to let you know that just in case.
This is talking "blah"
This is thinking 'blah'

Chapter 6: It's Show Time!
The week went by so fast everyone. Before they knew it, it was the day of the Talent Show. Everywhere you looked, you could see nervous and anxious looking faces of those competing, or the excited and happy looking faces of those waiting to watch the show. Even Fred and George were showing a little nerves, though they constantly got over it pretty fast. There were no classes, since it was a Saturday, so everyone was anxiously waiting for 7:00 pm, when the show would start.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were in their usual corner in the courtyard doing their homework. As Harry and Ron's minds were not focused on homework, Hermione had to constantly get them back to work, though it did not last long.
"Honestly, can't you guys work for at least an hour without your minds wandering elsewhere?" Hermione asked them.
"Normally, yes we would be able to. However, today is the day of the show, resulting in us being nervous. In other words, no we can't." Ron answered.
"Hermione threw Ron an I-can't-believe-you look, though Ron didn't notice. They, mostly Hermione, kept working till almost 5:00pm. Because of the show, they were having dinner early so that everyone could have enough time to get changed and so that the contestants could prepare for their time. Harry, Ron, and Hermione left for the Great Hall. They found seats along the table next to Seamus and Neville.
As dinner came to a close, Professor Dumbledore stood up. The whole Hall fell silent as everyone stared at Professor Dumbledore. Professor Dumbledore looked around the Hall with a smile on his face.
"As you all know, in an hour and a half's time, the first ever Hogwarts Talent Showcase will begin. I am sure you all would like to get changed, so if you could now please go and get ready. The doors will open at 6:45. Competitors, please arrive at 6:30. That is all."
Everyone quickly stood up and left the Great Hall. Harry, Ron, and Hermione tried to stick together, but the crowd was separating them. Hermione went off with Ginny while Harry and Ron continued their way to the common room. They finally made it, gave the Fat Lady the password, and went inside.
"Hope Hermione and Ginny made it through." Harry said. Ron nodded his head in response. They walked up the staircase to their dormitory and got ready for the show. At 6:15, Harry and Ron made their way to the Great Hall. In the Entrance Hall, students were nervously waiting to find out their show time. Harry and Ron would be in Act 3. , with Ron being first and Harry being third.
The competitors started heading inside the Great Hall to wait for the show to begin. Harry and Ron took their seats. With the other competitors next to Fred and George, who were wearing enormous cloaks over their outfits.
"What are the cloaks for?" Harry asked.
"You'll see." Fred and George responded with a wink.
The rest of the school filed in and took their seats. Chatter filled the hall as students everywhere waited for the show to begin.
'Well, it's finally here' Harry thought. 'It's the night I finally tell her. Hopefully she doesn't reject me' Harry thought. The lights dimmed as a spotlight shone upon Professor Dumbledore on the stage. The whole hall went silent as Dumbledore surveyed them all.
"It is time for the moment you have all been waiting for. The first ever, Hogwarts Talent Showcase, has begun." Professor Dumbledore said.
At these words, the whole hall erupted into great cheer and applause.
"I would like to welcome Miss Rose Zeller, who will be our announcer for the rest of the evening, to the stage." Professor Dumbledore said once the noise died down. Everyone gave Rose a polite applause as she walked onto the stage.
"Let's get this show on the road then! To help get us into an upbeat mood and into the show, here's Parvati and Padma Patil!" Rose yelled into the microphone.
As Padma and Parvati came onto the stage, there was a great roar of applause for them. They had huge smiles on their faces as they waved to the audience. They stood on their spots for their performance as the waited for the music to start. The applause died down until it was quiet. Padma gave Collin and Dennis a nod of her head to tell them that she and Parvati were ready. Collin nodded back and pressed a button, and the song began.

Parvati and Padma moved their bodies to the music while the crowd cheered. 'Wow, this is going to be tough' Harry thought
it goes 1 by 1 even 2 by 2
everybody on the floor let me show you how we do
lets go dip it low then you bring it up slow

Parvati and Padma stood back to back. They held each others hands above their heads and lowered themselves to the floor. They bent forward and brought themselves back up slowly and continued on.
Run, Run, Run, Run

"Parvati and Padma sure are setting the bar high huh?" Ron whispered to Harry.
"They sure are." Harry answered seeing the crowds' reaction to Parvati and Padma
Hey Mr.
Please Mr. DJ
Tell me if you hear me
Turn the music up
Hey Mr.
Please Mr. DJ
Tell me if you hear me
Turn the music up
As they danced, Parvati and Padma went over to Collin and Dennis. They lip synced the words and Collin turned the music up louder.
It goes 1 by 1 even 2 by 2

As Parvati and Padma continued to dance, the cheering of the crowd grew bigger.

Once again, Parvati and Padma lip synced to Collin and Dennis, this time though, they got the crowd to call out to Collin too. In response, Collin turned the music up even louder.
Okay everybody get down if you feel me

Okay everybody get down if you feel me

Parvati and Padma urged the crowd to dance with them. Soon, all of the audience, even most of the other contestants were dancing.

Parvati and Padma struck a pose as the song ended. The audience gave a huge roar of applause and Parvati and Padma smiled. They took a bow and waved to the crowd as they walked of the stage.
"Well, that's going to be tough to beat, right judges!" Rose asked the judges. Professor Dumbledore sat in the middle of the table with Professor's McGonagall and Snape on either side of him.
"Here's our next contestant, Neville Longbottom!" Rose yelled. There was a polite and great applause as Neville walked onstage. On the stage, there were and assortment of the strangest looking plants they had ever seen.
"Neville will be trimming and pruning each plant. He will also be taking the magical ingredient within each plant, doing all of this within 10 minutes." Rose said.
The crowd cheered as Neville got his tools ready.
"Ready… Set… GO!" Rose yelled. A huge clock appeared so everyone could see how much time was left.
Neville got straight to work. The crowd would gasp and yell at Neville's act. Neville however paid no mind to this as he was focused on his task.
When Neville was down to last, the only had one minute to go. The crowd was counting down as Neville was quickly trying to finish.
"10… 9… 8… 7… 6…" The crowd yelled. Neville had sweat above his eyebrow.
"5… 4… 3… 2…" The crowd continued.
"One!" "DONE!" Neville cried out just before the clock reached zero. There was a tremendous applause as Neville stood with his arms above his head, grinning. Neville and a few other students carried the plants back off the stage as Rose came back.
"Wow, that was truly amazing! Here's your next act, Pansy Parkinston!" Rose yelled.
Pansy walked onstage to the sounds of only the teachers and Slytherins cheering for her. Pansy was wearing a sweatshirt, sweatpants, and high heeled black shoes.
"Looks funnier than usual doesn't she?" Ron asked Harry. Harry, trying to stifle a laugh, could only nod.
Pansy had a smile on her face. This is for you, Draco." She said. Pansy nodded to Collin and Dennis to start the music.

Pansy moved her body to the music in what she probably thought was a sexy way. Honestly, most people wanted to gag.

Pansy took off the sweatpants, revealing tight leather pants while continuing to move to the music. She then took off the sweatshirt revealing a tight leather top.
"What in BLOODY BLAZES is she doing?" Ron asked really loud looking horrified.
"I don't really know." Harry said, looking as horrified as Ron. Even the judges looked shocked.

Pansy took off the leather pants, revealing short shorts. She then took off the leather top revealing a tight tank top. Pansy still continued in her weird way.

Pansy kept on stripping to the song. She took off the short shorts showing booty shorts. She also took off the tank top to show another smaller tight tank top showing her belly
Work wait
Work work work wait
Work work work wait
Work work work wait
Do it right
Hit tha floor hit tha floor
Hit tha floor hit tha floor
Hit tha floor hit tha floor
Hit tha floor
Pansy was about to take off the shorts when the music suddenly stopped.
"Hey! What's going on?" Pansy shrieked, "I wasn't done!"
Professor McGonagall was standing next to Collins DJ booth with an unplugged cord in her hand.
"You are herby disqualified for your atrocious behavior. You completely deviated from your original routine you showed us when you auditioned. Fifty points from Slytherin!" Professor McGonagall said.
Pansy stormed and raged as she walked off the stage kicking her clothes away from the stage as Rose came back onto the stage.
Harry and Ron looked around fro Malfoy and then found him. He looked repulsed from Pansy's performance.
"Wow, that was ― um ― something. Now, please welcome the lovely Cho Chang!" Rose said.
Cho walked on stage with a graceful walk and a shy smile on her face. She stepped up to the microphone stand, waiting for the music to start. The music started, and Cho began to sing.
"Ikutsu namida o nagashitara
every heart
sunao ni nareru darou
Dare ni omoi tsutaetara
every heart
kokoro mita sareru no darou
nagai nagai yoru ni obieteita
Tooi hoshi ni inotteta
meguru meguru toki no naka de
Bokutachi wa ai o sagashiteiru
Tsuyoku tsuyoku naritai kara
kyou mo takaisora miageteiru"
Cho sang so beautiful, it didn't matter that it was in a different language.
"donna egao ni deaetara
every heart
yume wo fumidasereruyo
hitowa
kanashimi no mukou ni
every heart
shiawase ukabete nemuru
itsuka itsuka subete no tamashii ga
yasuraka ni nareru youni

boku tachi wa ikite nanika wo shiru

kyou mo mada aruki tsuzukete iku
osanai kioku no kata sumi ni
atatakai basho ga aru soushi
hoshi tachi ga hanasu mirai ga

meguru meguru toki no naka de
Bokutachi wa ai o sagashiteiru
Tsuyoku tsuyoku naritai kara
kyou mo takaisora miageteiru
meguru meguru toki no naka de
boku tachi wa ikite nanika wo shiru
toki ni warai shugoshi naite
kyou mo mada aruki tsuzukete iku"
Everyone started to clap, but they heard the music start again.
"Tell me babe, how many do I shed my tears?
Every Heart
Every Heart is not a gentle yet
Shall I do? I can never say my loneliness
Every Heart doesn't know so what to say oh what to do
(I) was afraid of darkness cause I felt that I was left alone
So I prayed for help to (the) distant million stars
Round & Round the planets revolve round the sun
And we always seek after love and peace
Forever more
Growing growing woe baby we can work it out
Look up at the sky
Every Heart is shining all today
Show me now, What kind of smile do I come across
Every Heart
Every Heart can take a step towards the dreams
All of us want to take a lasting happiness
Whenever you feel sad, I wanna hold you & give you a sound sleep"
Cho was now singing the song in English so that everyone could understand what she was singing.
"Someday Every Hearts gonna free and easy
We have peace of mindSomeday all the people find the way to loveGoes & Goes the time goes on we are not aloneWe live on together and we will find some precious thingsSometime we will smile sometime we will cry somehowDon't forget believing yourself - Tomorrow's never dieThere is the warm heart places on my mindIn my earlist day's there and it's so sweetThere are many stars they have talk with me so kindThey say yes always time's a friend of mine so shineRound & Round the planets revolve round the sunAnd we always seek after love and peace Forever moreGrowing growing woe baby we can work it outLook up at the sky Every Heart is shining all todayGoes & Goes the time goes on we are not aloneWe live on together and we will find some precious thingsSometime we will smile sometime we will cry somehowDon't forget believing yourself - Tomorrow's never die"
Cho smiled as the song ended. Everyone cheered for her as she smiled and walked offstage.
"Good job Cho!" Rose called out. "Our nest act is staring Cedric Diggory!"
Cedric walked on stage. He had a smile on his face as he waved to his friends. Once the noise died down, Cedric nodded to Collin, who started the music.
"This song is dedicated to my love, Cho Chang." Cedric said.
"When I see your smile
Tears run down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm stronger I've figured out
How this world turns cold and breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
It's ok. It's ok. It's ok.
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one"
Cedric was really into the song. Many times he would stare directly into Cho's eyes. Cho had slow tears coming down from her eyes with a smile on her face. Everyone in the hall was slowly swaying back and forth to the song. Boyfriends were holding their girlfriends close as girlfriends were doing the same to their boyfriends.
"I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
Cuz you're my, you're my, my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cuz I'm here for you
Please don't walk away,
Please tell me you'll stay, stay"
'Cedric is really good.' Harry thought. 'This will be a little harder than I thought to win. Oh well, as long as she knows how I feel.'
"Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be ok
Though my skies are turning gray
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven"
Cedric's voice slowly died away. All you could hear after were girls screaming their heads off for Cedric.
"SHUT UP!" Rose yelled. "And thank you Cedric for that wonderful performance." Rose said to Cedric breathlessly. Cedric smiled politely and walked offstage.
"Rose sighed. "And now, please welcome, Dean Thomas!" Rose said.
Dean walked onstage with huge posters. Dean took the microphone from Rose's hand.
"Thank you, thank you!" Dean said. "For my act, I shall be telling you the whole history of the West Ham Football League!" Dean cried.
Most of the audience had no clue what Dean was talking about, so they zoned out on him. About 15 minutes later, Dean was still going.
"Umm, Dean, I am sorry, but as we have other performances, we have to cut yours short." Professor Dumbledore said.
"Oh, ok Professor. Thank you everyone!" Dean called as he gathered up all of his posters. Everyone was finally coming to, and looked to the stage as Rose came back on yawning.
"That was very enlightening Dean. Now, for your final performance in Act 1. , here is Susan Bones!" Rose yelled.
There was a gentle applause for Susan as she walked onstage. She had on a pretty light pink dress with a blue sash around the middle along with light pink shoes. She waved to her friends as she stepped up to the microphone. She took out her wand and changed the microphone into an old fashioned one. She then created the illusion of being in water. Susan nodded to Collin and Dennis and they started the music which played a lovely tune.
"Ah ahahahah,
Kiss the girl
(kiss the girl)
There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss girl.
Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
It's possible she wants you too
There's one way to ask her
It don't take a word, not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl (kiss the girl)
Shalalalala
My oh my
Looks like the boy's too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Shalalalala
Ain't that sad
it's such a shame
Too bad, you're gonna miss the girl
go on and kiss the girl (kiss the girl)"
Susan had a great voice and made the song fun by holding the microphone in her hand and dancing to the song.
"Now's your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy, you better do it soon
The time will be better
She don't say a word
And she wont say a word
Until you kiss the girl (kiss the girl)
Shalalalala
My oh my
Looks like the boy's too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Shalalalala
Ain't that sad
it's such a shame
Too bad, you're gonna miss the girl
Shalalalala
Don't be scared
You better be prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
Shalalalala
Don't stop now
Don't try to hide it how"
Susan slowed down and kneeled down onto the stage.
"You wanna kiss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl
(kiss the girl)
(oh, ohnoo..)
(kiss the girl, kiss the girl)
Lalalala, Lalalala
Go on and kiss the girl
Lalalala, Lalalala
Go on and"
Susan looked out at the audience and whispered "Kiss the girl". She quickly stood up and continued the song.
"Shalalalala
My oh myyyyy
Looks like the boy's too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Shalalalala
Ain't that sad
it's such a shame
Too bad, you're gonna miss the girl
Lalalala, Lalalala
(Go on and kiss the girl)
Go on and kiss that girl!
Lalalala, Lalalala
(Go on and kiss the girl)
Go on and kiss the girl
Kiss the girl
(Kiss the girl)
Go on and kiss the girl"
Susan finished the song with a loud applause from the audience. Susan smiled really big as she lifted the enchantments she casted upon the microphone and the area. The crowd kept on cheering for her as she waved to everyone with a big smile on her face.
"That was amazing Susan!" Rose called to Susan. "Everyone, there will be a short intermission. Please get up, stretch, get some refreshments, and enjoy your time here!" Rose called.
A/N: Hope you enjoyed it! When I was writing Pansy's part, I was shaking so much from laughter. When my friend was upset, I told her to read Pansy's part, and she started cracking up. It really cheered her up so much. I had to put in something for Cedric, and I felt that "Your Guardian Angel" fitted perfectly. Now, my disclaimer for the songs I used:
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the songs used in this chapter. The songs were by:
Pon de Replay-Rihanna
Lose Control-MissyElliot
Every Heart-both versions are by BoA Kwon
Your Guardian Angel-Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
Kiss The Girl-Ashley Tisdale
There we go. There are 3 Acts, so I will have two more chapters devoted to the next two Acts, and then I will have a third and most likely final chapter for the winner to be announced. At the end of the Third Act, I will allow you all to vote to see your view on who should win, though I already have the winner. So please, please, please! Please leave a review with what you think of this chapter.
Love Always,
