Every participant starting with Harry rose and lined up in order of their
performance in the near middle of the stage. All were still dressed in
their costumes from their songs, instruments still in the twin's group's
hands. Dumbledore made his way up to the center of the stage motioning to
the group behind him, the crowd clapping, screaming, and cheering.
An embarrassed blush covered Hermione's cheeks as she tightened her hands behind her back. A small shy smile crossed her face as she surveyed the crowd. Ron placed a hand on her shoulder and gave it a small squeeze.
"Well done Hermione, well done." He whispered with a gleeful smile, his stage fright no longer apparent.
"Lets all rise and give Professor Snape one last round of applause for such a wonderful performance." Dumbledore offered kindly as he began to clap his hands towards Snape's last exit. Students jumped up clapping wildly leaving both the Slytherin house and their head professor confused.
"Now, before I announce the winner of this contest, the 7th years have a special surprise for you all." The old Headmaster announced as he looked to Oliver with a small smile, his eyes twinkling in the light of the stage.
Fred, George, Lee, and Dean took their spots. George grabbed his bass, Fred grabbed his guitar, Dean grabbed the guitar next to Fred's and Dean plopped himself down in front of the drum set. As the music started to play, Oliver stepped out to the center stage.
~*~Find myself all alone
In darkness without you
Now I can't turn away
From what I must do
You know I'd give my life for you
More than words can say
I've shown you how to love someone
I know you'll find a way ~*~
Soon the entire seventh year class rose and joined Oliver in front of the stage, joining their voices together for the chorus. All of them were magically in khaki pants and black dress shirts, matching perfectly. With the small exception of girls who did wear khaki skirts instead of the pants. Even their shoes matched, black school shoes all shined and polished.
~*~Say goodbye, close your eyes
Remember me
Walk away, the sun remains
Remember me ~*~
A girl, jumped up next to Oliver on the stage, part of the seventh years. She took over, her voice filling up the Great Hall.
~*~I'll live on somewhere in your heart
You must believe
Remember me ~*~
Harry felt a tug at his heart as he watched the seventh years sing, this was their last year. He probably would never see them again; they were all headed their separate ways. He knew that even if Oliver was strict that he was still a very good friend and he didn't want to see him go. His first ever quidditch captain who taught him all that he knows. . well most of it.
Marcus flint joined Oliver and the girl up on stage, something that Harry though would only end in disaster. He stood next to the girl who was now placed in between Oliver and Marcus.
~*~No way I can change my mind
I don't have the answers
If you could see through my eyes
You'd let go of your fears
And though I have to leave you now
With the thought of each other~*~
They joined once more beginning to sway together as the final and last chorus came on as the music began to build and then die slowly.
~*~Say goodbye, close your eyes
Remember me
Walk away, the sun remains
Remember me ~*~
The music ended and the final voice to hear was Oliver's in a mass of pure and utter silence.
~*~Remember me~*~
Little siblings of the seventh years dried their tears and clapped, standing up on tables to see their elder siblings. Harry ran and hugged Oliver noticing that Oliver's eyes were watering.
"Are you going to cry?" Harry whispered looking up at the tall Scottish captain.
Oliver let out a muffled laugh as he quickly wiped away any noticeable tear and shook his head. "Are you crazy Harry? This isn't a quidditch tournament!"
The younger seeker just laughed and stood back in line as Dumbledore finished his clapping for his eldest class.
"You may all take your seats, thank you for that. We will all remember you." He replied as Oliver stepped back into the line of contestants and the girl and Marcus took their seats back at their respective tables.
"And now, it is time to announce to you, Hogwarts, your talent show winners." He smiled, loving to keep the entire student body and faculty in suspense.
~*~A/N: Hahaha, I have left you all in great suspense yet again! Maybe you will never know! Actually, no wait, yes you will in the next and final chapter. That is when they will be announced. I just decided today, as a holiday present and a sweet touching moment, that the seventh years should have a song since they will be leaving the school very shortly. Hope you enjoyed it and if you did (or didn't) you all know what to do. *Cough* REVIEW *Cough*
