Author's Note: I found my pen drive, (it was in the library in college) and I've only been able to get it back today. Thank you for your patience and I am really sorry for not updating for the last two weeks. I went to the Harry Potter London Tour which was amazing I genuinely recommend it to anyone whose thinking of going. I think I'm going to start uploading on Mondays (if my friend is still ok to edit the chapters for that day) as I've nothing on, on them days at the moment, whereas I am busy Wednesday's now. Thank you for reading, reviewing, alerting the story and favouriting (not a word oh well) this story. Please review and let me know what you think.
Chapter 14: Decisions
Ginny's POV
"Hello everyone," Hermione began, "for this talent show, each group who went to 'Camp Rock' are going to perform several songs between them."
"Those who didn't go to 'Camp Rock' can still sign up and will perform after the 'Camp Rock' groups have finished. Oh and if anyone in any of the groups wanted to do an extra song or wants to do one on their own they can also sign up separately." Neville added.
"So we need to sort out what songs we are going to do; who is going to sing and so on." Hermione finished.
"When are you announcing this to the rest of the school?" I asked.
"Tomorrow at breakfast we'll tell everyone else."
"Does that not mean that we're getting an unfair advantage?"
"Only by a day Gin," Harry reasoned.
"And at this rate we'll have no advantage." Zabini cut in.
"Fine, who wants to sing?" Hermione asked.
"Well we know that Harry, Hermione, Neville, Luna, Lavender, Parkinson and Malfoy can sing; anyone else?" Everyone other than those named shook their head. "So we have singers" Ron continued. "Does everyone in the group have to perform?" He asked Hermione and Neville.
"No, as long as each group performs a certain number of songs." Neville replied.
"How many per group?" Malfoy asked.
"We weren't sure, that's why we wanted to speak with you guys first."
"Maybe 2 or 3?" I suggested. If they asked for too many we'd still be there at Christmas.
"Ok, shall we figure out songs when you've actually announced it?" I asked Neville and Hermione.
"Yeah okay."
"Well Hermione will probably sing and Malfoy and maybe a few on their own?" Padma said.
"Well I don't know if I'll be singing yet,"
"Don't be so modest Hermione it'd be odd if you didn't sing."
"Well we could do a ball at Christmas as well so whoever doesn't sing at the talent show can sing then, and you could always sign up separately." Neville cut in.
"When is this talent show going to happen?" I asked.
"The weekend before Halloween, so the 24th of October, which is a Saturday. So we have just under 2 months to get these songs ready." Hermione replied.
"Sounds good, so what do you all think of these new girls?" Zabini smirked.
"One of these 'new girls' happens to be my sister Zabini, watch what you're saying."
"Oh it's not your precious sister I have my eye on Potter." I was really shocked at him especially since he said that summer that he was in love with that other girl. I didn't think he'd act like this, so cocky. But then again maybe it was an act.
"Who then, Black?" Harry said disbelievingly. "You're having a joke right?" I saw something flicker behind Zabini's eyes, yep definitely an act. I poked Harry in the arm as slyly as I could and told him with my eyes to shut up. Most people completely missed this interaction but Zabini didn't I saw he look at me with gratitude. After that he dropped the act and stayed silent.
"I think someone should sing a song," I said trying to distract everyone and lighten the atmosphere.
"Go on then you do it Weasley." Malfoy smirked. What is it with Slytherin's and smirking?
"No someone who actually can sing, I think you and Hermione should sing a duet," Now it was my turn to smirk.
"No way." She said at the same time as he said "Why not?" 'Well this will be interesting' I thought.
"You want to?" She said shocked, then again so was I. What was the world coming to? Draco Malfoy wanted to do a duet with Hermione Granger.
"Yeah, it'll be fun."
Hermione's POV
I couldn't believe what I was hearing; we weren't even friends were we?
"What's a song between friends?" Well apparently we were, I genuinely thought he was being sarcastic and was taking the complete mick out of me, trying to make me look like a fool, but then he said, "What song shall we do?"
"I don't know." I replied I was still in shock.
"Well," Lavender said, "I think you should sing, 'Everything has changed' by Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran." I knew what song it was and I felt butterflies in my stomach when she said it. I had to write the lyrics down on some parchment for Malfoy so it didn't have the same effect on him, I told him to sing the lyrics that said 'Ed Sheeran' or 'Both' above them.
"All I knew this morning when I woke,
Is I know something now, know something now I didn't before.
And all I've seen since eighteen hours ago is green eyes and freckles
And your smile in the back of my mind making me feel like,
"I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just want to know you, know you, know you
"Cause all I know is we said hello,
And your eyes look like coming home,
All I know is a simple name, everything has changed.
"All I know is you held the door,
You'll be mine and I'll be yours.
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed.
"And all my walls stood tall painted blue,
But I'll take 'em down, take 'em down and open up the door for you.
"And all I feel in my stomach is butterflies the beautiful kind
Making up for lost time, taking flight, making me feel like,
"I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just want to know you, know you, know you
"Cause all I know is we said hello,
And your eyes look like coming home,
All I know is a simple name, everything has changed.
"All I know is you held the door,
You'll be mine and I'll be yours,
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed.
"Come back and tell me why,
I'm feeling like I've missed you all this time,
And meet me there tonight,
And let me know that it's not all in my mind,
"I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just want to know you, know you, know you
"All I know is we said hello,
Your eyes look like coming home,
All I know is a simple name, everything has changed.
"All I know is he held the door,
You'll be mine and I'll be yours,
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed.
"All I know is we said hello,
So dust off your highest hopes,
All I know is pouring rain,
And everything has changed.
"All I know is a new found grace,
All my days, I'll know your face,
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed.
He looked at me and it was like we were the only ones in the room. It hit me, came out of completely nowhere and I had no idea what to do with the information but I liked him, I liked
Draco Malfoy. Of all people it had to be him.
Ron's POV
Everything had changed and I hated it, I completely regretted breaking up with Hermione (I know she technically broke up with me but I was going to break up with her anyway, so it's the same thing, right?) I had to get her back before Malfoy took her away. I wasn't going to lose to him. I'd been an idiot and I realised that telling her I liked Lavender was just stupid. I seriously hoped she would forgive me, but when I saw them sing that muggle song I really thought I had no hope. But then Hermione she asked me if I'd meet her in the room of requirement, I knew I still had a chance. So I met her, we walked in together and there was a muggle music player and a microphone.
"Hermione I just want to say before you begin that I love you and I really would like you to give me another chance, will you marry me?" I didn't plan it I blurted it out before I even thought about it, I thought she'd cry or at least look happy but she just looked awkward. "Look I'll change for you I'll be exactly who you want me to be."
"Ron I think this song will explain it." I genuinely thought somehow through the song she'd say yes. What actually happened though I wasn't expecting.
"From walking home and talking loads,
To seeing shows in evening clothes with you.
From nervous touch and getting drunk,
To staying up and waking up with you.
"But now we're sleeping at the edge,
Holding something we don't need,
All this delusion in our heads,
Is gonna bring us to our knees.
"So come on let it go,
Just let it be,
Why don't you be you?
And I'll be me.
"Everything's that's broke,
Leave it to the breeze.
Why don't you be you?
And I'll be me.
And I'll be me.
"From throwing clothes across the floor,
To teeth and claws and slamming doors at you.
If this is all we're living for,
Why are we doing it, doing it, doing it anymore?
"I used to recognize myself,
It's funny how reflections change.
When we're becoming something else,
I think it's time to walk away.
"So come on let it go,
Just let it be,
Why don't you be you?
And I'll be me.
"Everything's that's broke,
Leave it to the breeze,
Why don't you be you?
And I'll be me,
And I'll be me.
"Trying to fit your hand inside of mine,
When we know it just don't belong,
There's no force on earth,
Could make me feel right, no,
Whoa.
"Trying to push this problem up the hill,
When it's just too heavy to hold,
Think now's the time to let it slide.
"So come on let it go,
Just let it be,
Why don't you be you?
And I'll be me.
"Everything's that's broke,
Leave it to the breeze,
Let the ashes fall,
Forget about me.
"Come on let it go,
Just let it be,
Why don't you be you?
And I'll be me.
"And I'll be me."
When she sang 'Happy ending', it made me pretty angry but when she sang this I just felt so hopeless and I hurt so much but under the hurt there was nothing, I just felt numb. And embarrassment I felt so embarrassed. She just left after that. She hurt me so much more than I hurt her. The thing is I did actually love her, and if she was going to be happy with Malfoy then I'd leave her be. I'd let it go, just as she wanted. No matter how much it hurt I let her go.
Dean's POV
It was the day after our meeting in the Room of Requirement and I had a meeting with Alvin and Parkinson and her first year Alexis Johnson. It was really weird with Parkinson lately, because I just didn't know where I stood with her. I couldn't really call us friends as we hardly spoke outside of these meetings. By this point I had admitted to myself that I was acquiring feelings for her, however I if anyone asked I'd obviously lie. Although I'm sure I was more obvious than I wanted to be.
"Hey Thomas." She said coming into the room with Alexis in tow. We were in a spare classroom on the 4th floor of the main Hogwarts building.
"Parkinson," I nodded. Alvin came in late and sat down next to me. The funny thing about the first years is that they call each other by their last names for no reason other than that we do it. Although we do it through years of hating each other, they just do it for the fun of it. So when Alvin addressed Alexis with Johnson even though they knew each other pretty well I had to do my best not to smirk.
"So have you done that timetable, I told you to do?" Parkinson said to Alvin and Alexis, Alexis nodded and got it out and showed her. Alvin looked at her sheepishly as he obviously hadn't done it. "Do it now Alvin." She ordered him.
While he was doing his timetable and Alexis was doing a potions essay for Malfoy, Parkinson asked me to speak with her outside.
"So what do you think?"
"What do I think about what?" I replied confused.
"Them two obviously."
"Parkinson you aren't making any sense what so ever." What was it with girls and half sentences?
"Alvin and Alexis do you think they like each other."
"I haven't really thought about it." I started but she cut in.
"Well think about it now."
"Well I suppose, maybe, but they haven't known each other that long."
"And?"
"Can you like someone you've only known for a few days?"
"Maybe they don't full on like each other yet, but they'll get there. It's a shame really."
"Whats a shame?"
"A Gryffindor and a Slytherin, they probably won't be able to do anything about their feelings."
"Does it matter what house they are in, aren't things changing now?" I knew we were treading on thin ice now.
"Things may be changing, but Alexis' parents are purebloods with a very traditional view of muggle-borns. She's already been promised off to a pureblood Slytherin, her parents won't allow it."
"Would it matter though, surely if she really liked him and he liked her they'd get through it right?" I knew we weren't talking about the first years anymore.
"They won't have a choice her parents would hurt him badly if anything happened between them. They need to be very careful or Alexis could be going to his funeral before a year is out."
Hermione's POV
"Do you not think that was a bit harsh Hermione? I know he hurt you and he shouldn't have proposed but you could have just said no." I know she was right it was a bit harsh but I was going to do it anyway and I wasn't expecting him to propose. I didn't love him anymore, at one point I did but now I didn't. I was too busy battling my feelings for a certain blond haired boy as well and quite frankly he was taking up most of my thought process at the moment. It still shocked me how suddenly it hit me but when I told Ginny she wasn't surprised, at all.
"I know Ginny," I said distractedly. I really didn't know what was up with me lately. Well I did but I didn't want to admit to it.
"Oh and I need to ask you about something."
"Go on," we were sat on my bed in the heads common room. "I'm intrigued." And I was.
"Do you know when Zabini hinted he liked Jasmine when we were in the room of requirements?" Yes I did remember that.
"Yeah?"
"Well I saw his eyes and I knew it was an act. I didn't know if it was an act that he likes Jasmine but him acting all cocky like that, that was an act. He seemed really sad when we had our meeting with the first years."
"Well maybe he does like her and if he's been hurt before he may not want to be hurt again."
"I know he was hurt in a past relationship," I rose my eyebrows but she just said, "Don't ask," So I didn't.
"That may be why then?"
"Yeah I just don't want him to act like a jerk with her because he'll just get hurt even more."
"You seem to care about him."
"I do but, you care about Harry don't you?"
"Yes, he's my best friend, he's like my brother."
"That's how I'm starting to feel about Zabini, we're not best friends yet but I care for him. He's like my brother, I feel about him like how I feel Ron and my other brothers, like how you feel about Harry."
Blaise's POV
"Do you how you told me not to be stubborn with Harry and it worked?" We were in our second weekly meeting and we let the first years go early.
"Yes," What was she getting at?
"If you want Jasmine, be yourself, don't be a jerk. I know you got hurt in the past but be yourself."
"I was myself before and look where that got me."
"That was one girl Blaise," I smirked.
"On a first name basis now? Little Red." I saw her flinch, I thought she'd tell me off but all she said was,
"Fred called me that."
"Oh I won't then if you don't want me to." She surprised me further,
"No its okay, but if anyone else does and I'll kill them. You remind me of Fred a bit." I was nothing like him was I?
"How?" I asked.
"Well, you both gave your heart to a girl who damaged it and were afraid to love again and you both gave me very good advice about a certain black haired green eyed boy."
"What advice did he give?"
"He told me to stop chasing him, to do what I wanted and let him come to me, that he would eventually and he did. Maybe you should take his advice too."
