Talent Contest

Disclaimer: I own nothing except the plot.

The Common Room was crowded. Full of everyone from Gryffindor House. Ron, Harry and Hermione inched forward in to the ever-shortening crowd around the notice board. Gasps. Squeals and audible bad language and groans were heard from the students.

After ten minutes of waiting they threesome finally reached the Notice Board were a bright, sparkling poster was pinned up. The poster read:



Calling all Fourth Year Students and Above.

Hogwarts School will be holding its very own talent show.

All those who wish to enter the show are to gather tomorrow in the Charms Room.

There are only fifteen places so be prepared to have to wow the judges.

The talents of this show are not limited, but anything of inappropriate behavior will be at once disragarded, so be forewarned.

Yours Sincerely,

Albus Dumbledore.

Headmaster.



The friends stared at the poster for a moment longer before walking away totally flabbergasted.

" Well, what do you think?" Harry asked his friends.

" I think that Professor Dumbledore has done this in an effort to lift everyone's spirits. I think that we should all enter. I mean come on we need to have a laugh once in a while. We qualify; we are in year five. It'll be fun. Come on." Ron said, "we might not even get in and if we do it'll just be for a laugh." Ron added the last part at seeing their aghast faces.

" You know I think Ron could be right. What else have we got to look forward to or even have a laugh at? Everyone is going through hell with Voldermort.."

"Don't say his name" Hissed Ron.

"Fine you know who. Let's give it a shot." Harry asked Hermione.

She looked at her best friends and boyfriends face. She could clearly see that they wanted to do it. She saw the truth behind what they were saying. And when Ron looked into her eyes and said please in the cutest way how could she refuse? She could feel butterflies in her stomach as Ron asked her again. Finally she relented.

"Okay you got me. I give in. Yes, we will enter," Hermione said in response to their pleads. The boys high fived each other and started discussing what they were going to do. Hermione went back to herbooks to show the boys that she wasn't that intrested, but her thoughts were really on the talent contest.

" I'm gonna sing." Hermione said in a quiet, timid voice. So quiet that the boys only just heard her.

"Really?"Ron asked.

"Yeah. I used to go to singing lessons. I'm not good but I cant think of what else to do." Hermione explainedto Ron and Harry. " what are you going to do?"

"Ahh, that's a secret. You'll just have to find out." Ron replied secretly then as an afterthought. "that is if we get through tomorrow."
