Hello everyone, I have deiced that, perhaps I might enjoy a little, "adventure" into a singing contest fic, now, after much MUCH consideration, I have decided in some way I am going to be able to get everyone together, that I can with out them killing one another…..so here we go….
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Well, all I can say is that at least we get out of potions with this." A rather tall red headed freckled boy spoke up as he walked with his most trusted confidants.
"But I was actually looking."
"Hermione, it's Snape, how can you look forward to that?" He said again leaving Harry to daydream off on his own, their bickering would continue on until they went to sleep, and he was sure they dreamed of fighting even then.
A singing contest, perhaps this wouldn't be such a horrid thing. It could even be some fun, and after this year's unpleasantness, it would be well appreciated. Even the teachers had gotten into the act. Flitwick had given them a couple of charms that would help them with quick memorization of lyrics and even "never step out of line" Mcgonagall had helped them out by teaching them a couple of temporary hair and clothing changing spells. Maybe Hermione was right when she said she had a soft heart.
The night came before they knew it, and, the whole of the student body was corralled into a rather strange room, and while it looking like the great hall, seemed different, and it was more than just the stage that did this. As Ron commented, it felt like you were only seeing half of what you got, but none the less, the sat down at what they assumed was only half off what they were getting themselves into.
They took a seat at what they assumed was the Gryffindor table; perhaps it was the scarlet banners with the golden lion above the table that tipped them off. Harry and the rest had no intention of getting on the stage, but, still when the appetizers appeared on the table, ranging from popcorn to cockroach clusters, the night seemed to take a turn for the best.
But, it was getting stranger by the moment. After everyone had sit down for a few moments the curtain hiding what they thought was only a stage, but as their own curtain rose another behind it did the same the exposes a mirror of the room the were sitting in, but, how could that be.
"Who are those people?" Hermione asked.
"I don't know, and they seem to be thinking the same about us," Harry commented referring to the fact that the two sides were pointing at one another and whispering into neighbors ears.
As though he knew it would be the only way to calm to calm the crowds, Dumbledore marched out and began to talk to the two crowds, which was proving harder than he obviously expected, considering it is rude to talk to people with your back turned to them.
"Hello, and I would like to welcome you to the first, and second annual contest of voices"
"First and Second? Has the man gone bloody mad?" Ron piped in.
"And now, at first we where going to start out this with just a single person with a song, but, when these two girls saw each other, and explained their problem in their battle to go first. They realized perhaps a Duet would do best"
He flashed a smile to Harry quickly before turning and doing the same to someone in the other crowd.
Slowly to girls, one slightly taller than the other, possibly even a year older, but both blessed with hair of flame. The pair, in white robes took the center stage and stood back to back the younger one facing them. Harry tilted his head a little tiring to figure out who the girl was, she was beautiful, no doubt, but who was she.
The shorter of the two began and sing with the voice of angels….
There's so much life
I've left to live
And this fire's burning still
When I watch you look at me
"That voice sounds so familiar, but, it couldn't be" Ron mumbled.
The other took over…
I think I could find a way
To stand for every dream
Forsake this solid ground
"I remember that voice from long ago, but, it's impossible" Harry said back
The shorter….
And give up this fear within
"but she sure it pretty," Harry continued.
Taller…
Of what would happen if they ever knew
"They both are" Hermione said.
Both
Cause I'm in love with you
'Cause I'd surrender everything
To feel the chance, to live again
"You guys, the shorter one is Ginny!" Ron squeaked out
Taller
I reach to you
"GINNY!"
Ginny
I know you can feel it too
"But then…who?"
Both
We'd make it through
A thousand dreams I still believe
"She is singing to you Harry"
Ginny
I'd make you give them all to me
Harry looking up into the eyes as the poured out all their owners' feelings, he felt something he hadn't felt before this.
Taller
I'd hold you in my arms and never let go
"But who is the other girl"
Both
I surrender
I know
"I don't know"
Ginny
I can't survive another night away from you
You're the reason I go on
And now I need to live the truth
Harry on the other hand was no longer paying attention to anything they said and had his eyes fixed on the girl on the stage pouring her heart out to get him to even notice her.
Taller
Right now, there's no better time
From this fear, I will break free
And I'll live again with love
Both
And know they can't take that away from me
And they will see... yeah
I'd surrender everything
To feel the chance, to live again
Shorter
I reach to you
Taller
I know you can feel it too
Both
We'd make it through
Taller
A thousand dreams I still believe
Both
I'll make you give them all to me
Ginny
I'll hold you in my arms and never let go
Both
I surrender
Every night getting longer
And this voice's getting stronger baby
Taller
I'll swallow my pride
Ginny
And I'll be alive
Both
Can't you hear my call?
I surrender...
(I'll surrender everything)
(To feel the chance, to live again)
Ginny
I reach to you
Taller
I know you can feel it too
Both
We'll make it through
Taller
A thousand dreams I still believe
Both
I'll make you give them all to me
Ginny
I'll hold you in my arms and never let go
Both
I surrender
Ginny
Right here,
Taller
Right now
Both
I'd give my life to live again
I'll break free
Take me, my everything
Taller
I surrender all to you
(Right now)
Ginny
Right now
(I'd give my life to live again)
Taller
I'd give my life
(I'll break free, Take me)
Ginny
Take me, take me
(My everything)
Taller
My everything
(I surrender all to you, right now)
Ginny
Right now
(I'd give my life to live again)
Both
I'd give my life to you baby
I'll break free, yeah free
The crowd erupted into cheers as the two girls turned to one another and hugged, and that is when they saw the other girls eyes, every other part over her looked like Ginny, but, the eyes, Harry's eyes. "It's it's"
"Lily Evans and Ginny Wesley," Dumbledore said he walked back out on to the stage, "Now remember it is open to new comers, so, if you have any emotions that need to be expressed, please, come and tell us, and we'll find a song to say it"
