Harry and Ron found out about Hermione and Draco. Stupid Ginny, Hermione thought to herself. But, she knew they would find out eventually. She got a HUGE big brother speech for it. The fantastic four now became the fantastic five. Draco started hanging around with them all the time. He put on a visibly fake smile and attitude when Harry and Ron and Ginny were around. Hermione was getting LOADS of attention from the school. It was like going out with Draco automatically made you the most popular girl in school. Not that she didn't LOVE the attention. The five had decided go to Hogsmeade on Saturday, sneak out of the town as the rest were leaving, and stick around to go to one of the local clubs. The plan went as flawlessly as they had planned it. They entered the club, and found many other's that they knew that had the same idea they did.
"Hey all!" Dean Thomas yelled over the loud music. "Here for Karaoke?" he asked.
"We hadn't planned it! But we are now!" Ginny yelled as she grabbed the rest of the gang to look at the music selection. The all picked a song and sat down with their newly ordered drinks to wait their turn.
"Could we have Hermione and Ginny come up here and take the stage?" Came a voice over the speakers.
"That's us!" Hermione exclaimed. "Wish us luck!" There was a good luck from each of the boys as the girls ran to the stage.
As they took the stage, there were many cat calls from the men in the bar. They weren't wearing much in the way of clothes. As the music started up there was a quick cheer, then it died down.
**Dignified in what she does, when she sings the smile that she brings to all of you unaware of what's to come.** Came Hermione's beautiful voice.
**I said tell me what's to come!** Ginny came is as back up.
**Green is the colour of my envy. It's the colour of fame, so I'm gonna write it down, to scream it out and I'm never gonna be the same again.**
**Again, again.**
**Fear is the colour you're all exposed, now I gotta get up here and prove the importance, of my clothes, of my pose, I supposed.**
The girls continued their song, Hermione as the front woman, and Ginny doing backup.
**Soon my face will be on every magazine, and then my voice will be on every frequency. Take my heart, while you're at it why don't you sign me up to sell me out. I my angel till death I do. I saw my first angel and it was YOU!**
Hermione finished the song making eye contact with Ron, and then moving to Draco. Why Ron? She thought to herself. She was with Draco, not Ron. She loved Draco. Or did she? Her thought were interrupted as Ginny began her song. Her voice was a little shaky at first, but it evened out almost immediately.
**Lying in my bed, I hear the clock tick, and I think of you. Caught up on circles, confusion is nothing new. Flashback, warm nights, almost left behind. Suitcases of memories, time after time. Sometimes you picture me, I'm waking too far ahead. You're calling to me, I can't hear what you've said. The you say go slow, and I fall behind. The second hand unwinds.**
Hermione glanced at Harry as Ginny was singing. His star was unbreakable. He followed her as she walked up and down the stage, and she danced, his eyes were on her.
**If you're lost you can look and you will find me, time after time. If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting, time after time. Time after time. Time after time. Time after time.**
As the song wore down Ginny met Harry's eyes. She sang as she started at him.
"Harry Potter! You're UP!" the voice came. Harry snapped out of his daze and got up and walked to the stage. He gave Ginny and hug as they passed and he could see them exchanging a few words.
The music started and Harry cleared his voice. He looked very nervous, squinting into the bright spot light. As soon as the music started, it was like he was a natural singer.
**You make it hard to breathe. It's as if I'm suffocating, and when you're next to me, I can feel your heartbeat through my skin. It makes me sad to think, this all could be for nothing. I wish there was a way for you to see inside of me. I've never felt this way about anyone or anything. Tell me. What do I have to do to make you happy? What do I have to do to make you understand? What do I have to do to make you want me? And, if I can't make you want me. What do I have to do?**
Ron and Hermione watched Ginny at the bar. Her drink, forgotten at her lips as she watche Harry sing. She watched him stroll across the stage. Every so often he would send her a look. It was like it was piercing her.
"When do you think they are gonna hook up?" Hermione commented nudging Ron.
"Soon, hopefully. I don't know how much longer I can take the tension!"
Hermione and Draco went up to the bar to get a drink and heard the man over the stereo call Ron up to the stage. Hermione hurried back to the table so she could watch him.
"Way to go Harry! You were awesome!" Hermione congratulated him as he came to the table.
"Where's Ginny?" He asked not seeing her at the table.
"At the bar." Draco pointed her out.
"Thanks!" Harry said and set off in the direction Draco had pointed.
"It's almost sickening!" Hermione said laughing. "OH! Shh... there's Ron." Draco stared longingly at her as she looked to Ron. Would he ever have her full attention? Was the Malfoy charm not enough to win her over? Was she truly worth all this trouble!? A girl that didn't like her? He thought to himself, she couldn't be worth it, he would find someone more worth his time.
**Since the moment I spotted you, like walking round with little wings on my shoes. My stomach filled with the butterflies, and it's alright. Bouncing from cloud to cloud. I go the feeling like I'm never going to come down. If you said I didn't like it then you know I'd lied.**
For a moment their eye's met. Ron's scared eyes suddenly looked more confident. Hermione's eyes became even more playful as she looked up at him.
**Every time I try to talk to you, I get tongue-tied. Seems like everything I say to you comes out wrong, and never comes out right. So I'll say why don't you and I get together and take on the world, and be together forever. Heads we will and tails we'll try again. So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon, and straight on the heaven. Cause without you they're never going to let me in. And slowly I begin to realize this is never going to end. Right about the same you walk by and I say 'Oh here we go again'.**
He finished his song, and received great applause from Hermione.
"I think I'm gonna get going now." Draco said, just as His and Hermione's names were called for their duet.
"Just this one!" she pleaded with him.
"Alright!" He sighed. The went up to the stage.
**Look for me! Young, B, Cruisin down the Westside - high, way doing what we like to do - our, was eyes behind shades. This necklace the reason all of my dates bee blind dates. But today, I go my thoroughness girl wit me. I'm mashin the gas, she's grabbin the wheel, it's true to the heart she rides with me - the new Bobby and Whitney. Only time we don't speak is during 'Sex and the City'.**
Draco continued with his singing with Hermione on back up. Then it was her turn.
**If I was your girlfriend I'll be there for you, if somebody hurts you. Even if that somebody was me. Yeah-hee. Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be. And so I put this on my life. Nobody of nothing will ever come between us. And I promise I'll gibe my life and all of my trust if you was my boyfriend. Put this on my life. The air that I breathe in, all that I believe in I promise I'll give my life and all of my trust if you was my boyfriend.**
As Draco watched Hermione finished the last verse of the song, he realized that she didn't truly want to be with him. He wasn't very hurt that the few day fling was over, but aggravated that his time was wasted. Hermione wanted to be with Ron. He saw it in their eyes, the duet was supposed to be between Hermione and Draco, but he knew the words were directed at the red haired boy that was staring so deeply at her. The two finished the song.
"I'm really tired." He threw in a fake yawn to prove his point. "I'm gonna get back up to the castle."
"No! Don't go!" She pleaded with him as she wrapped her arms around his waist.
"I'll see you tomorrow." He kissed her passionately, and walked out of the bar. Hermione returned to the stage for her solo song.
**Well it's a marvellous night for a moondance. With the starts up above in your eyes. A fantabulous night to make romance. 'Neath the cover of the October skies. And all the leaves on the trees are falling. To the sound of the breezes that blow. And I'm trying to please to the calling. Of your heart-strings that play soft and low. You know the night's magic. Seems to whisper and hush. And all the soft moonlight. Seems to shine in your blush...**
She was hurt that Draco had left before her solo. She wanted to impress him. But she found another face in the crowd to sing to.
**Can I just have one a'more moondance with you, my love? Can I just make some more romance with a'you my love?**
The eyes of the face were glued to her. Every move, they were still staring back.
**One more moondance with you, in the moonlight. On a magic night, la, la, la, la, there's a moonlight. On a magic night. Can I just have one more dance with you my love?**
The music wound down and she starred into Ron's eyes. They were deep, intense. She didn't want to break the stare, but she knew she could not stand there forever starring at him. As she reached the table she found the Harry had become totally hammered. Ron threw back a quite a few shots over the never few songs. He was preparing for his duet with Harry.
"Harry Potter and Ron Weasley!" Their names were called over the speakers.
The two stumble up to the stage with great trouble. The crowd roared with laughter, as Hermione Ginny covered their faces in embarrassment.
**I am he, as you are he, as you are me and we are all together!**
Harry slurred the song, which gave its comic words greater effect.
**See how we run like pigs from a gun, see how we FLY!**
Ron jumped from the stage, and continued to sing.
**I'm crying.**
Harry took over.
**Sitting on a cornflake, I'm waiting for the van to come. Corporation t-shit, stupid bloody Tuesday. Man, you've been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.**
Ron returned to the stage and took over.
**I am the egg man. We are the egg men, I am the WALRUS! Coo coo ca choo. Mister city, policeman sitting. Pretty little policeman in a row. See how they fly like Lucy in the sky, see how we run. I'm crying! I'm cry, I'm crying.**
The two boys continued their antics through the song, and made their way back to their table.
"I think it's about time we left!" Hermione giggled as Ron draped himself over her, unable to carry his own weight.
"Good idea!!" Ginny laughed carrying Harry towards the door.
The four made their way to the castle. It was a wonder how they weren't caught. The boys continued to sing as the entered the castle. The girls couldn't help but laugh at them. The girls carried the boys to their rooms, put some water and Tylenol beside their beds for in the morning, they would be needing it.
"Hey all!" Dean Thomas yelled over the loud music. "Here for Karaoke?" he asked.
"We hadn't planned it! But we are now!" Ginny yelled as she grabbed the rest of the gang to look at the music selection. The all picked a song and sat down with their newly ordered drinks to wait their turn.
