Tragic Tales of Teenagers
Chapter Seven
Talent Show
That night, everyone separated into groups. They spent the rest of the day planning their acts. Their only real break was for dinner. Allie had invited David. Snape and Lucius joined them all. They ate at Pete's Pizza Parlor. Snape commented on Hermione's rather revealing shirt. It was a see through top that exposed her bra. He said it was a little inappropriate but then Fred reminded him that they weren't at school.
Lucius was watching Draco watch Whitley. Lucius didn't mind Draco liking Whitley because he too thought she was a nice girl. But he didn't like him making puppy dog eyes and acting love struck all the time. He thought it wasn't very manly. However, Lucius didn't know that Whitley was Muggle born.
David was sitting beside Allie. His hand was on her knee most of the time. All through dinner he was whispering things in her ear that made her giggle and blush. Ron looked across the table at them. Even though Ron liked Allie a lot, he was glad she was happy again. He was so sad for her when Oliver dumped her. He looked at Hermione. She had a bit of pizza sauce on her face. He chuckled and wiped it off for her.
Snape was beginning to feel sick to his stomach with all of this puppy love. He told Molly he needed to leave because he had something important to attend to. He quickly got up and left.
The next day, everyone went into an empty theater to begin their show.
Libbie walked onto the stage and announced the first act. Fred and George Weasley will be singing to Shaggy's 'It Wasn't Me'. Fred and George sang really well. They weren't trying to be funny or anything. At one point, they were even break dancing. After the beginning of the song, Hermione and Allie came out in some mini shorts and tube tops and started dancing with them.
"Honey came in and she caught me red-handed creeping with the girl next door," Fred sang.
"Picture this we were both butt-naked bangin' on the bathroom floor," sang George.
At the end of their song, Molly stood up clapping and hollered, "That's my boys!"
Bill, Charlie, and Percy came out and sang 'It's Gonna Be Me' by 'N Sync. "Every little thing I do - Never seems enough for you!" They even had a whole dance routine planned out.
Ron and Harry sang to 'Get This Party Started' by Pink. "Pumpin' up the volume -Breakin; down to the beat!" Both of the boys were dressed as girls. Ron was wearing tight pink leather pants and a white tank top. Harry was wearing a strapless dress and high-heels. They were dancing really weird. When Harry bent over to bow at the end of the song, he ripped the back of his dress and ran of the stage in a fit of laughter.
Oliver and Draco did a fight scene. They had rigged everything so that their fighting looked real and blood and bruises appeared wherever they touched each other. It was very gruesome but the small crowd cheered for them both when it was over.
Then was Whitley, Allie, Libbie, and Ginny. They sang 'Lady Marmalade'. They wore outfits just like the ones in the music video. Arthur was shocked that his own daughter was wearing something like that.
Afterwards, Hermione was the final act. No one knew what she had planned. When she came on stage, 'Genie In A Bottle' by Christina Aguilera came on. Hermione started pole dancing. She had on only panties and a bra. The lights dimmed and some strobe lights came on. Everyone except for Ron looked at her in disgust. She even started stripping. Oliver came and pulled her off stage before things got too dirty.
"What the hell were you thinking?" screamed Percy. "Those were our parents out there! Adults and teachers from Hogwarts! I had no idea you were that big of a slut! No go and get some clothes on you dirty rat!"
Hermione ran off crying just as Molly Weasley came around backstage.
"I think we all know Hermione is having some issues right now. The hair, the different clothing style, the attitude..." Molly began.
"And she tried to drown herself," Ron said quietly.
"What? Why didn't you tell us before?" asked Molly.
"I thought she would be better," Ron said.
Molly ran off for Hermione.
"Okay, hands up if you don't want to continue living with the crazy lady!" Ginny called. Allie raised her hand.
"You girls can stay with us," Harry said.
"No, it wouldn't be appropriate. They can stay where they are. I'm sure Hermione will be going to the hospital or something," Charlie said.
Oliver put his hand on Whitley's shoulder. "You guys want to go for some ice cream?"
Everyone said yes and they headed out of the theater. They of course changed back into their regular clothes first. Harry chose to keep on his ripped dress though.
He got odd looks at the ice cream place. Everyone sat down and ate their ice creme. Oliver and Whitley shared a sundae. They even held hands as they walked home. Before Whitley went into the girl's bedroom, he kissed her on the cheek. Allie didn't know what was going on.
"Whitley, what's up with you and Oliver?" Allie asked.
"What do you mean?" Whitley replied.
"You are acting like you are dating!" Allie exclaimed. "Please don't tell me you're dating my ex!"
"No! We're friends, I wouldn't do that to you! We are just really good friends. We've known each other ever since we were little. That's all, I promise," Whitley said. Allie smiled and apologized for suspecting her. She knew her friend would never really do something like that. But still, in the back of her mind she had a little bit of doubt.
The next night, Allie stayed in her room while everyone else went to a beach party. Allie walked outside by the pool. David's head popped up out of no where in the water. Both of them screamed.
"What are you doing here?" Allie exclaimed.
"Skinny dipping!" David said. He swam to the edge of the pool where Allie was and tugged on her leg so that she fell in.
"David!" she laughed. He grinned and splashed some water at her. He jumped up and on top of her. His weight caused her to fall back into the water. They sunk in the water, hugging each other. David kissed her neck softly. She smiled and pushed herself back to the surface.
"OK, you can let go now," Allie said. But David didn't want to let go.
