Disclaimer: *to the tune of Dido's "Here With Me"* Oh I own who I own. They'll do what I want, but they can't hide! They won't go. They won't sleep. They won't breathe until they're in my story! *music stops* Sorry about that! Anyway, all new characters are mine. All original characters (Draco, Hermione, Snape, etc.) are from the brilliant mind of J.K. Rowling.

(A/N) My reviewers are the best! Thanks for reviewing. I'm not going to tell say anything about my future chapters! They'll ruin my story if you knew what happens, then you'll stop reading and reviewing, and I'll be sad! Anyway, thanks for your wonderful reviews! Oh and if anyone gets confused by the story- e-mail me and I'll try to clear everything up. On with the show!

Chapter Sixteen: Eyes on the Prize

Arissa

I'm disappointed that we aren't going to see the ghosts perform this year, but I'm excited about the karaoke contest! Silver Dream has officially begun!

Instead of spending our free hour in the library, Silver Dream practiced in the Common Room, knowing full well that all the other Gryffindors would be either in classes or in the library. They all knew we were practicing and basically, they left us alone. We practiced until our harmonies were perfect. After about three tries, we finally had it down.

"Wait! What are we going to wear?" Jordan asked.

All four of them turned towards me, expecting an idea.

"I got it!" I exclaimed. "We all wear Unicorn Blood nail polish, wear all black with silver accessories!" (A/N Think Revlon's LilyChrome nail polish. I swear it looks just like unicorn blood!)

A look of wonder crossed Simone's face. "It works! Silver, because it's in our name. Black, because it looks good with silver."

I grinned. "Simone, you and I both have the nail polish. We can do everyone's nails."

"I could do everyone's hair," Jordan offered.

"Sounds good to me," Lisa said.

Christina nodded. "I've always had this feeling that you two could organize everything in a matter of minutes."

We all had a good laugh about it. "So, after the karaoke contest, what is Silver Dream going to do?" I asked.

Silence reigned throughout the Common Room as all of us searched for an answer.

Christina broke the silence. "We're still going to be together. Maybe we'll sing for the Wizarding Wireless Network!"

"Do you think we'll win?" Jordan asked.

"I think we will!" Lisa said. "Then Saturday, Simone and Arissa will kick some Slytherin butt in Quidditch!"

We laughed again. "Forget Quidditch!," Simone said. "We'll be famous. Silver Dream will be a reality."

The portrait door swung open, revealing Adrian. "You're still practicing? We have Transfiguration in fifteen minutes!" he said.

"We'll be right there," Lisa said, blushing.

He nodded and left, leaving us a chance to annoy Lisa.

"What?" she asked innocently.

"You have a crush on Adrian!" Jordan said.

"I do not!" she retorted.

"Oh, yes, you do," I said.

"It's written all over your face," Simone informed her.

She blushed even more, turning a deep scarlet. "Stop it! I do not have a crush on Adrian!"

"Sure you don't!" Christina said.

"Hey, Lisa, maybe after Silver Dream performs in the karaoke contest, Adrian will be your prize!" I exclaimed.

I never knew someone can turn a deeper red than scarlet. "Shut up!"

"All right, girls! Leave Lisa alone," Simone said. "We have to go to Transfiguration."

We all sighed, except Lisa, who was still blushing.

"I know, I know. I want to keep practicing, but we need to be in class, or McGonagall will think that we died or something," Simone added.

"She's right. Either that, or McGonagall will take points from Gryffindor for skipping class," I said.

We filed out of the Common Room.

"Just keep your eyes on the prize!" Jordan said as we entered McGonagall's room. "Eyes on the prize."

(A/N) I know, this chapter was short, but there wasn't much to write about. Anyway, review!
