Been waiting for the ACTUAL Talent Quest?? Well, here it is! NOTE: I'm really sorry if you think Harry Potter is a hero, but please...what can he actually do? What has he done? Everyone else does all the work for him- lazy bugger! ===================================================================

"Hi, I'm Oliver Wood!" (Moans from crowd)..."and I'll be your host for tonight's Talent Quest!!" *cheering* "First up we have....NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM!! Please give Neville a round of applause!" Neville tripped on the way up to the stage. He lay flat for a few minutes, got up and bowed. "I hope you liked my act," he said. Confusion followed.

"And....now we have SEAMUS FINNIGAN!!- this is supposed to be good by the way.....SEAMUS, COME ON DOWN!!" *applause* Oliver placed a feather in front of Seamus. Seamus raised his wand. "Wingardium Leviosa!" The feather exploded, singing Seamus' skin, where his eyebrows had once been.

"WOW! EXCELLENT!" Oliver exclaimed as the crowd cheered. "Now, here's something different- HERMIONE GRANGER, COME ON DOWN!!" Groans from crowd

"Hi everyone! *nervous, blushing* Today I'm here to teach you study skills...." "GET OFF THE STAGE!!" the crowd chorused.

Hermione *sobbing* made her way down from the stage, handing out handwritten study guides as she went. There were a lot of paper aeroplanes in the air after that....

"AND, HARRY POTTER- show us your meeting with Voldemort!" "How...how could you be so cruel? It still haunts me... sometimes ..... at night I have nightmares about it...." Harry's voice trailed off. Hermione's sobbing increased. "Hmmm...interesting....So. What have you got for us today?"

"Well...I thought since I'm so great, I could do something really exciting for you....but there's so much to choose from...I have so many talents."

"Well, what are they?" Oliver asked, really interested in the answer.

"Well...I can dodge fire on a broomstick and I can run through empty hedge tunnels really fast and fight the non-existent monsters in it at the same time!!" he flexed his muscles.

"Yes, what ELSE?" "Hmm...here, let me show you.." Harry begins to run around on the stage.

"GET OFF THE STAGE!!" The crowd begins to throw things at Harry but Harry is skilled at dodging things and dodges uncontrollably. Ron gets excited (not in that way) and yells "WAIT! MY ACT IS COMBINED WITH HARRY'S!!" "Yeah!" yells the crowd.

Ron runs up on stage and stands in the corner, his face hidden in the shadows. The crowd stares expectantly at him while Harry continues dodging the objects which are now non-existent. "I'm watching." says Ron proudly, his face is red with further pride.

Hermione dives from the crowd to lie protectively in front of Harry, who dodges Hermione and continues weaving.

Harry, Ron and Hermione are eventually swept off stage by Parvarti's levitating and pushing brooms act. (This was obviously an on-the-spot addition to the program.)

Oliver clears his throat; "And next up we'll have DRACO MALFOY!!"
Oooohh.... SUSPENSE....... What will Draco do? I could tell you....BUT NO! You will have to read the next chapter!! (I'm sorry to put you through so much pain). In the next chapter we have an interesting act from Pansy Parkinson..........wait and see!
