Hey, I know this isn't Beneath the Surface but I needed a break. And here's my break. Its kinda D/G, and I'm sorry if it kinda sucks……………..but I needed this!!!!
DISCLAIMER: Harry Potter and co ain't mine!!!!
Unchained Melody
"And next is….Mr Potter."
Harry stood up nervously. Wringing his hands he made his way to the front of the hall. He suddenly wished that the auditions were held in private. Especially since nearly the whole school had turned up. Including Draco Malfoy. God, he just knew his life would be hell if he went through with this. But it was too late. He was obligated.

Draco Malfoy sniggered as he heard Professor McGonagal announce that "Mr Potter" would be next up. Harry Potter trying out for the school musical. Draco would never be caught dead in a bloody musical. He had just shown up to watch numerous amounts of Hogwarts students make fools out of themselves. Why? So he had something else to hold against each and every one of them of course. Yes, his life long mission to make others miserable.
'And I'm bloody brilliant at it,' he thought smirking.
Even with his cold demeanour he still managed to have handfuls of girls falling over themselves to get close to him wherever he went. Of course this was nice, and definitely inflated his already enormous ego, but he had to admit he missed being challenged.
His attention snapped back to Potter as McGonagal asked Harry what he would be singing.
"Unchained Melody, Professor," Harry replied shakily.
Draco snorted. The head of Gryfindor house shot him a sharp glare to which he raised an eyebrow at. The music began to play and Draco turned behind him to where Ginny Weasley was sitting.
"Look Weasel, Scarheads going to serenade you. You'd love that wouldn't you."
He smirked maliciously as the timid red head blushed furiously glaring daggers at the platinum blonde.
"Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea"
'He's not too bad,' Draco thought reluctantly.
"Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home, wait for me
Oh, my love, "
'Ha, voice hitched slightly,' Draco smirked.
"my darling
I've hungered for your touch"
A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly "
Draco's smirked wider as his voice started to waver slightly off key.
"Your precious Potter's not all he's cracked up to be, Virgin……..ya," he said rather loudly over his shoulder. He chuckled slightly when he heard her huff behind him.
"And time can do so much
Are you still mine?"
Draco winced as Harry tried but failed to hit a particularly hard note. He noticed with much satisfaction that he wasn't the only one to wince.
"I need your love,
I oh I need your love
God speed your love to me "
"Make him stop," Draco cried in mock despair waving his hands in the air.
"Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home, wait for me
Oh, my love,
my darling
I've hungered, hungered for your touch"
Draco couldn't contain himself and let out a loud laugh as more of the students around him winced at the lack of Harry's musical ability.
McGonagal glared at him but pursed her lips, not wanting to interrupt Harry's performance.
"A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?"
"Are you deaf, Potter?" Draco yelled through the crowd, thoroughly enjoying the-boy-who-lived's obvious discomfort.
"I need your love,
I oh I need your love
God speed your love to me "
Harry blushed furiously as the crowd clapped politely.
Draco gave a standing ovation. "Thank god that's over," he boomed as he smirked smugly at the highly embarrassed Harry Potter.
"Thankyou Mr Potter," McGonagal said politely.
Draco smirked. "Yes, thankyou for bursting our eardrums."
McGonagal spun her head round and glared viciously at the young Malfoy.
"Mr Malfoy," she said sharply, "that is quite enough. You have been nothing but rude and disrespectful throughout Mr Potter's entire audition. I demand that you apologise."
Draco looked at her with narrowed eyes. There was no way in hell he was going to apologise to Potter.
"Now, Mr Malfoy. Or I shall have no choice but to give you detention," she warned.
Draco simply shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and smirked back.
"Fine. You don't think detention is suitable Mr Malfoy?" she asked him.
She stood in thought for a while before a small smile spread across her face.
"Stand up, Mr Malfoy," she demanded.
Draco rolled his eyes and stood up reluctantly. "Great, standing up. Thanks for the punishment," he replied smugly as he started to sit again.
"Come here, Mr Malfoy."
"Why?" he spat daringly at the Professor.
A few of the students gasped. This was of course a regular occurrence, Draco Malfoy talking back to his teachers, but gasping was still required. It was appropriate to the situation after all.
"You are treading on dangerous ground, Malfoy," she said through gritted teeth.
Draco swaggered up to the front, purposely taking his time to agitate McGonagal a bit more.
"You called?" he asked sarcastically. He heard a few of the Slytherins snigger.
McGonagal plastered a fake smile across her face. "You think you can criticise another student for something you are not going to try Mr Malfoy?"
Draco's eyes widened slightly in shock. She wasn't going to make him…….no, she couldn't…….that was just……..well, damn cruel. He flat out refused to sing in public.
"Sing, Mr Malfoy," she said in dead seriousness.
Draco scowled. "No."
"I said sing, Mr Malfoy," she said irritably, and then she added in a tone only he would hear, "or your father will hear about it."
Draco glared at her. If his father found out about this……he'd rather not think about it. Although Lucius Malfoy condoned his son being an arrogant prick to his fellow students, he did not find it amusing when Draco practised it on his Professors. Draco had no idea why. His father was an arrogant prick to everyone and anyone. Why should he be any different?
Draco smirked. He knew he was better than Potter. But singing was so….so…well, something Malfoy's didn't do. But just this once…….
"Fine. I will sing," he said loudly stepping over to where Harry had been moments before.
He could hear girls giggling and noticed Harry and Ron guffawing loudly at the prospect of Draco Malfoy singing "Unchained Melody" in front of the entire school.
Draco narrowed his eyes. He was going to prove he was better than Potter.
The hall fell silent as Draco started singing.
"Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home, wait for me"
Ginny Weasley snapped her head up. He was good. There was no doubt he was tons better than Harry.
"Oh, my love,
my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time"
Draco decided to have a little fun with this. He smirked and began to walk down the hall, winking arrogantly at the swooning girls in the audience.
"And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?"
He paused when he got to Virginia Weasley. Whatever possessed him to do that was beyond him but he just let himself go with it. He got down on his knees and sang to her.
"I need your love,
I oh I need your love
God speed your love to me"
He took her hand and pulled her up into the aisle and spun her round slowly, smirking inwardly at how much she was blushing, and how he could see the horrified expressions of Potter and her brother out of the corner of his eye.
"Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home, wait for me"
Draco took her by the waist and dipped her quickly, chuckling slightly as she gasped in surprise.
"Oh, my love,
my darling I've hungered, hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love,
I oh I need your love
God speed your love to me"
Draco looked around smugly at the astonished faces surrounding him. He had hit every single note perfectly. Not only that, his voice was too good to be true.
He gazed down at the startled Ginny Weasley and kissed her soundly on the lips before turning round and bowing to the crowd.
"See ya in Transfiguration Professor," he called to a rather shell shocked McGonagal.
Just as he was about to exit the hall, McGonagal stopped him.
"Mr Malfoy," she called, "the lead role in this play is yours."
Draco froze.
"Excuse me?" he asked raising an eyebrow.
"You don't want it?" she asked him, ignoring the titters of the students whispering to each other behind their hands.
"No," he replied truthfully.
"Very well," McGonagal replied. Draco, thinking he had been let off the hook, nodded and turned towards the door again.
"Your punishment is to play the lead role in this play, Mr Malfoy."
Draco groaned and left the hall, which was now buzzing with excitement at the recent display. But before he left he was almost certain he heard Virginia Weasley mutter something dazedly. Something that oddly enough sounded like, "the bloody git kissed me."
He chuckled slightly before letting out a string of curses at the thought of being the lead role in the Hogwart's musical.
A musical.
And the verdict is…………………………
Review and tell me what ya think! This is basically a one shot but if you want more then you have to review and let me know okey dokey! If I continue it will definitely be a D/G. I wouldn't dream of writing a fic that wasn't!
