Chapter Eight
Hermione quickly stood and gathered her things and headed to Gryffindor Tower. 'I wonder what I am going to do now! I mean, Malfoy doesn't want to give up, but it is a hopeless cause if you ask me. Sigh I suppose I will endure it for a bit longer. What do I have to lose?' she thought. Hermione didn't realize she was at the portrait already until she heard the fat lady ask her for the password. Hermione muttered the password and the portrait swung forward.
Hermione dumped her books in her room and looked at her appearance. 'Maybe I should change. At least change my shirt to something with a little color. Nothing too drastic.' She thought and looked in her trunk. She pulled out a light blue shirt with a heart on it. She replaced the white one with this and threw the jacket back on and put on some blue flip- flops. She smiled and headed down to the foyer.
Draco's POV
I was standing in the entry hall waiting for Potter, Chang, and Granger. I could not believe I agreed to this. Oh well, Granger isn't all that bad I suppose, for a Mudblood anyway. I looked over and saw Chang walking towards me. I flashed her my smile that make girls go weak in the knees. I laughed inwardly at her reaction to it. She walked over and we started conversing.
Cho's POV {a/n: I know, this is a first!}
I was walking down the stairs and saw Draco waiting downstairs. I proceeded down the steps and walked toward him. He saw me and flashed me a smile. I couldn't help but go weak in the knees. Why did I ever dump him for Harry anyway? I mean, Draco was way hotter. Then we started conversing and I remembered. this is why I broke up with him. He wasn't in love with me, but in love with himself. He did talk about that Hermione girl a lot in the short time we were talking though. I thought it was a bit suspicious that they should get together right after we broke up, but I guess he actually does like her. Well, that's good. I just wonder how Hermione stands him. After a few minutes, Hermione came walking down the stairs followed by Harry. I wonder what Harry was doing walking with her. well, I guess it's okay. they are friends after all. Sigh this is going to be a long day.
Hermione, Harry, Draco, and Cho all walked out of the school following the rest of the students. They didn't say a word until they piled into the carriages and set off for Hogsmeade.
Draco sat down next to Cho across from Hermione. Harry came in and saw Draco sitting next to his girlfriend and glared at him, but still took the seat next to Hermione. Hermione shot Draco a questioning glance but he just smirked.
"So, Mal." Harry started but with a look from Hermione corrected himself. "I mean, Draco. This should be fun, eh?" he said, trying not to sound hateful. He glanced at Cho and she smiled at him. Harry smiled back feebly.
"Yes, it probably will be Pot. I mean er. Harry." Draco said and sat back and put his hands behind his head. No one else said anything for the rest of the ride.
Finally the carriages came to a stop and the four of them piled out. Hermione sighed. Harry, Cho, Draco, and Hermione all walked through the gates into Hogsmeade.
"Where to first?" Cho asked brightly.
"I think we should go Honeyduke's/Zonko's!" Draco and Harry said at the same time. Hermione groaned. She should have seen this coming. Hermione looked over at Cho and Cho rolled her eyes at the guys. Hermione mouthed to her 'Three broomsticks' and she nodded.
"No, we're going to go to the Three Broomsticks first. Then, I don't we can flip a coin to see where we go after. Sound good?" Hermione said, already walking toward the Three Broomsticks. Draco and Harry had no choice but to follow.
Hermione walked up to the door and saw a sign. It said:
Karaoke Contest
A karaoke contest will be held here from the hours of 11:30AM- 12:30PM. The winners of the contest will each receive a prize in galleons and a recording contract. The contest is with pairs, so pick a song and try your luck!
Hermione smiled at the paper and walked inside the pub and the others followed behind. They all sat down and Harry and Cho went to get butterbeers. Hermione turned to Draco.
"Are you a good singer?" she asked. Draco looked at her and raised an eyebrow.
"I suppose so, why?" he asked, suspicious. Hermione just smiled at him, but didn't say a word. After a few minutes she stood up and walked over to a table to sign her and Draco up. She signed her name and sat down again.
Harry and Cho came back with the drinks and they all sipped their butterbeers listening to the various contestants. After one act the man stood on stage again to announce the next pair.
"Next up, ladies and gentlemen! We have Miss Hermione Granger and Mr. Draco Malfoy!" Draco, who was sipping his butterbeer, took a spit-take. Much to the displeasure of Harry, who was sitting across from him. He looked over at Hermione, incredulous.
"You signed us up to play karaoke?" he asked, completely shocked.
"Yup." Hermione replied simply and dragged him toward the stage.
"Now, Miss Granger and Mr. Malfoy will be signing 'I Got You Babe'." He announced. Draco looked over at Hermione pleadingly. She just smiled. The music started.
Hermione: They say we're young and we don't know we won't find out until we grow
Draco: Well I don't know if all that's true 'cause you got me, and baby I got you
Draco: Babe Both: I got you babe. I got you babe.
Hermione: They say our love won't pay the rent before it's earned our money's all been spent Draco: I guess that's so, we don't have a pot. But at least I'm sure of all the things we got
Draco: Babe Both: I got you babe. I got you babe.
Draco: I got flowers in the spring I got you to wear my ring. Hermione: And when I'm sad, you're a clown. And if I get scared, you're always around. So let them say your hairs too long, 'Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong. Draco: Then put your little hand in mine, there ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb
Draco: Babe Both: I got you babe. I got you babe.
Draco: I get you to hold my hand Hermione: I got you to understand Draco: I got you to walk with me Hermione: I got you to talk with me Draco: I got to kiss you goodnight Hermione: I got you to hold me tight Draco: I got you, I won't let go Hermione: I got you to love me so
Both: I got you babe. I got you babe. I got you babe. I got you babe. I got you babe.
Hermione and Draco looked out at the audience and everyone stood and applauded. They walked off the stage and sat down. Hermione looked over at Draco.
"What?" he asked.
"I didn't know you were such a great singer!" she exclaimed, smiling broadly.
"You're good too, you know." He replied. They smiled at each other. Harry cleared his throat.
"You both did great. Now, we should plan what we're doing for the rest of the day.
The hours past and the quartet went in and out of shops the whole time. Finally, they went back to the three broomsticks at 4:00PM for the announcing of the winners of the karaoke contest. They stood in the back and waited for a few minutes. Finally, the man that was announcing earlier stepped up to the mic holding an envelope.
"Well, ladies and gentlemen, the time has come for us to announce the winners of the contest. The judges wanted to let you know that this was a very hard decision and we wish more than one pair could win, but unfortunately, that's not how it works. Now, after I announce the winners, I ask them to come and stand on the stage to receive their galleons and meet their agents." He said. He opened the envelope and looked at the paper inside.
"Now, the moment you've all been waiting for. the winners of the karaoke contest are. HILDA HOPSKINS AND MICHAEL FLETCHER!" he bellowed. The two walked onto the stage to receive their award.
"I wanted to let you all know, that this pair just beat the pair of Granger & Malfoy by just 1 point! I hope you all enjoy the rest of your stay in Hogsmeade." With that he turned to the winners and started talking with them.
Hermione sighed and the four of them exited the three broomsticks.
"I think you guys were better than that other pair. Sorry you didn't win, Hermione and Draco!" Cho said sympathetically.
"That's alright. It would have been too much to handle anyway. You guys know what? I thought this was pretty fun! Next time we come to Hogsmeade, Cho, we should go shopping for gowns for the Halloween Ball! Ginny can come too! Oh, that would be so much fun!" Hermione exclaimed, walking ahead with her. The two boys could hear Cho agreeing and making plans. They looked at each other and rolled their eyes.
"Girls! The next Hogsmeade trip isn't until next month! They're already planning something! Figures." Draco said.
"Yah, figures." Harry agreed. They both stopped suddenly and looked at each other.
"Are we actually getting along?" they said at the same time.
"I guess you aren't too bad, Potter." Draco said finally.
"You aren't too bad either, Malfoy, when you act like a human being and not some stupid git." Harry replied.
"I suppose so. Well, we should be getting back now. See you later, Potter." Draco said and ran to catch up with Hermione and Cho. Harry stayed behind and watched him run off. 'I think this might be the beginning of a friendship.' He thought and smiled to himself as he walked quickly towards the Hogwarts Gates.
