DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER OR ITS AFFILIATES! I WANT TO, THOUGH, SO IF MS. J. K. Rowling EVER DECIDES TO SELL, I AM UP FOR IT AND WILL GIVE HER FULL CREDIT FOR PREVIOUS WORKS.

INTRODUCTION: Diagon Alley is holding a singing contest for Hogwarts students because of He~Who~Must~Not~Be~Named! Students' parents are also allowed to compete. This is a SongFic, so if you don't like them, then I suggest you get out now! No, really, you don't have to leave and I would love you to read because this is my 2nd Fic, and nobody read/reviewed my 1st one. I ended up deleting it. It was called "Numbing and Healing."

CHAPTER SEITA

Ron Weasley laughed out loud with the rest of the pub when the singers' names and the song were announced. Hermione, the rest of the Weasleys, and Harry had met up during Hannah's turn and found a small alcove to stand in. Dennis, Colin, Blaise, Zacharias, and Michael walked up to the stage looking extremely self~conscient.

The quintet started singing and dancing in a very boy band manner in very boy band outfits.

Hermione was singing the song and dancing with them, as was Penelope, as they were both born into muggle families and were girls. Dean and Justin Finch~Fletchley weren't singing, but perhaps that was because they were boys. The quintet and the girls were reaching the chorus now and the twins, Ron, and Harry were watching Hermione intently. Ron started thinking 'God, she is just so cute when she does that.'

(AN! I know that is kind of cliché, but hey, it's my story. And, I needed to get Ron/Hermione in there somewhere.)

Harry noticed the dreamy look on Ron's face and looked to where he was staring. 'Why can't they just figure out that they like each other?' he thought to himself. He nudged the twins and Ginny and pointed out Ron. The twins were about to say something, when Ginny and Harry told them to shush.

The song ended and Hermione was one of the ones clapping the hardest. Colin and Dennis walked down the stage and were greeted by dozens of Gryffindors. Michael went over to Cho, Terry, and their Ravenclaw friends. Zacharias jumped off the stage to go sit with Ernie and the other Hufflepuffs, and Blaise tried to slip away before the Slytherins started to give him the third degree.

"THANK YOU BOYS! NEXT WILL BE HERMIONE GRANGER SINGING 'SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT' BY BONNIE RAIT!"

Thank you, thank you, for reading this chapter! Hope people liked it because there is no direct singing and you start to see a little bit of Ron/Hermione! That is the only ship I ride. Well, check my profile and you will see a few exceptions.

By the way: I don't own 'Digital Getdown', it belongs to Misters Justin, Chris, Joey, Lance, and JC.
