Disclaimer: Same as always, I don't own Harry Potter only my characters (In
other words, I kinda own my friends: P). I also don't own the song, 'Best
in Me'. It belongs to Blue and whoever else wrote it! I love my Blue
boys!! ;)
Dude!!! Like this is my second last chappie!!! Clap 4 me!!!
*~*~*~*
After the months of preparation the talent show had began starting off with Mash Melons singing 'Fruity Groovy'. Their song filled the entire Great Hall, making a few of the students get up and start dancing. But the judges, Dumbledore, Snape and Madam Hooch all looked as though their performance was a joke.
Out in the audience, Emma, Lauren and Steph sat watching the Mash Melons sing, or more like blocking there ears from their singing. Emma tapped Lauren on the shoulder and whispered, "Is he even singing?"
"How could you call that singing?" Steph yelled across at her, still not to happy with her.
Behind them, Ron sat with his arms crossed and staring. He couldn't think of what was worse, them singing or Hermione sitting behind him trying to sneak his attention. Ron let out a long sigh and saw someone coming along to sit next to him. He looked up and saw that it was Emily, looking prettier than usual.
"Hey, do you mind?" Emily asked pointing to the seat.
"Not at all," Ron said beckoning her to sit down.
Emily smiled at him and sat down making her comfortable. As she sat, she heard a little 'huff!' coming from behind her. She turned around quickly and saw Hermione looking very sour about the seating arrangements.
Emily turned her attention back to the stage and smiled as the band sang. She leant over to Ron's ear and whispered, "Have they been singing about squashing fruit this whole time?"
"Yeah, pretty much, they once put it in a blender," Ron said nodding slightly.
Emily giggled which sent shivers down Ron's spine. He missed hearing Emily giggled at his stupid comments. Why did he have to throw that all away for stuck up Hermione? Ron took a quick glance at Emily and a small grin appeared across his face. He was glad that she chose to sit next to him.
Behind the stage, Ginny, Paul, Tom and Rhys all stood shaking like leaves. One, by one the acts went until the host, Lee Jordon, announced that it was their turn to go up.
"Please give a warm welcome to P.O.H!" Lee yelled walking off the stage.
"Ready?" Ginny said looking at each of them.
They all nodded and put their hands together.
"One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, P.O.H!' all four of them yelled and lifted their hands in the air and walked out on stage. (A/N. No- one probably would have known that I copied that from Blue. They do that before going on stage!)
*~*~*~*
Ginny walked out on stage and waved out at the screaming audience. She tried to look around and spot her friends but the stage lights shone brightly in her eyes causing her to squint. She looked over her shoulder at the guys and after they finished waving to the crowd, they smiled at Ginny and went over to their instruments.
This was it, they were about to show the whole school what they had been practicing these many months. Ginny took the microphone off its stand and said a few quick words before they started.
"I hope that all you guys like this, and yeah I just hope you like it," Ginny said blushing at her own stupid comment.
Ginny nodded to the boys and they knew that it was their queue. They began to play the song on their instruments. Ginny held the microphone up to her face and began to sing on her queue. (A/N. The song they singing is 'Best in Me' by Blue. I would have said that in the story but it would stuff up the whole Lauren meeting her guy :P)
From the moment I met you I just knew you'd be mine You touched my hand and I knew that this Was gonna be our time I don't ever wanna lose this feeling, I don't wanna spend a moment apart
'Cos you bring out the best in me, like no-one else can do That's why I'm by your side, and that's why I love you
Ginny took in a breath and continued on her singing, the crowd and the judges getting into it.
Every day that I'm here with you, I know that it feels right And I've just got to be near you every day and every night And you know that we belong together, It just had to be you and me
'Cos you bring out the best in me, like no-one else can do That's why I'm by your side, and that's why I love you
And you know that we belong together, It just had to be you and me
The boys know joined in for the last part of the song.
'Cos you bring out the best in me, Like no-one else can do That's why I'm by your side, 'Cos you bring out the best of me, Like no-one else can do That's why I'm by your side, And that's why I love you 'Cos you bring out the best in me, Like no-one else can do That's why I'm your side, And that's why I love you.
Ginny took the microphone away from her mouth while the boys put down their instruments. The audience stood up in their seats and applauded, even the judges were, except Snape of course. All four of them bowed to them and quickly exited off the stage, as Lee Jordon cam back on calling up the next people.
Behind the stage, Ginny walked up to the wall and breathed heavily leaning on her arm. Rhys began squealing and hugged each one of them unable to control his excitement.
"I can't believe we just did that," Ginny said finally speaking.
"Me either," Laura said coming up the stairs behind the stage hugging Ginny.
"Were we good?" Paul asked his hands shaking in his pockets.
"Good? You guys were bloody great!" Laura screamed jumping on the spot.
Paul blushed scratching the back of his head. Rhys had calmed down by this stage and went a really pale colour, making his freckles stand out more than usual. Tom quickly walked over to him and supported him.
"I-was-really-GREAT!" Rhys said between his teeth and jumped high in the air, causing Tom to fall to the ground.
"Sssshhh!" said the Professor guarding the back of the stage.
"Sorry," all of them whispered and sat on the stairs on the side of the stage.
"Laura, wait," Tom called as she was about to go.
"Yeah," Laura said turning around to face him.
"Thanks you what you said, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have just done what I did," Tom said looking down at the floor.
Laura smiled and threw her arms around his neck pulling him into a hug. Tom smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist hugging her back tightly. The Professor gave a little cough and they both broke apart blushing slightly.
"Let's go," Laura said holding back her giggles.
Tom nodded and said, "I agree."
The two of them walked off, taking one last look at the grumpy Professor and burst out into fits of giggles, setting him off once again.
*~*~*~*
"Don't go anywhere; we'll be back after this short brake!" Lee Jordon announced as they stopped for a little brake before continuing with the show.
After Lee had finished, Peter jumped out of his seat and ran to the side of the stage where Ginny and the others were all sitting.
"Ginny!" he called running up to her.
Ginny heard his voice and grinned. She hopped off the step and run up to him. She ran up to him and threw her arms around his neck and he put his around her waist. Ginny looked into Peter's eyes and grinned even more.
"Can you believe what we did?" Ginny asked cheerfully.
"I sure can! You guys really did well," Peter said kissing her on the cheek.
Peter looked passed Ginny and saw Tom and the others greeting Emma, Lauren and Steph. Peter took Ginny by the hand and walked over to where Tom was standing. Tom noticed them coming and turned away staring off into the distance.
"Tom, I need to tell you something," Peter said calmly and let go of Ginny's hand.
"I'll be over here if you need me," Ginny said knowing it was her queue to leave.
Peter watched her go and greet Lauren with a giant hug before turning his attention back to Tom who still wasn't daring to look at him. Peter walked right over to him and stood next to him making Tom fidget away a little.
"You were really great up there," Peter said pointing to the stage.
"Thanks," Tom mumbled.
"What I really came over hear to say was, well, I'm sorry for all the pain I have caused you and I'd be honored to be your friend," Peter said holding out his hand.
Tom looked quickly up at Peter then back down at his hand before him. Tom took in a deep breath and took a quick glance at Peter who was smiling broadly at him. Tom gave a quick half smile and grabbed hold of Peter's hand and shook it.
Tom looked up into Peter's eyes and he smiled at him. As Tom was about to pull away, Peter pulled Tom into a manly hug. Tom's eye widened as Peter pulled him into the hug. Tom smiled weakly and patted him on the back.
Peter pulled away, his smile still visible on his face. Tom fidgeted a little making sure to not look Peter directly in the eyes. Peter laughed at Tom's actions and put his arm around his shoulders.
"Take it as you don't hug guys often?" Peter said laughing slightly.
"Couldn't say I have recently," Tom said in an odd sounding voice.
Peter let out another laugh and the lights suddenly went off and the only ones visible were the ones on stage. The show was about to begin again. Emma, Lauren and Steph quickly jogged back over to their seats, while Ginny, Paul and Rhys went back behind the stage.
"Talk to you after," Peter whispered in Tom's ear and walked away back to his seat.
Tom smiled as he walked off before turning back around towards the stage and run quickly up the stairs as Lee Jordon came back out on the stage introducing the next band to come on stage.
*~*~*~*
As the talent show was becoming to a close, the audience was starting to become restless. The acts now were just so cruddy and no-one could stand to watch them anymore. The next band came up, looking as bad as nearly most of the acts did and began to sing their song, badly.
"I wish they could get some half decent people on this show," Lavender said blocking them from her view with her hand.
"Like totally," Parvati said coping Lavender's move.
"Humph!" Hermione said glaring at Ron and Emily chatting away happily.
"I know what you mean Hermione, it's terrible," Lavender said now blocking her ears.
"Humph!" Hermione said a little louder this time.
Ron stopped talking to Emily and looked behind him to see Hermione shrinking down low in her seat glaring at him. Ron rolled his eyes and turned back around in his seat. Hermione's eyes widened. How dare he just roll his eyes at her! Hermione Granger!
"HUMPH!" Hermione nearly yelled, seeking Ron's attention.
Ron was about to turn around and yell straight into her snotty little face when Emily put her arm out to stop him and turned around herself. She turned around to see Hermione's eyes nearly on fire with rage.
"Get over yourself Hermione you ugly little snot!" Emily hissed at her and turned back around.
"You can talk," Hermione hissed back.
"Yeah I can talk, unlike yourself, stop acting so stuck up and see you can't own Ron!" Emily said trying to keep her voice down.
"I do own him; he's MY boyfriend if you hadn't forgotten he dumped you!" Hermione said nearly yelling.
"And if you keep acting like this I think the same will happen to you!" Ron turned around and shouted at her.
Hermione's eyes nearly burst out of her head. Did he just say he would dump her? He wouldn't dare! Did he have no idea who he was talking to? Surely she had heard wrong.
"Excuse me?" Hermione said trying not to worry.
"You heard me Hermione! If you don't stop acting so stuck up and snotty towards people I will gladly dump you!" Ron shouted at her again.
"Ron, it's me, Hermione, you only dump Emily which you have already done," Hermione said leaning over to the back of his seat.
"I wouldn't be so sure of yourself this time Hermione," Ron said and turned back around in his seat.
Hermione held on tightly to the back of Ron's seat, just staring off into the distance. He really had said he'd dump her. He even said he'd GLADLY dump her. Hermione bit her bottom lip and leant back in her seat, holding back the tears.
"Are you OK? Lavender asked putting an arm around her.
Hermione was now just staring at the floor slightly shaking. She closed her eyes tightly, threw Lavender's arm off her and ran out of the hall, her tears rolling down her cheeks. Lavender saw how sad Hermione's face was and glared at the back of Ron's head. She stood up and slapped Ron hard over the back of his head and followed after Hermione, Parvati following suit.
"Gees, what bitches," Ron mumbled rubbing his head.
"I know," Emily said smiling at him.
Ron half smiled while rubbing his head. Emily turned away and blushed, focusing back on the Jolly Rogers. Ron continued to stare at her until an idea sprang into his head, even though it was throbbing like hell.
"Wanna get outta here and go for a walk?" Ron asked shyly.
Emily looked back at him and smiled sweetly. She nodded and got up after Ron, who had grabbed onto her hand tightly and lead her out of the hall, a huge grin now on his face.
Ahead of their row, Emma, Lauren and Steph were quietly chatting while Lee Jordon announced the next band, some band called Blue. While they spoke, there was a huge applause, which caught the three girls' ears.
They all looked up and on stage before them were four very hot and fit guys. The three girl's jaws dropped and their eyes were glued to the four guys before their eyes. Emma sighed watching the blonde one whose turn it was to sing.
"God, he's hot," Emma said not taking her eyes of the blonde guy.
"Hey back off! I saw him first!" Lauren yelled back at her.
"No way, I had dibs on him first!" Steph said slapping Lauren on the arm.
"No I did!" Emma shouted back at her.
"No me!" Lauren shouted.
"Me!"
"No me!"
"I did!"
"Shut up will you?" a girl with black hair hissed from behind them.
The three of them suddenly fell silence all still staring at the young blonde guy singing. Emma sighed again and rested her head on Lauren's shoulder.
"I saw him first," Emma hissed out of the side of her mouth.
"Stop being so blonde Emma I did," Lauren hissed back still staring.
"Me," Steph hissed back.
"Na-uh I did!"
"I do believe it was me!"
"More like me!"
*~*~*~*
All the acts had been preformed and it was now time to announce the winner. Lee Jordon skipped up on the stage holding the small winners trophy in his right hand. He walked up to the microphone and spoke clearly into it.
"The judges have come to a decision, and their decision is..," Lee said slowly opening the envelope.
Ginny grabbed hold of Rhys' hands and closed her eyes, praying it was their band name he read out. Paul started to pace and Tom just stood against the wall staring down at the ground.
"The winners of Hogwarts student talent show is..," Lee said, "BLUE!"
Ginny opened her eyes shocked. She looked over at four boys who hugged each other before going out on stage to clam their well deserved prize. Rhys let go of Ginny's hand and watched the four of them ran out on stage.
"YES!" yelled Emma, Lauren and Steph just wanting to see the blonde kid again.
"How could they win?" Ginny said stamping her foot.
"Ginny, who cares, what matters is that we tried and had fun," Tom said still watching the floor.
"And you know what else?" Rhys said piping up.
"What? We learnt we suck?" Paul said sourly.
"No... We found out that, the four of us make a pretty good team," Rhys said this time actually making some sense.
"Your right," Ginny said still upset.
"I guess so," Paul said shrugging.
"Let's be good sports and actually congratulate them on their win?" Tom suggested.
"Good idea Tom," Ginny said finally smiling.
The crowd broke out into cheers and a huge applause as the boys of Blue took a bow and walked off stage, the blonde kid, jumping more like it off stage.
"And as promised, get ready for the after talent show disco!" Lee shouted as a swish of Dumbledore's wand the chairs disappeared and was lit with a few different coloured disco lights.
"Good win," Ginny said to the Blue boys as they came off stage.
"Thanks, you guys were bloody brilliant too," said the one with brown spiked hair.
"You guys were better," Rhys said grinning.
"We appreciate it, I'm Duncan by the way," said the one with brown hair again.
"I'm Ginny, and that's Paul, Rhys and Tom," Ginny said pointing each one of them out.
"I'm Lee," the blonde one said leaning over Duncan's shoulder, "And that's Antony and that's Simon."
"Nice to meet you guys," Tom said.
"Would you guys like to join us out there?" Ginny asked pointing out towards the disco.
"Love too," Simon said and he and his three mates followed Ginny and the others out onto the dance floor.
"Is that Ginny with my man?" Emma asked as she saw Ginny and the others with the four Blue boys.
"You mean my man," Lauren snapped back.
"Hey guys, this is Antony, Duncan, Lee and Simon," Ginny introduced as they came over.
"Hi," said Emma, Lauren and Steph all staring at Lee.
"Where's Laura?" Tom asked looking around for her.
"Dunno really," Lauren said who caught Lee's eye.
"Someone looking for me," Laura said who just suddenly appeared at Tom's side.
"Don't forget me now," Peter said who walked up to Ginny and kissed her on the cheek.
"And these are Laura and Peter," Ginny said pointing the two of them out.
"Nice to meet yah, we our Duncan, Antony, Lee and Simon," Antony said introducing themselves.
Laura smiled at them and walked over to Emma who was still staring at Lee. Peter grabbed Ginny by the waist and pulled her onto the dance floor for a slow, romantic dance.
"Steph, would you like to dance with me?" Rhys asked getting down on one knee.
Steph blushed, forgetting about fighting for Lee with Emma and Lauren and agreed. Rhys grinned and took her hand and took her out onto the dance floor, dancing close to Ginny and Peter.
"Hope he chooses me," Emma whispered to Lauren out of the side of her mouth.
"I know this might seem a bit forward but would like to dance with me?" Lee asked Lauren staring down into her eyes.
"I'd love too," Lauren said loud taking a quick glance at Emma.
Lee grinned cheekily and grabbed hold of her hand and took her off onto the floor as well. Emma stamped her foot on the ground and stormed off to the toilets. Laura watched her go and shrugged and watched her friends dance.
"Best be off, I see a chick waiting for a dance!" Simon said noticing a girl standing on the sidelines.
"Me too, I promised Lucy I'd meet her, nice meeting you!" Antony said and ran off.
Duncan shrugged and turned towards Paul and Tom who both still remained on the sidelines.
"Wanna see if we can score a chick on the floor?" Duncan asked pointing towards the dance floor.
"Sure why not," Paul said and followed after Duncan.
Tom waved goodbye to Paul and stood next to Laura who was still watching her friends dance along side the boys. Tom began to stare back at the ground, every so often taking glances at Laura.
"I need some fresh air," Laura said and quickly jogged out of the hall.
Laura pushed opened the Great Hall doors and took in long deep breaths of fresh air. She jumped as she heard one of the Great Hall doors open with a creak. She whipped around and Tom appeared behind the door, smiling at her.
"You scared me," Laura said clutching her chest.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to," Tom said walking over to her.
Laura smiled then turned away from him, for some reason she couldn't find herself able look at him. She moved her eyes and looked around at everything around her, taking small glances in Tom's direction.
"Is something the matter?" Tom asked looking at her out of the corner of his eye.
"What? Nothing's the matter what gave you that idea!" Laura squealed saying that all rather quickly.
Tom laughed as he heard he squeal before turning away from he yet again. Laura blushed and kicked the ground still able to speak to him, thoughts running threw her mind. Laura shook all the thoughts aside then suddenly spoke.
"I'm sorry," Laura said feeling uncomfortable.
"What you sorry for?" Tom said trying to look at her.
"For, um. well dumping you," Laura mumbled fiddling with her fingers.
"Forget it, that's over with, I'm over it," Tom said his throat suddenly going dry.
"Not it's not because-,"
"Because why?" Tom asked getting more and more confused.
Laura felt her palms starting to sweat and pain running threw them as well. Laura let out a groan before throwing her arms around Tom's neck and planted a kiss on his lips. She quickly relised what she had done and pulled away her cheeks burning.
Tom stood there, looking like he was going to say something but forgot exactly what it was. Laura swung her arms, her cheeks feeling like they were on fire, waiting for him to say something.
"Say something it's to quiet!" Laura said blushing even more speaking to him.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING BOARDER?" yelled a voice none other than James'.
"What I didn't do anything," Tom said his cheeks going redder than usual.
"DON'T LIE! YOU KISSED MY GIRLFRIEND!" James yelled walking over to them, his wand raised.
"I didn't! She-," Tom began.
"SHE DID IT? I DOUBT THAT! I KNOW THAT YOU HAD SOME SORT OF THING FOR HER!" James yelled at the tope of his lungs.
"James, I actually kissed him, he didn't do anything," Laura said quietly.
"Don't worry Laura, I know he forced you too," James shouted calming down.
"Listen I did nothing! She came onto me!" Tom yelled.
"Bullshit she did! Like she'd come onto you!" James yelled his wand pointing at Tom's chest.
"I did James!" Laura said beginning to cry.
"You'll regret this Boarder!" James yelled, "Avada Kedava!"
"TOM!" Laura screamed as a green light filled the corridor.
*~*~*~*
Well that it for that chapter. One more to go! I'm so happy, well here's this one anyway, I do hope you enjoyed this, mainly Emma who was kept asking if I've finished :P Well, please R&R and get ready for the final chapter!

"I do own him; he's MY boyfriend if you hadn't forgotten he dumped you!" Hermione said nearly yelling.
"And if you keep acting like this I think the same will happen to you!" Ron turned around and shouted at her.
Hermione's eyes nearly burst out of her head. Did he just say he would dump her? He wouldn't dare! Did he have no idea who he was talking to? Surely she had heard wrong.
"Excuse me?" Hermione said trying not to worry.
"You heard me Hermione! If you don't stop acting so stuck up and snotty towards people I will gladly dump you!" Ron shouted at her again.
"Ron, it's me, Hermione, you only dump Emily which you have already done," Hermione said leaning over to the back of his seat.
"I wouldn't be so sure of yourself this time Hermione," Ron said and turned back around in his seat.
Hermione held on tightly to the back of Ron's seat, just staring off into the distance. He really had said he'd dump her. He even said he'd GLADLY dump her. Hermione bit her bottom lip and leant back in her seat, holding back the tears.
"Are you OK? Lavender asked putting an arm around her.
Hermione was now just staring at the floor slightly shaking. She closed her eyes tightly, threw Lavender's arm off her and ran out of the hall, her tears rolling down her cheeks. Lavender saw how sad Hermione's face was and glared at the back of Ron's head. She stood up and slapped Ron hard over the back of his head and followed after Hermione, Parvati following suit.
"Gees, what bitches," Ron mumbled rubbing his head.
"I know," Emily said smiling at him.
Ron half smiled while rubbing his head. Emily turned away and blushed, focusing back on the Jolly Rogers. Ron continued to stare at her until an idea sprang into his head, even though it was throbbing like hell.
"Wanna get outta here and go for a walk?" Ron asked shyly.
Emily looked back at him and smiled sweetly. She nodded and got up after Ron, who had grabbed onto her hand tightly and lead her out of the hall, a huge grin now on his face.
Ahead of their row, Emma, Lauren and Steph were quietly chatting while Lee Jordon announced the next band, some band called Blue. While they spoke, there was a huge applause, which caught the three girls' ears.
They all looked up and on stage before them were four very hot and fit guys. The three girl's jaws dropped and their eyes were glued to the four guys before their eyes. Emma sighed watching the blonde one whose turn it was to sing.
"God, he's hot," Emma said not taking her eyes of the blonde guy.
"Hey back off! I saw him first!" Lauren yelled back at her.
"No way, I had dibs on him first!" Steph said slapping Lauren on the arm.
"No I did!" Emma shouted back at her.
"No me!" Lauren shouted.
"Me!"
"No me!"
"I did!"
"Shut up will you?" a girl with black hair hissed from behind them.
The three of them suddenly fell silence all still staring at the young blonde guy singing. Emma sighed again and rested her head on Lauren's shoulder.
"I saw him first," Emma hissed out of the side of her mouth.
"Stop being so blonde Emma I did," Lauren hissed back still staring.
"Me," Steph hissed back.
"Na-uh I did!"
"I do believe it was me!"
"More like me!"
*~*~*~*
All the acts had been preformed and it was now time to announce the winner. Lee Jordon skipped up on the stage holding the small winners trophy in his right hand. He walked up to the microphone and spoke clearly into it.
"The judges have come to a decision, and their decision is..," Lee said slowly opening the envelope.
Ginny grabbed hold of Rhys' hands and closed her eyes, praying it was their band name he read out. Paul started to pace and Tom just stood against the wall staring down at the ground.
"The winners of Hogwarts student talent show is..," Lee said, "BLUE!"
Ginny opened her eyes shocked. She looked over at four boys who hugged each other before going out on stage to clam their well deserved prize. Rhys let go of Ginny's hand and watched the four of them ran out on stage.
"YES!" yelled Emma, Lauren and Steph just wanting to see the blonde kid again.
"How could they win?" Ginny said stamping her foot.
"Ginny, who cares, what matters is that we tried and had fun," Tom said still watching the floor.
"And you know what else?" Rhys said piping up.
"What? We learnt we suck?" Paul said sourly.
"No... We found out that, the four of us make a pretty good team," Rhys said this time actually making some sense.
"Your right," Ginny said still upset.
"I guess so," Paul said shrugging.
"Let's be good sports and actually congratulate them on their win?" Tom suggested.
"Good idea Tom," Ginny said finally smiling.
The crowd broke out into cheers and a huge applause as the boys of Blue took a bow and walked off stage, the blonde kid, jumping more like it off stage.
"And as promised, get ready for the after talent show disco!" Lee shouted as a swish of Dumbledore's wand the chairs disappeared and was lit with a few different coloured disco lights.
"Good win," Ginny said to the Blue boys as they came off stage.
"Thanks, you guys were bloody brilliant too," said the one with brown spiked hair.
"You guys were better," Rhys said grinning.
"We appreciate it, I'm Duncan by the way," said the one with brown hair again.
"I'm Ginny, and that's Paul, Rhys and Tom," Ginny said pointing each one of them out.
"I'm Lee," the blonde one said leaning over Duncan's shoulder, "And that's Antony and that's Simon."
"Nice to meet you guys," Tom said.
"Would you guys like to join us out there?" Ginny asked pointing out towards the disco.
"Love too," Simon said and he and his three mates followed Ginny and the others out onto the dance floor.
"Is that Ginny with my man?" Emma asked as she saw Ginny and the others with the four Blue boys.
"You mean my man," Lauren snapped back.
"Hey guys, this is Antony, Duncan, Lee and Simon," Ginny introduced as they came over.
"Hi," said Emma, Lauren and Steph all staring at Lee.
"Where's Laura?" Tom asked looking around for her.
"Dunno really," Lauren said who caught Lee's eye.
"Someone looking for me," Laura said who just suddenly appeared at Tom's side.
"Don't forget me now," Peter said who walked up to Ginny and kissed her on the cheek.
"And these are Laura and Peter," Ginny said pointing the two of them out.
"Nice to meet yah, we our Duncan, Antony, Lee and Simon," Antony said introducing themselves.
Laura smiled at them and walked over to Emma who was still staring at Lee. Peter grabbed Ginny by the waist and pulled her onto the dance floor for a slow, romantic dance.
"Steph, would you like to dance with me?" Rhys asked getting down on one knee.
Steph blushed, forgetting about fighting for Lee with Emma and Lauren and agreed. Rhys grinned and took her hand and took her out onto the dance floor, dancing close to Ginny and Peter.
"Hope he chooses me," Emma whispered to Lauren out of the side of her mouth.
"I know this might seem a bit forward but would like to dance with me?" Lee asked Lauren staring down into her eyes.
"I'd love too," Lauren said loud taking a quick glance at Emma.
Lee grinned cheekily and grabbed hold of her hand and took her off onto the floor as well. Emma stamped her foot on the ground and stormed off to the toilets. Laura watched her go and shrugged and watched her friends dance.
"Best be off, I see a chick waiting for a dance!" Simon said noticing a girl standing on the sidelines.
"Me too, I promised Lucy I'd meet her, nice meeting you!" Antony said and ran off.
Duncan shrugged and turned towards Paul and Tom who both still remained on the sidelines.
"Wanna see if we can score a chick on the floor?" Duncan asked pointing towards the dance floor.
"Sure why not," Paul said and followed after Duncan.
Tom waved goodbye to Paul and stood next to Laura who was still watching her friends dance along side the boys. Tom began to stare back at the ground, every so often taking glances at Laura.
"I need some fresh air," Laura said and quickly jogged out of the hall.
Laura pushed opened the Great Hall doors and took in long deep breaths of fresh air. She jumped as she heard one of the Great Hall doors open with a creak. She whipped around and Tom appeared behind the door, smiling at her.
"You scared me," Laura said clutching her chest.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to," Tom said walking over to her.
Laura smiled then turned away from him, for some reason she couldn't find herself able look at him. She moved her eyes and looked around at everything around her, taking small glances in Tom's direction.
"Is something the matter?" Tom asked looking at her out of the corner of his eye.
"What? Nothing's the matter what gave you that idea!" Laura squealed saying that all rather quickly.
Tom laughed as he heard he squeal before turning away from he yet again. Laura blushed and kicked the ground still able to speak to him, thoughts running threw her mind. Laura shook all the thoughts aside then suddenly spoke.
"I'm sorry," Laura said feeling uncomfortable.
"What you sorry for?" Tom said trying to look at her.
"For, um. well dumping you," Laura mumbled fiddling with her fingers.
"Forget it, that's over with, I'm over it," Tom said his throat suddenly going dry.
"Not it's not because-,"
"Because why?" Tom asked getting more and more confused.
Laura felt her palms starting to sweat and pain running threw them as well. Laura let out a groan before throwing her arms around Tom's neck and planted a kiss on his lips. She quickly relised what she had done and pulled away her cheeks burning.
Tom stood there, looking like he was going to say something but forgot exactly what it was. Laura swung her arms, her cheeks feeling like they were on fire, waiting for him to say something.
"Say something it's to quiet!" Laura said blushing even more speaking to him.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING BOARDER?" yelled a voice none other than James'.
"What I didn't do anything," Tom said his cheeks going redder than usual.
"DON'T LIE! YOU KISSED MY GIRLFRIEND!" James yelled walking over to them, his wand raised.
"I didn't! She-," Tom began.
"SHE DID IT? I DOUBT THAT! I KNOW THAT YOU HAD SOME SORT OF THING FOR HER!" James yelled at the tope of his lungs.
"James, I actually kissed him, he didn't do anything," Laura said quietly.
"Don't worry Laura, I know he forced you too," James shouted calming down.
"Listen I did nothing! She came onto me!" Tom yelled.
"Bullshit she did! Like she'd come onto you!" James yelled his wand pointing at Tom's chest.
"I did James!" Laura said beginning to cry.
"You'll regret this Boarder!" James yelled, "Avada Kedava!"
"TOM!" Laura screamed as a green light filled the corridor.
