~~~~~~~~~~Chapter Seven- Karioke (Harry's POE)
I glanced at my watch.
3:00AM
It had been two and a half hours since I walked in on Draco and Hermione.
I was sitting in the empty classroom that Draco and I had first kissed in; alone and reflecting on the events that took place earlier that evening.
Ron and I had decided to go and visit Hagrid. It's been months since we've seen him outside of classes. We took the secret entrance (A/N: Yes, I've decided that there is a secret entrance.) to the girls' dormitories to ask Herm if she wanted to go with us. We opened the door and both our mouths dropped in shock, disgust, and pain. Draco was beneath a shirtless Hermione in only a pair of black boxers with his hands on her ass. Behind us, the door swung shut. Startled, they both looked towards the door. When my eyes met draco's an overwhelming rage took over my body. I had to get out or I was likely to explode.
I walked aimlessly around the castle for about a half an hour. Then I realized where my treacherous feet were taking me: The old Ancient Runes classroom. And I hated myself for hoping that he would track me down and tell me that this was just a big misunderstanding and that he loved me. But, as I said earlier, it was almost three hours past our unpleasant encounter, and there was still no sign of Draco.
I slowly rose from the hard stone floor. I walked silently to the Gryffindor tower. Luckily, I didn't cross paths with Filch along the way. When I stepped into the common room I saw Ron sleeping soundlessly on the couch. I sighed, picked him up, and stumbled to our dorm room. I carefully set him on his bed and sat in my own bed with my head in my hands and cried until I was too tired. My dreams were filled with the very same blonde that I had no desire to see.
**NEXT MORNING**
I lifted my eyelids lazily to look at the clock. It was eleven. Lunch would start in a half an hour. Ron must have just woken up, because I could hear him asked himself how he had gotten into bed the night before.
"That would be me," I answered groggily.
"Harry!" he exclaimed as if just remembering what had happened the previous night. "Are you okay? I tried waiting up for you, but I must have fallen asleep. I'm sorry."
"Don't be. So what happened after I left?" I asked with mild interest.
"Malfoy left after you, I think he might have went looking for you. And I stayed to yell at Hermione for being such a fucking bitch. We broke up, needless to say," Ron told me with a sad smile on his face. "In other words, you missed all the entertainment."
I got enough entertainment last night thank you very much." I said, eyes watering. "I still can't believe they would do something like this." That was all it took for me to completely break down a nd cry.
Ron wrapped his arms around me protectively. "I know... Bout you know what they say, 'Time heals all wounds.'"
"The sad part is I still love him. Even though he fucked one of my best friends. (A/N: I know, I know. But Harry doesn't know they haven't fucked.) I just don't understand him," I whimpered. "We were doing so well."
"Shh. I know."
We must have sat there for about twenty minutes. Me sobbing and Ron trying his best to comfort me. I finally calmed down and went to lunch.
We walked into the Great Hall just in time to hear Dumbledore's speech. ~That's odd, Dumbledore doesn't usually give speeches at lunch.~ He was on a small staged that I didn't remember ever seeing before.
"I'm sure you are all wondering what I am doing up here. Well, some of the teachers have noticed a lot of the students in somewhat of a depressed state. We held a staff meeting and decided to cheer you all up with a round of Karioke. We will pick random students and they will come on stage a select any song they desire, but it must be appropriate. When you come up, I will perform a spell so that you will see the lyrics in your mind's eye. Another spell will be performed for music and one more to enhance your voice's volume. I wish you all good luck. Alicis Spinnet? You're first."
Alicia stepped on to the stage. All the spells that Dumbledore mentioned were done. She took a deep breath and began to sing.
"He scares easily
I makes him so angry
At me
And his head spins around
Just the Exorcist and I
Find it ever so
Hard to resist..."
I like the song. It happens to be one of my favorites, but the way Alicia sang it was traumatizing to my ears.
"Ronald Weasey!"
"I took a walk around the world to
Ease my troubled mind
I left my body lying somewhere
In the sands of time..."
Ron was a little better than Alicia. After them, there were a few good singers, a few not so good.
"Harry Potter!" Dumbledore finally called out.
I was expecting this, but I still got really bad stage fright. I know I'm not a bad singer, but I'm not that good either. What would my friends think if I sucked? I don't want to get teased. And what would Drac- ~Don't think about him~ I reminded myself.
" Walking
Waiting
Alone without a care
Hoping
Hating
Things that i cant bare
Did you think its cool to walk right up
To take my life & to look it up
Well did you?
Well did you...
I see her in your eyes
Take her in by surprise
Touching you makes me feel alive
Her touching you makes me die inside
Walking
Waiting
Alone without a care
Hoping
Hating
Things that i cant bare
Did you think its cool to walk right up
To take my life & look it up
Well did you?
I hate you
I see her in your eyes
Take her in by surprise
Touching you makes me feel alive
Her touching you makes me die inside
I've slept so long without you
It's tearing me apart too
How'd i get this far with this old heart
I've killed a million souls
But i couldn't kill you
I've slept so long without-- you--"
I put as much hatred and longing into my song as humanly possible. I had changed the genders to match my situation.
A few more students went. Most of them sucked big time. There was only one person left to sing...
"Draco Malfoy!"
~~~~~~~~~
A/N: What you all think? Was it good. The first song was Trigger-happy Jack by Poe. The second song was Kryptonite by Three Doors Down. And Harry's song was Slept so Long by Jay Gordon. Any guesses on what Draco's song will be? Hehe.
**PREVIEW**
...the Gryffindors broke into applause. Wearily, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff joined them. Most of the Slytherins were too shocked to say or do anything, but the ones that weren't visibly shocked glared daggers at mostly me.
I took a closer look at Blaise. His glare was far more scary than any of the other Slytherins'. His fists were clenched so tightly in anger that blood seeped through the cracks of his fingers, soaking his BLT.
