It was the night of the big talent show. A week ago Dumbledore announced they to the staff and students they were going to do an end of the year talent show. It was the end of Harry's sixth year. He spent the whole year working hard and studying, he even quit quidditch. After what happened during the Department of Mysteries incident Harry was really different. He didn't goof around or play pranks like any normal teenager. Ron, Hermione, and Dumbledore tried to get him to open up but he refused their failed attempts.

Tonight was the night. The night when Harry would express his feelings and the night he would go after Voldomort. He asked to be last for the talent show and Dumbledore complied. There were a lot of people before Harry; most people were either singing or dancing. Finally it was Harry's turn. Harry walked slowly out on stage wearing a pair of loose ripped jeans and a tight white shirt. Over the summer Harry had become very handsome and know most girls at school were drooling over him.

When Harry was at the center of the stage he took the mic of the stand and nodded and the music began.

I'm tired of being what you want me to be

Feeling so faithless

Lost under the surface

I don't know what you're expecting of me

Put under the pressure

Of walking in you're shoes

During that whole line Harry was looking at Dumbledore. The he started looking throughout the crowd.

Caught in the undertow

Just caught in the undertow

Every step that I take is

Another mistake you

Harry looked at the whole Gryffindor table, especially Ron and Hermione.

I've become so numb I can't feel you there

Become so tired

So much more aware

I'm becoming this

Harry looked at Dumbledore.

All I want to do

Is be more like me

And be less like you

Harry looked at Ron and Hermione.

Can't you see that your smothering me

Holding to tightly

Afraid to loose control

Harry looked back at Dumbledore.

'Cause everything that you thought I would be

Has fallen apart right in front of you

Harry looked around the Great Hall at all of the familiar faces.

Caught in the undertow

Just caught in the undertow

Harry looked at Snape.

Every step that I take is

Another mistake to you

Caught in the undertow

Just caught in the undertow

Harry looked at Hermione.

And every second I waste

Is more than I can take

Harry looked around at the crowd.

I've become so numb I can't feel you there

Become so tired

So much more aware

I'm becoming this

Harry looked at Dumbledore.

All I want to do

Is be more like me

And be less like you

Harry looked back through the crowd.

But I know

I may end up failing too

But I know

You were just like me

With someone disappointed in you

I've become so numb I can't feel you there

Become so tired

So much more aware

I'm becoming this

Harry looked at Dumbledore.

All I want to do

Is be more like me

And be less like you

Harry looked back through the crowd. He dropped a single piece of parchment of the floor and walked out to the great hall. It was so silent you could here a pin drop. Dumbledore got up slowly and walked to where the parchment on the ground was and read it out loud. "Tom Malvolo Riddle shall not live."

"He's gone after Voldomort," said Dumbledore in a sad tone. He looked out one of the big windows in the great hall and saw the sun setting and knew after tonight Voldomort would be no more. But he didn't know what would happen to Harry Potter, The-Boy-Who-Lived, The-Boy-Soon-To-Kill-Voldomort, The- Boy-Who-Grew-Up-To-Fast.
