A/N- I didn't get 10 reviews but I'm posting the chapter anyway. The first one who guessed who would go next was Kirstie232. So she gets a cookie. Anyway on with the chapter.
Chapter 4 – Surrender
Well, the day went fairly well after the first night of the talent show. Everyone was talking about Luna, Hermione, Harry; none dared to discuss Crabbe's or Pansy's performances.
But every time Hermione, Harry, Luna, or Ginny brought up who they thought would perform next, Ron's ears would turn bright red or he would quickly try to change the subject. As if he was afraid of what was to come.
By the time Dumbledore stepped up to the mic to start the second night of the talent show. Ron was nowhere to be seen. Hermione got worried saying they should look for Ron. Harry, Ginny, and Luna just eyed the stage with knowing smiles.
Dumbledore cleared his throat so that everyone's eyes were on stage. "I welcome you all to the second night of the talent show. Dumbledore smiled glancing at the stairs of the stage while mumbling to himself into the mic, "This will be interesting." Everyone heard him, of course and just stared at the stage wondering what could be so interesting.
"The first contestant tonight is Ronald Weasley." He said calmly. People didn't know what to do when they heard this. So they just stood there waiting.
Ron walked up slowly to the mic ears redder then a tomato. He said stuttering a little, "I-I chose the song Sur-Surrender, by Ashlee Simpson. And Harry will play the guitar."
This amazed a lot of people including Hermione, that one, Ron was singing and two, that Harry knew how to play the guitar.
Harry walked up to the stage and summoned a red guitar and started playing. Ron turned on the extra music, took a deep breath and started singing.
It that's the you want it
Well there you go
Baby you can have it all
Now that you just let me go
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
I waited here for so long
Thinking that you 'd see
You just kept on running away
You made your misery my company
Open up your eyes
Don't you know you only get one life?
Oh you drive me crazy
Oh you just bring me down
Look out your window
My sunshine's all around
All you have to do is
Just surrender
Just surrender
Everyone thought that Ron would suck, his brothers had not been able to sing, and if they could sing not as beautifully as Ron was singing right now. Ron was staring at Hermione and Hermione at Ron. They both moved their heads slightly up and down in a silent agreement to meet after tonight's show.
All the pain in your heart
All the tears in your empty soul
And when you're spinning round and round
I'm the psycho going out of control
Open up your eyesDon't you know you're only wasting time?
Oh you drive me crazy
Oh you just bring me down
Look out your window
My sunshine's all around
All you have to do is
Just surrender
Just surrender
Ron never took his eyes off of Hermione, and Hermione never took her eyes off of Ron. Harry was singing the background vocals and staring at Ginny smiling, and Ginny couldn't help but to smile back.
You know it doesn't matter what you do
Don't you know I'm so over you?
Open up your eyes
Don't you know that it's your life?
Oh you drive me crazy
Oh you just bring me down
Look out your window
My sunshine's all around
All you gotta do
Oh you drive me crazy
Oh you just bring me down
Look out your window
My sunshine's all around
All you gotta do is
Just surrender
Just surrender
Just surrender
If that's the way you want it
Well there you go
Ron stopped singing but he never took his eyes off Hermione. Harry finished playing and walked down the stage to Ginny who was waiting for him. And he grabbed her hand lightly in his. Ron stepped down the stairs and stood right next to Hermione. The applause was very loud and Ron was happy he was finally the center of attention, problem was the one time he was in the limelight he didn't want it.
Dumbledore stepped up to the mic and said, "That was wonderful Mr. Wealsey, and you too Harry." Hermione whispered in Ron's' ear, "I loved it, Ron" making Ron blush crimson red. He put his hand on her shoulder and whispered back, "I'm glad." Hermione blushed if possible more then she did the night before at Ron's' breath tickling her ear.
"Guys, stop staring at each other and pay attention!" both Harry and Ginny whispered to them. Hermione and Ron both blushed even redder if possible. Shouting together, "We were not!" "If you say so" Harry and Ginny couldn't help laughing at the sight, both Ron and Hermione had looks of horror on their faces both secretly thinking "They know my secret, if they tell him/her I'll ... Their thoughts were interrupted by Dumbledore speaking.
"We will now have the next contestant...."
A/N- Finally another chapter gone. I'm so sorry about the very later update I started school this week and had to get ready. So I'm going to try and update once every week. And thanks for all the reviews. Please R&R, till next time.
