Chapter 15
"Oh and one last thing, just to warn you, professors will be stopping by twice tonight. There is no telling when but they will."
"Have Fun"
Draco and Hermione smiled at all the students in the room. They were using the Room of Requirement and it worked great. There was a stage for the singing that would start later and there were couches and chairs. There was a bar and a dance floor. There were little rooms all around for the games that were going on and of course other activities.
Hermione and Draco looked around and were happy with what they did. It seemed like everyone was having fun. Many couples were talking amongst each other, some were dancing, and some were going off in to the rooms.
Draco looked down at Hermione and thought that she looked even more stunning the way she was now. She had on a black cloth mini skirt and a black and red shirt that said JUST SAY IT in white.(A/N: I will explain it down there) Her hair was pulled back into a pony tail with some hair left down to frame her face and to caress her neck. She looked comfortable and to Draco that was completely sexy.
Hermione was thinking along the same lines as him. She thought he looked great in his baggy, but not too baggy jeans and his black and green striped rugby shirt. It all complimented him very nicely.
Draco took Hermione's hand and whispered in her ear, "Before either of us have to sing or mingle, how about we go and sit down."
Hermione sighed and said, "Sounds great"
They walked over to one of the unused couches and sat down; Draco first and then Hermione leaning up against him. They looked perfect together. Both of them were so content that they didn't notice the two pair of eyes watching them.
They sat and talked, being joined by Harry and Pansy and Blaise and Ginny, for about and hour. They all were having a great time. They had fun laughing at Ron and how Lavender pulled him out on the dance floor for almost every dance. Finally Hermione admitted that they needed to start the singing.
She got up on the stage and waited for everyone to get quiet for her to explain. "Ok, so here is how the singing will go. There is a sheet of paper with the song available on them. There are about one hundred now, so don't worry. All you do is you hit the one that you want with the tip of your wand and on the screen in front of you the words will appear. Just start singing when it indicates you to. Have fun, be silly, don't be afraid. Just to let you see how harmless it is I will start. Also, if you want to 'get in to character' just go behind the curtain, say the song that you are singing our loud and you will look appropriate for it. But if you don't want to change or if you want ot do your own thing then feel free, you don't have to. So let's begin."
Hermione then proceeded to go behind the curtain. Everyone was clapping but stopped when they heard music start. It sounded like a concert band and it was just hitting on the down beat.
The curtains opened to reveal her. She didn't look like Hermione at all. Her hair was pulled up and she had on a black dress that seemed to be totally covered in diamonds. She had on long white gloves and all kinds of diamond jewelry. She was captivating.
The French are glad to die for love
They delight in fighting duels
But I prefer a man who lives
And gives expensive jewels
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
A kiss may be grand but won't pay the rental
On your humble flat, or help you at the automat
Men grow cold as girls grow old
And we all lose our charms in the end
But square-cut or pear-shaped
These rocks don't lose their shape
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Tiffany's! ........Cartier!.......Black Star, Frost, Gorham
Talk to me Harry Winston, tell me all about it!
There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
There may come a time when a hard-boiled employer
Thinks you're awful nice
But get that ice or else no dice
He's your guy when stocks are high
But beware when they start to descend
It's then that those louses go back to their spouses
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
I've heard of affairs that are strictly platonic
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
And I think affairs that you must keep liaisonic
Are better bets if little pets get big baguettes
Time rolls on and youth is gone
And you can't straighten up when you bend
But stiff back or stiff knees
You stand straight at Tiffany's
Diamonds!!... Diamonds!!...
- I don't mean rhinestones -
But Diamonds, Are A Girl's Best, Best Friend
Hermione finished her song and the people around her went wild. The girls liked the song, while the guys liked her. Draco was just sitting there looking at her. Then he started shooting all the guys that were whistling at her dirty looks.
Hermione vanished behind the curtain came out perfectly normal and said, "Now for your head boy." She smirked at Draco and he got up and met her on the stage. He glared at her and went to the piece of paper and picked out the song he had chosen. He didn't change, he just started to sing:
There's somethin' wrong with the world today
I don't know what it is
Something's wrong with our eyes
We're seein' things in a different way
And God knows it ain't his
It shore ain't no surprise
Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
There's somethin' wrong with the world today
The light bulb's gettin dim
There's meltdown in the sky
If you can judge a wise man
By the color of his skin
Then mister you're a better man than I
Chorus:
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
Livin' on the edge
You can't stop yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
Tell me what you think about your sit-u-a-tion
Complication - aggravation
Is getting to you
If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'
Even if it wasn't would you still come crawlin'
Back again
I bet you would my friend
Again & again & again & again & again
Tell me what you think about your sit-u-a-tion
Complication - aggravation
Is getting to you
If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'
Even if it was would you still come crawlin'
Back again
I bet you would my friend
Again & again & again & again
Something right with the world today
And everybody knows it's wrong
But we can tell 'em no or we could let it go
But I'd would rather be a hanging on
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
Livin' on the edge
You can't stop yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself
You can't help yourself
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself
You can't help yourself
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself
You can't help yourself
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
When he was done, once again the crowd went wild. Blaise was laughing at him with Ginny hitting him, but most everyone else was cheering him on. All the girls were going crazy and trying to touch him. Hermione gave them all the look of death as she made her way back up to the stage to say, "No it is your turn. Let's get this started. We did it. So can you."
It took about twenty minutes before anyone else would get up there to sing. They all just sort of looked around like something was wrong. Finally Blaise stood up and exclaimed, "It isn't that bad. Look I'll even do it."
All of the sudden the music started again and Blaise was out in the middle of the stage.

Scan the cafeteria for some good seating
I found a good spot by the cheerleaders eating
The quarterback asked me if I'd like a beating
I said that's one thing I won't be needing
And since I'm rather smart and cunning
I took off down the next hall running
Only to get stopped by a girl so stunning
only to get stopped by a girl so stunning?
She said, "You're smooth, and good with talkin.
You go with me to the Sadie Hawkins"
The Sadie Hawkins Dance
in my khaki pants
There's nothin better
oh oh oh
The girls ask the guys
it's always a surprise
There's nothin better
baby do you like my sweater?
The Sadie Hawkins Dance
in my khaki pants
There's nothin better
oh oh oh
The girls ask the guys
it's always a surprise
There's nothin better

Well, that is all I have time to put in for now. Don't worry the party is not over yet. I need help. Give me some suggestions of who should sing what throughout the next chapter. You will find out who the mysterious eyes belonged to and The next chapter will be long an here sooner. Sorry about the delay. I was busy. School sucks, btw. Oh and about the JUST SAY IT shirt, me and one of my friends hate it when people say things like 'god darn it' or 'darn it to heck' or even just freakin', so we tell them to just say it and we decided that it would be a good shirt.
Toodles
