Over the next few days, Emma, George, and even Katie worked to pull together George's idea. On Saturday, two days away, they were going to put on a talent show in the courtyard. "Hear ye, hear ye, all students of Hogwarts. On Saturday, the twenty second of September, at six o'clock, a talent show will be held in the courtyard. All who wish to participate contact George Weasley, Emma Anderson, and/or Katie Bell." Emma read aloud. She handed the flyers back to George, "Very good."
George smiled, "Thank you. Now, we need to hang these up." He separated them into three even stacks. Then he handed each girl a stack and took the last one, "You all have your assignments?" The girls looked at each other, shrugged, looked back at George, and nodded. "Good. Move out!"

The night of the show came quicker than expected. The courtyard was filled with students and Professor Lupin. "Are you sure he's coming?" a nervous Emma asked a calm George.
George sighed and nodded, "Yes. He said he'd be here. Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to get this show on the road." He walked onto the magic-made stage, "Good evening everyone! Welcome to the first ever Hogwarts talent show! To begin our show, Cho-Chang will perform some ancient Chinese dance."

After quite a few more students, it was finally Emma's turn. She walked onto the stage dressed in a white button up dress shirt and an ankle length black skirt. She sat on top of the stool and pulled her acoustic guitar onto her lap, "Um…hi. I'm Emma Anderson. The song I'll be doing is called 'You Don't See Me'. It's dedicated to a certain guy that, well, doesn't see me how I'd like him to. Fred, this is for you."
This is the place where I sit,
This is the part where I love you too much.
Is this as hard as it gets?
'Cause I'm getting tired of pretending I'm tough
I'm here if you want me
I'm yours, you can hold me
I'm empty and achin'
and tumblin' and breakin'
'Cause you don't see me
And you don't need me
And you don't love me
The way I wish you would
The way I know you could
I dream a world where you understand
I dream a million sleepless nights
I dream of fire when you're touching my hand
But it twists into smoke when I turn on the lights
I'm speechless and faded
It's too complicated
Is this how the book ends?
Nothing but good friends?
'Cause you don't see me
And you don't need me
And you don't love me
The way I wish you would
The way I wish you would
This is the place in my heart
This is the place where I'm falling apart
Isn't this just where we met?
And is this the last chance that I'll ever get?
I wish I was lonely
Instead of just only-
Crystal and see-through and not enough to you
Cause you don't see me
And you don't need me
And you don't love me
The way I wish you would
Cause you don't see me
And you don't need me
And you don't love me
The way I wish you would
The way I know you could
Emma made her guitar disappear and stood. Everyone was applauding. She looked around but couldn't see Fred. She turned and found herself looking at him. He placed his hands on both sides of her head and kissed her, deep and meaningful. They parted, "I see you, I need you, and I love you." he whispered. They kissed again.

Later that night, in the Gryffindor common room, Emma Hermione, and Ginny were once again talking. "That is so romantic." Ginny sighed as Emma told them what happened. (AN: They were "studying" with Harry and Ron.)
"How come you got the romantic Weasley and I got stuck with Ron?" Hermione asked.
Emma shrugged, "Just lucky I guess."
Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the room, Fred, Ron, and Harry stood looking over at their girls. "What do you think they're talking about?" Fred asked.
"Who knows?" Ron replied.
"Whatever it is, it can't be good." Harry stated. At that exact moment, the girls looked over at them, back at each other, and started giggling.
"I think you're right Harry." Fred said.
Ron raised an eyebrow, "Should we separate them?"
Harry yawned, "Nah. Let's just go to bed."
