One Month Later

The announcer, Dennis Creevey, walked onto the stage and up to the
microphone. "Good day and welcome to the first annual talent show!!!"
cheers erupted through the whole audience. "We shall have five singers
per day... and then when all have gone there will be an elimination... so on
and so forth until it's down to the last one... Our first contestant is...
Hermione Granger."

As she walk up and onto the stage her image was not the usual bookish
Gryffindor, her hair was as smooth as silk hanging softly against her
back... it looked as if she had not taken hours to get ready which got
everyone's attention but most of all her attire and posture got them... she
was wearing pinstriped dress pants with a tee shirt that stated "Fairy in
training." By industry. She had silver bangles on her wrists, silver
crosses with amethyst in the middle of them hung from her ears, and
silver rings adorned her fingers.

Softly the music began to play in the background steadily growing louder.

Daddy daddy

Why you break your promises to me

Daddy daddy

Don't you know you hurt me constantly

And there's something I think you should know

I'm not the little girl you left waiting at home

All the hurt and pain you left with mom and me

Why can't I be angry

I hope you're somewhere out there listening to this song

I hope you're thinking what you did was wrong

Well let me make it crystal clear for you to see

It's too late for I'm sorry

Sorry is a word you like to say

But sorry won't erase the things you did yesterday

And I want you to know that I didn't need you anyway

And this rope that we walk on is swaying

And the ties that bind us will never ever fray

But I want for you to know

You are

You are

Unforgiven

Unforgiven

Daddy daddy

Fan of absolute simplicity

Daddy daddy

Expert in responsibility

Where were you when I fell down and skinned my knee

Where were you when I was scared to go to sleep

Where were you to soothe my insecurities

Why can't I be angry

Where were you the first time someone broke my heart

Where were you when I first learned to drive a car

Where were you when I plugged in my first guitar

It's too late for I'm sorry

And I want you to know that I didn't need you anyway

And this rope that we walk on is swaying

And the ties that bind us will never ever fray

But I want for you to know

You are

You are

Unforgiven

Unforgiven

Sorry is a word you like to say

But sorry won't erase the things you did yesterday

And I want you to know that I didn't need you anyway

And this rope that we walk on is swaying

And the ties that bind us will never ever fray

But I want for you to know

You are

You are

Unforgiven

Unforgiven

Unforgiven

Unforgiven

Unforgiven... as the song faded into nothingness everyone could see that this is the real girl, this is the way she felt and nothing could change the past.

"thank you ...Hermione?" Creavey said confused by the message that had obviously been given. "Next we have Terry Boot..."

Terry walked on the stage and entered the prop of a booth....

I was tired of my lady, we'd been together too long.

Like a worn-out recording, of a favorite song.

So while she lay there sleeping, I read the paper in bed.

And in the personals column, there was this letter I read:

"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.

If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain.

If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.

I'm the lady you've looked for, write to me, and escape."

I didn't think about my lady, I know that sounds kind of mean.

But me and my old lady, had fallen into the same old dull routine.

So I wrote to the paper, took out a personal ad.

And though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half-bad.

"Yes, I like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.

I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne.

I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon, and cut through all this red tape.

At a bar called O'Malley's, where we'll plan our escape."

So I waited with high hopes, then she walked in the place.

I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face.

It was my own lovely lady, and she said, "Oh, it's you."

And we laughed for a moment, and I said, "I never knew"..

"That you liked Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.

And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne.

If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.

You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape."

"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.

If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain.

If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.

You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape."

"Well that was... definitely not what I had expected ... be original...go Terry.. next we have Pansy Parkinson."

Pansy walked onto the stage, she was wearing all white a blouse and jeans.... She sat at a grand piano and began...

Sometimes I have dreams

I picture myself flying

Above the clouds

High in the sky

Conquering the world

With my magic piano

Never being scared

But then I realise

[CHORUS:]

I'm supergirl

And I'm here

To save the world

And I wanna know

Who's gonna save me?

I'm supergirl

And I'm here to

Save the world

And I wanna know

Why I feel so alone

Seems like a dream

But there's one thing missing

Nobody's here with me

(Here with me)

To share in all that

I've been given

I need someone

That's strong enough for me

[Repeat chorus]

Hey ooh

I need someone

I won't stop till

I find the one

Who will start

Belonging in my life

I need someone

I won't stop till

I find the one

Who will start

Belonging in my life

[Repeat chorus]

I'm supergirl

And I'm here to

Save the world

And I wanna know

Who's gonna save me

I'm supergirl

And I'm here to

Save the world

And I wanna know

Why I feel so alone

I'm supergirl

I wanna know

Who's gonna save me

I'm supergirl

And I'm here to

Save the world

"Glad you told us how you feel .... Have you discussed this with your friends... see what happens... oh uh next up is Harry Potter."

Cheers erupted from the Gryffindors, which promptly died down at the sight before them... it was Harry, he looked small, ragged, and crazed in a sorta this cant be happening type way...like he wasn't there inside.

Need to ask a question

Calling out my name

Nothing seems to bother

Wish I had a clue

C'mon abuse me more I like it

Well I don't think you like me

Well I hate you as well

No one seems to like you

Wish I couldn't tell

C'mon abuse me more I like it

C'mon keep talking 'cause it's true

C'mon abuse me more I like it

C'mon keep talking 'cause it's true

Throw the sailors overboard

Throw the sailors overboard

Throw the sailors overboard

Throw the sailors overboard, overboard

C'mon abuse me more I like it

C'mon keep talking 'cause it's true

Throw the sailors overboard

Throw the sailors overboard

Throw the sailors overboard

Throw the sailors overboard

Throw the sailors overboard

Throw the sailors overboard

Throw the sailors overboard

Throw the sailors overboard, overboard

"Next we have Draco Malfoy." Dennis had said rather quickly causing his voice to crack. The stage was pitch black when the music started and pictures of Draco and his life flashing.

Father of mine

Tell me where you have been

You know I just closed by eyes

My whole world disappeared

Father of mine

Take me back to the day

Yeah when I was still your golden boy

Back before you went away

I remember blue skies

Walking the block

I loved it when you held me high

I loved to hear you talk

You would take me to the movie

You would take me to the beach

You would take me to a place inside

That's so hard to reach

Oh

Father of mine

Tell me where did you go

Yeah you had the world inside your hand

But you did not seem to know

Father of mine

Tell me what you see

When you look back at your wasted life

And you don't see me

I was ten years old

Doing all that I could

It wasn't easy for me

To be a scared white boy

In a black neighborhood

Sometimes you would send me a birthday card

With a five dollar bill

I never understood you then

And I guess I never will

Daddy gave me a name

My daddy gave me a name

Then he walked away

Daddy gave me a name

Then he walked away

My daddy he gave me a name

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Daddy gave me a name

Daddy gave me a name

Then he walked away

Daddy gave me a name

Then he walked away

My daddy gave me a name

Yeah

Yeah

Oh yeah

Father of mine

Tell me where you have been

Yea I just closed by eyes

And the world disappeared

Father of mine

Tell me how do you sleep

With the children you abandoned

And the wife I saw you beat

I will never be safe

I will never be sane

I will always be weird inside

I will always be lame

Now I'm a grown man

With a child of my own

And I swear I'll never let her know

All the pain I have known

Then he walked away

Daddy gave me a name

Then he walked away

My daddy gave me a name

Then he walked away

My daddy gave me a name

Then he walked away

My daddy gave me a name

Then he walked away (yeah)

Then he walked away (yeah)

Then he walked away (oh yeah)

"Well that ends today's portion of the contest. Thank you to those who participated. Good luck."

Everyone had been dismissed to go to bed and rest and think of what the day brought and what was being told to them through the words they heard...
