A/N thank you for the mostly positive reviews. And yes I knew already the this was not an original idea, but I thought I had expressed that in my summary… oh well.
By the way, the songs preformed were (for those of you that asked)
Harry-still waiting by sum41
Ron- she will be loved be maroon5
Draco- innocent by our lady peace
Seamus- Stacy's mom by fountains of Wayne
Ernie- Thriller by Michael Jackson
Hermione- a thousand miles by Vanessa Carlton
Ginny- what I like about you, as done my lillix (yes I know that it has been done before by another group, but I thought Ginny sounded a bit like the girls from Lillix in my head so :P
Cho- Everybody's got a story by Amanda Marshall
Luna- Just a girl by No Doubt
Pansy- Walk away by Christina Aguliera
By the way I really appreciate the ideas for songs and such, but I've made a few things kinda centralish- to the romantic part so sorry, Ron is not gonna sing the art of Losing, but you are right it is a good song! And I will have them sing duets in the show after this one.
Just so you all know if you wanna suggest something, here are the upcoming categories not including the performance in this chapter.
Duets
Jazz
Love ballad
Country (don't kill me)
Own choice.
Keep those reviews coming! I'll put the names to the songs used this time at the bottom of the chapter!
Chapter 2
The next morning students lined up madly to cast their votes, meals remained this way until Friday. The contestants were told that they were to prepare an act even if they were not in the next round. This one would be another rock/pop evening.
Ginny and Hermione were talking at lunch the day of the performance. They were discussing what they were planning. When Ginny revealed her act to Hermione, she nearly fell off her chair.
"do you think Ron's gonna have a heart attack?" Ginny asked.
"yeah, maybe just a little one" Hermione replied sarcastically.
"Well he'd probably prefer if you did it."
"What do you mean by that?"
"C'mon herms. You see how he looks at you."
"he looks at me normally! I have no idea what you're talking about!"
"riiight, lets just see if you're singing the same tune after tonight. You know how we have to sit in the audience when we're done singing?"
"yes"
"well if both of you get in tonight, then you can watch him. You're going before him."
"what does that have to do with anything?"
"maybe he'll sing to you!"
"yeah, right."
"whatever Mione."
At this moment the boys walked in so the conversation ended abruptly.
That night Dumbledore gathered the contestants on stage. "as youall know, last week we had some amasing performances. A hand to all our contestants! .:applause:. Okay, now for the announcement you've been waiting for. Ernie, Cho, I'm sorry, you've not made it to this round. Please, a round of applause for Ernie and Cho .:more applause:. Now, on with the show!"
The stage was emptied and soon the lights dimmed. A few moments later, Pansy stepped out onto the stage. She was dressed very similarily to what ginny had worn last week, but a different song began to play.

The audience applauded and the judges approved, however, there were whispers of her copying Ginny's act from last week.
Soon Luna took the stage She had Long black straight hair and was wearing a black bodysuit. She had dark gothic makeup and her skin looked paler than usual.
I see a red door and I want it painted black
no colors anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they are painted black
with flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
like a new born baby it just happens every day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it's heading into black
maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
it's not easy facing up when your whole world is black
I wanna see it painted painted, painted black, oh baby
I wanna see it painted painted, painted black, oh baby
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
my love will laugh with me before the morning comes
I wanna see it painted, painted black, oh
black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted from the sky
painted, painted, painted black oh baby
painted painted, painted black
Luna received applause and the judges told her that they enjoyed her use of creativity.
Next to take the stage was Ginny. She was wearing a long trench coat and scary looking stilletto boots. Her hair was blonde and doen her back with the occasional black streak in it. Soon, the music began and she soon shed her coat revealing a black and yellow triangle top and matching yellow chaps and a pair of black panties in plain view. Another voice, a male one, was sounding out of nowhere, but nobody paid it no mind. Every boy in the room had something else on his mind. Backstage, Ron had fainted.

Uh, what
The crowd erupted in uproarious applause. But the judges were slightly horrified, except Snape, he enjoyed that performance a little too much…
The next on stage was Hermione. She had known Ginny's act would be hard to follow, so she decided to go a different route
She, dressed mainly in white, she had on a white lace top along with a white bra that was clearly visable trough the top. Her skirt was white with several layers of ripped fabric making up the body of the skirt. Her face had semi gothic makeup and her hair was actually long, smooth, black and wavy. She had decided to make her eyes ice blue for this. She was barefoot. Scattered at her feet were paper flowers and the backdrop to the stage went purple. As she started to sing, the flowers at her feet started to float, the more intense the song became, the more violent and intense the spinning of the flowers became also.
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Paper flowers
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah paper flowers
I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clock screaming monsters
Calling my name
Let me stay
Where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops as
They're falling tell a story
In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me
Don't say I'm out of touch
With this rampant chaos, your reality
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
The nightmare I built my own world to escape
In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me
Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear
Of silent nights
Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of imaginary light
In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah paper flowers
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah paper flowers
Hermione's applause almost equalled Ginny's and the judges certainly preferred this song. The flowers followed her offstage and soon Seamus took the stage. He has dressed in normal muggle clothes and soon began to sing.
She paints her nails
And she don't know he's got her best friend on the phone
She'll wash her hair his dirty clothes are all he gives to her
And he's got posters on the walls
Of all the girls he wished she was
And he means everything to her
Her Boyfriend he don't know anything about her needs
He's too stoned Nintendo
I wish that i could make her see
She's just the flavor of the weak
It's friday night and she's all alone
He's a million miles away
She's dressed to kill but the TV's on
He's conected to the sound
And he's got pictures on the walls
Of all the girls he's loved before
And she knows all his favourite songs
Her Boyfriend he don't know anything about her needs
He's too stoned Nintendo
I wish that i could make her see
Her Boyfriend he don't know anything about her needs
He's too stoned Nintendo
I wish that i could make her see
Her Boyfriend he don't know anything about her needs
He's too stoned Nintendo
I wish that i could make her see
He's 2-stoned , he's 2-stoned
He's 2-stoned , he's 2-stoned
I wish that I could make her see!!!
She makes me weak!
Applause sounded …yadayadayada… and the judges agreed that this was a good song for his voice but that he needed to be more creative and better with connecting with the audience.
Next on stage was Draco. He was dressed in semi-grunge-semi-punk clothing and started to sing and move around the stage to the music, not just taking the mic everywhere with him, but the stand as well.
Load up on guns bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over bored, self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
hello, hello, hello, how low
hello, hello, hello, how low
hello, hello, hello, how low
hello, hello, hello, how low
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulato
An albino
A mosquito
My Libido
Yay
I'm worst at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end
hello, hello, hello, how low
hello, hello, hello, how low
hello, hello, hello, how low
hello, hello, hello, how low
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulato
An albino
A mosquito
My Libido
Yay
(Draco picks up a guitar and starts soloing)
And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it was hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind
hello, hello, hello, how low
hello, hello, hello, how low
hello, hello, hello, how low
hello, hello, hello, how low
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulato
An albino
A mosquito
My Libido
Yay
A denial A denial A denial
A denial A denial A denial
A denial A denial A denial.
When the music faded out, the applause was HUGE. The judges applauded him for his amazing (though enchanted) guitar solo. And soon he left the stage.
Soon Ron came out in normal muggle attire, t-shirt and Jeans. Nothing too spectacular. With a guitar. Red with a white pick guard. He stood up to the mike and started to sing, but as soon as his eyes met Mione's in the front row, they never left hers.
Go!!
So 1,2,3, take my hand and come with me
because you look so fine
and i really wanna make you mine.
I say you look so fine
that I really wanna make you mine.
Oh, 4,5,6 c'mon and get your kicks

Big black boots,
long brown hair,
she's so sweet
with her get back stare.
Well I could see,

but you were with another man, yea!
I know we,
ain't got much to say,

I said, are you gonna be my girl? (winks at Hermione)

Uh, be my girl.
Be my girl.
Are you gonna be my girl?! Yea
The applause was huge, but Hermione was frozen to her seat. He had done an awesome job, yes. But he winked at her, he looked at her…
The judges (except Snape) loved the performance. And soon Ron exited the stage. Harry came on soon after with similar attire to Ron. (A/N I know, repetitive, but I did not realise until after I picked the sings that none of those bands have very unique images.) and stood up and simply started to sing (he had hoped the simplicity of this would be powerful enough)
How the hell did we wind up like this
Why weren't we able
To see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables
I wish you'd unclench your fists
And unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been too much of this
Dont think its too late
Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
Well i hoped that since we're here anyway
We could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say
So we could end up stringing
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Lets rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a hollywood horror
Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Harry does a guitar solo
How the hell did we wind up like this
Why weren't we able
To see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Lets rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror
Nothing's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you're wondering when

I know you're wondering when
Soon the music faded and Harry was applauded and Judged, the contestants lined up and were given one last round of applause. It was announced that this time, the voted would need to be in by the next night, because the contestants would be doing duets in the next week and they needed to know who would need to be in it so they could be paired up.
(A/N crappy chapter, I know, but oh well, it's my way of relieving stress. So it does not hav to sound good, jut make me feel better!
