Hermione's thoughts
Harry's thoughts
Draco's thoughts
Ron's thoughts
Sorry if I confuse anyone!
Weeks passed and all the C.I.T's were preparing for the talent show, most in private. No one wanted anyone else to know what it was that they were performing. The C.I.T's were also kept busy by doing their duties, and helping around the campground. Everything passed by in a blur because everyone was working so hard. Then, finally, it was the day of the talent show.
At breakfast that morning, Jen told everyone to be in the mess hall at exactly 7'oclock which was when they were to start the talent show. The winner would be awarded with not having to do extra chores for the rest of the camp session. (A/N: I know that's very bad grammar, but it's the only words I could think of to describe it.)
At 7 o'clock, the C.I.T's lead their campers back to the mess hall. The campers were all whispering in hushed voices, pondering over what each teenager was going to perform.
Finally after awhile all of the campers where seated so that they could see the stage on which the show was going to happen. Jen announced that the first act was going to be Ron.
Ron appeared on stage holding half a dozen apples in a strange way. After about a minute, he got into the rhythm of the juggling. About halfway through, he took one hand away and started to eat on of the apples, while continuing to juggle with one hand. This greatly amused the onlookers. Finally he caught the remaining 5 apples, and bowed to whistles and cheers from the campers.
Next up was Steve. He came on stage holding something that looked like a shiny stick in his hand. When he was centered on the stage, he began speaking, "I was taking a walk last night, and I stumbled upon this thing that looks like a magicians wand. I was planning on doing some card tricks, but when I found this I knew I could really be a magician!"
Oh no! My wand!
HARRY?! Three voices thought back.
What did you bring your wand for in the first place?!
I'll explain later Mione, I need to get that back before anything funny happens.
Well hurry up then!
I'm thinking... what should I do?
How should I know?! Just do something!
Harry ran towards the stage, trying to cause a diversion. To do this he forced himself to trip over one camper and land onto a couple of others. When he was sure everyone's attention was on the camper, he noticed that Steve had left the wand on the stage to run over to see if Harry was ok.
Someone go onstage and grab my wand.
I'll go.
Harry saw Hermione secretly climb onto the stage, grab and pocket the wand, and then ran over to Harry's aid.
As it turned out Harry was okay, and the show was to go on!
Next up was Draco. He was carrying a radio with a c.d. player. When he got on stage he set it up.
What the heck is that thing?
A boom box now shh!
Weirdo!
Draco started playing his c.d. and began to sing:
"The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
And emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
I'll be your crying' shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
And rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive and not dead
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
I'll be your crying' shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
And I've dropped out, I've burned up
I fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, turned on
Remembered the things that you said
I'll be your crying' shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your...
I'll be your crying' shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
The greatest fan of your life"
I'll Be - Edwin McCain
(A/N: Please read the whole songs because I worked for a long time trying to find the perfect songs, and they fit great! So please just read them!)
I hope she realizes that its all about her.
Who's her?
You.
ME?!
Ahh god I need to learn how to control my thoughts.
No, that was really sweet.
Thanks.
Hermione was to busy having a debate in her head about how sweet Draco had just been, and how much she thought that she really might like Harry. She completely missed Seamus and George perform. Next up was Jacqui. She started to do some really interesting Irish Step, that was so cool to watch. It intrigued everyone's attention, but mostly Seamus's. While doing the step, she kept eye contact with him the whole time, and he cheered the loudest for her when she was finished. Then Judi performed. She did lots of complicated flips and back tucks and other tumbles. She was really good, and must have been taking gymnastics for years to perform at that level. Then Kelsey was up. She had asked Draco to leave his c.d. player on the stage, and he agreed. She started her tape and also began to sing.
"I can feel the magic floating in the air
Being with you gets me that way
I watch the sunlight dance across your face
And I've never been this swept away
All my thoughts just seem to settle on the breeze
When I'm lying wrapped up in your arms
The whole world just fades away
The only thing I hear is the beating of your heart
Cause I can feel you breathe
Just watching over me
And suddenly I'm melting into you
There's nothing left to prove
Baby all we need is just to be
Caught up in the touch
Slow and steady rush
Baby isn't that the way that love's supposed to be?
I can feel you breathe
Just breathe
In a way I know my heart is waking up
As all the walls come tumbling down
Closer than I've ever felt before
And I know, and you know
There's no need for words right now
Cause I can feel you breathe
Just watching over me
And suddenly I'm melting into you
There's nothing left to prove
Baby all we need is just to be
Caught up in the touch
Slow and steady rush
Baby isn't that the way that love's supposed to be?
I can feel you breathe
Just breathe
Caught up in the touch
Slow and steady rush
Baby isn't that the way that love's supposed to be?
I can feel you breathe, just breathe
I can feel the magic floating in the air
Being with you gets me that way"

Ron decided to put his mind reading powers to the test.
'I hope Ron realizes that I'm singing about him...' Kelsey thought.
Yes she likes me!!
Who?
Kelsey!! Yes!
Oh, okay.
Hermione was growing nervous because she knew that her turn was going to be soon. But right now it was Krista performing some cool karate moves. She was very good.
Jeez, with all these singers, and other people do amazing things, I'm never going to win... wait that's not the point, the point is to let them know that I like them both, but can only have one. sigh
Luckily Harry was about to go on stage, and was to nervous himself, knowing that Draco had already sang about Hermione, and he was actually very good at singing. It was a tough act to follow, but Harry knew he had to let her know. He noticed that the c.d. player was still on stage from Kelsey singing to Ron. So he started the music and also began to sing:
"I could live a thousand years,
if I could be alone with you, you.
and every second of my life,
I would never play the fool,
never turn my back to you.
I was the one who saw you first,
a grain in the sands of the universe,
I never knew what was ahead me.
now I'm out of the eyes of the wintertime,
and here in the sun
ill stay inside your shades of love,
makes one day forever.
and when July has come and gone,
this day will last forever.
when I see the way you look,
the way you look my way, through the rain,
and the water crashing down
washes both of us away
away
I was the one who saw you first,
a grain in the sands of the universe,
i never knew what was ahead of me.
now I'm out of the eyes of the wintertime
and here in the sun..
ill stay inside your shades of love,
makes one day forever.
and when July has come and gone,
this day will last forever.
I'm here inside your shades of love
makes one day forever.
she's all I see in front of me,
she's all I need.
I could live a thousand years,
if I could be alone with you.
and here in the sun
ill stay inside your shades of love
makes one day forever.
and when July has come and gone,
this day will last forever.
I'm here inside your shades of love
makes one day forever
one day forever
one day forever
one day forever"

I love you Hermione.
You what?!
I love you there I said it. 'pop!'
It was Hermione's turn, she hadn't paid attention to whatever Rachael had performed. It was her turn to sing. She started her music and began:
"One boy
One special boy
One boy to go with
And talk with
And walk with
One boy
That's the way it should be
Yeah, yeah!
That's the way it should be
One boy
One certain boy
One boy to laugh with
To jump with
Have Coke with
One boy
Not two or three
One day you'll find out
This is what life is all about
You'll need someone who
Is living just for you
One boy
One steady boy
One boy to be with
Forever and ever
One boy
That's the way it should be
That's the way it should be
That's the way it should be"
One Boy - Bye Bye Birdie
Ahh Harry, I think I love you!
WHAT?!!?! Harry and Draco thought together.
I said, Harry I think I love you!
Harry ran over to Hermione and pulled her into a tight, passionate embrace. It was followed by giggles and 'ooh's' from the younger campers. Harry and Hermione turned to face them and started to laugh.
"Oh, I must have forgotten, there will be a dance the second to last night of camp! I hope you all came prepared! We will announce the winners at breakfast tomorrow, please go vote now." Jen said, dismissing the campers.
