"Attention students" Dumbledor called out. Trying to get the attention of the student was not going to be easy. "I have one short announcement before the start of term feast. This year Hogwarts with be playing host to a competition. We have invited one of our sister schools to come and compete. The Bewilderment School of Sorcery or BSS as they like to be called. They will be arriving a week before Halloween. This competition will be open to all students. Auditions will start shortly. The top five students will compete with the top five from BSS for the title of "Magical Idol" professor dumbledor then sat down and began to indulge himself in a conversation with some of the other professors.

"professor dumbledor, sir?" one of the students finally piped up "what kind of a competition is this?"

"why I do believe it is a singing competition" and with that the plates were filled right in front of there eyes.

"a singing competition?

"here?" Questions arose from all over the great hall.

"this is going to be so cool" Ron said "we should all try out"

"can you even sing Ron?" Hermione asked

"of coarse I can. My mother used to say I sang like an angel" Hermione rolled her eyes.

"what about you Harry?" she asked him

"I don't know yet. I guess it wouldn't hurt to audition would it?"

"no way. And besides maybe one of us will win"

Thought out them next few weeks, auditions were held all over the castle. Auditions were first held within the houses. Then the winners form each house was going to have to perform in front of the school and then the students would decide who would be the final five. Ron, Harry, Hermione, Draco, Pansy, Hanna, Justin, Ginny, Cho, Luna, were the finalists. The final "leg" of the journey was to take place one week before the other students were to arrive. On that fateful day all the students were taken to the great hall and were they surprised. It had been transformed to an amazing stage and seating area. The stage was lit up and it looked like Broadway had moved into the castle. All the contestants were backstage getting ready. Nerves were setting in on them. Most of them had never preformed before. Ron was almost at the point of tears. He was the lucky number one. He had certainly never preformed in front of anyone. As dumbledor took the stage to introduce everyone he felt even worse.

"welcome everyone to the semi-finals. We have ten performers for you today and only half of them will be going on to represent our school. Choose wisely." With that he left the stage and lee's voice come on.

"Up first we have Ron Weasley." Ron came out in faded jeans and a jean jacket with a black shirt sticking out from underneath his jacket. He took a deep breath and started…

It's down to this
I've got to make this life make sense
Can anyone tell what I've done
I miss the life
I miss the colors of the world
Can anyone tell where I am

Cause now again I've found myself so far down
Away from the sun that shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down away from the sun again
Away from the sun again

I'm over this
I'm tired of living' in the dark
Can anyone see me down here
The feeling's gone
There's nothing left to lift me up
Back into the world I know

And now again I've found myself so far down
Away from the sun that shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down away from the sun
That shines to light the way for me to find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
I'm so far down away from the sun again

It's down to this
I've got to make this life make sense
And now I can't tell what I've done

And now again I've found myself so far down
Away from the sun that shines to light the way for me
And now again I've found myself so far down
Away from the sun that shines into the darkest place

I'm so far down away from the sun
That shines to light the way for me to find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
I'm so far down away from the sun again

Everyone cheered for Ron because he was obviously nervouse. By the end he had warmed up to everything and just let himself go. "Up next we have Cho" cho looked lovely in her tight white jeans and matching off the shoulder shirt. She had her hair down and strick straight.
