Everyone was on edge for the next week. Not just the contestants but the teachers and other students as well. The final five would be announced at the feast when the other students had already arrived. It was to be an intence couple of days.

"today at 5 o'clock all students must be in the hall. Our guests will be arriving shortly after and then the winners will be announced." This announcement was writen on the board in the common room.

"Nervouse ron?" Hermione askewd him as they went down to dinner.

"Not really. There are worse things that could happen tonight" he said remembering at the competition when he had not thought before he talked. Hermione had heard him and she would not leave him alone about it. But then again, she had done the same thing only she told Pavati and she told everyone. Maybe there was some thing that everyone else knew that they were overlooking. (a/n there will be a few spin-offs on this later, when I have time for it)

as five o'clok rolled around faster then you can say "magic" and every was sitting in there chairs stiring. Everybody jumped when the doors to the hall burst open and five girls walked in. two of them looked like normal witches and the other three, lets jut say that everyonewas watching them. And they knew it too. They were all clad in vintage t-shirts and worn jeans. They were laughing and singing. Harry saw Draco put his nose in the air as if to say 'they will not know what has hit them if they sit here.' Harry wanted to be a bit more frendly so Hermione invited the three over to the table. The other two students went to the slytherine table.

"let the feast begin" dumbledore said as magicaly food appeared at the table.

"wow this is so cool" one of the girls from bss said. She had long blonde hair and blue eyes. "oh my goodness I have not even introducided myself." She said in a sweet girl voice.

"ohh emma cut the act" the girl with braids corrrected her. She had stunning green eyes. "that is emma-Leigh and I'm michelle. And that one is Courteney." She pointed to the girl with the long dark hair.

"im Harry, this is Hermione and Ron. That is Ginny." He said as he pointed to everyone that he was talking to prevously.

"how many of you are we conpeting against?" Michelle asked

"umm we don't exactly know yet" Ron said " we will find out today…tonight actually. In a few minuits….seconds even…" Ron started to painc. "what if I don't make it?"

"chill Ron" Michelle said. " half of you wont make it. I wa very surprised that I did. And I think it was half because I threw candy at the end"(a/n OMG heather that was awsome)

"the other two that we are here with were very mad that I got in. they are so mean. They are the ones that you should be afraid of"

"can they sing?" Hermione asked

"no. they just pull mean and dirty tricks. They are really just horrible people." Courteney said. At this moment Dumbledore took the stand to read the results.

"I want to congragulate you all on a great preformance last week. I would like to have all of the competitors to come forward" slowly all of them decided that they had no other choice but to go. When they were all lined up, Dumbledore took out an envelope. "I am going to call you into pairs and then I will tell you who will be going. On of each of the pairs will be going…well no where but will no longer be in the competition" he then proceaded to split the group up. The pairs were, Hannah and Justin, Ron and Harry, Ginny and Pansy, Draco and Cho, and Hermione and Luna. Dumbledore turned to Hannah and Justin. "justin you're…" you could see Ernie crossign his fingers in the audience (a/n this will be one of those spin-offs) safe. Congragulations." Hannah sighted and returned to her place. Justin was instructed to go in to a room at the side of the hall to await instructions. "im going to make this a little faster so that we can move on quickly.i would like all the people on the right hand side of there partener to take a step forward" this inluded Ron, Cho, Hermione, and Pansy. "Im sorry to say that you didn't make it.please take your seats. The rest of you please go throught that door." As the eliminitaded contestants went back to the tables Michelle, Emma-Leigh, and Courteney all gave Ron and Hermione sympethetice smiles as they to made there way out that door. Once all the contestants had gone assembeled in the room, Dumbledore began to read out the rules. "the next stage of this will take place one week from today. You must all choose a song by wed so you can practice it on-stage. Two of you will be eliminitated each week. One from Hogwarts and one from BSS, until we are down to the final six. At this time you will have duets and again two of you shall be eliminated and after that stage, only one will be eliminitated untill the end of the competition when one of you will be crowned "Magical Idol"
