Chapter Two
The house compeitions had gon on and Harry's 'about fifteen people' turned out to be very wrong. More like fourty five kids wanted to take part. Professor McGongagall was one of the judges for the main competition.
"I want to watch, and to help. A Gryffindor needs to win. I... don't know why. Damn this competitive nature i seem to have piced up over the years. SO! Lets get this show on the road." Ultimately it was up the students of the house to decide, but they had fun having professor McGonagall, the Fat lady, and Nearly Headless Nick as their judges for the pre show. It was an afternoon full of awesome notes, near misses, downright bad singing, and lots of laughter. Best moment of the day was when Parvati insisted that she was the best singer there after singing ' My Heart Will Go On' out of tune, off pitch.. just plain horribly. It was decided that Harry, Hermione, Ron ,Ginny and Lavender would go on to represent Gryffindor in Magical Idol.
It was september 20th and the top five of each house was getting nervous because that night ten of them were performing, to be followed the next night with the remaning ten, then the students would vote on who the top ten eight would be. On the 31st the would be told who was going on and then the day after the BSS students would be joining them at school. The first ten were the Slytherins & Hufflepuffs. Harry, and a few of his fellow Gryffindors almost didnt go to watch the Slytherins perform, but Hermione, the voice of reason, said they had to go check out their competition and cheer on the Hufflepuffs. They made their down to the Great Hall. There was a sharp intatke of breath. The Hall looke dawesome. The House Tables had been remobed, where the Head table usually sat, had been replaced by a black stage, The lights were shining down on a solitary microphone.
"Oooh!" Hermione said clapping her hands together.
"I'm so excited." they quickly found their seats. Professors Dumbledore, McGonagall, Snape, Flitwick and Sprout took their places at the large table infront of the stage. A familliar woman walked onto the stage.
"Hello! And Welcome to the first part of Magical Idol. My name is Tonks and I will be your host." Everyone cheered but Hermione, Ron, Harry, Luna and Neville cheered the loudes, seeing as she was A) a member of the order and B) helped save their lives last year.
"Alright, Tonight we've got ten performers tonight, so lets get started. I'm sure you have all read the rules but I am obliged to say this. Each performer has been given a number according to the order they sing tonight. You must remember the number of your favourite because that is how you will vote for the pesron to stay on. So, without further adu, we give you Ernie Macmillin." Ernie walked onto the stage looking as pompus as ever but with an underlying nervousness. His knees shook as he opened his mouth and started to sing a country song.
DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DE-DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DAA-DAAAAA
DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DE-DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DAA-DAA-DAA-DAA-DAAAA!
Well, I walk into the room
Passing out hundred dollar bills
And it kills and it thrills like the horns on my Silverado grill
And I buy the bar a double round of crown
And everybody's getting down
An' this town ain't never gonna be the same.
(Chorus:)
Cause I saddle up my horse
And I ride into the city
I make a lot of noise
Cause the girls
They are so pretty
Riding up and down Broadway
On my old stud Leroy
And the girls say
Save a horse, ride a cowboy.
Everybody says
Save a horse, Ride a cowboy
Well I don't give a dang about nothing
I'm singing and Bling- Blanging
While the girls are drinking
Long necks down!
And I wouldn't trade ol' Leroy
Or my Chevrolet for your Escalade
Or your freak parade
I'm the only John Wayne left in this town
And I saddle up my horse
And I ride into the city
I make a lot of noise
Cause the girls
They are so pretty
Riding up and down Broadway
On my old stud Leroy
And the girls say
Save a horse, ride a cowboy.
Everybody says
Save a horse, Ride a cowboy
(Spoken:)
I'm a thourough-bred
That's what she said
In the back of my truck bed
As I was gettin' buzzed on suds
Out on some back country road.
We where flying high
Fining, whine, having ourselves a big and rich time
And I was going, just about as far as she'd let me go.
But her evaluation
Of my cowboy reputation
Had me begging for salvation
All night long
So I took her out giggin frogs
Introduced her to my old bird dog
And sang her every Wilie Nelson song I could think of
And we made love
And I saddled up my horse
And I ride into the city
I make a lot of noise
Cause the girls
They are so pretty
Riding up and down Broadway
On my old stud Leroy
And the girls say
Save a horse, ride a cowboy.
Everybody says
Save a horse, Ride a cowboy
What? What?
Save A Horse Ride A Cowboy
Everybody says
Save a Horse Ride a cowboy.
The crowed, specially the Hufflepuffs, went wild. Tonks (now supporting long blonde hair) walked onto the stage.
"Excellent Ernie! Let's hear what the judges have to say. " she looked over at Dumbledore.
"Oh Ernie, That was excellent" he said wiping a tear from his eye.
"Wonderful Lyrics... can't ... Stop laughing." McGonagall said, " A little rude perhaps but great!" she said with a smile. Professor Sprout couldn't talk, she just clapped her hands and smiled. Professor Flitwicks squeaky voice was barely audible but it sounded like a good review. Then Snape got to say his bit.
"The song was good. but unfortunatly you can't sing. You have no shot on going on in this competition."
"OOH! after that harsh comment," Tonks yelled over the 'boos' from the Hufflepuffs and the cheers from the Slytherins. "Okay if you dissagree with Professor Snape vote 01 for Ernie on your voting disk thinking at the appropriate time. Any votes before tomorrow after the competition will be not counted." with that Ernie walked off the stage.
"Up next we've got Pansy Parkinson." the stage went dark. When the lights came back on Pansy was in the middle of the stage wearing a black outfit that showed a lot of skin (a/n see music video for outfit) the music started to play imediatly as the lights came on.
For whatever reason
I feel like
I've been wanting you
All my life

Pansy had the Briteney Spears voice down pat, and some of the moves too, let's just say she looked Hot! They Slytherins screamed and a lot of the guys from other houses screamed too, even Ron got to his feet letting out a huge "WOOOO" Harry looked at him in shock,
"What? That was hot!" The teachers all had nice things to say about her, she really had a voice, there were a few "are you sure that was really appropriate?" comments but other then that it wasnt bad. Other people went up like Susan Bones who sang a song by Jaqulyne Tyler, a Witch singer Harry had never heard of, but was extreamly good, gave Pansy a run for her money. Some other Slytherins performed who weren't all that great.
"Wow, Okay so up next is Hannah Abbott. singing Beautiful by Christina Agulaira.
(Spoken)
Don't look at me
Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, it's hard to breathe
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the fame, I'm so ashamed
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today
To all your friends, you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone and the puzzle undone
That's the way it is
You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words won't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words won't bring you down
Don't you bring me down today...
No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what they say
(no matter what they say)
We're the song inside the tune
Full of beautiful mistakes
And everywhere we go
(everywhere we go)
The sun will always shine
(sun will always shine)
And tomorrow we might wake on the other side
All the other times
We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down
We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words can't bring us down
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today.
Boy did she have some pipes on her. she aws highly complimented but Snape had to bring her down by pointing out that it was a very 'safe' song that 'anyone' could sing and if she wanted to 'stand out' in the crowed she would have to 'raise the bar'. More people went up.
"Last but not least we have Draco Malfoy." Draco came on stage dressed in Muggle clothing, a sort of 'grunge' look, baggy black jeans, chains hanging off his pants, spikes around his wrists waist and neck. His normally white blonde hair was dyed black and hung sexily in his grey eyes.
It's down to this
I've got to make this life make sense
Can anyone tell what I've done
I missed the life
I missed the colours 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've known
'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
That shines the life away from 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 do what I've done
And now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines the life away from me
'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
That shines the life away from 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
"Wow Draco I didnt know you could sing." Dumbledore said, with the other judges agreeing with him. Hermione still had her hand on her cheest with her mouth hanging open.
"Wow"she kept saying under her breath, Tonks had started to speak again.
"Okay,Tomorrow we will have the remaining ten performers numbers 11-20. Then after that for two hours you will be able to vote. You MUST vote to keep your favourite in! Tonks, out!"
