Hey,

I'm starting school so I might not be able to update in a while but I'll try.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.

Anyway here's the story.


Forfeit the game / Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame / Puts your name to shame
Cover up your face / You can't run the race
The pace is too fast / You just won't last

You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away if I give in
My life
My pride is broken

You like to think you're never wrong
(You live what you've learned)
You have to act like you're someone
(You live what you've learned)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You live what you've learned)
You want to share what you've been through
(You live what you've learned)

You love the things I say I'll do
The way I'll hurt myself again just to get back at you
You take away when I give in / my life
My pride is broken

You like to think you're never wrong
(You live what you've learned)
You want to act like you're someone
(You live what you've learned)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You live what you've learned)
You want to share what you've been through
(You live what you've learned)

"Surprise," Hermione said nervously.

"You look…look…amazing," Mike, said shocked, "But, how? Why?"

"How: Makeup and a tiny little bit of magic, not my doing, and why: I needed a change. Is that band offer still open?"

"Ah, yeah."

"Cool, well, my answer is yes."

"Really?"

"Ah, ya. I mean, being in a band could give me a bit of attitude that I need improving, well, that's what some people say."

"Say what?"

"You know how I'm at home."

"Yeah, bossy boots."

"Well, I'm now where near as confident at school as I'm here. Not even around my friends."

"And yet you act like that around me and we've only known each other for a few months?"

"Well…yeah. I'm weird."

"You can say that again," Mike muttered to himself.

"What?"

"Nothing."

"Anyway, what do I need to know to be in your band?"

"Well, you can sing, but we need to boost your confidence. I know you can play an acoustic guitar but we'll just see how you are with an electric guitar. Um…cloths, which I think your going to fix. Just tell me when your ready to join. We can't really decide the song until we find out how far your voice can go, so keep practicing," Mike answered leaning against the doorframe.

"Ok. Hey, I've got an idea. How about you come shopping with me. I can show you around Diagon (sp?) Alley when we go to get our schoolbooks. Isn't Mat enrolling you into Hogwarts this year?" Hermione asked facing the mirror and looked herself over.

'To be honest, I don't look half bad' she thought, running her hands through her now straight/wavy hair. She liked how she could pull her hair straight and then let go and the ends would go back to their Curl/Wave look.

'Half Bad? Half Bad! What are you nuts? You look fabulous' Brett squealed inside her head.

'One thing I've been meaning to ask you, is Are you gay?'

'Do I have to answer that?'

'Ohmigod, I have a gay conscience' Hermionescreamed inside her head.

'Scream a little louder, I don't thing they heard you in China!'

'Sorry, but it's just weird having a gay conscience'

'Quiet you, this stays between me and you, got it?'

'Ooo, I'm so scared what are you going to do ifI tell?'

'Hmm, how about make you confess your undying love for Malfoy to the entire school. Maybe on Christmas day, oh no, no, no, everyone will be at home that's right. How about, Valentines Day. The day of love'

'You wouldn't dare'

'Try Me'

'Your evil'

'Thankyou. You should know by now that I am your bad side, remember? Your good side's gone on vacation.'

"Hello, Earth to Hermione, do you read me?" Mike yelled waving his hand in front of her dazed face.

"Huh? Did you say something?" Hermione asked coming back to reality.

"Ah, Ya. I said sure, seeing as you know your way around Diagon Alley, might as well."

"Oh, ok, get ready, we're going shopping," Hermione walked past him and into her mothers room to grab a pair of shoes that her mother never returned to her.

"Oh joy," Mike muttered walking into his room.


Like? Don't like?

Some of the songs I'm putting in have no relevance to the chapter that they're in but they do have relevance to the story. I have no idea why I put that in. Anyway. Like I said at the top of this chapter, I'm starting school again, my teachers say that yr 9 is going to be though and that we're getting a whole heap of assignments so yeah, plus the room in which my computer is in gets up to about 40 degrees.

Enough of my complaining, I'm update as soon as I can.
