A/n: so I hope you enjoyed my first chapter! Thank you to the people who reviewed, (all two of you) now I don't have to quit! Hurrah! I can stay and annoy you with more madness! Muhaha! Back to this story though, I have a little fun in store for Blaise next chapter so stay tuned! This chapter is slightly shorter than the last one but includes one of my all time favourite songs!I need another disclaimer don't I? Oh well.
I do not own this song it belongs to the (much better singer than me) Christina Aguilera or her record company or whoever made the damn song.
I wish I did I could get lots of money and escape merry old England, to go live in Spain and become 'enter new Latin name' and meet many good looking boys on the beach,and- but alas no. So before I bore you any longer I give you my new chapter: Beautiful. (And would it be so difficult to give me that review I know you're DYING to give me? )
Draco and Harry returned to the hall breathless and slightly red, to find a very drunk Neville singing a very bad version of 'tragedy' (fitting), which was alarmingly out of tune. He was slurring his words and breathing into the microphone.
Many people had their hands over their ears and their eyes clamped shut.
Finally the song ended and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Neville collapsed on the stage and had to be dragged off by Hagrid and revived by Dumbledore.
Draco let go of Harry's hand and went to sit with a group of his Slytherin friends. Before they could speak he started his announcement.
'Right you lot; you saw the Gryffindors attempt to show us up, now we have to get them back. No, no questions I know what I'm doing I just need to ask a couple of you something. No Blaise put your hand DOWN!' Blaise pouted but Draco continued 'Pansy, do you want to help? You don't have to sing its just I need to add a bit of background to the song.'
She looked at him for a second and then asked mysteriously ' Do you mean, our secret?' he nodded and she bit her lip nervously. After a moment of thought she nodded, Draco smiled and turned to Crabbe and Goyle. 'How about you two? All you have to do is hug or hold hands or kiss. But nothing else!' he added as an afterthought, 'They need to pay attention to me!' Draco finished sternly. His two cronies smirked at each other and they too nodded.
'Ooh! I want to help! Pick me! Pick me!' Blaise piped up, bobbing up and down in front of Draco.
'No Blaise you can't' he stated simply.
'Why not?' he demanded. Draco sighed heavily and carried on.
'Because you lack certain…criteria.' He explained. Blaise looked stumped but after thinking for a minute pursued.
'Like what? What do they have that I don't?' he looked quite upset.
'They are emotionally scarred and different dear. And as mentally retarded as you are, you aren't like them so leave it.' He concluded threateningly and before Blaise could reply he, Pansy, Crabbe and Goyle walked up to the stage.
They queued for ten minutes before finally getting onto the platform. He glanced at Pansy who pointed her wand at herself. At once her perfectly clear skin disappeared and was replaced by cuts, bruises and blood and her wrists showed obvious signs of self-harm. She took a deep breath and stepped out in the light. Crabbe and Goyle clutched each other's hands and nodded at Draco.
(ok same as last time, the bits in brackets are the actions, and the itallics are what he sings over the top of the backing.There isn't much dancing in this just swaying and pointing.ok i'll shut up now)
He grabbed a microphone and positioned the others behind him before turning to the crowd. He spotted Harry in the crowd and started the song.
Everyday is so wonderful
Then suddenly
It's hard to breathe
Now and then I get insecure
From all the pain
I'm so ashamed (he looks down at the floor)
I am beautiful (he nods)
No matter what they say
Words can't bring me down (he pulls downwards)
I am beautiful
In every single way
Yes words can't bring me down
Oh no
So don't you bring me down today (he shakes his head)
(he holds out his hand and pulls Pansy towards him)
To all your friends you're delirious (he smiles at her)
You're so consumed
In all your doom (he touches her wrists gently)
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone
Left the puzzle undone
is that the way it is?
You are beautiful (he nods at her)
No matter what they say (he points to the crowd)
Words can't bring you down
Ohh no
You are beautiful (he touches her bloody face)
In every single way
Yes words can't bring you down
Ohh no (he turns back to the crowd)
So don't you bring me down today
(The others join him and they link arms)
No matter what we do, no matter what we do
No matter what we say, no matter what we 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 always shine And tomorrow we might wake on the other side All the other times
Cause we are beautiful (he gesture to the four of them) No matter what they say Yes words won't bring us down nono (they shake their heads) We are beautiful in every single way Yes words can't bring us down
Oh no!
Don't you bring me down today!
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down ooooooh today!
The song ended and the hall erupted in cheers. Draco turned to Pansy and asked 'are you ok?' she nodded sadly and then restored the glamour charm over herself. She walked off to get a drink just as Harry came up to see Draco.
'Well we all knew you were beautiful anyway, but with mine you didn't get that i wanted sex.' He smiled. Draco looked down at him and sighed. 'I feel sort of guilty about Pansy. I hope she doesn't hate me.' He mumbled looking at the floor. Harry moved his arms to his boyfriend's shoulders and looked into the silver eyes.
'Don't worry, no one can hate you. And I don't think anyone would dare laugh at her would they?especially not with you lloknig out for her.Draco Malfoy: the blonde, pink-loving, homosexualSlythein!Come on Draco, don't get all guilty on me, we still have another song to sing!'
Draco looked up confused into the smirking face of Harry.
'What do you mean?' he asked.
'Oh you know, the song of our people!'
'What people?' Draco was doing a very good impression of Blaise. Harry shook his head and said nothing more. Draco would find out soon enough.
a/n: soooooooooooo does it deserve a review? I know its short but I have fun ready for the next chapter, which I will post tomorrow (I hope). I think its funny anyway, but having the mental age of a two year old who gets amazed by the fact that she has a mole on her hand isn't saying much is it? I have more to come after that too but I'm getting ahead of myself, so for now I leave you with the request for a review, or any one of those little options in that purple box down there, and a farewell.
Ok I'll talk to you all tomorrow but now I have to go swimming so ciao! (I think that's how its spelt)
