Hogwarts Talent Show
A/N Author does not give a fuck about the events of the 6th book. Nothing that happened in said book carries over to my story. YAY!

Of Sign Ups and Crazy Headmasters
Dumbledore was crazy. It was the only reasonable explanation for why the old coot would do something of this caliber. How he had heard of a muggle talent show was right over the heads of most student. But to then put them through the torture of having one was a much, much different story. It was open, you signed up and you were pretty much in. But even then the students knew that there wouldn't be many applicants. I mean, a talent show. Honestly. What would he think of next?
But by the next day, the signup was up. In fancy letters it stated 'Hogwart's First Annual Talent Show' And then a space to give your name, your talent, and some further details.
The first person to find the signup was a tall blonde with piercing grey eyes. He had been…hiding a secret. And this was the perfect opportunity to make up for the troubles he had caused. And to apologize to her. Hurriedly scribbling 'Draco Malfoy' and 'Singing' into the boxes, he left 'Details' for later. The boy still needed to pick a good song.
Later in the day, another person slipped to the talent show. The girl had perfect, just slightly curly and with barely the hint of frizz it had at one time. Her large chocolate eyes scanned the name already up. Malfoy, her heart dropped. Shaking her head and pulling out a quill, she quickly wrote 'Hermione Granger' and 'Singing' underneath, writing 'Muggle song – no backup needed' underneath. Then, the girl turned and headed off to catch up with her friends.
Someone had been watching Hermione sign up, and this just gave her the confidence boost that she needed. Glancing around nervously, the short redhead ran over to the list, quill in hand and ready. Malfoy…singing, Hermione, singing. She read. Well, at least she wouldn't be alone. Her turquoise eyes found the next line and her quill quickly scribbled 'Ginny Weasly' with a quick 'Singing' beside it. 'Nothing needed' was added under details, obviously nobody wanted to give away their song.
The list was taking shape by lunchtime of that day. At the moment, another was eyeing it, wondering weather to sign up or not. Draco…bookworm…and Ginny. Wow. The Italian brushed dark curled hair from his eyes, and figured he couldn't be much worse then Draco and Granger. Ginny would be hard to follow up, but he had to get his feelings out. Large golden eyes staring dreamily at the handwriting of the girl, he managed to shake it out and write in neat perfect writing 'Blaise Zambini – Singing' before walking off. If anybody saw him, well… that would be the end of his and Draco's reign of terror. Then again, just thinking about performing pretty much did that. Oh well.
Another redhead found the list later that day. Ginny was signing? He had never known, and he had lived with her…her entire life. Wow. Shaking his own red hair away from his face, the boy pulled out his broken and tattered quill and wrote 'Ron Weasly – Rapping'. Laughing slightly, he walked off, bobbing his head in an odd fashion to a muggle rap song that he had listened to a million times.
The next to find the list had literally outrun dozens to make it. They didn't want the list though, they wanted him. Shivering a little, he tussled his already completely messed up hair around his head a little more. Adjusting his glasses so that he could read the list, his heart caught in his throat at the third name. Ginny. He quickly wrote 'Harry Potter – Singing' and dashed away before they found him again.
Before dinner another floated over to the sign up sheet, pink skirt billowing around her legs and blonde hair tossed back as if she had been hit with a wind going extremely fast. Her beautiful blue eyes shined, of course the Ravenclaw didn't give a fuck who saw her, reading the list laughing softly at the others. This one knew all of the 'secrets' of the school. The couples that wanted to stay in the shadows. She knew the breakups, and that gave some of the songs a little extra value. With a flourish, she signed 'Luna Lovegood – Singing' and skipped away.
"Drakie-poo, where are you?" Rang the shrill voice of a certain Slytherin. Storming angrily down the hall, she passed the talent show list. Her eyes caught the first name on the list, and her rage grew. Quickly pulling out a quill, she frowned for a moment. She'd show him….but talents? Hmm…oh! She could sing A/N shudders. Amazingly! Attacking the paper, she wrote 'Pansy Parkinson – Singing – Drakie! I'm looking for you!' She added the last under details, then walked off to find her…Drakie-poo.

Three Days Later
------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone was once again in the Great Hall for a loud lunch. Three loud claps rung through the room, silencing everyone down to barely a whisper. "Student of Hogwarts!" Came the voice of Albus Dumbledore. "The talent show signup is officiall closed! The line-up has been made, the master's of ceremony have been picked. Our wonderful spectacular show will be held in one week tomorrow, here in the great hall, beginning at six o'clock PM. After our show, we will be having dinner. It is mandatory that you attend. Ah, yes right. Here to host our talent show, are none other the Fred and George Weasly!" The hall erupted into cheers as the two pranksters entered the room, bowing low as they reached the front. "Hogwarts…" Said Fred. "WE LOVE YOU!" Shouted George. "Be sure to visit-" "Our joke shop in-" "Diagon Alley for-" "All of your pranking needs!" They finished, bowed, and made their way to sit at the teachers table, Ron head in hands. Ginny just cheered along with everyone else.
All of the contestants made their way to bed early that night, practicing their routines and thinking of the perfect outfit.

A/N – So. How do you like it? I'm trying not to make it cliché and short and everything. I just had to do it. Now. Most of the songs have been fully picked and such, but Draco is just SO HARD. Now, you don't know the full story, and I'm not going to tell you. But these are my three choices…what do you guys think of them?
Every Other Time – LFO
Almost Perfect – Ingram Hill
Beautiful Soul – Jesse McCartney
I just can't choose! Alright. He's not going to be the first performer, haha. No. Okay. I'll post the next chapter as soon as I can.
