Once Hermione had gotten over what had happened in the Great Hall, she & Ron were talking amongst themselves, when Gryffindors started to come back from lunch. Hermione looked down at her hands, as they walked past them, whispering to one another. Ron watched her then squeezed her hand. She looked up & smiled at Ron, as Ginny & Harry joined them. They decided not to bring up lunch so instead they told them about the announcement that was given while Hermione was auditioning.

"They're announcing the Head boy & girl at dinner tonight, you gonna come & get your badge?" asked Harry, Hermione grinned. "I didn't get an owl saying I was head girl so it's not me," she said, Ginny giggled. "Dumbledore said that he forgot to send them out, said Ginny excitedly. Hermione squealed, "I still won't get it," she said unable to hide her smile, at that everyone who had heard her laughed.

"Ron, did you know it's a proven fact that if you actually CHEW your food, you have a lesser chance of choking," said Hermione as she watched Ron eat his dinner. Ron was about to retort when Dumbledore stood up. "Now as promised, I will announce the new Head boy & girl. Well done Hermione Granger & Ronald Weasley! Congratulations!" Dumbledore sat down & a big applause arose in the Great Hall. Hermione went red, but she had nothing on Ron, who was almost turning purple. They slowly walked over to Dumbledore who presented them their badges.

"This room is awesome!' said Ginny, as they got the first glance at the Head's common room & dorms. "You lucky prats," said Harry sitting on a red sofa. "Well, you're welcome here whenever," said Hermione, while Ron nodded. "We'll its late Gin & I should be going, cya guys! Also congrats!" Harry said as he & Ginny left. Ron & Hermione flopped on the sofa & sat in silence. "Well, it's a bit late… and uh… G'night 'mione," Ron said before he dashed to his new dorm. Hermione stood & headed to her dorm. "Wow!" Hermione breathed as she looked around her new dorm. It was a descent size, had one double four-poster bed; that was draped with red & gold material. Also it had its own walk in wardrobe & bathroom. With a soft sigh Hermione got changed & climbed into her new bed.

"Wow," said Ron as he entered his new dorm, it was almost identical to Hermione's. He sat on his new bed & thought about Hermione, (wow, didn't see that coming) & why she made him feel they way he did about her. Soon after he drifted into a soft sleep.

Day 2

"Hermione!" Hermione woke the Ron's voice yelling her name, through the door. She got up & opened the door, "Yes Ron?" she asked, rubbing her eyes. "C'mon!" she said happily dragging her to the Head's common room. He stopped her in front of the notice board, "Look at the names," gushed Ron; Hermione read them out loud;

"Colin Creevey- Photos of the students

Hannah Abbott- modeling her own clothes

Ginny Weasley- Dancing

Dean Thomas- Jokes

Hermione Granger- Singing

Pansy Parkinson- Singing

Pavarti & Padma Patil & Lavender brown- Fashion tips

Draco Malfoy-Ways to Look Sexy

Michael Corner- Mind Reading

Neville Longbottom- Introducing different Plants."

Hermione read out in a monotone voice. Ron looked at her, "Got back to the fifth name," he said eagerly. Hermione counted down five names & gasped; "NO way!" she screamed happily & hugged Ron. "Oh Merlin! I can't do this… I can't perform in front of everyone. Not now that they know about my parents," Hermione exclaimed, sitting on the sofa & putting her face in her hands. "Of course you can, you have too," said Ron grinning. Ron had been working hard trying to muster up the courage to tell Hermione he liked her, now was his chance.

"Uh… Hermione, there's something I have to tel-" "Oh MY GOD! We got in!" Ginny charged in yelling & cutting Ron off. Harry walked in close behind her & congratulated Hermione as well.

"Ok, McGonagall said that today is our practice day & tomorrow is our first performance & some people will be eliminated," Ginny explained to Hermione at breakfast. "So we only have today to rehearse?" Hermione asked frantically, Ginny nodded, biting her toast calmly. "Well, Harry & I are going to the quidditch pitch so I can practice my dance & Harry can fly around, cya!" Ginny said excitedly as she & Harry left the Great Hall.

Hermione giggled, "I don't think they'll get much practice done," Ron looked up, "What do you mean?" Ron asked stupidly, "Never mind."

"What are we going to do now?" Ron asked, once they had entered the Head's common room. "Uh… I was planning on practicing, seeing as its tomorrow & all," Hermione said, feeling bad because Ron had nothing to do. "Ok, I'm just gonna write to mum & tell her about the competition," said Ron, as he sat at a table & began to 'write' to his mother. Hermione inwardly groaned, she hated practicing in front of people, but yet she didn't feel intimidated by Ron's presence.

An hour later Hermione was still unsure of what to sing & was getting anxious. Then tapping on the window pulled Hermione out of her trance, Ron brought the note over to her & sat next to her on the sofa. Hermione opened it & recognized the writing as her mothers. Curiously she read it quickly & gasped when she finished. Hermione sat there shock still, Ron grabbed it & read it.

Hermione,

I'm sorry to have to tell you this by owl, but your father & I are splitting up. I'm so sorry but we are fighting so much & mostly over you. Your father doesn't want you to live with him, because he's met someone new & she has a daughter already. I need time alone with Nick, (this guy I met) so I think it'd be best if you went with Ron or Harry at the end of the year.

Love Mum xoxo

Ron's eyes widened as he read the letter. He looked at Hermione who had begun to cry & he hugged her. Suddenly she stopped crying & got up & without a word, went to her dorm. Ron's eyes followed her with deep sympathy; he too got up & followed her. When he reached her dorm door, he saw her rummaging through her trunk pulling out some paper & a CD. She sat on her bed & conjured a wizard CD player, (A/N: I don't know if they exist but let's pretend they do!) & put the CD in, then instantly a girl's voice came from the CD player & Hermione began she singing along with it quietly. Ron sat down next to her & saw that the paper had lyrics on it.

Ron sat on Hermione's bed for hours listening to her singing & get all the notes right. He could tell this song meant something to Hermione, because at the end of her practicing, tears began to fall again. "I think I've got my song," Hermione said bravely.

Good? Not Good? That's up 2 u not me! lol!
