DAY 11
"You'll be great Hermione," Ginny reassured her, Hermione was looking worried. "What if I screw up?" she asked, getting up and pacing around the room. "You won't," Ginny said as Hermione sat down. "I mean this performance is in front of the whole school, speaking of which has the train come yet?" Hermione asked. Ginny nodded, "Yes, it arrived an hour ago," Hermione sighed, "Alright, how long until its time?" Ginny checked her watch, "Uh an hour, you should start getting ready," Ginny advised her. "Ok, I'll just have a shower than you can help me with hair and make up," Hermione said.
Hermione came out of the shower and put on a pair of sweatpants and a hoodie. When she re-entered her dorm she saw Ginny had already set up her make up, so it was ready.
"Sit here, we'll do you're make up first so it doesn't get on you're dress," Ginny told Hermione, who nodded. Half an hour later Hermione and Ginny were ready for the performance and ball. "Let's go, Ron and Harry will be waiting," Hermione said as she and Ginny left the dorm.
Sure enough Harry and Ron were sitting waiting for the girls, in the common room wearing their tuxedos. When Hermione and Ginny walked in, Harry and Ron's jaws dropped. The girls looked amazing.
Ginny was wearing a long, hot pink, strapless dress that hand light pink lace as a trimming. Her hair was in a messy bun, in which strands of her fiery hair were already falling out and framing her face.
On the other hand Hermione was wearing a long, spaghetti strap, purple dress that changed to different purples depending on the light. It also had mini diamonds across the top. Hermione's hair was half done up in a messy bun and the rest of it fell into loose curls past her shoulders.
"Ready?" Harry asked being the first person to snap out of the trance. Everyone nodded. "Let's go," Ginny said walking out with Harry followed closely by Hermione and Ron.
When they arrived at the Great hall it was packed everyone was already seated and waiting patiently for the entertainment to begin.
"Ok, pick a good table. Hermione and I have to go back stage we'll see you guys after Hermione wins," Harry said pecking Ginny and walking backstage with Hermione. "Good luck," Harry said before walking on stage.
"Hello! It's great to see everyone back at Hogwarts and ready to enjoy some fabulous talent tonight! Not only will The Weird Sisters be entertaining us tonight but so will however wins this competition!" Harry yelled out as the Hall erupted into applause. "Please welcome Hannah, who is modeling the gown she made for herself tonight!" Harry added clapping as Hannah came on stage.
Hannah came on stage wearing a sparkly, black dress, off the shoulder, low cut dress. The bottom was cut diagonally from right to left, the highest it went was just above the knee on the right and on the left it went to mid shin. Around her waist a pink ribbon had been loosely tied into a bow so her figure was still visible. She was wearing black stilettos that had pink bows across the toe.
After the whole audience had seen the dress from every angle, Hannah did a final spin and walked off smiling. Harry walked on.
"Does that girl have talent or what?" he asked receiving cheers. "Let's hear it for Hannah!" the applause for the hall was almost deafening. From backstage Hermione was so nervous the butterflies in her stomach had even stopped fluttering to try and calm down.
"Ok now time for Hermione, who is singing 'Last Night on Earth' by Delta Goodrem!" Harry yelled clapping with the rest of the students, as Hermione came on the stage.
Shaking slightly, Hermione stood in the middle of the stage and began to sing with the music.
"It's the last night on earth
Before the great divide
My hands are shaking time was
Never on our side."
Hermione couldn't believe her voice was working. Slowly the shaking was lessening.
"There's no such thing
As a beautiful goodbye
As an ordinary day
I prayed for you a thousand times
It's never enough
No matter how many times
I try to tell you this is love
If tomorrow never comes
I want you to know right now that I
I'm gonna love you until the day I die
And if tomorrow falls asleep
Can you hold me first
I'm gonna love you like
It's the last night on earth
Like it's the last night on earth."
Hermione had forgotten about her nerves and began to walk slowly around the stage. Hermione's mind was blank except for the lyrics that were going though her mind at the speed of light.
"A penny for your thoughts
A picture so it'll last
That cycle down the roads of immortality
Your fingers on my skin
Only you can hear my fear
Only you can help me heal
I see forever with you here
It's never enough
No matter how many miles stand between us
This is love
If tomorrow never comes
I want you to know right now that I
I'm gonna love you until the day I die
And if tomorrow falls asleep
Can you hold me first
I'm gonna love you like
It's the last night on earth
Like it's the last night on earth
It's never enough, no
It's never enough
It's never enough
The afterglow
And the bright sunlight
The shadows fall
Will you still be mine?
Will you still be mine?
Will you still be mine?
I ask."
Hermione knew she only had one more verse, to impress everyone. Preparing herself she belted out the last bit of the song. From somewhere inside her a voice came out, that Hermione didn't know she had.
"If tomorrow never comes
I want you to know right now that I
I'm gonna love you until the day I die
(And if tomorrow falls asleep)
'Til the day I die
Can you hold me first
I'm gonna love you like
It's the last night on earth
Like it's the last night on earth
It's the last night on earth
It's never enough."
Hermione held the last note as long as she could before stopping and breathing in and out deeply. There was silence in the hall for a split second; everyone was surprised by the strength of Hermione's voice in this song. Then almost instantly the shock wore off and the hall was filled with a deafening, ear ringing, applause that left Hermione walking off stage with a grin across her face.
"WOW!" Harry yelled, "Ok, well done to our final two and everyone you have 5 minutes to vote for your favourite performer," Harry hollered walking backstage.
"Hermione, you were awesome," Harry said walking over to Hermione and hugging her. "That last bit… wow, well done," Harry said struggling for words. "Thanks Harry," Hermione said, giving him a brief hug.
One minute passed.
Hermione was sitting talking to Hannah quietly.
Another minute passed.
Hermione and Hannah were not walking around the dressing room nervously waiting for the results.
Four minutes had passed.
Hannah and Hermione, sat waiting nervously again. Now they were too nervous to even smile as Harry walked into the room.
"Hey guys it's been five minutes, I'm just about to make the announcement. I just wanna say well done and good luck to both of you," he said hugging Hermione and Hannah quickly. With a final nod he left the room.
"Ok, I have the results in my hand," Harry yelled holding up an envelope for everyone to see. "I just want to thank Hannah, Hermione and all the other performers for the great entertainment. Also thanks to all of you guys, you've been great," Harry said as everyone cheered.
"Ok, enough small talk, could Hannah and Hermione please come on stage?" Harry asked as Hermione and Hannah slowly walked on stage and stood next to Harry.
"Alright here it goes," Harry said taking a deep breath in and opening the envelope. Harry's eyes widened as he read the outcome. "Ok, our runner up is…" Harry paused for effect. "Hannah! WHICH MEANS HERMIONE GRANGER IS THE WINNER!" Harry screamed, as Hannah and Hermione hugged.
Hermione was shocked; so many things were running through her head. The applause in the hall was so loud Hermione couldn't hear properly. Hannah smiled and congratulated Hermione then walked off the stage.
"Hermione how do you feel?" Harry asked, once the cheering had ceased. "Uh, I don't know," Hermione answered truthfully. Harry laughed, "Ok, the ball has officially now begun. So to start us off Hermione, will you do the honours?" Harry asked as Hermione nodded.
The music to the second song Hermione had chosen started, as did the cheering in the hall. Hermione smiled widely and began to sing, still shocked.
"A scrub is a guy that thinks hes fine and is also known as a buster
Always thinkin' about what he wants
He just sits on his (oh his, on his, on his)
So...(no)
I don't want your number (no)
I don't wanna give you mine and (no)
I don't wanna meet you no where (no)
I don't want none of your time and (no)
I don't want no scrub,
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me,
Hanging out the passenger side,
Of his best friends ride,
Trying to hollar at me."
The shock that had overtaken Hermione had worn off and Hermione was now, just enjoying singing and having everyone enjoying it.
"I don't want no scrub,
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me,
Hanging out the passenger side,
Of his best friends ride,
Trying to hollar at me.
And a scrubs is checkin' me,
But his game is kinda weak,
And I know he can't approach me,
Cause I"m looking like class and he's looking like trash,
Can't get wit' a deadbeat (deadbeat)
So...(no)
I don't want your number (no)
I don't wanna give you mine and (no)
I don't wanna meet you no where (no)
I don't want none of your time and (no)
I don't want no scrub,
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me,
Hanging out the passenger side,
Of his best friends ride,
Trying to hollar at me."
Everyone in the hall was now dancing and those who knew the words were singing alongHermione saw Harry, Ron and Ginny watching her, Hermione waved, receiving a kiss back from Ron.
"I don't want no scrub,
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me,
Hanging out the passenger side,
Of his best friends ride,
Trying to hollar at me.
If you don't have a car and you're walking
Oh yes son, I'm talking to you,
You live at home with your momma (I'm talking to you)
Oh yes son, I'm talking to you,
You have a shorty but you don't show no love,
Oh yes son, I'm talking to you,
Wanna get me with no money,
Oh no, I don't want no, oh
No scrub, no scrub, no no,
No scrub, no scrub, no no,
I don't want no scrub,
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me,
Hanging out the passenger side,
Of his best friends ride,
Trying to hollar at me.
I don't want no scrub,
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me,
Hanging out the passenger side,
Of his best friends ride,
Trying to hollar at me."
Hermione finished the song and smiled breathlessly at the crowd who was cheering loudly as possible. Hermione bowed and ran backstage as the Weird Sisters began to set up.
"'Mione, you were unbelievable," Ron said running up to her and hugging her tightly, kissing her lightly. Ginny and Harry also congratulated her as they headed into the great hall.
The Weird Sisters had already begun to play a slow song and everyone was dancing slowly with their date. Harry and Ginny went away to dance closer to the stage.
Ron slipped his arms around Hermione's waist as she slid her arms around his neck. They began to sway slowly. Ron pecked Hermione tenderly.
"Is this the highlight of your time at Hogwarts?" Ron asked suddenly. Hermione thought for a moment, then shook her head, "No, it's loving you and having you love me back," she said pulling Ron into a kiss.
It's true what people say, every summer is different.
