Chapter 2:
"Can you believe this, our school is having a talent show. Can it get any more pathetic?" Draco sneered as he sat there waiting for the next act.
"Oh Drake, I think it's a wonderful idea. I just wish I had a talent." Pansy said.
"You do. Your talent is to be the school slut." Blaize said as Pansy gave a shooked hurt look.
"Nice mate." Draco said high fiving Blaize.
"Oh Draco he doesn't mean it." Pansy said linking arms with Draco and laying her head on his shoulder.
"God damn it Pansy! Get off me!" he said pulling his arm out of hers and pushing her away from him.
"Hey Draco. It's Potty and Weasel." Blaize said redirecting his attention to the stage.
"Oh great, what they going to do? Teach us to be frogs? Ribet ribet." Draco said imitating a frog. The entire Slytherin table erupted into laughs.
"Nice!" Blaize said.
When the music started the table quiet down. As they performed, the Slytherins booed. But the Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs and other Gryffindors cheered. When it was over, the entire Great Hall, excluding the Slytherins, were on their feet cheering and chanting, "Harry, Ron." Of course the Slytherins sat there saying nothing, but death glared the two of them.
"Thank you!" Ron yelled over the noise.
"Thank you Mr. Potter and Mr Weasley. Next up we have Slytherin's Crabbe and Goyle." Professor Dumbledore said as Professor McGonagall disappeared behind the door.
3 minutes later, Crabbe and Goyle were standing in the middle of the stage.
"What are those two planning to do?" Blaize asked leaning across the table.
"Not sure. I told them not to do anything embaressing for me. But well you can see it looks like they're going to do something along the lines of it." Draco said just as Goyle tried to juggle some tomatoes. Crabbe tried the samething, but of course knowing those two ot didn't work out that way. Immediately the tomatoes fell on them. Covering them in the juices. Everyone erupted into laughs, all but the Slytherins who sat with heads down.
Then Flint stood up and chucked a piece of pie at them. Soon the Great Hall was chucking all kinds of food at the two. Dumbledore stood up to signal that it was enough. Crabbe and Goyle walked back to the door. Dumbledore used his wand to clean up the stage. When he was done he said, "Now, next we have Gryffindor's one and only, Hermione Granger."
At the sound of her name, Draco turned his head to the stage. Same as every other male when Hermione took her place at the mic.
"Oh look, it's the mudblood." Pansy said with a disgusted look.
"Pansy shut your face." Draco said just as the music started. Pansy sat there with crossed arms. Then Hermione opened her mouth to sing.
I will not make
The same mistake that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
It was completly dark around her. All but one light was on her. 'Now how am I suppose to see his face now?'
I will not break
The way you did, you fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far
'Wow, I didn't know she could sing that good. She look beautiful.'
Because of You
I never stray to far from the sidewalk
Because of You
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
'I really hope this does something. If not then I got up here to make a fool of myself.'
Because of You
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of You, I am afraid
"Please. Get of the stage. Your not that good." Pansy said and looked away down to the table. Now Draco had had enough, "Pansy shut up!"
I lose my way
And it's not to long before you point it out
I can not cry
Because I know it's weakness in your eyes
'There! That was him! What did Pansy do now? I hope she's not distracting him.'
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh, everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with
'What does she mean? Her heart can't break? Wait! She's saying something here!'
Because of You
I never stray to far from the sidewalk
Because of You
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Now it had hit him. Draco was slowly standing up. He understood what she was trying to say to him.
Because of You
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of You, I am afraid
'There he is, where is he going?' Hermione stood there singing and watching Draco stand up.
I watched you die
I heard you cry everynight in your sleep
was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
Draco started to walk toward the stage. Why his legs were carring him up there, he did not know.
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing
Hermione could see him getting closer and closer. And now the entire Great Hall was watching him.
Because of you I never stray to far from the sidewalk
Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
'Why am I going up here? Great, now everyone is watching me.'
Because of You
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of You
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of You
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you I am afraid
Because of You
Now Draco was standing in front of her.
Because of You
When the music ended the Great Hall was quiet. All eyes were on the two in the front. Tears started to fall from her eyes as Draco looked up at her. She coldn't take it anymore. She turned around and walked back to the door. Leaving Draco standing there looking at where she had once stood in front of him.
