Hogwarts Idol Chapter 2: Hey There Hermione, a harry potter fanfic

1So I got a good amount of reviews and thus I will update :-) Thanks for all the support everyone!! I'm not going to write out the lyrics for every song for every character but the ones that I think are necessary either because of a certain amount or because it relates directly to the story will be written out fully. I figure if I were to write out the lyrics of every performer of every song each chapter would be like 20 pages long hahaha...well I think I have some idea of a plot so it's a start. This chapter has a lot of Hermione it seems but I'm trying to split it equally between her, Ron, Ginny and Harry. I'm still not sure if I really want a star so to speak.

And alas I am still not JK and thus do not own any of these characters

Hogwarts Idol

Chapter Two: Hey There Hermione

So the fateful night quickly fell upon them. Hogwarts was about to set the stage for its first ever Hogwarts Next Top Idol. The show was going to be held in the Room of Requirement and surprisingly it was being filmed for all of the wizarding community. The wizarding world quickly got wind of the competition and wanted to film it (they figured it would be good morale). Minerva had agreed and for the next few weeks Hogwarts would play host to the cameras.

Hermione was incredibly nervous about performing especially now that it might be shown all over the wizarding community. She sat in her Head Girl dorm thinking about how weird it would be to go from book wormish friend to Harry Potter that everyone knew her as, to potential music star. She shook her head, this was not the time to psych herself out, she didn't even know if she would make it past this first level.

Meanwhile the Head Boy was trying to calm his girlfriend down:

"Ginny, you're going to be great, don't sweat it." Harry said putting a reassuring arm around her.

Ginny bit her lip in a way that reminded Harry of Hermione, "I hope so, I should have never let Hermione talk me into this. What if I'm horrible and mum and dad see it? Or even worse what if Fred and George see it?" Ginny buried her head in her hands.

Harry kissed the top of her head, "The Ginny Weasley I know wouldn't be nervous about something as silly as this."

Ginny took a deep breath, "You know what you're completely right. I can do this, I'm a decent enough singer."

"Exactly." Harry kissed her once more, "Any idea who the host is?"

Ginny shook her head, "No idea. Although apparently he's super popular and dreamy." Ginny shrugged as Harry looked at her inquisitively, "I read it in Witch Weekly."

The students filled the Room of Requirement, there were cameras and super fancy lights. People were walking around setting up microphones and checking up on students in the back. None of the kids had put in too much effort, just sporting either muggle clothing or school robes. Hermione and Ginny had managed to find each other amongst the crowds.

"Mione!" the red head squealed running toward her.

"Ginny!" Hermione engulfed her in a hug, "I am so nervous."

"Me too. I was freaking out to Harry about it, but he managed to calm my nerves."

"That's good, I spent most of the time pacing in my room." Hermione brushed a strand of hair out of her face. She had tied her unruly hair into a bun put there were a few strands that managed to fall out. Hermione kept her look simple she wore a pair of jeans and a lavender colored sweater and sneakers. Ginny, on the other hand, had opted for something a little more glamorous; she had a silky gold top and satiny black skirt that went to her knees. Her red hair was thick and long and looked amazing with her top.

"Don't worry, we're going to be great. This is going to be fun." Ginny encouraged her. She had decided she was going to have fun with this because there were so many people auditioning and they were going to cut it down to about 10 people; so she figured she'd never make it and should just have fun.

Hermione nodded, "Um, have you seen Ron?"

Ginny shook her head, "I haven't seen him all day actually." Hermione looked worried, "I'm sure he's with Harry right now."

"Yeah, you're probably right." Hermione nodded confidently, "I was just hoping he'd come see me before the show." Ginny patted her friend reassuringly.

Ginny and Hermione finished checking in and were now waiting on the side of the stage with their classmates eager to get this show on the road. Everyone was eager to see who they had hosting the show and they were about to find out.

A voice boomed over the room, "Welcome witches and wizards alike to the first ever Hogwarts Next Top Idol. For the next semester the cameras will be rolling as we follow students on the road to stardom. And now without further ado I present your hosts former Hogwarts students themselves they now own one of the most successful wizarding business ever, Fred and George Weasley!"

Ginny nearly fainted when she heard their names, her brothers were hosting the show, that's just wonderful. She looked to Hermione's whose jaw hung wide open. Ginny's brothers walked onto the stage with complimentary outfits. Fred's hair was short and spikey and he wore a printed button down shirt and jeans. George had chosen to grow his hair out and he was wearing a suit jacket with a t-shirt and jeans. The crowd went wild when Fred and George came on shouting all sorts of things from marriage proposals to begging for jobs. The twins introduced themselves and the judges before bringing out the first contestant.

"And our first contestant is someone you all know as Harry's Potter's best friend." Fred began.

"But we know him as ickle Ronnikins." George finished.

Hermione thought she was going to faint as she saw her tall redheaded boyfriend walk out onto the stage. He was wearing his school robes over a pair of jeans and the infamous Weasley sweater. Ginny's mouth was hanging open and she couldn't take her eyes off of her three brothers on stage.

"What will you be singing for us tonight dear brother?" George asked.

"Um it's a muggle song...kind of...I had some of my um own changes." Ron's voice wavered as he spoke.

"Sounds lovely Ronald." Fred patted him on the back. The twins walked off to the side where Hermione and Ginny stood frozen with intrigue and nerves.

Ron walked up to the microphone and raised the mike as high it would go. He ran his hand through his slightly disheveled hair and took a deep breath while the music began. Hermione recognized this song almost instantly, it was a very popular muggle tune by the band Plain White T's called "Hey There Delilah". Ginny and Hermione held onto each other nervously as Ron opened his mouth. Hermione jumped a bit as Fred put his hand on her shoulder and leaned forward to get a better look at Ron. Hermione turned to him slightly embarrassed but he just smiled. Ron then sang his first note; everyone was shocked to discover that Ron had a great voice; it was silky and smooth and dare I say sexy.

"Hey there Hermione

What's it like at Hogwarts School of Wizardry?

I'm a thousand miles away

But girl tonight you look so pretty

Yes you do

A lumos charm can't shine as bright as you

I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah

Don't you worry about the distance

I'm right there if you get lonely

Give this song another listen

Close your eyes

Listen to my voice it's my disguise

I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me

What you do to me

Hey there Hermione

I know times are getting hard

But just believe me girl

Someday I'll pay the bills with this wand

We'll have it good

We'll have the life we knew we would

My word is good

Hey there Hermione

I've got so much left to say

If every simple spell I wrote to you

Would take your breath away

I'd write it all

Even more in love with me you'd fall

We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far

But they've got charms, and portkeys, and brooms

I'd walk to you if I had no other way

Our friends would all make fun of us

and we'll just laugh along because we know

That none of them have felt this way

Hermione I can promise you

That by the time we get through

The world will never ever be the same

And you're to blame

Hey there Hermione

You be good and don't you miss me

Two more years and you'll be done with school

And I'll be making history like I do

You'll know it's all because of you

We can do whatever we want to

Hey there Hermione here's to you

This ones for you

Oh it's what you do to me

What you do to me."

Ron finished his song and placed the microphone back on its stand. He had gotten so into the music as he sang, his voice was full of emotion and passion, something Hermione nor anyone else had seen. The crowd was silent at first but then the hall exploded with applause and cheers. Hermione had to stop herself from running out there and throwing herself on him. Fred and George walked back out on stage with a look of admiration.

"Well, little brother that's much better than either one of us expected." Fred said cheerfully clapping his hand on Ron's shoulder.

"Let's see what the judges thought of it, Minerva we'll start with you." George threw her a wink.

"Well, Mr. Weasley if you put in that kind of performance into your magic you would be rivaling Miss Granger." McGonagall smiled, "I would certainly like to see in the final rounds of this competition." Everyone in the audience clapped and Ron smiled and nodded his head.

Tonks spoke next, "Well, Ron that performance left me on the floor (it was true Tonks had actually fallen out of her seat). I would definitely like to see you back." TOnks flashed him a smile and Ron once again nodded.

Snape was the last to speak, "Well, Mr. Weasley that was dismal." That statement caused an uproar in the room, Snape continued, "But sadly I'm not sure many will sing better, so I support their decision to move you on within the competition." The crowd went wild and Ron grinned and thanked the judges before walking off to the side the Hermione and Ginny were on.

Hermione jumped on Ron the second he was safely behind the curtains. The duo nearly fell to the floor but Ron was able to maintain his balance. Hermione covered him in kisses thanking him for the song, "Oh my god, Ron that was so sweet, thank you!"

Ron blushed, "You're welcome."

"You never told us you could sing." Ginny was exasperated.

Ron just shrugged, "I dunno, it never came up." Hermione kissed him the cheek. The trio watched the next student who performed she was a second year Ravenclaw who performed a number by the Hungarian Horntails. She was pretty dreadful to say the least. Fred and George once more joined them on the side. Hermione could have sworn that Fred was staring at her but every time she turned towards him his eyes were placed on the stage.

Actually the next handful of students and didn't make it to the next round. Luna Lovegood performed and much to everyone's shock she was quite good. Her ethereal voice filled the room and it had an eerie but powerful effect on everyone. She made it to the next round. After her were some more crappy performers including a duo of Slytherins who had decided to use this as their chance to sing about how Slytherin was the best house. Their song was humorous but they had no singing ability. Soon it was Ginny's turn.

"Well, you all know her as the girlfriend to the Boy Who Lived." Fred started.

"But we simply know her as our dear little sister." George finished. Ginny walked out rolling her eyes but smiled.

The trio talked for a little bit and then Fred and George walked off the stage and Ginny made her way to the microphone. With Hermione's help she had settled on a song by Carrie Underwood called "Before He Cheats". It was a country song but the range suited Ginny perfectly. At first she was a little nervous but she quickly loosened up and began walking around the stage and getting into it. The judges ate her up as did the crowd. Hermione could have sworn she heard Harry cheering for her above everyone else.

Fred leaned over and whispered in Hermione's ear, "It's almost your turn."

Hermione felt her self shake a little and Ron wrapped his arm around her tighter, "Oh, thanks Fred."

Fred smiled, "Good luck." he whispered before going back on stage.

Ginny had made it to the next round and ran off the stage excitedly to hug Hermione and Ron. They didn't have much time for celebration though since it was actually Hermione's turn to go next.

"Ah, and now we have the Gryffindor Princess." George began.

"Oh, right you are George. The lovely Hermione Granger is the next contestant."

Hermione walked out on to the stage wondering why on earth Fred called her lovely she shook her head making her way toward Fred and George. They chatted for a bit and the duo asked Hermione what her song would be and she told them she would be performing a muggle number by Kelly Clarkson. The twins walked off stage but Hermione could have sworn that Fred winked at her before walking off the stage. Hermione walked up and took the mike in her hands:

"Miss independent

Miss self-sufficient

Miss keep your distance, nooo

Miss unafraid

Miss out of my way

Miss dont let a man interfere

Miss on her own

Miss almost grown

Miss never let a man help her off her throne

So, by keeping her heart protected

She'll never, ever feel rejected

Little miss apprehensive

Said ooh, she fell in love

What is this feeling taking over?

Thinking no one could open the door

Surprise, it's time, to feel what's real

What happened to miss independent's no longer need to be defensive?

Goodbye, old you, when love, is true

Misguided heart

Miss play it smart

Miss if you wanna use that line, you better not start, no

But she miscalculated

She didn't wanna end up jaded

And this miss decided not to miss out on true love

So, by changing a misconception

She went in a new direction

And found inside, she felt a connection

She fell in love

What is this feeling taking over?

Thinking no one could open the door

Surprise, it's time, to feel what's real

What happened to miss independent's no longer need to be defensive?

Goodbye, old you, when love, is true

When miss independent walked away

No time for love that came her way

She looked in the mirror and thought today

What happened to miss no longer afraid?

It took some time for her to see

How beautiful love could truly be

No more talk of why can't that be me

I'm so glad I've finally seen

What is this feeling taking over?

Thinking no one could open the door

Surprise, it's time, to feel what's real

What happened to miss independent's no longer need to be defensive?

Goodbye, old you, when love, is true

Miss independent"

Hermione put the mike back down and looked up at the audience; she was greeted with thunderous applause. Hermione grinned stupidly she couldn't believe all the applause she was getting. Fred and George raced back out on stage putting their arms around her. The judges loved her, even Snape didn't say anything bad (he simply said she should progress to the next stage). She thanked everyone and ran over to Ron and Ginny. They all hugged and jumped up and down excitedly. Little did they know there was a camera filming all of their actions. All three had made it to the next round. After about another hour or so all the contestants had performed and everyone made it to their common rooms to see who had made it to the next round.

Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny excitedly raced to the Gryffindor Common Room and found the list posted by the fireplace:

The Contestant

Hermione Granger

Ron Weasley

Luna Lovegood

Neville Longbottom

Rufus Stinch

Parvati Patil

Michael Marone

Draco Malfoy

Ginny Weasley

Lavender Brown

The Gryffindors celebrated all night, six people from their house had made it to the finals. There was butterbeer and food that Harry and Ron nicked from the kitchens. Everyone drifted off to their rooms very late that night excited for what the term would bring.

Alright well that's it. I hope you all liked it, I thought the Hey There Delilah song was perfect for Ron and it was fun to re write the song hahaha. Um if you guys have any suggestions for future songs please feel free to suggest and if I use it I will credit you :-) Oh and don't worry you will get to "hear" everyone perform at least one song in this fiction.
