"Ron you're doing it all wrong, you actually hold the guitar when you play it," Harry said desperately.
"No," Ron said astonished.
"Yes," Harry sighed, "now let's try this again please."
"Oh why don't I just give up, you know that Hermione won't think anything special of it, I mean even muggles can do this…. she'll never like me as anything more than Ron her best friend."
"Ronald Weasley, don't you dare think that you know, I know and everyone in all of Hogwarts knows that you two are meant to be together, I just wish I had someone like that so shut up and keep practicing," Harry said angrily.

Draco had been over the song millions of times, one of the few muggle songs that was actually good, and he practiced the piano til his fingers hurt and had done his vocal exercises that guaranteed his voice was in perfect pitch.
"I'm so ready for this thing," he said eyeing himself in one of his many mirrors.

At dinner that night Dumbledore stood up, pre-dessert, and said, "Congratulations on surviving so far, as you all know tomorrow is the masque to be followed by the Talent Show." He stopped for the mild applause, "and following that you have a nice weekend, so enjoy dessert, have a good day tomorrow and have a blast tomorrow night, and try to at least pretend you care about your lessons tomorrow, it will make the teachers feel good about themselves. Finally the order of performance has been decided and will be posted in the Entrance Halls, anyone with objections should see the Head of House, Participants in the show tomorrow are excused from all lessons after lunch, for a run through and to get acquainted with the scenery, everyone else is excused from the last lesson of the day…now once more…tuck in."
Everyone rushed to finish their pudding and ran to the Entrance Hall to see the order, it read as followed:
Pansy Parkinson
Dennis Creevey
Harry Potter and Lavender Brown
Ron Weasley
Luna Lovegood
Seamus Finnegan and Padma Patil
Vincent Crabbe and Greg Goyle
Draco Malfoy
Hermione Granger
Blaise Zabini
Dean Thomas and Parvati Patil
Ginny Weasley
"Well of course they put me first, because they know that I will be the best," said Pansy smirking.
"Isn't the saying 'they save the best for last' Parkinson?" question Draco smirking and his order in the lineup, the middle was good that we he would have a chance to size up a decent amount of the competition.
"Whatever you have to tell yourself Malfoy," said Pansy stalking away, tomorrow was going to be…interesting to say the least.
A/N: as you can tell that was the lead in into the talent show, which is the next chapter, YAY! It will probably take me longer to update this one because the next chapter is so obnoxiously long and then we really get into the plot of the story, so these chapters have all pretty much been a prologue to the real story, hope your still enjoying it. Any ideas for talents, ship requests or any funny stories you want to tell are more then welcome, or if you just want some random person to rant to too, go for it, I'm here for you guys. R and R please
Lovels,
