Harry Special Xmas

I think I'm in love with Starbucks cheesecake.sorry for the randomness, but this chapter was typed in the comfy premises of Starbucks.. hehehe.. Yep, the next chapter where ahem, our sexy Harry Potter does his thing... Note to readers, just seriously imagine our Harry as the HOT Daniel Radcliffe in this scene and not some other specky skinny dude ok... hehe... It'll definitely adds on to the full effect of this chapter... LOL

Disclaimer: I dont own all of them characters here. If I was as rich as JK rowling though, I wouldnt give a second thought in buying Rupert Grint and ask him to be my full time personal butler..wink wink lol.

Chapter 7

As Hermione danced and swayed in Ron's arm during the dance, she couldn't help but find herself slowly slipping away. Simply nodding at whatever Ron was saying, she couldn't help but find herself staring at the boy who was sitting at the side of the room. Even though there wasn't anything showing on his face, she knew something was wrong with her best friend.

As much as it felt nice being in Ron's arms, she felt herself not quite enjoying it as much as she thought she would when she saw Harry acting the way he was at the moment. Could it be that he hated her for what she did? She never did had the chance to apologize nor talk to Harry about the incident. Maybe..Just maybe... Judging by the look of things, maybe he didn't want Ron to actually suspect that he liked... No, that couldn't be true...

"Hey, lighten up.. You look as if you are thinking too much.. People aren't suppose to involve oneself with major thinking and dance at the same time..."

Hermione found herself smiling at Ron's remark . Yet, she still wanted to know why Harry was acting the way he was now.

"Ron, something's up with Harry.. He looks troubled... Do you know why?"

Ron stiffened for a fraction for a second before merely stating that the boy probably had a lot on his mind judging by the many meetings he'd had with Dumbledore lately.

Hermione looked over Ron's shoulder. Harry was now talking to Ginny who had a butterbeer held out for him...Yeah..He looks like he needed it.. She saw Ginny grinning and suddenly a stab of jealousy was felt by her, so much so she felt uncomfortable by it.

"Excuse me Ron, I need to...err.. powder my nose for a bit"

Ron raised his eyebrows but merely nodded.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Heya Harry... You look like you needed this." Ginny said kindly,handing out a butterbeer bottle towards Harry. Harry simply nodded and took it.

"By the way, you look great.. So why's the gloomy face... Nervous about your performance later."

"Yeah... A bit..."

"Don't worry... I heard you... And I am astounded that you can actually sing that well..."Ginny blurted out, laughing at the sight of Harry who choked when he heard what she said.

"WHAT?! When?"

"Haha... Last night... Don't worry you'll be great..." Ginny said as Dean called out to Harry as he set up the stage for their performance.

"Go on... The crowd's waiting... Break a leg..."Ginny said, patting him on his back.

"Thanks Ginny..."

Just as Harry's about to turn and walk towards the stage, Ginny pulled his right hand and turn him around to face her, giving a light peck upon his lips

"Good luck Mr HP.."

Harry was momentarily shocked with Ginny's reaction and instinctively turned towards the stage. Dean was busy tuning his guitar and didn't saw it and Ginny winked mischievously at Harry before urging him to go on.

Ok, That was unexpected... If Ron and Dean saw that, he would probably die a thousand deaths before he could even utter the word Voldermort.

Oh well, he needed all the luck he could get. Taking a deep breath he went up the stage,the crowd cheering on their Hogwarts champion and hero.

Dean was the one making the introduction.

"Ok you people...You guys know our homeboy here. Mr Harry Potte,r with a long list of talents.He can talk to snakes.He can save people asses from danger. He can blast things out of the way and kicks ass in DADA. He battled dragons and other stuff we could never have done... He's gonna blow up Voldie's brain one day and...

"WE KNOW DEAN!!! COME ON!"

"Alright alright!! Well, let's give it up for the man himself who, I'm sure,is ready to impress..."

Harry cleared his throat, smiling slightly. He never was comfortable whenever people mentioned what he had done all these years. Taking a deep breath as Dean began strumming the song's melody, he addressed the audience.

"Errr..Hi.. I would like to... Uh.. I would like to dedicate this song to... you guys and everyone special to me, in my heart..."Harry said with a nervous and shaky voice. He cleared his throat.He looked straight and was unprepared to find himself staring into the sheer beauty of the girl he knew he could never have... His heart thudded even faster and closing his eyes,he began singing to them, what he felt, what he thought, what he knew...

You'll never know what you've done for me

What your faith in me has done for my soul

And you'll never know the gift you've given me

I'll carry it with me

Through the days ahead I'll think of days before

You made me hope for something better,

And made me reach for something more

Hermione who has just entered the room, coming back from the ladies, was immediately mesmerized with his voice. And when his eyes connected with hers for that brief few seconds or so, she knew the inevitable has happened.

You were the one

Always on my side

Always standing by

Seeing me through

You were the song that always made me sing

I'm singin this for you girl

Everywhere I go I'll think of where I've been

And of the one who knew me better than anyone ever will

Harry was in his own world as he sang the words and memories of the previous years flashed through his mind. The whole load of barriers and troubles he had faced all these time... And there she was, right by his side,all these time, the girl he knew he couldn't have but knew maybe she was the perfect fit he had been looking for all these time.

At that moment, Harry opened his eyes,hands clutching the mic, and stared straight into Hermione's eyes. He knew that he shouldn't but he couldn't tear his eyes away from her... With a smile, he broke into the chorus of the song.

You taught me to run

You taught me to fly

Helped me to free the 'me' inside

Helped me hear the music of my heart

You've opened my eyes, you've opened the door

To something I've never known before

And your love is the music of my heart

A part of him always knew they always got on well..Too well in fact... The untouchable barrier between them has always been a matter of interest,even among the others and even published once in by that scum Rita Skeeter.. Maybe she and others saw what he didn't .. Maybe...

You got through when no one could reach me before

'cuz you always saw in me

All the best that I could be

It was you who set me free

As his song came to an end, he finally tore his eyes away from her. The applause that greeted him surprised him. Every single person in the room was whistling and clapping with all their might. Thank God no one was throwing any rubbish towards him. He motioned towards Dean to come forward, and both of them bowed.

"A stellar performance by Mr HP here.. Anyone up for another rocking performance? We have invited a surprise guest and of course, there's no wizard band hotter than our very own WEIRD SISTERS!! Hey Harry,you should think about setting your own band if your whole career thing with You-Know-Who dont work out."

Harry laughed as he bowed down once again before going back into the crowd,who were patting him on the back. He was just about to move forward towards Hermione when Ginny appeared in front of him, beaming and jumping into his arms.

"You were sensational!! You deserve this drink!" Ginny said, her eyes twinkling mischieviously.

"err.. Thanks Ginny." Harry who was thirsty drank it all in one gulp and before he could even move towards Hermione, Ginny was already pulling his hand.

"Oh, come on... You were great. Have a little fun here with me and let's dance!" Grabbing his hand, Ginny manoeuvred Harry to the dance floor as the Weird Sisters played their signature song..Students jumping around, doing the boogie... Both of them danced and about a few feet away from them were Ron and Hermione .Although, one might say, Hermione wasn't actually doing much dancing.Her eyes were zeroed in on both of them and she felt very uncomfortable at the sight of Harry and Ginny.

On the other hand, Harry was surprisingly thoroughly enjoying himself. In fact, he was surprised, that he was no longer thinking about Ron or Hermione or any other stuff. It was just...just...Ginny.. A few sparkly lights flashed before his eyes and all he saw was Ginny smiling alluringly at him... Man,she looked great tonight... She always did but tonight, she was sizzling hot. Moving her slim hips this way and that, it somehow put Harry into a spell and he danced closer with her, whirling together with her as they moved to the rhythm of the beat.

Ginny grinned at the sight of Harry who was now putting her hands of the side of her waist. She knew it was wrong, but she just couldn't resist. She just had to do it.. For the sake of... Her eyes twinkled mischieviously as she and Harry danced. She knew this was worth it...

I loved the song... i was such a big fan of NSYNC last time and this song was like the perfect H/HR song for me... XD
