I don't own Harry Potter or the songs.
After breakfast
No ones POV:
Dumbledore got the sorting hat out, picked a slip of paper out of the cauldron and called "Hermione Granger!"
Hermione walked up to the stool confidently and sat down.
After a few minutes the sorting hat called "Hermione Granger will be singing 'Dark Side' by Kelly Clarkson.
Hermione started singing,
Oh, oh
Mm, oh, oh
There's a place that I know
It's not pretty there
And few have ever gone
If I show it to you know
Will it make you run away
Or will you stay
Even if it hurts
Even if I try to push you out
Will you return
And remind me who I really am
Please remind me who I really am
She's really good at singing, Harry thought.
Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me
Can you love mine
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me
Even with my dark side
Of course I'd still love you 'mione, thought Harry.
Like a diamond
From black dust
It's hard to know what can become
If you give up
So don't give up on me
Please remind me who I really am
Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me
Can you love mine
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me
Even with my dark side
Don't run away
Don't run away
Just tell me that you will stay
Promise me you will stay
Don't run away
Don't run away
Just promise me you will stay
Promise me you will stay
Will you love me
Oh, oh
Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me
Can you love mine
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me
Even with my dark side
Don't run away
Don't run away
Don't run away
Promise you'll stay
Everyone started clapping and Hermione went back to her seat.
Dumbledore called out "Harry Potter!"
Harry nervously, but confidently, walked up to the stage and sat on the stool.
It took half a second before the sorting hat called Harry Potter will be singing 'Welcome to My Life' by Simple Plan, 'Warrior' by Demi Lovato and 'Concrete Angel' by Martina McBride."
Everyone started whispering because nobody got three songs before.
Harry started singing 'Welcome to My Life',
Do you ever feel like breaking down
Do you ever feel out of place
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
People started whispering at the choice of song. Snape was feeling an inkling of regret about how he treated him.
Do you ever want to run away
Lock yourself in your room
With your radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming
No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what it's like
To be like me
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
Dumbledore felt a bit guilty at this.
To be kicked
When your down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
When no ones there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Some people started to realise what the song meant and gasped in sadness.
Do you want to be somebody else
Are you sick of feeling so left out
Are you desperate to find something more
Before your life is over
Are you stuck inside a world you hate
Are sick of everyone around
With the big fake smiles and stupid lies
Whiled deep inside your bleeding
No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what it's like
To be like me
Ron and Hermione felt guilty for not seeing this before.
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When your down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
When no ones there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
No one ever lies straight to your face
One or two people were feeling guilty.
And no one ever stabbed you in the back
Everyone who did that in fourth year were feeling majorly guilty.
You might think I'm happy
But I'm not going to be okay
Everyone always gave you what you wanted
Never had to work it was always there
You don't know what's it's like
What it's like
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When your down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
When no ones there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When your down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
When no ones there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Everyone was feeling sad and guilty and hoped the next song would be happy.
Harry started singing again,
This is a story that I have never told
I have to get this off my chest to let it go
What was he talking about, everyone was thinking.
I need to take back the light inside you stole
You're a criminal
And you steal like your a pro
All the pain and all the truth
I wear like a battle wound
So ashamed, so confused
I was broken and bruised
Now I'm a warrior
Now I've got thicker skin
I'm a warrior
I'm stronger than I've ever been
And my armour, is made of steel, you can't get in
I'm a warrior
And you can never hurt me again
Out of the ashes, I'm burning like a fire
You can save your apologies, you're nothing but a liar
Some people knew what this was about now and cried softly.
I've got shame, I've got scars
That I will never show
I'm a survivor
In more ways than you know
Cause all the pain and the truth
I wear like a battle wound
So ashamed, so confused
I'm not broken and bruised
Cause now I'm a warrior
Now I've got thicker skin
I'm a warrior
I'm stronger than I've ever been
And my armor, is made of steel, you can't get in
I'm a warrior
And you can never hurt me
There's a part of me I can't get back
A little boy grew up too fast
All it took was once, I'll never be the same
Now I'm taking back my life today
Nothing left that you can say
Cause you are never gonna take the blame anyway
Now I'm a warrior
I've got thicker skin
I'm a warrior
I'm stronger than I've ever been
And my armor, is made of steel, you can't get in
I'm a warrior
And you can never hurt me again
No oh, yeah, yeah
You can never hurt me again
Nearly everyone was sobbing.
Harry started singing for the last time,
He walks to school with the lunch he packed
Nobody knows what he's holding back
Wearing the same cloths he wore yesterday
He hides the bruises with linen and bags.
Snape now knew that the boy didn't have a perfect childhood, he had one worse than his own.
Oh, oh
The teacher wonders but he doesn't ask
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
Sometimes he wishes he was never born
He can't wish he was never born, he can't, Hermione thought desperately.
Through the wind and the rain
He stands hard as a stone
In a world that he can't rise above
But his dreams give him wings
And he flys to a place where he's loved
Concrete angel
Somebody cries in the middle of the night
The neighbours hear but they turn out the light
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
When the morning comes it'll be to late
Through the wind and the rain
He stands hard as a stone
In a world that he can't rise above
But his dreams give him wings
And he flys to a place where he's loved
Concrete angel
A statue stands in a shaded place
An angel boy with a upturned face
His name is written on a polished rock
A broken heart that the world forgot
Through the wind and the rain
He stands hard as a stone
In a world that he can't rise above
But his dreams give him wings
And he flys to a place where he's loved
Concrete angel
He finished the song than he ran to the Gryffindor Towers.
The whole hall was full out crying.
Professor McGonagall yelled at the Headmaster, "I told you the Dursleys were horrible, horrible people! I told you!"
While everyone had dinner they were thinking about Harry.
The next day everyone went back to school work and forgot about the contest, except a small amount of people including Hermione, Neville and Luna, those were his true friends.
