Draco didn't like at all the looks that Blaise was giving Hermione. They were due to go on in an hour and Draco was suffering from (but he'd never admit it) pre-gig nerves.

It didn't help that Seamus was completely hyper, and was teasing Draco. Hermione giggled when she saw that Draco was nervous. She went over to sit with him. Zacharias gave her an impressed look and accidentally on purpose bumped into her while she was on her way just so he could feel her up.

Hermione raised an eyebrow when he grinned and told her that she had a nice rack. She said silkily, "Really, Zach?" The idiot nodded and Hermione pulled back and punched him straight on in the nose. It started bleeding and he screamed and stalked out.

"GRANGER!" Malfoy could not believe that she'd just broken his bassist's nose. Hermione giggled, which didn't help Draco's anxiety. She walked towards him and Draco took a moment to admire the way she looked.

She was dressed in a red corset top that highlighted all her perfect curves and her perfectly flat stomach, he knew she would go change between every three songs and he wondered what she had in store for them. She was wearing tight black jeans and simple red stilettos. Her hair was wild and soft and curly and loose and Draco just wanted to run his hands through it.

Zacharias came back, looking peeved. Hermione grinned at him. "Come on, Smith," Seamus yelled at him. "No need to be a prima donna about it." Hermione smiled at Smith and he smiled back.

Hermione turned her back to the rest of the band and faced Draco. "What's up?" She asked him softly. Draco shook his head in an attempt to clear his head. "I always get like this before a gig, and it's only worse since those three are on their way to being smashed."

Hermione giggled. "Malfoy, a little alcohol never hurt anyone." He rolled his eyes at her.

"Mione!" Seamus yelled from across the room. "Get that sexy blonde over here so we can decide what order we're singing the songs in." Draco felt his stomach drop and Hermione tugged on his hand and pulled him towards the other three.

"Granger, didn't we already decide this? We're on in three minutes." Hermione flicked her wand and a fire-whiskey appeared. She thrust it at Draco. Just then Pansy came in and squeaked, "Two minutes, everyone."

Right then, Draco really started panicking. Hermione took charge. "All right, you guys, we don't need to worry about what order were singing the songs in, I'll get the message to you. We take a break every three songs, so we'll be good. I think Blaise is going to introduce us, right?" Blaise nodded. "All right!" Said Hermione, invigorated.

They stepped out onto the stage and took their places. The songs that they had to sing were not of one genre, they were all different, there was some dance, some pop, some indie, some everything.

Hermione got it into their heads that they were going to start out with "In The Morning" by "Razorlight"

Draco liked the song, but he didn't like the exaggerated British accent he had to put on when he sang it. The song had a lot of drumming involved, so it would warm Blaise up pretty good. Draco and Blaise were probably going to switch positions for one song that Blaise could sing much better than Draco could sing.

Blaise grabbed the mike and started pumping up the crowd; Draco would admit grudgingly that Blaise really could get a crowd on their feet.

"You guys look so good tonight!" He yelled. "First off, I'm gonna introduce this ass kicking band that I'm performing with tonight. Tonight, we are two bands performing together just for YOU!" The crowd cheered loudly.

He turned to look at Hermione. "This absolutely gorgeous lady is one of our lead singers. She's famous in her own right, not only because she's the most fucking brilliant witch of our age, but also because she has a perfect voice and because she can play a mean guitar. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Hermione Granger!" The crowd let out a deafening roar.

He then turned to Seamus. "This Irishman officially has the highest ever number of groupies for a keyboardist." Blaise chuckled. "He has the fastest fingers I've ever seen and he's not even half bad to look at. His voice isn't that bad, if you can get past the accent." Blaise laughed, so did Seamus but he shot Blaise the finger. Some of the crowd booed Blaise, but it was all in good humour.

Blaise continued, "Give it up for Seamus Finnegan!" The crowd let out another deafening roar. Blaise turned to Zacharias. "This bassist can make up songs like he's breathing, he knows the perfect strings to pull to make all the ladies swoon. He plays bass like its in his blood and he's a great friend of mine. Come on, let's hear it for Zacharias Smith!" A slightly less deafening roar, but a deafening roar, none the less.

Blaise turned to Draco. "All right people, the last person I'm going to introduce has known me since we both turned two. He's handsome, arrogant and pretty damned rich, as if that wasn't enough, he can also play guitar like nobody I know and has this killer ability to sing anything. He's pretty smart too, actually gives Hermione a run for her money. Yeah, I know I should stop now but I can't, he plays the drums almost as well as I do." Everyone laughed. Blaise continued, "But he's sort of nervous tonight, give him a hand to help get past that!" That got the loudest cheer from the crowd.

Hermione grabbed her microphone from its stand. "Before we let Blaise introduce himself and bore us to death with his self praise, let me introduce him." Everyone laughed and cheered Hermione on.

Draco was feeling less nervous as time went on; he was actually having fun. He'd forgiven Blaise; most men would act like that if dumped by Hermione. He couldn't believe that Blaise and Hermione had been together, but he'd get the full story from her later.

"This guy right here," She pointed at Blaise, "Is fucking hot, isn't he?" The crowd cheered and Draco swore he saw a girl in the front row actually faint. "He's also the best drummer I've ever met, he taught me the basics of guitar when we were little kids, he also encouraged me to sing. He's the reason I'm right here. Let me hear your love for him, people, Blaise Zabini!" The crowd let off a cheer to rival Draco's.

What she'd said was all news to Draco. He really was going to get the full story after the show.

The first three songs they sang went off without a hitch. The crowd absolutely loved them. At the first break, Hermione came back wearing a brown t-shirt, a short black skirt and big, black boots. Her hair was long and she looked great. Draco smiled as he thought of how her attire would fit in with his song.

Blaise addressed the group; "I'll sing my song now. Is that OK?" They all nodded, but Hermione looked somewhat confused. "What song will you sing Blaise?" She asked.

He looked her right in the eye when he answered. I'm going to sing, "Lying Is The Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off" by "Panic At The Disco".

Hermione's eyebrows furrowed as she tried to think of the song. Blaise saw this and said, "Don't worry, the guitar is damned easy, you'll manage, and don't worry, as soon as I start singing you'll know what I'm doing"

The song was bothering Draco for some reason. He knew the drumming but he couldn't remember the lyrics. Blaise turned to him and winked. Draco didn't like the wink; it was too much like his when he had something up his sleeve.

They stepped onto the stage and Draco took a deep breath. Something was about to happen.
