Fair and Tender Maidens

Lady Malfoy

Story Summary:
Hermione wants to enter a vocal contest, but can only do so if one boy agrees to sing with her. And only one boy will. Hermione has to get through rehearsals and teaching this guy the basics of singing. He doesn\'t understand most of it. Can they perfect the song and make it to the finals? If they can do that, can they do the dance required in the finals?

Chapter 05

Chapter Summary:
Hermione and Draco have decided to enter a music contest. Can they pull it off without falling in love? *This chapter is a little different from most. It's in owls between the different characters. Pansy, Blaise, Ginny, her friend, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Draco. Sorry for the change.

Owl To: Blaise Zabini, Slytherin

From: Pansy Parkinson, Slytherin

Are you all set for rehearsals after dinner? You’d better show up for this one. The others (mainly me) won’t take kindly to your being absent again. This is your final warning. Show up, or you’re out.

    

You understand what is at stake here. Don’t mess it up.

Owl To: Ginny Weasley, Gryffindor

From: Maryanne Brunswick, Ravenclaw

How can you still like him after what he did to you, Ginny? That was a total diss and you know it. If he thinks that he is so great that he can just say that to you, then he’s not worth having. Just forget about him. You don’t need him. If he loves someone else, and you know he’ll never get her, then he’s missing out on you. That’s his loss. Don’t make it yours.

    

Aren’t you looking forward to the contest? Are you even going to sign up? Did you sign up and not tell me? Details! Details!

~Maryanne

P.S. You actually told Harry about Malfoy loving Hermione? Is that true? Are you sure? Did you just make it up? Well, if it’s true, then I actually pity Granger. I mean, who wants someone like THAT for a boyfriend? He’s so pale! He almost looks sickly! I seriously think something’s wrong with him. Oh well, better him that us.

Oh, Mrs. Malfoy, keep your knickers on. I’ll be there. I told you I would. In fact, I PROMISED I would be there. And be grateful, I don’t promise many things to anyone.

    

I know, I know. Must you remind me of your love for him constantly? It’s so sickening. Can’t you go on and on about your old crush? That was SO much more bearable. If I hear you gush about him in the dormitories ONE more time, I will quit the group. You know I will.

~Blaise

P.S. It IS sickening, you know. It makes me want to gag. In fact, I think I’ll go do that now.

All right, Granger. You wanted to speak to me about some choreographed song. So, what do you have in mind? I’ll try not to be picky since I want to get this over with.

From: Ron Weasley, Gryffindor

What did you do to my sister?! I can’t believe you! You told her that you didn’t love her! Why????? You know she’s in love with you! How could you hurt her like that? How? And, WHY? You love her, don’t you????

A very disgruntled and upset Ron

Owl To: Blaise Zabini, Slytherin

From: Pansy Parkinson, Slytherin

I am NOT Mrs. Malfoy! Oh, God, I don’t even LIKE him. Why does everyone think that? No, no, no!! We already decided that we would never allow ourselves to be forced to marry each other. Our parents had discussed it. Draco was able to change his father’s mind. Luckily...

    

It is not sickening! He’s smart! He’s brilliant! Don’t diss my man!

~Pansy

Owl To: Ron Weasley, Gryffindor

From: Harry Potter, Gryffindor

First off, Ron, why didn’t you just tell me this in the common room this morning? It would have saved me three quills........

    

Damn! Woud have saved me FOUR quills.

    

Secondly, Ron, I do not love your sister. I never have. I didn’t mean to hurt her. I just couldn’t find a better way to explain how I was feeling. I’m sorry, Ron. I didn’t want to hurt her, but I couldn’t think of what else to say.

Wanting to remain friends,

Harry

Owl To: Draco Malfoy, Slytherin

From: Hermione Granger, Gryffindor

Well, these are my selections. We don’t necessarily have to use any of the ones that I chose. But this are the ones that I liked. If there’s something you have in mind, just owl me back.

1. “Can’t Help Falling in Love with You” by A*Teens

2. “Don’t Mess with My Man” by Nivea and Jagged Edge

3. “Could I Have This Kiss Forever?” by Whitney Houston and Enrique Iglesias.

Pick one.

Owl To: Maryanne Brunswick, Ravenclaw

From: Ginny Weasley, Gryffindor

You’re right. I must forget him. Just let it go. I don’t need Harry J. Potter. Not one bit. I’ll find someone else! I will! And you know what, I can!

Well, I did sign up for the contest. I was planning on singing a love song and hoping it would make Harry realize his endless and true love for me and then we’d live happily ever after. I think I’m going to have to change the whole idea and reasoning behind this performance.

I heard Hermione entered. I haven’t really ever heard her sing. So, I don’t know if she’ll be competition or not. Knowing my luck, Harry will hear her sing and fall even deeper in love with her. Just my luck.

~Ginny

P.S. He IS gross, isn’t he? He always looks like he’s exhausted. It’s not very charming. No wonder he never has a girlfriend. Yeeeccccchhh....
