Beautiful Soul, Chapter 6

Jesse was amazing on stage. Song after song he had the audience captivated, Harry included. He couldn’t take his eyes off the other boy. Ron and Hermione were getting closer and ignored everyone except each other. The rest of the gang was too busy dancing around and joking with each other to care about Harry. Draco was the only one that noticed when Harry’s mood changed. He was the only one that saw the look of longing on Harry’s face.

Jesse took a five-minute break and Draco took full advantage of it. “So, Potter, you really do have a thing for my cousin, hmmm?”

“What is it to you, Draco? Why do you care so much?” Harry retorted.

“I was just trying to figure out what it is about someone with the Malfoy genes that would attract you,” Draco replied easily.

“Considering how I did not know he was related to you in anyway…” Harry started.

“Ok, fine. We will leave the genes out. What is it about him? Why him? Why would you be attracted to him?”

This line of questioning from Draco distracted Harry. In the shock of the moment he just answered. “Well, just look at him. Obviously! He is gorgeous. His blond hair, the way it falls, oh wow. His blue eyes, sweet Merlin. Have you seen eyes like that before? Then his voice, so clear and beautiful. His very tone can give me chills up and down my back. Then we move onto that body. Wow, so sexy…”

“Whoa, Harry! You sound like a rabid fan boy. Maybe I should warn my cousin that you are having impure thoughts about him.”

“What?” Harry blushed, “Sorry. You asked.”

Just then a spotlight appeared on Jesse walking back to the middle of the stage. Harry forgot he was talking to Draco. He realized he had made a mistake by telling Draco his deepest feelings for Jesse, but none of that mattered as he stared at the god coming towards the microphone.

Jesse had changed into skin tight, black leather pants and a black mesh shirt. His creamy skin was just staring out at Harry through the multiple holes. Harry’s mouth dropped. He couldn’t take his eyes off of the man in front of him.

He felt a hand push his mouth up and a whisper in his ear, “Keep it up, Potter, and I won’t have to tell him.” The voice sent shivers down his spine while his eyes remained glued to Jesse’s body.

Jesse started speaking and the crowd fell quiet. “I’m going to deviate a bit from our normal pattern,” he began. “How many of you know that we have a hero in our midst tonight? I’m sure not many know who he is or whom he battled, but let me just say he saved the world. Because of his heroic deeds, the world can continue on in the manner we have grown accustomed to. We are not oppressed right now because of him.”

“Sadly, he will not be mentioned in most history books. In fact, if you don’t know where to look, you will never find mention of him anywhere. I’m sure most of you think I’m completely nuts now, but I promise I’m not! Just blame it on me being a crazy American, we are truly insane!”

“Anyway, everyone, let’s hear a warm welcome for Harry Potter! Harry, come on up here. I have a seat just for you.” Jesse took a step to the side and there was a stool sitting just behind him.

Jesse looked down at Harry and beckoned him forward. Harry wasn’t moving, even with Hermione trying to push him forward.

Harry, in between being pushed forward by his best friends and being pulled forward by two beautiful dancers who had come down to escort him on stage, finally walked up to the stage. They led him to the stool where Jesse was waiting patiently for him. You could hear parts of the crowd cheering louder than others. Harry glanced around and noticed a few people he knew in the crowd. Apparently more wizards liked Jesse than he figured before. The twins were jumping up and down yelling out catcalls. Harry turned even redder than he thought possible.

Jesse started talking again, “He doesn’t look too much like a hero, does he?” He waited for the noise to die down before he started again. “Not what you would have expected but let me tell you this. I know I wouldn’t be performing here tonight if it weren’t for this man. On an even more surprising note, today is his birthday. His friends confirmed that with me earlier. So, for my hero, may all your birthday dreams and wishes come true.” Jesse looked to where Harry was sitting and grinned.

The music for Beautiful Soul began playing softly in the background as Jesse started his speech again. “On this note, my next song is being dedicated to you and your pure beliefs. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you. This song alone cannot express my gratitude nearly enough.” Jesse’s hand was on his heart as he started singing his number one hit song.

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

Jesse leaned down and ran a finger down Harry’s face as he started the song. Harry shivered. He blocked out the crowd and focused on the one he had dreamed of for so long.

Jesse, ever the performer, turned around and began to sing to the audience as well.

You're the one I want to chase
You're the one I want to hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

Jesse turned back towards Harry and walked to him. He kneeled in front of Harry on the stool and sang with a look of adoration on his face. His eyes met Harry’s and he continued.

I know that you are something special
To you I'd be always faithful
I want to be what you always needed
Then I hope you'll see the heart in me

His hands strayed to Harry’s legs as he stood up. He slowly squeezed Harry’s upper thigh as he turned to face the crowd. He moved to the other side of the stage and drew everyone in with his voice.

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I want to chase
You're the one I want to hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

Your beautiful soul, yeah

Jesse walked to the middle of the stage and looked down at Draco as he sang. He gave his cousin an evil grin and nodded his head.

You might need time to think it over
But I'm just fine moving forward
I'll ease your mind
If you give me the chance
I will never make you cry, c'mon let's try

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I want to chase
You're the one I want to hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

Jesse looked over his shoulder a few times at Harry during the performance. He winked at Harry a few times very suggestively. Then he turned and faced Harry with the following words, drove Harry to instantaneous love. In all of Harry’s wildest dreams he had never imagined that he would be onstage with Jesse McCartney singing to him, touching him, flirting with him. Harry knew that if Jesse asked him for anything, it would be his.

The crowd were on their feet screaming for Jesse by this point. Some had figured out that Jesse was attracted to the young man on stage, but they didn’t care. They continued to scream and sing along with him, as he sang to Harry.

Am I crazy for wanting you
Baby do you think you could want me too
I don't waste your time
Do you see things the way I do
I just want to know that you feel it too
There is nothing left to hide

Harry couldn’t believe that Jesse was actually singing this song to him. If he died right then, he would have died happier than he had ever been in his life. Jesse, running a hand down Harry’s back continued to the end of the song. Jesse’s hands drew circles over Harry’s back, teasing him and promising him that more would come. More would come if he were patient, of course.

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I want to chase
You're the one I want to hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I want to chase
You're the one I want to hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

Your beautiful soul, yeah

As the last strands of the song finished, Jesse walked over to Harry and had him stand up. “Harry Potter, on behalf of all that know of your deeds, I thank you. I appreciate what you have done. I know it would not have been possible if you didn’t have such a beautiful soul.” Jesse pulled him into a hug and his lips brushed the corner of Harry’s, so lightly that Harry did not even know if he really felt it.

Jesse then whispered in Harry’s ear, “Wait for me at the party afterwards.” With that he licked Harry’s ear quickly and released him. The crowd went insane at the site of the two boys embracing.

As the two beautiful dancers led Harry offstage, the guys grinned at Harry and pat him on the back on his way back to his seat. He sat next to Draco who was starring at him with a look of shock on his face. Harry smirked at Draco and then gave Jesse the rest of his attention.

Draco took advantage of that and leaned over and whispered in Harry’s ear, “I swear, I can’t take you anywhere without people fawning all over you. The only reason he wants you is because you killed the Dark Lord. He doesn’t care who you really are.”

The music started again. Harry tried to ignore what Draco had just said, but the words kept repeating themselves through his mind. The grin he had on his face became weaker and weaker.

Draco watched the transformation with triumph in his eyes.
