The (Hogwarts) Voice!

Harry and Draco stood in the staff room, determined not to notice the disgruntled glare from Ginny. They were, however, amused at Blaise and his hungry smirk whenever the golden brown eyes found themselves sliding over the fiery redhead.



"Weasley, Zabini, you\'re up." Said a nondescript student, poking his head into the room.



Harry and Draco followed the two out, arranging themselves along the wall, close enough that they could feel their body heat without having to touch. Blaise was first apparently, and the two boys jumped as they realized it was by the same artist.



"I like your pants around your feet

And I like the dirt that\'s on your knees

And I like the way you still say please

While you\'re looking up at me

You\'re like my favourite damn disease."



Blaise growled out, harshly. He had eyes for Ginny, who stared at him impassively.



"And I love the places that we go

And I love the people that you know

And I love the way you can\'t say no

Too many long lines in a row

I love the powder on your nose"



Blaise crooned, circling the tall, slender girl.



"And now I know who you are

It wasn\'t that hard, just to figure you out

(Now I did, you wonder why)

And now I know who you are

It wasn\'t that hard, just to figure you out

(Now I did, you wonder why)



I like the freckles on your chest

And I like the way you like me best

And I like the way you\'re not impressed

While you put me to the test

I like the white stains on your dress"



He sang, lost to the music and the damned woman that he was forced to be around and take a closer look at.



"And I love the way you pass the check

And I love the good times that you wreck

And I love your lack of self-respect

While you passed out on the deck

I love my hands around your neck"



Blaise seemed to have forgotten that the round was a battle against the other team and not just a statement. Draco and Harry watched, bemused.



"And now I know who you are

It wasn\'t that hard, just to figure you out

(Now I did, you wonder why)

And now I know who you are

It wasn\'t that hard, just to figure you out

(Now I did, you wonder why)

(Why not before, you never tried)

(Gone for good, and this is it)"



Blaise stopped circling the redhead and Ginny\'s face shown confusion and wariness as it hit her what the Slytherin was doing.



"I like your pants around your feet

And I like the dirt that\'s on your knees

And I like the way you still say please

While you\'re looking up at me

You\'re like my favourite damn disease



And I hate the places that we go

And I hate the people that you know

And I hate the way you can\'t say no

Too many long lines in a row

I hate the powder on your nose



And now I know who you are

It wasn\'t that hard, just to figure you out

(Now I did, you wonder why)

And now I know who you are

It wasn\'t that hard, just to figure you out

(Now I did, you wonder why)

(Why not before, you never tried)

(Gone for good, and this is it)"



Blaise concluded, throwing his hands wide with a gesture that clearly said \'here the fuck I am, now do something about it!\'



Ginny gave him one last look before turning to the crowd. The hard beat from Blaise\'s song faded to be replaced by a nicely juxtaposition from Ginny\'s. She blatantly fixed her eyes on Harry\'s, singing.



"I thought I saw a man brought to life

He was warm, he came around like he was dignified

He showed me what it was to cry



Well, you couldn\'t be that man I adored

You don\'t seem to know

Seem to care what your heart is for

But I don\'t know him anymore



There\'s nothing where he used to lie

The conversation has run dry

That\'s what\'s going on

Nothing\'s fine, I\'m torn



I\'m all out of faith

This is how I feel

I\'m cold and I am shamed

Lying naked on the floor



Illusion never changed

Into something real

I\'m wide awake and I can see

The perfect sky is torn

You\'re a little late, I\'m already torn"



Ginny sang, her voice wavering slightly as she looked at Blaise, who had came to stand next to her, hand resting on her shoulder. Ginny continued, to Harry.



"So I guess the fortune teller\'s right

Should have seen just what was there

And not some holy light



It crawled beneath my veins

And now I don\'t care, I had no luck

I don\'t miss it all that much

There\'s just so many things

That I can touch, I\'m torn



I\'m all out of faith

This is how I feel

I\'m cold and I am shamed

Lying naked on the floor



Illusion never changed

Into something real

I\'m wide awake and I can see

The perfect sky is torn

You\'re a little late, I\'m already torn, torn



There\'s nothing where he used to lie

My inspiration has run dry

That\'s what\'s going on

Nothing\'s right, I\'m torn



I\'m all out of faith

This is how I feel

I\'m cold and I am shamed

Lying naked on this floor



Illusion never changed

Into something real

I\'m wide awake and I can see

The perfect sky is torn



I\'m all out of faith

This is how I feel

I\'m cold and I\'m ashamed

Bound and broken on the floor

You\'re a little late, I\'m already torn, torn"



She concluded, staring sadly down at Harry. Amid the applause, Ginny turned and took Blaise\'s hand, which he promptly brought to his mouth in a light kiss.



Harry and Draco ascended the steps, slowly, as Blaise and Ginny descended. There was acceptance in her face and even tossed him a weak smile before moving on. Stationed on the stage, Harry and Draco faced each other, both wearing identical slacks and shirts, only Draco wore bottle green like Harry\'s eyes and Harry wore a shimmering silver, to match Draco\'s. The first bars of Draco\'s song started, and they had agreed before that Harry was to be the backups, not magically enhanced ones.



"I\'m through with standing in line

To clubs we\'ll never get in

It\'s like the bottom of the ninth

And I\'m never gonna win

This life hasn\'t turned out

Quite the way I want it to be"



"Tell me what you want." Harry groaned deeply.



"I want a brand new house

On an episode of Cribs

And a bathroom I can play baseball in

And a king size tub big enough

For ten plus me" Draco said, moving across the stage, energy rising with the beat.



"So what you need?" Harry intoned.



"I\'ll need a credit card that\'s got no limit

And a big black jet with a bedroom in it

Gonna join the mile high club at thirty-seven thousand feet"



"Been there, done that" Harry scoffed, waving a hand.



"I want a new tour bus full of old guitars

My own star on Hollywood Boulevard

Somewhere between Cher and James Dean is fine for me.." Draco sang, throwing his head back in a regal pose.



"So how you gonna do it?"



"I\'m gonna trade this life for fortune and fame

I\'d even cut my hair and change my name" he said, pulling his blonde hair from its tie, letting it fall around him like a waterfall.



"\'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars

And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars

The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap

We\'ll all stay skinny \'cause we just won\'t eat

And we\'ll hang out in the coolest bars

In the VIP with the movie stars

Every good gold digger\'s gonna wind up there

Every Playboy Bunny with her bleached blond hair, and well



Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar" he sang, Harry nodding like it was a reasonable request.



"I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels

Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes

Sign a couple autographs so I can eat my meals for free"



"I\'ll have the quesadilla, ha, ha" Harry quipped.



"I\'m gonna dress my ass with the latest fashion

Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion

Gonna date a centerfold that loves to blow my money for me.."



"So how you gonna do it?" Harry asked in that deep voice.



"I\'m gonna trade this life for fortune and fame

I\'d even cut my hair and change my name" he crooned, swirling around to stalk the brunette.



"\'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars

And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars

The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap

We\'ll all stay skinny \'cause we just won\'t eat

And we\'ll hang out in the coolest bars

In the VIP with the movie stars

Every good gold digger\'s gonna wind up there

Every Playboy Bunny with her bleached blond hair." Draco sang, his voice ringing out clear and firm, stopping in front of Harry, grabbing his collar to pull him close.



"And we\'ll hide out in the private rooms

With the latest dictionary and today\'s who\'s who

They\'ll get you anything with that evil smile

Everybody\'s got a drug dealer on speed dial, well" there was a few gaps from the front of the crowd, shocked to see Draco willingly touching Harry, and Harry allowing it.



"Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar



I\'m gonna sing those songs that offend the censors

Gonna pop my pills from a pez dispenser

I\'ll get washed-up singers writing all my songs

Lip sync \'em every night so I don\'t get \'em wrong..." Draco sang, flinging his hand in the direction of Blaise and Ginny, the former with his arm around the latter.



"Well, we all just wanna be big rockstars

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar" he finished to roaring applause. He stepped back, eyes on Harry for his turn.



"You want to rock with me, Draco? I\'ll show you how it\'s done." He purred into his broadcasting wand, voice dripping with sex. Just then the heavy, intoxicating riff started, then followed with drums and bass. Harry growled out the lyrics, the sweet and sultry voice from his audition song forgotten.



"Well it\'s midnight, damn right, we\'re wound up too tight

I\'ve got a fist full of whiskey, the bottle just bit me" he sang, returning the collar grab Draco did earlier but one upped the blonde by sliding his hand down Draco\'s chest to dip his fingertips into the waistband, in an unmistakably demanding gesture.



"Oh

That shit makes me bat shit crazy

We got no fear, no doubt, all in balls out!" He cried harshly, tugging the waistband possessively.



"We\'re going off tonight

To kick out every light

Take anything we want

Drink everything in sight

We\'re going till the world stops turning

While we burn it to the ground tonight!" He screams, turning to face the crowd, and flinging his arm out.



"We\'re screaming like demons, swinging from the ceiling

I got a fist full of fifties, tequila just hit me



Oooh

We got no class, no taste, no shirt, and shit faced.

We got it lined up, shot down, firing back straight crown" Harry sang, turning back to the blonde with a lecherous grin, which was returned. They circled each other, Harry picking up the chorus, and the crowd picking up on the very palpable tension between the two.



"We\'re going off tonight

To kick out every light

Take anything we want

Drink everything in sight

We\'re going till the world stops turning

While we burn it to the ground tonight" there was about thirty seconds of instrumental accompaniment and in the time it took, the two stopped circling and invaded each other\'s space, Harry\'s back to the crowd. He gave a heated look to Draco and nodded to him, smiling as the blonde stepped around him and sang to the crowd in his sultry tenor, Harry chuckling darkly into his wand.



"Ticking like a time bomb, drinking till the nights gone

Well get you hands off of this glass, last call my ass

Weeeell no chain, no lock, and this train won\'t stop

We got no fear, no doubt, all in balls ouuuuut!" Draco screamed, watching as Harry placed himself at Draco\'s side, slipping an arm around his shoulders.



"We\'re going off tonight

To kick out every light

Take anything we want

Drink everything in sight

We\'re going till the world stops turning

While we burn it to the ground tonight

Oh

We\'re going off tonight

To kick out every light

Take anything we want

Drink everything in sight

We\'re going till the world stops turning

While we burn it to the ground tonight!" They sang together in perfect unison, Harry\'s lower tone complimenting Draco\'s slightly higher range.



The music stopped and they stared out at a mass of open mouths and wide eyes. Harry threw caution to the wind and hoped Draco would pick up what Harry was doing. He turned to the blonde and said into his wand.



"No fear." Harry said, looking at him intently.



"No doubt." Draco replied slowly, comprehension lighting up his face, nodding.



"All in?"



"Balls out!" They chanted in unison and smiling before leaning close and locking their lips together, mouths open and searching. The room erupted in furious applause, cat calls and whistles.
