A/N: this is my second d/hr fic. I love music and so I thought I would try to incorporate my favorite things into one: music, Draco/Hermione pairing, Harry/Ginny pairing, and fanfiction. I know this chapter is short, but hopefully they will get longer as I continue. This chapter is just more or less the foundation for the fic. And those of you who are reading my other story The Prayer, don't worry I will continue it I just don't know where to go with it right now so I'm trying something different at moment. Please read and review, and Flames are UNWELCOME, cause if you don't like the story then don't read the rest and move on....on with the story....
Disclaimer: I don't really see the point in these, because seriously if I owned Harry Potter then why in the world would I be writing FANfiction. Please explain that one to me....
Battle of the Bands
Chapter One: Past the Limit
"Granger, you better watch yourself and your friends too!" yelled 17 year old Draco Malfoy. "Or else what!?! Going to send daddy after me?" Draco smirked at the feisty,Hermione Granger. "Like I said, you better watch out for Pothead and Weasel, because you never know when they just might have a little accident." Draco then turned and began to walk away, but Hermione wasn't going to let him get away with that.
Her rage for that insolent prat was so great from all the years of insults and threats that she just couldn't take it anymore. She threw down her wand and schoolbooks and she ran as fast as she could and jumped on his back, (she had a ways to jump since he was 6'3 and she was 5'1, so it surprised him). Although she was tiny she packed a hell of a punch, "I'm gonna kill you, you sorry arse rat bastard!!!!" she yelled as she dropped him to the floor. They wrestled on the floor for a little bit, and Draco almost got the upper hand when all of sudden someone out of nowhere shouted, "Immobulus!" The two froze immediately in their position. Hermione's hands were balled up into fists and Draco had both her wrists in one hand and was almost straddling her. They both had looks of fury on their face.
Their eyes wandered to see who had cursed them only to see the stern faces of Professors McGonagall and Snape. Snape spoke first in his normal apathetic voice, "Now, while you two are just umm...there listen to every word Professor McGonagall has to say." Professor McGonagall stepped to where they could both see her out of the corner of their eyes. "I must say that I am totally and completely appalled at your behavior! You two are Head Boy and Girl for goodness sakes! You two are supposed to set the example for the lower years! I don't care who started it! I must say especially that I am disappointed in you Ms. Granger for gallivanting in such ill manner! And Mr. Malfoy must you always instigate?! I think I may need to ask Professor Dumbledore to reconsider his judgment in giving you two the Head Positions," Hermione and Draco's eyes grew very wide when she said that. "well no matter, you both will receive detention and 50 points will be taken from each house."
Then she muttered the counter curse. They both scrambled up and dusted off their robes. As Professor McGonagall was done lecturing them Snape decided to put in his two bits. "Now for tonight I think it best if you two aren't in the same vicinity, who knows which one of you we'd find in a matchbox in the infirmary, and so Ms. Granger you will go back to Gryffindor Tower for the night, and Mr. Malfoy you will go to Slytherin House. So for tonight I call for a truce." Draco and Hermione shook hands without looking at one another. "Now goodnight and we'll have our eyes on both of you." McGonagall said as she and Snape turned around and walked away. The lioness and serpent stood there for a moment, but Hermione broke the silence, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have jumped you even though you deserved it." He smiled the trademark Malfoy smirk as he spoke, "It's ok Mudblood, women, Mudblood or not can't resist me." "Malfoy?" "Yes?" "You're disgusting" with that Hermione picked up her stuff and headed toward Gryffindor Tower.
Not too far away, Professors McGonagall and Snape could be spotted ascending the steps to Dumbledore's office. "Albus, this has gotten completely out of hand!" McGonagall shouted as she approached Dumbledore. "Sir, you know that I'm not all for Slytherin and Gryffindor being great friends, house unity, or anything like that, but after what we witnessed today, I fear something needs to be done and quick or else we may have an interhouse civil war." Spoke Snape. "I assume you both are referring to our Heads, Ms. Granger and Mr. Malfoy." Dumbledore said very calmly. They both nodded. Dumbledore stood up and started to walk towards them, "I know exactly what you mean, they have gone past our limit and their hatred will either destroy them or someone else. So I think that they need another outlet of their anger," McGonagall noticed a twinkle in his sapphire eyes, "What are you getting at, Albus?" He smiled, "well, Minerva as I'm sure you know that Ms. Granger, Mr. Potter, and Mr. & Ms. Weasley have started a band?" "yes." She nodded. "And Severus you are aware that Mr. Malfoy, Mr. Crabbe, Mr. Goyle, and Mr. Zabini have started one as well?" Snape rolled his eyes, "Yes, that loud banging they call music could wake up the dead, but what are you trying to say?" Dumbledore looked at Severus, and smiled, "well, music is a wonderful way for young adults such as our students to express themselves so I was thinking..."
