Hello, this is NatCatDrarryFan and the video above is the song 'Heartstrings' by Oh Wonder. It will come in handy later in the oneshot if you want to know what the song (that H&D are singing) sounds like. Please comment and review! Vote if you want to and enjoy reading! By the way, this story is un-beta-ed (so are all of my other ones, check them out if you want🙃) so please excuse me if I make any mistakes. You can comment if you see any mistakes that you want to tell me about. Thank you! ❤️

There was a talent show at Hogwarts. It was supposed to be some kind of school bonding thing. The headmaster let people do duets and trios, as long as every student performed in some way.
Dumbledore had enchanted it so that everybody had to share their best talent- no matter how embarrassing it was- and there was absolutely no way that any student could get out of performing. The headmaster made sure of that.
But Harry was feeling a bit shy about his talent. He was a singer and even though he had already hit puberty, his voice was still as sweet, soft and pure as it was when he was nine years old even though he was fifteen. Harry's boyfriend loved his unique voice though. He said it was magnificent, spectacular! Of course, Harry thought his boyfriend, Draco Malfoy was only saying that because they were lovers.
On February the third, all students' names came out of a small goblet that was in Dumbledore's possession- kind of like The Goblet of Fire that picked the students who put their name in the goblet to compete in the Tri-Wizard Tournament, a dangerous competition between (usually only three) wizards and/or witches who's names came out of the Goblet of Fire- except, the teachers enter every student whose name is registered for Hogwarts. The students' names went year by year. First-years first, in alphabetical order and seventh years last. Names will be called in alphabetical order by last name and whoever is called first goes first. It would also be mandatory for the teachers to participate too, not just students.
A week went by and Harry was meeting with his boyfriend in Draco's private dorm- Lucius Malfoy insisted that his son had a private room. Harry was under his Invisibility cloak and he was roaming the halls of Hogwarts, trying to remember the directions to Draco's private room. He was also trying to remember the password to enter the  dorm as well.
Hmm... Harry thought, was it 'Caput Draconis?' No, Harry, don't be stupid. Oh, I got it! It's 'Adeste Fideles!'
When Harry reached the portrait, he said the password and came into Draco's room. He was greeted with a 'Hey, love' from Draco.
"Hey, Dray," Harry said back, "I was wondering if we could come out to the school as a couple using the talent show. I have a plan!"
"Let me hear this plan and then we'll decide, okay?" Draco asked.
Harry whispered the plan into his boyfriend's ear- he wasn't really sure why though, they were in private- and once he was done, Draco said, "Sounds good, Love. Let's do it."
Somehow, a few minutes later, their meeting turned into a heated make out session. But soon, unfortunately, Harry had to leave to go practice for the stupid talent show but he had to meet with his friends in the library before he practiced.
A few weeks flew by and then, suddenly, it was February the third, the day of the Hogwarts Talent Show. Every single student was assembled in the now-crowded Great Hall.
"We'll begin shortly, students. We're just setting up the stage," Dumbledore said to the students. And with a wave of his wand- the Elder Wand- the stage was prepared.
"Now we can begin," Said Headmaster Dumbledore.
He grasped the large goblet and put it onto the corner of the stage where it rumbled, glowed and spit out the first student's name.
"Miranda Almagest!" Dumbledore called. And things just went on from there.
Names were called and acts were performed. Singers, dancers, magicians (well muggle ones anyways), rock climbers, sports fanatics, musicians and all of the other acts were performed.
Harry sat up straight when his boyfriend's name was called. Not just because he was excited to see Draco's act, but because he was going next! The first letter in Harry's last name came after the first letter Draco's. L, Longbottom, M, Malfoy, N, ?, O, ?, P, Potter.
Oh no, Harry thought worriedly.
It turns out that Draco was a piano player. Draco never told Harry that he played! He was really great!
Then, the moment Harry was dreading-but also anticipating- came.
"Harry Potter!" Dumbledore said loudly.
Oh god, oh god, oh god.
Harry got up on stage. A microphone appeared in front of him.
Harry smiled nervously at centre stage as he waited for the music to start playing.
When it started playing, he started to sing by himself, "Like two satellites in separate orbit
Like a quiet life that's slowly distorted
I was so lonely in love
I guess I was never enough."

Then, Harry jumped off stage holding two microphones and quickly walked towards to the Slytherin table and hopped onto it, walking briskly towards Draco and handing him a microphone. The two boys heard some audible gasps. Then, they both started to sing.

"Like two chemicals erupting in thunder
Up high in vertigo, you left me to wonder
I was so lonely in love
I guess I was never enough

[Chorus]
'Cause you were the best thing for me
Stole my mind and found my dreams
Baby, if only you could see heartstrings, heartstrings
Heartstrings, heartstrings
Best thing for me
Open the doors and set me free
Baby, if only you could see heartstrings, heartstrings
Heartstrings, heartstrings

[Verse 2]
Like two radios, our frequency fading
Why can't we start again without tessellating
I was so lonely in love
I guess I was never enough

Like the afterglow, your words were a million
Cut short, now heaven knows a love without feeling
I was so lonely in love
I guess I was never enough

[Chorus]
'Cause you were the best thing for me
Stole my mind and found my dreams
Baby, if only you could see heartstrings, heartstrings
Heartstrings, heartstrings
Best thing for me
Open the doors and set me free
Baby, if only you could see heartstrings, heartstrings
Heartstrings, heartstrings

[Bridge]
Stop pulling my heartstrings, my heartstrings
You got a grip on my heartstrings and I don't wanna take it no more
Stop pulling my heartstrings, my heartstrings
You got a grip on my heartstrings and I don't wanna take it no more

[Chorus]
'Cause you were the best thing for me
Stole my mind and found my dreams
Baby, if only you could see heartstrings, heartstrings
Heartstrings, heartstrings
Best thing for me
Open the doors and set me free
Baby, if only you could see heartstrings, heartstrings
Heartstrings, heartstrings

[Outro]
Baby, if only you could see heartstrings, heartstrings
Heartstrings, heartstrings."
The two fifteen year olds walked off the stage. All of the students and teachers occupying the Great Hall were clapping.
Once the lovers were backstage, Draco hugged Harry, kissed his forehead and said, "We did great, love, we did great."
And things only escalated from there.

Has anyone got any requests?
