~*~HARRY POTTER AND THE SAVAGE GARDEN CONCERT~*~ ~*~Chapter Seven~*~
"Ladies and gentlemen...presenting, Australia's hottest musical duo, SAVAGE GARDEN!!!!!"
Cheers erupted through the stadium as the bright neon lights came on. Soon they saw the sihoulette of a duo standing in front of them...moments later there was a light on their faces, and they saw the smiles of Darren and Daniel.
Only Harry, Ron and Hermoine heard a voice saying "Lumos" just before the light went on.
The concert had a rousing start, with screams and sing-alongs filling the stadium. Hermione decided to give it a little charm, so she used her wand to release colourful sparks into the air. That made Ron very worried indeed.
"What on Earth were you thinking?!?" scolded Ron. "We'll be noticed!"
"They're all too busy watching Savage Garden to care," said Hermione, who was bouncing at the edge of her seat. "Now don't worry too much and enjoy the show!" Ron looked back at Darren, who was running around the stage singing I Want You. Darren saw the trio and winked.
"And a wink to you too!" laughed Harry. Darren just smiled.
It was already halfway through the concert. Savage Garden were performing Hold Me, and somewhere in the song he stopped for a moment and scoured the audience.
"What's he doing?" asked Harry.
"No clue," replied Ron. Just then they heard a squeal beside them. They turned around and saw Hermione pushed up on stage by a group of security guards.
"Look, Harry!" shouted Ron. "Darren's pulled up Hermione! She's on stage!" They looked at Hermione, whose arms were wrapped around Darren.
"Hey there," whispered Darren into Hermione's ear. "We meet again." Hermione was too happy to respond. This was something like a dream come true. She looked straight at Darren's eyes as Darren sang to her, hugged her and kissed her on her lips (like he always does at every concert), leaving Hermione very dazed indeed. Ron and Harry howled at Hermione, which made her threaten to attack them with her wand which was jutting out of her pocket. Harry and Ron just laughed, but suddenly Harry had a huge headache.
"Harry? Are you okay?" asked a concerned Ron.
"I think I am," muttered Harry, placing his palm on his forehead. "Don't worry about me too much...I'm fine, really." In reality Harry's forehead was burning, and Harry tried his hardest to concentrate on the performance.
Darren continued singing, and was leading Hermione to the edges of the stage when they heard a loud bang. Soon after the lights went out, and everybody screamed in panic.
"Darren...what's going on?" asked Hermione, shaking. Darren had taken her into his arms, sat down at the edge of the stage and kept her safe from danger.
"I have no clue," replied Darren. He looked at Hermione, then at the seats, which now only held a few people. Right at that moment, the lights came back on, and those few people screamed and left the building, leaving only Harry, Ron, Hermione and the Savage Garden band.
Actually the only bandmembers there were Darren and Daniel, as the rest had somehow disappeared.
"No...no, it's can't be..." groaned Harry. Ron was just too shocked to speak.
"What the heck is wrong with you?!?" yelled Hermione, holding tight to Darren.
"Look behind you..." mumbled Harry, rubbing his head. Hermione and Darren turned around and were shell-shocked at the sight they saw.
Instead of the usual neon lights, there was a new image...a skull with a snake coming out of its mouth. Hermione understood instantly.
