I know this isn't the original Pumpkin Snorters, but that was the name of my old thread, ages ago, so i thought i would keep it (it got deleted my old one)
heres the new dare

HALLOWEEN TALENT CONTEST!!!

Hermione was hiding backstage humming the tune for her new song, I’ve got a bunch of Coconuts, before she was to perform it at the Halloween Feast, only this year, she had to wear a costume for the event, so she dressed the part of the song she was singing, and was decked out with the grass skirt and all, she even had THE coconuts, if you know what I mean… So she was backstage behind a makeshift stage set up in the Great Hall. She peered out from behind a curtain and saw a few people missing, like Hagrid and seeing the Slytherin table; she noticed Draco was missing, along with his cronies, they were in the show, but Hermione didn’t know when. All of a sudden, lights dimmed and two figures walked out. “Hey everybody and welcome to tonight’s Halloween Feast Show!, We’re Crabbe and Goyle, and we are your hosts for this evening. So just sit back and watch the show, or just wonder how we’ve managed to spit out a few sentences, either way, first act is, The Proud Slytherin, Draco Malfoy”

Malfoy came out as Crabbe and Goyle walked offstage, Malfoy looked different, the school groaned as he came out in his pink sparkly tutu AGAIN. (They were somewhat sick of the amount of the fics that this author keeps placing him in a tutu, doing ballet.) But Malfoy did his routine anyways, showing a few new moves, but on the last pirouette, he over did the turn and almost fell. When he finished he ran offstage crying to a polite applause.

Next act was just uh... well let’s just say that Hagrid, in a dress, is NOT what everyone wanted to see and the fact he sung Unpretty originally by TLC… (Although the sight was rather unpretty itself...) Hermione shut her eyes for most of the performance though, and missed it... Lucky duck... at least she didn’t have to remember the experience. (A/n– I’m sorry it had to happen like this...)

A few more people came out, sung, danced and did all the Showy things they could, Crabbe and Goyle came out again and there was a small laughter rippling throughout the audience. Hermione had no idea why, but when she walked on after they introduced her, she noticed why, they had walked onstage wearing khaki shorts, flannelette shirts with gross denim jackets… and to top it off they were wearing platforms.... worse still was they were the kind that had real goldfish in them… She wondered what they were dressed as, because it sure wasn’t anything she’d ever seen before. It took all of Hermione’s strength not to change her routine to a last minute comedic routine.

The music started and Hermione zoned out (possibly not a good thing to do) and started hula-ing to the music and waited for the final note before the first line of the song, eyes still closed, she took a deep breath, she started her song “I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts, Diddly Dee, there they are all standing in a row bom BOM bom..” As she bom BOM bom’ed she bobbed up and down with each BOM. Big mistake… suddenly, she lost one of her ‘coconuts’ and although she still had her eyes closed she could tell what had happened. Sniggers throughout the hall told her what had happened, well also a voice, that sounded awfully like Harry’s yelled out WOW and another which sounded like Draco’s which shouted out WARDROBE MALFUNCTION!! To which everyone laughed and took the focus off his bad pirouette. Hermione never lost face though, she just continued her performance and ran offstage as soon as it was finished... and that, was the last ever Halloween Talent Contest...
