The HP Dance A/N: To the tune of "The Safety Dance" by Men Without Hats (I have filked the extended version here). It's the song of the HP fans as they read the new book and threw parties and drew closer as fans on that wonderful day, July 8. :-)
About the lyrics. First, the "they're no friends of mine" bit is NOT my opinion; I just couldn't think of anything else to put there. :-( And then there's the "W. I. Z. A. R. D." thing in the beginning. I was originally going to title this "The Wizard Dance," but then I realized that "HP" fit better there; it sounds more like "safety." But I liked the spelling part, so I kept it.

W. I. Z. A. R. D
HP. Dance!

We can read if we want to, we can leave your friends behind,
'Cause your friends don't read and if they don't read, well they're no friends of mine.
We can go where we want to, a place they will never find,
And we can act like we're from the wizarding world, leave the Muggle one far behind.
And we can dance . . .

We can read if we want to, we can leave your friends behind,
'Cause your friends don't read and if they don't read, well they're no friends of mine.
We can go where we want to, a place they will never find,
And we can act like we're from the wizarding world, leave the Muggle one far behind.
And we can dance . . .

Oh I hope it'll be there - night is late and so am I.
And we can dress up like Cho, from our hats to our robes, and we wish our brooms would really fly.
We've been waiting and waiting, so it will be quite a thrill
Finding out which of all the rumors will be true, and which character will be killed.

We can dance, we can dance
Listen to the story unfold
We can dance, we can dance
Every single book will be sold
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody hold up your wands
We can dance, we can dance
Workin' on our friendship bonds . . .
HP Dance . . .
Oh, the HP Dance . . .

W. I. Z. A. R. D
HP. Dance!

We can read if we want to, we have lots and lots of time,
As long as they don't spoil it, we can all enjoy it, everything will work out right.
We can read if we want to, we can leave your friends behind,
'Cause your friends don't read and if they don't read, well they're no friends of mine.

We can dance, we can dance
Listen to the story unfold
We can dance, we can dance
Every single book will be sold
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody hold up your wands
We can dance, we can dance
Workin' on our friendship bonds . . .
HP Dance . . .
Oh, the HP Dance . . .
(repeat to end)
