~*~*~*~
November 12. It was not the most normal day Hogwarts ever had. The teachers gave up doing their job two days ago. Even Snape didn't care; none of the students listened to him. McGonagall was releasing students to go outside and socialize by the lake. Most teachers had just sent the students away to their respective common rooms after obtaining large headaches and, in McGonagall's case, migraines. What cased this madness? Two things.
One; Sirius Alexander Black was released of all charges filed against him. Peter Pettigrew had been found an brought in for questioning under Vertiserum. An hour later, Sirius was freed. He now started work at Hogwarts as the new Charms teacher (Prof. Flitwick had turned one hundred and wanted to retire). He was a surprisingly good teacher and was animated as he taught, easily keeping the students attention. Slytherins were having a hard time find a bad point in him to rag on.
Two; The Fifth Hogwarts Song and Kareoke Night was starting that Tuesday night at five thirty. The tension was thick enough to cut with a butter knife. The contest was for everyone who wished to would enter (teachers AND students) were to sign up then at a later date give the songs they wanted to sing. There would be voting for the best song and funniest song.
"Harry!" Ron suddenly appeared in the portrait hole to see his friend pacing nervously. "There about to start. We've got-"
"Fifteen minutes. I know, I know. I'm just nervous." Harry ran his fingers through his hair. Sweat was beading on his forehead and he wasn't even in the Great Hall.
"You mean. . . YOU ENTERED?!"
"Yeah. Remus helped me. He suggested a great song for me and helped me get the lyrics." Harry said looking up. "Is it time?" He voice shook.
Ron nodded.
"Coming. Go save me a seat."
Ron dashed out as Harry walked slowly. He sighed repeatedly and took many deep breathes. As he walked through the doors he had finished seven different prayers.
The Hall was devoid of the four house tables. Instead, about seventy small circular tables with purple velvet chairs, six to a table. The tables each had a lavender scented candle on them and had thick purple tablecloths on them that hung to the floor. All main lights were gone and the room was dark. The only real source of light was the half moon in the enchanted ceiling, shining down.
[A/N: I was about to put "full moon" but, ya know, I hate Remmie having to suffer tonight. I might have him sing later too. . . . ]
Most students were gossiping about who was going to sing what. Dumbledore took the stage.
"Students and teachers. This contest of singing talent happens only every five years. Please be attentive." The student quieted and took their seats. "Now. It is time to begin. From this point on, no flash cameras, laser sights, AND," Dumbledore look pointedly at the Weasley twins, "Magic fireworks or any prank items for that matter."
The twins were then confronted by Prof. Lupin who was holding a bag open toward then. The student body laughed as Fred and George stood and emptied their pockets, mumbling swear words. Lupin smirked as he patted their pockets, just to be sure, and sat back down next to Siri- I mean, Prof. Black. Black seemed ecstatic at the moment. Dumbledore noted this.
"Now, to start us off is a first place winner of this contest when he attended Hogwarts as a young Gryffindor. Allow me to introduce, Prof. Sirius Alexander Black!" Dumbledore walked of the stage area and took his seat by McGonagall, Snape, and Hagrid. Sirius dashed up the steps holding a microphone. He donned a leather jacket, black jeans, and a dark red shirt. "Ladies," Sirius winked at the females in the audience, "gentlemen," he smiled, "and oldies." He nodded to Dumbledore, who laughed. "This is "It's My Life" By Bon Jovi. Enjoy!" His smile grew even more.
[A/N: I got MP3 of this song and LOVE IT!!!! I thought Sirius would be perfect to do it.]
//This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed //
Everyone in the hall, except the people who had been in the school when Sirius was, gasped at his voice. It was strangely deep but had the ability to soar high, it seemed.
//I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud //
Sirius pumped the air in the beat of two pounds on the track. All the Gryffindors who got over their shock cheered loudly. Harry was of this number, though Hermione and Ron were gaping at Sirius.
//~It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life~//
By now all Gryffindors were on their feet dancing and coaxing other students up. Sirius sang harder, no aging had fallen on his voice in those twenty-ish years since last he did this.
//This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down //
All the Muggle-borns in the school cheered to this. Everyone was up except a few stubborn Slytherins. Most had already given in the beat and danced along with everyone else. Malfoy and his gang weren't up. Malfoy scowled at himself; His foot was tapping.
//Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks
~It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life ~//
Everyone started to sing along, most jumping up and down to the music that pounded in their ears. Hermione turned to Harry.
"Your godfather is the coolest person I've ever met!" She hugged Harry before jumping up and down again.
//Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down //
Harry caught Sirius' eyes looking at his own. Harry smirked and nodded to Sirius. That line was Harry's.
//~It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway

'Cause it's my life! ~//
The Hall exploded with applause as Sirius went off the stage. EVERYONE had been dancing at that point and shared the same thought. This was going to be one hellva night!
Sirius turned to the students tables instead of the teachers and joined Ron, Harry, and Hermione.
"You guys enjoy that?" He asked hoarsely, obviously out of breath and rightfully so.
"Did we enjoy it? Did we enjoy it?! Bloody hell! That was fabulous!" Ron exclaimed. Harry nodded.
"I agree." Sirius caught his eye and both smiled. Hermione looked at both of them.
"What? What did I miss?"
"Oh nothing." Sirius replied.
"AHEM!" Dumbledore was up on stage again. "I ask everyone to calm down and be prepared for our next contestant. . ."
