Kumbaya
By LupineMoon
Harry was never sure if it was the eggnog he'd had that night, or because he was just so tired, but whatever the reason, his dream the night of Christmas Eve was the strangest one he'd ever had. At first he thought it was another one of those Voldemort induced visions. But he soon realized that it was just too…strange. Tommy-boy was not this creative.
At first, it just looked like a Death Eater meeting, but, Harry quickly noticed, that something wasn't quite right. He couldn't put his finger on it, until he realized to his amusement that the Death Eaters were sitting in front of a camp fire; s'mores, hot chocolate and all. And Voldemort was standing outside the circle of his followers, holding his wand like a conductor's baton. The next thing that happened almost had Harry having a conniption fit.
In a simpering voice that resembled Umbridge's Voldemort looked at his Death Eater's and said "All right, let's sing our anthem. Please make sure you sing it properly." Voldemort raised his baton, and to Harry's utter horror, the Death Eaters began to sing
Kumbaya my Lord, kumbaya
Kumbaya my Lord, kumbaya
Kumbaya my Lord, kumbaya
Oh Lord, kumbaya
Harry smiled at their choice of song. How fitting.
Someone's singing Lord, kumbaya
Someone's singing Lord, kumbaya
Someone's singing Lord, kumbaya
Oh Lord, kumbayah
"Yes, you are," Harry thought. "Very well, I might add, considering what kind of people you are. I didn't think any of you could sing."
Someone's laughing, Lord, kumbaya
Someone's laughing, Lord, kumbaya
Someone's laughing, Lord, kumbaya
Oh Lord, kumbaya
"Oh, yes we are, hysterically. Merlin, this should be something exhibited at the Ministry. That'd make people be less scared of Voldemort; which is exactly what we need."
Someone's crying, Lord, kumbaya
Someone's crying, Lord, kumbaya
Someone's crying, Lord, kumbaya
Oh Lord, kumbaya
"Crying with laughter that is."
Someone's praying, Lord, kumbaya
Someone's praying, Lord, kumbaya
Someone's praying, Lord, kumbaya
Oh Lord, kumbaya
"Yes. Praying that this actually happens in real life, since that would just be the funniest thing I've ever seen; it'd even rival Fred and George's tricks and that's saying something."
Someone's sleeping, Lord, kumbaya
Someone's sleeping, Lord, kumbaya
Someone's sleeping, Lord, kumbaya
Oh Lord, kumbaya
Oh Lord, kumbaya
Harry woke up, jerking awake as his eyes flew open. A huge grin appeared onto his face; threatening to turn into huge side-aching laughs. He buried his face into his pillow to stifle the noise. As much as he wanted to share this with everyone, he wasn't quite ready. Maybe in the morning; but for now, he would relish in those images alone.
