A/N: Everyone knows about the famous Twins' Escape in the fifth book! Something that should be put in Hogwarts, A History! Well, the twins had one more prank left to do, and it has been ticking like a time bomb, waiting for just the right day… People are bursting into song left and right! Hermione's POV and italics are thoughts. Bold are movements done during singing. Songs will have a different format.
A Very Curious Day for the Professors
The trio was in the Umbridge's classroom, reading textbooks that weren't worth the paper they were printed on. You would never have thought that Hermione was thinking that about any kind of book. Yet, here she was, looking at the book with no small amount with distaste. Hermione and the girls were on the left side of the room while the guys were on the right. Umbridge had done this to 'eliminate unwanted or unnecessary attention'.
Just because the only male that likes you is Filch doesn't mean you should ruin it for the rest of us. thought Hermione darkly. Some may notice that Hermione is uncharacteristically cranky today from her thoughts. Well, it might have something to do with the fact that Harry had more mood swings than Parvati on her time-of-month and that Ron wasn't exactly helping. After the twins' fantastic escape, Umbridge tightened her hold on Hogwarts. Of course, there were still plenty of pranks to keep the woman at bay. Even though most students felt hopeful after this, Hermione still worried about Harry. After the disbanding of DA, Harry had become more reclused than ever. She glanced over at her boys to see that Ron was trying his best not to fall asleep from the way he propped up his head with his arm. Harry's eyes were moving left and right, but Hermione could tell that he was unfocused.
All of a sudden, the strangest pop music started. It echoed in the large classroom. Everyone looked up in curiosity. It seemed to be coming from…everywhere. Umbridge did not look amused. Hermione turned around to see that she was glowing! There was an orange light around their plump professor. She looked shocked while the students were taken back at their glow-in-the-dark professor. She opened her mouth, most likely to accuse someone but this came out…
I'm Miss European Dream since I was 17
Don't matter if I step on the scene
Or sneak away to the Philippines
They're still gonna put pictures of my kitty cat in the magazine
You want a piece of me?
You want a piece of me...
I'm Miss good media karma
Another day another drama
Guess I can't see the harm
In working and being a teacher
And with a kid on my arm
I'm still an exceptional earner
And you want a piece of me
I'm Mrs. Lifestyles of the rich and famous
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. Oh my God that Umbridge's Shameless
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. Extra! Extra! this just in
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. she's too big now she's too thin
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. 'You want a piece of me?
'Tryin' and pissin' me off
Well get in line with the paparazzi
Who's flippin' me off
Hopin' I'll resort to some havoc
And end up settlin' in court
Now are you sure you want a piece of me?
(you want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. 'Most likely to get on the TV for jinxing on the streets'
When getting the groceries, no, for real..
Are you kidding me?
No wonder there's panic in this Ministry
I mean please...
Do you want a piece of me?
I'm Mrs. Lifestyles of the rich and famous
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. Oh my God that Umbridge's Shameless
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. Extra! Extra! this just in
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. she's too big now she's too thin

She shook her head while everyone gaped at their teacher. Labender looked ready to puke, seeing her pop idol's song sung by her of all people, Hermione had a feeling that the scene was probably burned into her memory, and she never listen to the song in the same way again. (Not that she listened to the song before. Ahem. Cough-cough.)
"Who. Did. That. To. Me?" said Umbridge dangerously. Everyone still gaped at her as she got her composure back.
"What are you all staring at? Get back to your books!" snapped Umbridge. It took a moment until everyone shook themselves out of shock until they looked back down at their books, discreetly sharing glances that clearly said 'Has the hag gone mental? Not that she wasn't mental in the first place'.
"Was that the strangest thing you've seen or what?" whispered Parvati. Hermione was about to reply when Filch ran into the classroom, emitting a familiar orange glow. He was wearing a wrinkled an disheveled tuxedo and was bearing flowers. He bent to one knee and looked at a bemused Umbridge. A guitar ballad started to play.
I don't mind where you come from
As long as you come to me
But I don't like illusions I can't see
Them clearly
I don't care, no I wouldn't dare
To fix the twist in you
You've shown me eventually what you'll do
I don't mind
I don't care
As long as you're here
Go ahead and tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
And do it all over again
It's all the same
Hours slide and days go by
Till you decide to come
But in-between it always seems too long
Suddenly
But I have the skill, yeah
I have the will, to breath you in while I can
However long you stay is all that I am
I don't mind, I don't care
As long as you're here
Go ahead and tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
And do it all over again
It's always the same
Wrong or Right
Black or White
If I close my eyes
Its all the same
In my life
The compromise I'll close my eyes
Its all the same
Go ahead say it
You're leaving
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are now
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same
Everyone was completely speechless at Filch. Umbridge was shaking in anger and indignantly scoffed.
"Get out, Argus!" said Umbridge, pointing a stubby finger towards the door, "I will never run to you. You're a squib!" While she was on a roll of insults at Filch's expense, Hermione couldn't help feeling sorry for the man.
He was right about her having a twist. You couldn't fix that even if you tried. thought Hermione with a grimace. She had never been more grateful for class to be over. The students couldn't get out of the door fast enough.
"What the bloody hell was that about? I nearly lost my breakfast!" said Ron as they finally got out of the classroom, getting away before Umbridge exploded, "If that was a prank, I'd love to know what the spell was."
"It sounds like some kind of behavioral spell, but I've never seen anything that makes people burst into song! I'll have to check the library for research during lunch," said Hermione predictably. Lee Jordan walked over there with a big smile on his face.
"Oh, you won't find the answer in the library," said Lee cheekily, "Call it a present from Gred and Forge. They've been…disappointed. They felt like they didn't quite do enough for the school before they left. They were able to cast a spell on the whole school last night when they snuck back for a few minutes. They were sending me some WWW supplies. It looks like the thing is working!"
"What is it?" asked Hermione, fascinated that the two troublemakers were able to make something this complex. Lee smiled.
"Just a combination of a karaoke box, speakers, and a truth charm. It'll make everybody sing at random times and will play their music in the background!" said Lee. Ron widened his eyes.
"E-Everyone?" stuttered Ron. Harry seemed interested as well.
"Yep, anyone who fancies someone will sing to them. People who don't fancy someone will just sing about the type of person they are or just something what they think," said Lee with a mischievous glint in his eyes. Hermione's jaw dropped as Lee left to tell other people. She was not about to let this prank make her embarrass herself like it did with Umbridge.
"W-Wow…umm…that's interesting," stuttered Ron.
"What's wrong with you? Niffler got your tongue?" asked Hermione, surprised to see Ron act so nervously.
"Oh, nothing. I'm coming, Neville!" said Ron loudly even though Hermione didn't hear Neville say anything. Hermione rolled her eyes as Ron hightailed it out of there.
"That was interesting to say the least," said Hermione. Harry nodded but didn't say anything. He was still speechless.
After what had happened, Umbridge had immediately called for an Auror to find out who had cursed her. Apparently, she wasn't allowed to ask Fudge because then it would be bad publicity. The irony was so thick you could cut it with a knife. She settled for a retired Auror. Enter Mad Eye Moody.
The trio had seen him stalking the corridors during break and were curious. They followed him, along with a few twenty other people, to see what was up. After about an hour, he told Umbridge that he found nothing that was Dark so was not allowed to do anything.
"Have you found the cause?" asked Umbridge shrilly, people still giggling under their breath about what had happened.
"No, the tricky little blighters hid it well, and…" Mad Eye Moody couldn't say anything else. Instead, he sang it as an orange glow surrounded him. He held his cane like an Asian fighting staff.
Let's get down to business
To fight the Dark Arts
Did they send me Slytherins
When I asked for Gryffindors
You're the saddest bunchI ever met [He painfully whacked Neville on the knee]
But you can bet
Before we're through
Mister, I'll make a Auror
out of you
Tranquil as a forest
But a fire within
Once you find your center
you are sure to win
You're a spineless, pale
pathetic lot
And you haven't got a clue
Somehow I'll make a Auror
out of you
(Be a man)
You must be swift as
the soaring broomstick
(Be a man)
With all the forceof a great griffin
(Be a man)
With all the strength
of a raging hippogriff
Mysterious as the
dark side of the veil
Time is racing toward us
till the fight arrives
wizard stands with wizard
and we will survive
we're prepared to face the rage of war
and we know just what to
I knew I'd make a Auror out of you!
(Be a man)
You must be swift as
the soaring broomstick
(Be a man)
With all the force
of a great griffin
(Be a man)
With all the strength
of a raging hippogriff
Mysterious as thedark side of the veil
Hermione recognized the tune from Mulan and couldn't believe Moody just manipulated it for the wizarding world. All the muggleborns were either laughing their hearts out or trying to explain to their friends what was so funny. Moody shook his head and preceded to run, or limp I should say, out of the castle with great haste.
Umbridge watched him leave with an indignant face.
"You haven't gotten rid of the blasted thing yet! Alistair! Get back here right now!" yelled Umbridge as she chased after him. She couldn't run very fast due to her high heels. Hermione wished that she would trip, but nothing doing.
A/N: I own the way I had maniped the songs in fit the HP world. The songs were "Piece of Me" by Brittany Spears, "All the Same" by Sick Puppies, and "Be a Man" from the Mulan soundtrack. I feel so sorry for 'All the Same'. I really liked that song.
