AN: Music gives me ideas.

Harry Potter sat on the train, headphones on and singing alone to his own cover of a song that I found on the internet and am currently spamming for fun. "and when ya smile with those fangs it ain't hard to tell! ya don't know oh oh! ya don't know that yer psycho!" He sung, light shining off of his sunglasses, which seemed to be ben stiller shades. "ah really need to get tha group together ta make more covers." He muttered, before lying down and putting the music on loop.

"Excuse me, have you…" A girl tried to say, looking in the wrong direction before sniffing the air and turning to Harry. "D4V3?" She questioned.

"hey tz, ah'm trying to sleep over here" He said annoyed.

"COM3 ON D4V3! DON'T YOU W4NN4 GO T4LK TO TH3 OTH3RS?" 'tz' whined.

"fine…" He grumbled, getting up and stretching, before turning to her. "d'ya know who ah am though?" He asked with a smirk.

"D4V3."

"yyyyenope." He told her with a grin. "ah'm harry potter" He corrected. "ah'm also dave strider" He added.

"J3RK!" 'tz' complained.

"everyone else in the room can see it! everyone else but ya…" He sung to the music with a grin.

"H3Y!" Tz joined in remembering the lyrics, making the boy that was Harry but also called Dave, jump.

"ah need to turn the music down…" He noted, pausing it and taking his headphones. "lets go." He told her, letting her lead him to their friends.

"GU3SS WHO 1 FOUND!" She shouted as she entered a compartment.

"WHAT IS IT TEREZI? MY THINKPAN FEELS LIKE IT'S ON FIRE!" A short boy shouted annoyed.

Dave silently sat next to the boy and started rubbing his head, making sure to pay attention to small bone-like nubs that came out of it.

"OH THAT FEELS GOOD…" He moaned.

"ah knew it! ya only like me for mah hands!" Dave shouted in mock horror, continuing to rub his head.

"DAVE PLEASE DON'T STOP… YOUR HANDS ARE JUST A BONUS… A REEEEAALLY… GOOD ONE…" The boy begged, melting into his hands like putty.

"TOLD YOU 1 COULD H3LP!" The girl, who was called Terezi, told the boy. "1 TOLD YOU K4RK4T!"

"WHATEVER…" The boy, karkat, said, ignoring her in favour of Dave's hands.

"ya like this?" Dave asked with a smirk, being sure to layer the sarcasm.

"YES. I LIKE IT AND YOU KNOW I LIKE IT SO DON'T STOP." Karkat agreed without a care.

"You know, it's gr8 how we can just get nu88y to shut up by throwing a massage at him." A girl wearing an eyepatch over her left eye noted.

"what's with the eyepatch?" Dave asked curiously.

"Vision 8fold here means my vision is all weird, and it's really annoying." The girl explained, flipping it up to reveal seven pupils all in the same eye, before she pulled it back down. "It's soooooooo hard to deal with..." She complained. "I'm 8asically blind in one eye..."

Dave gave a nod as he took his hands away, to Karkat's dismay. "can ah try something?" He asked, pulling something out of his pocket.

"A monocle? Really Dave?"

"ain't what ah'm after vriska!" He shouted annoyed, before pulling something else out. "darn, guess ah lost it." He realised, shrugging. "nevermind" He told her, going back to Karkat's skull and turning the poor guy into putty.

"OH THAT'S GOOOOOOOD…" Karkat moaned, leaning into him.

"ya'll should calm down a bit or people might get the wrong idea" Dave warned.

"OH! 1 JUST R3M3MB3R3D! 1 GOTT4 GO T3LL SOM3ON3 SOM3TH1NG!" Terezi shouted, running off, slamming into many walls as she did.

"ya kinda forget she's blind with how she acts" Dave commented, getting nods of agreement.

"YEAH. YOU ONLY REMEMBER WHEN SHE STARTS TO LICK YOU… UGH…" Karkat agreed, shivering a little. "YOU CAN STOP IF YOU WANT, BUT I WOULD LIKE MORE." Karkat told him, as Dave pulled his hands away.

"sorry, but ah gotta rest mah hands for a sec." He apologised.

"IT'S FINE." He said with a shrug, sitting up from where he had slumped until he'd fell from his seat.

"So, any 8et's on where she went?" Vriska asked with a smirk.

"either to find the others or to go find a secret lover" Dave said instantly.

"I'M GONNA GO WITH FIND THE OTHERS." Karkat decided.

"… soo… romcoms?" Dave asked quickly.

"HELL YES!"

"Can I watch? You never let me." Vriska asked.

"… ah don't mind" Dave agreed.

"… FINE… I GUESS." Karkat nodded, as they set up Dave's portable tv, loading up a romcom.

"Huh, haven't seen this one." Vriska noted.

"ah found this one in mah old files, haven't watched it yet though." Dave explained. "but online reviews seem to like it."

Hours later

Dave and Karkat entered the hall with Vriska bouncing behind them, the girl jabbering away about the movie they had ended up watching.

"IT'S CON AIR ALL OVER AGAIN…" Karkat complained.

"did i hear someone say con air?" A boy's voice said, sliding past towards Vriska.

"Hey John!" Vriska greeted happily.

"hey vriska!" The boy called John greeted back, high fiving Vriska.

"hey egbert" Dave greeted, giving John a fist bump.

"hey dave! seen rose lately? no? oh just wait then…" John snickered, giving a grin.

"ah got a song if ya wanna hear it later." Dave offered.

"yeah!" John nodded.

"Potter, Harry!" Dave rolled his eyes under the shades, the lightning bolt scar only visible when he was very sweaty.

"guess it's mah turn then" He noted, getting up and heading to the table, putting his headphones away from his neck and pocketing them. "mah names dave strider now and has been for a while" He told the lady before popping the hat on his head.

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

It had been ten minutes…

"…"

"…"

"…"

Dave took the hat off. "ah think ah broke it." He muttered, as he looked at his robes flicker between red and yellow.

"GRYFFINDOR" It finally decided, the robes staying red.

"alright." he nodded with a shrug, heading to the table.

Later

Dave and John sat in a room they had found, Dave setting up his phone to find the song that he'd recorded with Karkat. "ah got it ready." Dave told John, turning the song on along with a video of Karkat singing the song with Dave in the background providing background lyrics.

"FORGIVE ME IF IM BEING
TOO STRAIGHT FORWARD
I SOUNDED SO MUCH COOLER IN DAYDREAMS
BUT NOW MY HEART FEELS LIKE IT COULD
SHORT-CIRCUIT IF THERES NO ROOM
FOR ME IN YOUR ARMS
I'M SORRY THAT I TAKE TO APRIL SHOWERS
I NEVER WAS ONE
FOR CHEERFUL FLOWERS
BUT IT WAS YOU WHO
CAUSED MY HEART TO WAVER
YOU TURNED MY WHOLE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN
I WONDER IF YOUR STARS ARE ALL THE SAME AS MINE...?
SOMEDAY WE'LL MEET BENEATH CLEARER SKIES
IF I WAX SCARLET FOR YOU IN THE MOONLIGHT
A MOMENT LATER BLACK AS THOUGHT ITS MIDNIGHT
MY COMPLICATED FEELINGS EVER-CHANGING!
ARE LIKE THE PHASES OF THE MOON

CANCER CRYSTAL POWER!

I'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND
HOW HUMAN ROMANCE GOES
I SHOULD GIVE UP THEY SAY BUT I KNOW...
YOUR PRANKSTER GAMBIT
IS YOUR PROUDEST FEATURE
AND YOUR NOT HALF BAD TOO LOOK AT EITHER
THINK I MIGHT BE
ADDICTED TO YOUR LAUGHTER
YOUR OPTIMISM BLOWS ME AWAY
DONT SAY THINGS LIKE
I'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND YOU
IF I KEEP PUSHING THEN
I MIGHT BREAK THROUGH
AND EVEN IF I NEVER DO COMPLETELY
I WANNA TRY IT ANYWAY
I HAVE TO SOLVE THIS MYSTERY
-DONT ASK ME WHY
SOMEDAY WE'LL MEET BENEATH CLEARER SKIES
IF I WAX SCARLET
FOR YOU IN THE MOONLIGHT
A MOMENT LATER BLACK
AS THOUGH ITS MIDNIGHT
MY COMPICATED FEELING EVER-CHANGING!
ARE LIKE PHASES OF THE MOON
OH, I WANNA MEET YOU SOON
BENEATH A ROMANTIC FULL MOON!" The Video Karkat sung cheesily.

"wait… is this song… communism?" John asked shocked.

"yup" Dave nodded. "ah had the idea and got karkat to sing it"

"wow… when did you film this?"

"on the meteor, about the second year on april 14th."

"my birthday?"

"real late birthday present bud." Dave told him, giving a smirk.

"thanks!" John said with a grin. "this is probably one of those things i'll ask if we can watch when i'm depressed…"

"lions stick together bud." Dave told John, who was also a Gryffindor. Yeah I just stick 'em in Ravenclaw or Gryffindor, really simple that way.
