I'd like to dedicate this to J.K Rowling for such cool characters. To Joss Whedon for such a cool show, and finally to Karen (Moonlighting) for being a cool friend, a great beta reader and just generally a lovely person. Lol!
Sorry to all Die Hard Buffy fans, for changing some of the words to songs. I love Buffy and it was a rench to me too!

Last time on Harry Potter:
You see Voldermort killing Hermione's family and Draco saving her life and helping her fight.
You see Hermione being hit by the jinxes and her friends being told there isn't much hope
You see Hermione being brought back to life by Lavender, Ron, Harry and Parvati.
You see Harry and Lavender fighting with each other then you see Harry mixing a potion with a flower and slipping it into Lavenders wine.
You see Lavender finding the flower and putting it in her hair
You see Ron asking Parvati to marry him and her saying yes
You see Hermione thanking Dumbledour for looking after a disciplinary problem with Ginny
Harry Potter Episode 4 'Once More With Feeling':
Hermione sighed as she hurried towards Dumbledour's quarters. She paused and straightened her black, gold tipped, silver clasped robes and then knocked on the door and entered.
'Miss Granger we were getting worried you weren't coming.'
'Sorry Professor Dumbledour. I got talking to Ginny.'
Hermione looked round at the familiar faces her. Ron and Harry looked relieved, Lavender and Parvati looked pretty indifferent. Dumbledour's eyes sparkled with something that looked a lot like worry and Draco Malfoy feigned annoyance, though his thankfulness and another spark Hermione had been trying to ignore lately showed clearly in his eyes.
Those dark pools that she was so apt to drowning in then mentally slapping her-self and excusing quickly from his presence when it happened.
Usually none of this would bother her; she'd just take it in her stride but after last month…
Hermione, Ron, Harry, Lavender and Parvati had all become Aurous after leaving school. Hermione was extremely talented at it and had quickly risen in the ranks of the Ministry. She was now the leader in the fight against the dark side (under Dumbledour).
Draco Malfoy had joined the ranks of Voldermort but 6 months ago he had been talked round by Hermione and had saved her life he was now a double agent. Last month they'd all gone on a raid and Hermione had been hit by a curse. She had been unconscious for 2 weeks, steadily getting worse. Ron and Harry helped by Lavender and Parvati using some magic better left untouched had restored her.
She acted relieved and thankful but all she really wanted to do was go back to being unconscious. She was so tired the fight. She just wanted to lay down and sleep.
Giving up was occurring more and more often to her. But she knew the others relieved on he to keep going and be strong when no one else was so she was and did what was expected of her.
Ginny also depended on her. Since Molly Wesley had been killed and Arthur Wesley had been very badly injured she had grown very close to Hermione and Hermione felt it was her duty to keep going if for no one else than for Ginny. Though when Ginny got in trouble or needed to be disciplined she usually left it to someone else. More often than not that "honour" fell on Dumbledour.
'Well' Dumbledour started 'I thought I had should give you you're instructions for tonight. We have two raids and a graveyard sweep.'
'I'll do the graveyard sweep.' Hermione volunteered.
'I'll come with you.' Draco said standing and giving her the look that was making her so wary and nervous round him.
'No, no it's OK, I'll be fine by myself. Ron, Harry, Lavender, Parvati you do the raids and Draco… do whatever but try and stay out of trouble.' Hermione often paired Ron and Parvati and Lavender and Harry as they were both couples and fought well together.
'Your ladyship' muttered Draco.
'Are you sure you'll be OK by yourself?' Harry asked her with concern.
'I'll be fine. Really Harry. Don't worry.'
(Hermione walking through a graveyard looking rather bored and she begins sing)
Every single night the same arrangement
I go out and fight the fight
Still I always feel the strangest strangement
Nothing here is real nothing her is right.
(Sees DE who spots her at the same time-and they duel)
I've been making shows
Of training blows
Just hoping no one knows
But I've been going trough the motions
Walking through the part
(She dispatches the DE easily)
Nothing seems to penetrate my heart.
(She walks on)
I was always brave
And kind of righteous
Now I find I'm wavering.
(Sees three Death eaters torturing a handsome muggle man before they kill him. She engages them in duels.)
You crawl out of your grave
You find this fight
Just doesn't mean thing.
(She falls as a jinx hits her)
Death eater surprised-
She ain't got that swing
Hermione almost gratified-
Thanks for noticing.
(The three DE doing a very good impression of the Jets before they fight the Sharks in West Side Story)
She does pretty well
With things from hell
But lately we can tell
Death eater 1:
She's just going through the motions
(Dispatched by Hermione who has recovered)
Death eater 2:
Facing it somehow
(Taken out by Hermione as well)
Death eater 3:
She's not even half the girl she –ow
(Dispatched by Hermione)
Hermione:
Will I stay this way forever?
Sleep walk through my life's endeavour?
Muggle man:
How can I repay…?
Hermione:
Whatever.
I don't want to be…
Going through the motions
Loosing all my drive
I can't even see if this is really me,
And I just want to be
(Jumps on top of a flat grave marker)
Alive!
She pauses and looks around her. 'Well' she said out loud. 'That was ever so slightly weird'
* * * * * * * * * *
Next day/The Ministry of Magic HQ:
Hermione walked through the front doors of the Ministry and took the elevator to the 7th floor. As she stepped out and walked across the floor and in between the cubicles to Dumbledour's office (He had resigned as Headmaster of Hogwarts passing the honour over too McGonagall), calls of 'Hermione how are you?' and 'Good to see you again' mixed with several wolf whistles from some of the more hormonally controlled males of the department followed her. She entered the office.
Everyone save Draco was there lounging on chairs and sitting on the sofa in Dumbledour's expansive office.
'Hermione! Any trouble last night?' Ron greeted her.
'Nope. You guys?'
'Pretty normal' Harry said and Lavender and Parvati nodded.
'So you didn't notice anything… weird last night?' Hermione asked looking over Harry, Ron, Parvati, Lavender and Dumbledour.
'Weird how?'
'Oh I don't know. You didn't start singing or anything did you?'
A pause
'Great Merlin' Was Ron's comment
'We thought it was just us' Lavender said with a glance at Harry.
'That would explain the unseen backing orchestra and the dancing pizza delivery man.' Said Dumbldour as if too himself.
'It seemed perfectly normal though' Harry added.
'If not slightly disturbing and not the natural order of things.' Ron continued.
'What did you sing about?' Parvati asked Hermione.
'Oh… I don't remember. But believe me seeing three death eaters doing and impression of the Jets from West Side Story? Not a pretty sight. I'm going to have nightmares for years.'
'West Side… what?' Ron asked
'Story sweetie' Parvati told Ron
'Muggle musical don't worry about it' Hermione added.
'So research?' Asked Lavender sounding down heartened.
'Do we even have any books on this?' Harry questioned.
'Does any one have any idea where to start?' Hermione asked.
Dumbledour-
I've got a theory, that it's a creature
Some evil creature
No, something isn't right there
Lavender-
I've got a theory, someone's dreaming
And we're all caught in the same
Broadway nightmare
Harry-
I've got a theory we should work this out
Everyone save Hermione-
It's getting eerie, what's this cheery singing all about?
Ron-
It could be witches
Some evil witches
(Shrink under glares from all the girls present)
Which it ridiculous
Cause witches they were persecuted
Wiccan good and love the earth
And women power and I'll be over here.
Parvati-
I've got a theory
It could be Bunnies
(Pause as everyone stares at her)
Lavender-
I've got a
*Parvati cuts across* (a rock tune starting)
Bunnies aren't just cute
Like every one supposes
They've got those hoppy legs
And twitchy little noses
And what's with all the carrots?
What do they need
Such good eyesight for anyway?
Bunnies, bunnies, it must be bunnies
(Parvati pauses almost embarrassed)
Or maybe midgets
Lavender-
I've got a theory we should work this fast
Dumbledour-
Cause it really could get serious before it's past
Hermione-
I've got a theory
It doesn't matter
(Dumbledour looks at her surprised. She continues as if to explain)
What can't we face it we're together?
What's in this place that we can't weather?
Apocalypse we've all been there
The same old tricks why should we care?
Everyone-
What can't we do if we get in it?
We'll work it through within a minute.
We have to try, we'll pay the price
It's do or die.
Hermione-
Hey I've died twice
Everyone save Dumbledour- Dumbledour-
What can't we face
If we're together? What can't we face
What' in this place
That we can't weather? If we're together
There is nothing we can't face
Parvati-
Except for Bunnies
'Ok now you see that was disturbing' Ron said nervously.
'I though it was kind of fun' Lavender volunteered.
'But not the natural order of things' Ron countered.
'Do you think it's just us?' Asked Parvati. 'I mean that would mean some sort of spell'
Hermione opened the office door and stuck her head out observing the ballad being sung by Dumbledour's secretary about the sate of her in tray. The three girls on their coffee break who were dancing, and the Minister of Magic who had just stepped out of the elevator and broken into a country and western song about the stress he was under at work. She closed the door and turned back to everyone else. 'It's not just us'
