Chapter One: Bohemian Rhapsody
A/N: What's this? An update? So soon after it's been posted? Well I just can't stop my typing fingers!
I was sat at the table in the middle of dinner, pushing my food about. No one really noticed I wasn't eating. What can I say, I was feeling low? It was Mum's birthday and I wasn't able to be there for her party. And Mum's birthday parties were the best.
"...put a gun against his head..."
My head shot up. I saw someone along the table singing under their breath. I grinned. This was Mum's favourite song. It was no one's favourite song, but if you put it on I could guarantee everyone would sing along. It was one of those songs, you know? Anyway, I let the person finish the verse before singing the next one.
"Mama, ooh. Didn't mean to make you cry but if I'm not back again this time tomorrow, carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters."
The guy looked over at me, and he smiled slowly. Then there was someone singing behind me.
"Too late. My time has come. Sent shivers down my spine, body's achin' all the time. Goodbye everybody. I've got to go, gotta leave you all behind and face the truth."
A voice over the top of the others starting singing from the Slytherin table. "Mama, ooooohhhh. I don't wanna die, sometimes I wish I'd never been born at all."
I started singing again. "I see a sillhouetto of a man-"
"Scaramouche, scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?-"
"Thunderbolts and lightening,-"
"very frightening me!"
"Galileo-"
"Galileo-"
"Galileo-"
"Galileo figaro-"
"Magnifico-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-"
"I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me-"
"He's just a poor boy from a poor family-"
"Spare him his life from this monstrosity!"
And then the entire Muggleborn population of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry started to sing the epic hit that was Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.
"Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?-"
"Bismillah! No we will not let you go!"
"Let him go!"
"Bismillah! We will not let you go!"
"Let him go!"
"Bismillah! We will not let you go!"
"Let me go!"
"Will not let you go!"
"Let me go!"
"Never, never let you go!"
"Never let me go, oh!"
"No!"
"No!"
"No!"
"No!"
"No!"
"No!"
"No!"
"Oh mamma mia, mamma mia!"
"Mamma mia let me go!"
"Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me-"
"For me-!"
"For me-e-e-e-e-e-!"
Here, we all started to headbang. Most were doing air guitar, and jumping up and down. Then we were singing again.
"So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye-e?-"
"So you think you can love me and leave me to die-e?-"
"Oh, baby-"
"Can't do this to me baby-"
"Just gotta get out,-"
"Just gotta get right out of here!"
"Oh yeah-!"
"Oh yeah-!"
We calmed down, and sat back down, still singing.
"Nothing really matters. Anyone can see,-"
"Nothing really matters-"
"Nothing really matters, to me."
And finally, the person who started it all sang the last line.
"Any way the wind blows."
The Great Hall exploded into clapping and cheering. After McGonagall settled them down, she thanked us all for a wonderful performance but begged us to join the choir instead of spontaneously bursting into song in the middle of dinner.
I went to be a happy student, and I sung a few bars softly to myself in honour of my mother.
A/N: Well. That's awesome. I spent like half an hour typing the lyrics up because my word doesn't let me C+P from the internet. So yeah. How'd I do?
