241. I will not sing 'Defying Gravity' during Quidditch practice.
OR
Why We Need A Quidditch Anthem, According To Fred & George Weasley
'I think I'll try defying gravity,
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity…'
'Fred! George! What in Merlin's name are the two of you doing?' Angelina Johnson screamed across the Quidditch Pitch.
The twins grinned at her unrepentantly. 'Well, since Slytherin seems to have decided that "Weasley Is Our King" is their unofficial Quidditch anthem, we decided that the Gryffindor team needed one too,' Fred – or was it George – claimed with a cheeky grin, ignoring Ron, who spluttered out an inaudible protest, face bright red.
'Yeah,' George – or was it Fred – chimed in in support of his twin, 'but instead of mocking the Slytherins, we decided that it was best to have a song that proclaimed our greatness as a team.'
'Don't forget, it's also supposed to be about how the Slytherins can never beat us.'
'That's what I just said! It's about our greatness – how we never lose, and thus are never brought down, metaphorically of course.'
'Anyways, we heard Will Hornby from our dorm singing this, so we asked him which song it was. He provided us with all the lyrics, and we thought it would be perfect! What do you think?'
Looking at the gleeful faces of the two boys in front of her, Angelina turned to Harry, who was hovering at her side. Having been raise in the Muggle world, and having Hermione as his best friend, he knew the background to this song very well, and was thus struggling to hold in his laughter. 'I don't have the heart to tell them what the song is truly about,' Angelina murmured. 'But for now –'
'FRED! GERORGE! The next time you two sing that song during practice, I'll make sure Professor McGonagall assigns you'll a month of detention. If you want to train the House to sing it during matches, that's your business, but don't. Mess. With. My. Practices!'
