Three Broomsticks

Hey everybody! The next chapter of United We Stand is here. Last time I counted, this story has had over 10000 hits! It's just amazing! Let's keep it up! Enjoy this new chapter! I own nothing in this story!

Everyone is chatting as they wait for the show, butterbear in their hands. This is going to be brilliant! And I mean brilliant!

'Ready guys?' asks Viktor. 'Let's knock 'em dead!' grins Cedric. 'Now boys!' I whisper to Fred and George who are standing in front of the mini-stage.

'Ladies and gentlemen!' they yell and everyone goes quiet. Cedric, Fleur and Viktor softly start to play a beat.

'May we present to you-'

'The fantastic outcome of the Triwizard Tournament-'

'The greatest wizard band in the history of wizard bands-'

'Here they are-'

'United We Stand!' they finish and everyone explodes into cheers. The lights turn on and we start the fun.

A Little Party Never Killed Nobody by Fergie and Q Tip

(Harry)

I ain't got time for you baby
Either you're mine, or you're not
Make up your mind sweet baby
Right here, right now's all we got
(Cedric)

A little party never killed nobody
So we gon' dance until we drop, drop
A little party never killed nobody
Right here, right now's all we got
(Harry)
All these diamonds, trips around the world
Don't mean a thing if I ain't your girl
A little party never killed nobody
So we gon' dance until we drop, drop
A little party never killed nobody
(Cedric)

Right here, right now's all we got
A little party never killed nobody
So we gon' dance until we drop, drop
A little party never killed nobody
Right here, right now's all we got

(Both)

All we got, all we got, all we got, all we got
All we got, all we got, all we got, all we got
(Harry)

Glad that you made it, look around
You don't see one person sitting down
They got drinks in their hands,
And the room's a bust
(Cedric)

At the end of the night maybe you'll find love
Fake chit chat 'bout the things they got
And my scout reputation keeping it hot girl
At the party of the year and my master plan
Is to make you realize I'm your man
(Both)
Can the people get loud, underneath the moonlight
Hotsy-totsy, paparazzi, hold it while I take this pic
Speak easy, rocking the feathers I'm breezy
Hope you can keep up boys, cause believe me, I'm the bee's knees

It don't mean a thing if I give you my heart,
If you tear it apart, no, uh, uh, ah, oh
It don't mean a thing if I ain't in your eyes,
Probably ain't gonna fly, no, uh, uh, ah, oh
It don't mean a thing if I give you my heart,
If you tear it apart, no, uh, uh, ah, oh
It don't mean a thing if I ain't in your eyes
Probably ain't gonna fly, no, uh, uh, ah, oh

Just one night's all we got
Just one night' all we got
Just one night's all we got
Just one night's all we got
(Harry)
What do you think guys?

(Cedric)
Are you ready?
(Both)
A little party never killed nobody
So we gon' dance until we drop, drop
A little party never killed nobody
Right here, right now's all we got

A little party never killed nobody
So we gon' dance until we drop, drop
A little party never killed nobody

Screaming and cheering erupts in the pub, people on their feet. 'Go Harry!' yell Ron and Hermione, sitting at the front, banging their mugs on the table. I grin at them, then reach for the microphone.

'This next song is for a special friend who helped me out when I really needed it. Neville, this is for you!' I say, grinning at Neville, who's sitting with Seamus and Dean nearby.

Demons by Imagine Dragons

(Harry)

When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold

When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood's run stale

I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There's nowhere we can hide

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide

Curtain's call
Is the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl

So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you've made

Don't wanna let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don't wanna hide the truth

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide

They say it's what you make
I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go

Your eyes, they shine so bright
I wanna save that light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide

Neville is one of the many who stand up to applaud me when I finish. 'Hope you enjoyed that Neville! And now I am going to hand youn over to the Beauxbatons Beauty, Fleur Delacour!' I say. The Beauxbatons cheer as Fleur takes the microphone.

Young and Beautiful by Lana Del Rey

(Fleur)

I've seen the world, done it all, had my cake now
Diamonds, brilliant, and Bel-Air now
Hot summer nights, mid-July
When you and I were forever wild
The crazy days, the city lights
The way you'd play with me like a child

Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?

I've seen the world, lit it up as my stage now
Channelin' angels in the new age now
Hot summer days, rock and roll
The way you'd play for me at your show
And all the ways I got to know
Your pretty face and electric soul

Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?

Dear Lord, when I get to Heaven
Please let me bring my man
When he comes, tell me that you'll let him in
Father, tell me if you can

Oh, that grace, oh, that body
Oh, that face makes me wanna party
He's my sun, he makes me shine like diamonds

Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?
Will you still love me when I'm not young and beautiful?

As Fleur finishes singing, roses are thrown towards her by many of the boys. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Ron throw one up as well. I am never going to let him forget that. 'Your turn Cedric.' I say tossing him the mike. Fred and George dim the lights a little.

Love Song for a Vampire by Annie Lennox

(Cedric)

Come into these arms again
And lay your body down
The rhythm of this trembling heart
Is beating like a drum

It beats for you - It bleeds for you
It knows not how it sounds
For it is the drum of drums
It is the song of songs...

Once I had the rarest rose
That ever deigned to bloom.
Cruel winter chilled the bud
And stole my flower too soon.

Oh loneliness - oh hopelessness
To search the ends of time
For there is in all the world
No greater love than mine.

Love, oh love, oh love...
Still falls the rain...
Love, oh love, oh, love...
Still falls the night...
Love, oh love, oh love...
Be mine forever...
Love, oh love, oh love...

Let me be the only one
To keep you from the cold
Now the floor of heaven's lain
With stars of brightest gold

They shine for you - they shine for you
They burn for all to see
Come into these arms again
And set this spirit free

'Now that was spooky!' I say as everybody- especially the Hufflepuffs- cheer. Cedric grins at me. 'I was raised by vampires, what can I say?' he jokes. I just laugh.

A little while later...

'It's time for the last song folks!' I say but I'm cut off by a chorus of groans. 'Now, now, don't be like that! You have not seen the last of United We Stand!' adds Cedric and everyone cheers. 'Alright, Fleur, let's do the last song.' I say.

Everything Has Changed by Taylor Swift feat. Ed Sheeran

(Fleur)
All I knew this morning when I woke
Is I know something now, know something now I didn't before.
And all I've seen since eighteen hours ago
Is green eyes and freckles in your smile
In the back of my mind making me feel right

I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now

(Both)
I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just wanna know you, know you, know you

(Both)
'Cause all I know is we said, "Hello."
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name
Everything has changed
All I know is you held the door
You'll be mine and I'll be yours
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

(Harry)
And all my walls stood tall painted blue
And I'll take them down, take them down and open up the door for you

And all I feel in my stomach is butterflies
The beautiful kind, making up for lost time,
Taking flight, making me feel right

[Both]
I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just wanna know you, know you, know you

(Both)
'Cause all I know is we said, "Hello."
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name
Everything has changed
All I know is you held the door
And you'll be mine and I'll be yours
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

Come back and tell me why
I'm feeling like I've missed you all this time, oh, oh, oh.
And meet me there tonight
And let me know that it's not all in my mind.

(Fleur)
I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just wanna know you, know you, know you

(Both)
All I know is we said, "Hello."
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name
Everything has changed
All I know is you held the door
You'll be mine and I'll be yours
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed
All I know is we said, "Hello."
So dust off your highest hopes
All I know is pouring rain and everything has changed
All I know is a new found grace
All my days I'll know your face
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

We can still hear the cheers and screams as we slip off the stage. Backstage, we all cheer. 'That was brilliant!' says Viktor. 'Yeah, we have to do this again soon.' I say. 'Maybe sometime over the Easter holidays?' suggests Cedric. 'Definitely.' says Fleur.

Hogwarts castle grounds...

I leave the others at the Durmstrang ship- I promised Hagrid that I'd pay him a visit after the show.

As I walk past the trees of the Forbidden Forest, I hear a crackling sound. I freeze. Pulling out my wand, I peer through the trees. 'Who's there?' I call.

There's a pause and then a figure steps out. I let out a gasp- and then a shout.

'Sirius!'

Suddenly, I'm hanging on tight to my godfather, hugging him happily. 'Hello Prongslet.' he says.

'What are you doing here?' I ask. 'In your last letter, you said that you were part of a band. Hermione sent me a letter telling me you were performing at the Three Broomsticks tonight. So I slipped in as a black dog and watched you.' he explains.

Sirius leads me to a hidden area near the Black Lake and we sit down. 'What did you think Sirius?' I ask. 'Harry, did you know that your father used to sing as well?' he asks. I blink and shake my head. 'He did. Everyday, he would sing a different song, wherever he was. He used to sing to you as well. And Lily did too.' he says.

'I remember Mum singing to me. She always sang a special lullaby every night to help me go to sleep.' I say softly. 'Yes, Lily had a lovely voice. But you, Harry, you sound so much like James. You're so like him in so many ways.' says Sirius, looking into my eyes. 'You sounded wonderful tonight Harry. I could see you were truly alive on the stage, singing with your friends.' he says. 'Really?' I ask. 'Yes you were. Truly amazing.'

Sirius puts his hands on my shoulders. 'But remember Harry. This is not all just fun and games. Somebody put your name in the Goblet of Fire on purpose. You may have got through the first two tasks, but you still have one more to get through. I want you to keep your head- not just with Ron and Hermione, but with the other champions as well. Send me as many updates as you can Harry. Do you promise?' I nod my head. 'I promise Sirius.' I say firmly.

The two of us share a long hug and then he says 'I have to go now Harry.' 'Already?' I ask sadly. 'Don't worry Prongslet. You'll see me again soon. I promise.' he assures me. 'Bye Padfoot.' I say, then watch as Sirius disappears behind a tree and emerges as a black dog. He nuzzles my hand, before he heads off.

I slip through my trees and make my way to Hagrid's hut. It was great to see Sirius again, but I'm a bit upset that he couldn't have stayed longer. At least I will see him again. He made a promise and my godfather never breaks a promise.

Suddenly, I feel a sharp pain in my scar. I grip it, moaning a little. Whenever my scar hurts, I get a feeling that Voldemort is nearby. Could he be here now?

On the ground, I see a bowler hat lying abandoned in the dead grass. Hold on that hat looks familiar...

Cautiously, I move around the tree...and see a body sprawled on the ground.

'Mr. Crouch?'

To Be Continued. Next chapter, the champions, Ron and Hermione discuss the discovery and Harry enters the Pensieve. Until next time- R&R!
