"Harry Potter and the Prince of Olympus"
By Loki Palmer
Author's Note: Harry Potter and all related characters belong to J.K. Rowling. Angel Girl5, I'm sure Hermione would have exploded on Patrick if Michaela had not interrupted her. Then again, considering that she's the rational one, she would be the water to Patrick's fiery temper. Not that she can't be fiery – take, of course, that famous scene from canon Harry Potter where she breaks Malfoy's nose! Yeah, that was awesome! [singing "Ride of the Valkyries"] Kill the ferret, kill the ferret, kill the ferret!
Let's get back to the wedding celebration, and I believe there's going to be some music involved … let's listen in:
Chapter 10
Seamus Finnegan sat down at the piano. "Harry, do you want to be the one singing this?"
"Seamus, you're the one who can play the piano."
"Aye, but you're his adopted brother. Come on, mate, sing it, you've got a wonderful voice."
"Okay, I'll sing it, but only if the House of Gryffindor can join in the chorus."
A loud "AYE!" filled the room, not just from the Gryffindors, but the Hufflepuffs, Ravenclaws, AND the Slytherins, much to Patrick's shock.
"So … Seamus, Harry, what is this song I'm hearing about?"
"We … that is, the members of Gryffindor, wrote it up while you and the Olympians were out there, taking down Fudge, Umbridge, and the Dementors," Harry said. "We hope you'll like it."
"Allright, go ahead."
Seamus started to play a very familiar tune: Billy Joel's "Piano Man," as Harry started to sing:
Our Prince, Pat Palmer, was powerful,
Vernon Dursley didn't care very well;
He hated the ground that he trod on,
He made Pat's life a living Hell!
And then, one day, we met this brilliant witch,
Hermione Jean was her name,
She kissed him and the rest now is history,
They drove Vernon Dursley insane!
Oh, lai, lai, lai, li-li lai … lai, lai, li-li lai, lai lai …
Sing with me, Gryffindors!"
The Gryffindors sang:
"Go conquering forth, O Olympian Prince!
Go conquering forth tonight!
For Hermione is trapped by a troll now,
And there's still Dementors to fight!"
Seamus took up the next verse:
"Lacey McCarty's a pretty witch,
She not be Irish, it be true!
Instead, she be Greek, and I shall try to seek
Out Harry's thoughts about you! Harry?"
Harry continued:
"Lace, I hope that your dad doesn't kill me,
As I say this in the first place:
But I think your mom's hot, and I think that you've got
A lot of herself in your face!"
Both Lacey and Aphrodite blushed as the other Olympians and the Hogwarts people laughed.
"O, lai, lai, lai, li-li lai … lai, lai, li-li lai, lai lai ..."
Seamus went on to the third verse:
"Now, Iris, she be Patrick's little sis,
Named for the rainbow goddess of Greece;
I thought she could be mine, but then, what do I find?
She brought Longbottom down in one piece!"
Iris smiled, and sang:
"Well, Seamus is our happy leprechaun,
And Dean Thomas, our token black guy,
Neville Longbottom's shy, but one day, he will fly,
He is brave for such a small fry!"
During the piano solo, Patrick grabbed Hermione and they waltzed around the room. It made sense, given the piece was in 3/4 time. The chorus came up again, but it was different:
"Go conquering forth, O Olympian Prince!
Go conquering forth tonight ..."
Knowing how this would embarrass Patrick and Hermione, Iris interrupted:
"For Hermione, she now wants some giggity,
And since when did Pat's arse get so tight?"
Now everyone was laughing at Patrick and Hermione, who were sporting furious blushes, but even they could not continue glaring at Iris and joined in the laughter. Even Seamus had to stop playing to laugh.
"It's a wonderful crowd at Olympus,
You have all been so very kind
To listen to me and my melody
For all this wonderful time!
And the piano is loud like a thunderstorm,
And it smells like warm butterbeer,
It's my pleasure to play for Your Highnesses,
And fill you both up with such cheer!
O, lai, lai, lai, li-li lai … lai, lai, li-li lai, lai lai …
Everybody sing!"
Everyone sang along:
"Go conquering forth, O Olympian Prince!
Go conquering forth tonight!
For Hermione is trapped by a troll now,
And there's still Dementors to fight!
Go conquering forth, O Olympian Prince!
Go conquering forth tonight!
For Hermione is safe from the troll now,
And we know that you'll do allright!"
Everyone applauded the song, as Patrick and Hermione spread hugs and claps on the back through the House of Gryffindor.
Author's Note: Well, I hope you enjoyed the parody. I enjoyed writing it (especially Iris's little interruption of the chorus LOL.) Until next time, this is Loki Palmer. See you around for the next chapter. :)
