I waltzed (really....it was a waltz) into the Great Hall with Hermione, both of us giggling. Reaching the Slytherin table, I bowed, kissing her hand. She grinned.

Then, I jumped onto the table and began to sing.

"Sing us a song of the century
That's louder than bombs
And eternity
The era of static and contraband
That's leading us to the promised land
Tell us a story that's by candlelight
Waging a war and losing the fight

They're playing the song of the century
Of panic and promise and prosperity
Tell me a story into that goodnight
Sing us a song for me!"

Grinning, I shouted in the scariest, religious fanatic voice I could, "And we will see how God-less a nation we have become!"

Draco conjured a guitar, Blaise a bass guitar, and Pansy a drumkit. They began the song, and Slytherin whooped and cheered, along with quite a few students from the other Houses.

Strutting down the table, I took a leap, landing on the Gryffindor table. I leaned down into Ron's face.

"Raise your hands now to testify
Your confession will be crucified
You're a sacrificial suicide
Like a dog that's been sodomized!"

Slytherin stood, pumping their fists. "Stand up!"

I stood, swaggering down the table, pointing at Seamus. "All the white boys!"

"Sit down!"

I whirled and pointed at a small black first year. "All the black girls!"

"Stand up!"

"You're the soldiers-"

"Sit down!"

"-Of the new world!" Jumping over to the Hufflepuff table, I grinned, placing my hand on some random kid's face and pushing him backwards off his seat.

"Put your faith in a miracle
And it's non-denominational
Join the choir we will be singing
In the church of wishful thinking!" I cackled and joined the Slytherins with the chorus, stepping over onto the Ravenclaw table, Luna holding my hand to steady me and smiling congenially.

"A fire burns today
Of blasphemy and genocide
The sirens of decay
Will infiltrate the faith fanatics!"

Strutting over to the Head Table, I knelt on both my knees, looking up at Dumbledore imploringly, my hands raised to the Heavens.

"Oh bless me Lord for I have sinned
It's been a lifetime since I last confessed
I threw my crutches in 'the river of a shadow of doubt'
And I'll be dressed up in my Sunday best."

A grin curled my lips as he stared in shock, and I stood, whirling, grabbing a Hufflepuff second year by his collar and snarling.

"Say a prayer for the family
Drop a coin for humanity." I dropped the shivering boy, and spun with my arms wide, presenting myself.

"Ain't this uniform so flattering?" Then I grinned evilly, turning to Dumbledore and pointing an accusatory finger, shouting, "I never asked you for a goddamned thing!"

We belted out the chorus, and Hermione, Luna and a few Slytherin girls joined me for a choreographed dance around me, sighing and leaning all over me lustfully. Then they froze, listening to my whispered words.

"Don't test me
Second guess me
Protest me
You will disappear."

They cried out, clutching me and moaning. I gathered Luna into one arm, swinging the other like a crazed preacher.

"I want to know who's allowed to breed
All the dogs who never learned to read
Missionary politicians
And the cops of a new religion!"

Then, when it got quiet, they slumped to the floor, looking dead. I called out to the Great Hall, melancholy, striding to the giant double doors.

"A fire burns today
Of blasphemy and genocide
The sirens of decay
Will infiltrate the inside..."

"Yeah!" I screamed as Draco, Pansy, and Blaise brought the song to its end. There was a pause, and then the hall erupted in cheers and applause. I took a bow, grinning. Then I fetched my reviving girls, and we sat at the snake's table, eating a hearty breakfast.

Of course, Dumbledore wanted to see me straight away.

Entering his office, I skipped in, almost wanting to call Fawkes in and see how smart the old coot was. But, never underestimate the enemy...nasty things happen when that happens.

He sat behind his desk, looking at me sternly. "Mr. Potter, your behavior this morning was uncalled for."

"Really?" I conjured a sexy gothic chair (with shackles at the top for getting pesky wrists out of the way - which, might I add, made Dumbles choke), and sat in it leisurely. "I think a bit of uplifting entertainment is just what Hogwarts needs. And, I mean, if I can get my schoolwork done, deal with school drama, and be destined to take out a Dark Lord, then I think providing the school with one of my many other talents shouldn't be too much of a problem." I picked at a nail, obviously uncaring.

The old codger stared, and I'm pretty sure I heard him growl. "Harry, m'boy, you need a teacher's permission for such things."

I waved my hand. "I know. I'm not daft. Sev already okayed it." He gaped, flabberghasted. I grinned and stood, vanishing the chair. "Well, classes now. See you later." I gave him a mock salute, leaving and whistling the song we'd performed to myself, very happy.

so.....i've ALWAYS wanted to do stuff like this....so expect a lot more of this. and usually, it's actually a message. extra gold stars who got the message in this one!

and, the songs were, "Song Of The Century" and "East Jesus Nowhere" by Green Day. from now on, I'll post songs at the beginning, so you can look them up and sing along. LOL

and reviews = chapters. never forget that. :D
