"Harry Potter and the Prince of Olympus"
By Loki Palmer
Author's Note: Harry Potter and all related characters belong to J.K. Rowling. After some chiding from my Muse, I decided to spend a little time in the Author's proverbial doghouse – at least, that's what it felt like. ("Bad Loki!")
Now, I do like the original parody I wrote (even with Iris's disturbing admission), so I'm keeping it. For the record, Iris was just stating an obvious fact – she is NOT attracted to Patrick (that would be gross!) "At the closing ceremony [of the 2002 Winter Olympics], they introduced Donny and Marie [Osmond] as the First Couple of Utah. I went 'Uh-uh, honey, no! They're only a couple in Arkansas!' " - Robin Williams
On the other hand, there was another parody I could have put up, and I have decided to add it in. For the record, Disney owns the tune for this, and I do not. Just so it's clear, mmmmmkay?
Chapter 11
"Pat? Hermione? Lacey and I wrote another song for you."
"Another one?" Patrick and Hermione were surprised by this. "Okay, let's hear it."
"Okay, well, fellas, ladies, can we get some support? We've got the lyrics for you. Seamus, you may begin when you're ready."
Seamus started a second tune: "Beauty and the Beast," as Patrick bowed to Hermione and led her in a slow dance. The males started to sing, alternating each line with the females:
"Deep Magic before Time,
Please, Disney, don't sue!"
Together, they sang:
"We'll knock you down so fast,
And kick that Mouse's ass,
Until he's black and blue!"
Males alternating lines with females sang:
"They've been joined at the hip,
And other parts, in fact!
Lovebirds all this time …
Both partners in crime …"
Together again:
"Hermione and Pat!
They've been so in love,
Since before first year!
Since he killed that troll,
They've been on a roll,
They have been so dear!"
Males alternating lines with females:
"Hermione's got some brains,
Pat, too, he's so hot!"
Patrick blushed. Hermione blushed too as she heard both groups sing:
"We could hear them every night,
Merlin, what a sight,
You two crazy dogs!"
Following the pattern shown before, they sang:
"They've been joined at the hip,
And other parts, in fact!
Lovebirds all this time …
Both partners in crime …
Hermione and Pat!"
The tempo slowed down, as Harry made a gesture of "shhhhhh" and sang alone, Lacey alternating, both of their voices cracking due to the beauty before them:
"Lovebirds … all this time …
Both … partners in crime …"
Together, Lacey and Harry sung, tears in their eyes:
"Hermione … and … Pat!"
Chocolate brown eyes gazed into oceanic blue, and both had tears. They were so wrapped up in each other that they were oblivious to everything else for a few moments. The world could have blown up, and they would not have cared. All these two knew was the bliss of being in a beloved's arms. No one dared to interrupt the beauty of this moment, and no one wanted to interrupt it. This moment was for the two of them.
