Chapter 13
Colin tripped on his way up to the microphone causing a number of people to burst out laughing. He jumped back up quickly and said I'm ok while Dennis gave him a thumbs up. As soon as he got to the mic the music started plying again as it had so many times.
Took her out,
It was a Friday night
I wore cologne
to Get the feeling right
We started making out,
And she took off my pants
But then I turned on the TV
"So who's this song by?" Ron asked looking around.
"Blink 182," Ginny and Harry said at the same time. Ginny started watching Colin perform lip synching the words with the song.
And that's about the time
She walked away from me
Nobody likes you
When you're twenty-three
And I'm still more amused
By TV shows
What the hell is ADD?
My friends say
I should act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?
"You know who Blink 182 is?" Harry asked Ginny .
"Well yeah, they're one of my favorite muggle bands," she answered.
Then later on,
On the drive home
I called her mom
From a pay phone
I said I was the cops,
And your husband's in jail
The state looks down on sodomy
"How do you know about them anyway," Ron asked Ginny.
"D'you remeber that muggle radio dad tried to bewitch?" Ginny said
And thats about the time that
Bitch hung up on me
Nobody likes you
When you're twenty-three
And I'm still more amused
By prank phone calls
What the hell is call ID?
My friends say
I should act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?
"Yeah I remember it, Mum told him to get rid of it."
"Well the night dad tossed it out, I waited till mum was busy with something then I snuck back in and up to my room. I've been using it to listen to muggle music ever since."
"You're lucky mum hasn't found it yet."
And thats about the time
She walked away from me
Nobody likes you
When you're twenty-three
And you still act like
You're in freshman year
What the hell is wrong with me?
My friends say
I should act my age
What's my age again?
(What's my age again?)
"Actually she did, then she confiscated it and threw it out. But lucky for me Hermione decided to get me another one as a Christmas gift," Ginny added smiling.
"And all you got for me and Harry were those homework planners," Ron said looking over at her.
"Well, I can still get you something better for your birthday Ron," Hermione replied.
Thats about the time
That she broke up with me
No one should take
Themselves so seriously
With many years ahead
To fall in line
Why would you
Wish down on me
I never want to
Act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?
What's my age again?
The music faded away once more and Colin walked over to the bowl while recieving a polite applause. Before Colin could pick out the next name Dumbledore stood up to make an announcement.
"Well I think we'll make this the last song of the night," he said looking over the students, "Thank you for making our first kareoke night such a succesful one, and for being respectful to your fellow students while they were singing.I don't see why we shouldn't try this again sometime in the future," he added with a slight twinkle in his eye," go on Colin and pick out the last name."
Colin drew out the fianl name and read it aloud, "Lavender Brown!"
She walked up to the the microphone looking a litle nervous. Parvati gave her an encouraging smile as she walked up.
"Wonder what song it'll give her," Harry said.
"Who knows, maybe something about fortune-telling," Hermione replied not looking too interested.
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
And I can't believe I've had this chance now
Don't let it go away
"D'you know who this song is by too Gin?" Ron asked.
New, you're so new
You, you're new
And I never had this taste in my past
New, you're so new
"Actually I do," Ginny answered, "Same band that did my song actually."
My normal hesitation is gone
And I really gravitate to your will
Are you here to fetch me out?
Cause I've never had this taste in my mouth
"Oh, I remeber that one," Hermione said, "It was by No Doubt wasn't it?"
Oh you're not old
And you're not familiar
Recently discovered and I'm learning about you
Ginny just nodded.
"Yeah their music is pretty good from the bits I've heard," Harry said.
New, you're so new And you're consuming me violently
You, you're new
And your revernece shamelessly tempting me
Who sent this maniac
Cause I've never had this taste in the past
"Really?" Ron said.
"Yeah, I only ever hear the beginning though," Harry added.
Oh you're different, you're different from the former
Like a fresh battery, I'm energized by you
"Dudley usually changes the channel or station to some gangsta rap song whenever they come on."
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
And I can't believe I've had this chance now
Don't let it go away
"Who knew Dudley'd be the type to listen to rap," Ron said toughtfully.
"Yeah, Aunt Petunia hates it though," Harry said laughing a bit.
Why am I curious?
This territoy is dangerous
I'll probably end up at the start
I'll be back in line with my broken heart
New, you're so new
You, you're new
And I never had this taste in the past
"So Dudley just says it helps get him in the right mind set to work out," he added rolling his eyes.
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Don't let it go away
This feeling has go to stay
And I can't believe I've had this chance now
Don't let it go away
"Psh yeah right," Ron said snorting, "I can just imagine that whale trying to do excersise."
And I can't believe it
Can't believe it
Can't believe it
Can't believe it
Don't let it go away, this feeling has got to stay
Don't let it go away
The song faded away into silence as everyone gave their last round of applause. Then Dumbledore stood up again,"Thank you again for making Hogwart's first kareoke night possible. I hope you have all enjoyed tonights festivities, now time for everyone to head up to their dormitories."
Everyone stood up and walked out chattering about each others performances.
"Hermione you really did do a great job on your song," Ron said, "I never knew you could sing like that."
"Thanks Ron," Hermione said smiling, "you didn't do all that bad either."
"So who was your song about anyway? Harry seemed to know but he wouldn't tell me," Ron said as they walked up to the fat lady's portrait.
"Personet Hodie," Hermione said. They walked into the common room where several others were already sitting by the fire. "Well Ron I thought it was kind of obvious."
"Not to me" he answered, "Go on tell me." Hermione got on tip toe and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Take a wild guess," she said. Ron touched the spot as Hermione walked up to her dormitory as if finally realizing something. Harry walked up and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Come on lets go on up I'm tired," Harry said.
"So that song was about-," Ron said as they walked up to their dormitory.
"Yeah it was Ron."
"So does this mean she-"
"Yeah it does mate. Well good night."
