Me: Ok the songs you should listen to during the second part of this chapter, which begins under the line break, is THIS IS WAR by 30 seconds to Mars and WELCOME TO THE BLACK PARADE by My Chemical Romance. I love both of these songs and I could hear Harry singing these. I would love it if when you guys/girls reviewed tell me what you think of the songs and give me some other songs so I can put in here. XD
Chapter 13: Sneaky Little Gryffindor
Albus Dumbledore looked up from the paperwork on his desk when he heard someone coming through the floo. Confused and curious, he got up and walked over to the floo, his wand in his hand just in case. To say he was surprised to see the Parkinsons, Zambinis, and the Malfoys coming out his floo one after another was an under statement, but he hid his surprise as he walked calmly back to his desk and waved his wand, six chairs appearing in front of his desk.
"Sit, sit. Now what can I do for you all today?" he asked, his fingers clasped together in front of him.
Mrs. Parkinson was the first to speak up, "we just received a letter about our children." Abigail Parkinson, even though she didn't show it, was very worried about her daughter. Never had in the seven years that Pansy was in Hogwarts did her parents get a letter from Hogwarts asking them to come to Hogwarts as soon as possible.
"Really?" Dumbledore raised an eyebrow and looked at the other two sets of parents, "is this true for you as well?"
The Zambinis nodded while Narcissa Malfoy shook her head, "No, we didn't get a letter about Draco but we were with the Parkinsons and Zambinis when the letters came in. Plus Pansy and Blaise are our god children, we want to make sure they are safe as well."
The headmaster nodded before getting up and going over to his floo. He threw some powder and connected to his potion master's fireplace,
"Severus I need you to come to my office." He told him once Severus walked over to answer the floo.
Severus Snape sighed and walked through the flames into the headmaster's office, somewhat shocked at seeing the parents of his three best slytherins in the office.
"Severus these parents said they received a letter about their children and you can guess that they are quite worried. Did you send them a letter?" Albus asked.
Snape was at lost for words for a second, "a letter? I'm sorry headmaster but I did not send a letter out to anyone."
"If you didn't and I didn't then who could have possibly sent the letter."
Dumbledore was quiet for a minute as he thought before he turned back to the parents, "do you happen to have the letter with you?"
Ms. Zambini, a beautiful young widow, nodded. She handed over the letter regarding her son to the headmaster, who read it over with Snape.
"This is Hogwarts stationary but this I don't recognize the handwriting. Do you Severus?" he asked the younger man.
"It seems familiar." He mused before looking up at the parents, "tell me what color was the owl that delivered this?"
"It was a beautiful white owl." Narcissa answered.
Albus and Severus looked at each other, the same thought coming to their minds, "Potter."
"I don't understand. Why would Potter send us these letters?" William Parkinson asked.
"I don't know. We should ask Potter." Severus suggested.
"I don't think he meant any harm Severus. If he sent the letters he must have had a reason, we should go upstairs and ask him."
"Why can't we just call him down?" Lucius Malfoy inquired.
"Gryffindor dorm is having a party in celebration of….oh dear I finally
Understand why Harry sent out the letters." Dumbledore said, smiling.
"Well please do enlighten us Albus." Severus drawled.
"He didn't send the letters out because anything was wrong. He was just simply inviting these parents to the party because they are celebrating young Ms. Parkinson and Mr. Zambini finding their mates." He said like it was the simplest thing in the world.
"THEY FOUND THEIR MATES!" Both sets of parents yelled, the Malfoys still somewhat confused about why there was a party in the Gryffindor dorm if Pansy and Blaise found their mates.
"Ah yes. I do believe your daughter is the mate of Ms. Granger and your son is the mate of Mr. Weasly." Dumbledore continued to smile at the shocked looks on the older Slytherins, "Now since Mr. Potter went to the trouble to inviting you all why don't we go up and join the party?"
Without waiting for the Slytherins to answer, Albus left his office, walking faster than anyone thought possible for the 150 year wizard. As they walked passed the main hall they bumped into four red heads.
"Mr. Weasly what are you all doing here?" Dumbledore asked looking at the four Weasly brothers.
All at once they answered, "Harry."
That was enough for the headmaster who chuckled at Harry's plan and gestured for the new arrivals to follow them. When they all reached the tower, some panting while others who were used to the long trek up to the tower just smiled at the fat lady.
"Down with Voldemort." Fred and George said at the same time, the password to the dorm had been in the letter.
The adults all looked a bit shocked at the Gryffindor password. The fat lady just grinned and allowed them into the common room, telling them to enjoy the party.
"Wow! They sure went all out." Bill whistled, looking at the expanded room that looked ten times bigger then it usually did. The room was filled with teenagers dancing and drinking, obliviously having a grand old time.
"Look." Charlie pointed to across the room to where Ron was sitting close to Blaise, smiling at something that was said. Hermione and Pansy sitting close by.
"Where is the mastermind behind all of this?" Severus muttered, wondering when Potter had time to send out letters to the slytherins' families or to set up this whole party so quickly.
"There he is. He's dancing with… Draco?" Narcissa said, having thought that her son disliked the boy. Although that didn't seem the case as both boys were dancing very close to one another.
"Well don't they look cute together?" George said, smiling before heading over to where his youngest brother was sitting.
"George? Fred? Bill? Charlie? What are you all doing here?" Ron asked, very confused.
"Mother? Father?" Pansy said, looking at her parents in confusion. Blaise looking at his mother the same way.
"We received a letter about a party to celebrate you finding your mate." Bill said, handing his brother the letter. The four teenagers all crowded around Ron to read the letter.
'Dear Weasly brothers,
Something very important has happened to Ron and i think that it is only right that you be here to celebrate with the rest of us. Please come to the school as soon as possible.
-Harry
P.S: the password to the dorm is 'down with Voldemort'
Ron groaned, "Honestly! That boy is too damn sneaky for his own good!" They all nodded in agreement.
Ms. Parkinson opened her mouth to ask her daughter something when she was suddenly cut off by the sound of the music stopping and Luna Lovegood dragging Hermione and Ron over to a slightly raised platform in front of the fireplace, where Harry was standing behind a mike.
"What the bloody hell?" Muttered one of the twins, watching as their little brother sat behind a drum set and walked to Harry.
"Well this should be interesting." Dumbledore said, watching the four teens smile at each other before Harry grabbed the mike.
"Indeed." Severus muttered.
Harry smirked at the people staring up at him, licking his lips before nodding to his friends to start playing.
A warning to the people,
The good and the evil,
This is war.
To the soldier, the civilian,
The martyr, the victim,
This is war.
The song started to get faster, everyone bobbing their heads to the beat.
It's the moment of truth, and the moment to lie,
The moment to live and the moment to die,
The moment to fight, the moment to fight
To fight, to fight, to fight!
To the right, To the left
We will fight to the death!
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
From the last to the first
Everyone was dancing along to Harry's hypnotic voice. Even Draco felt himself being pulled in by Harry, his eyes focusing on Harry's plump lips before moving up to see Harry staring at him.
To the right, To the left
We will fight to the death!
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world!
A warning to the prophet,
The liar, the honest,
This is war.
To the leader, the pariah,
The victor, the messiah,
This is war.
By now Harry was jumping around the stage, letting the music take him. Draco realized that this song was probably the most perfect song Harry could have sung. Right now they were in war and just listening to the moving lyrics was enough to give Draco hope that they will win.
It's the moment of truth, and the moment to lie,
The moment to live and the moment to die,
The moment to fight, the moment to fight,
To fight, to fight, to fight!
To the right, To the left
We will fight to the death!
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
From the last to the first
To the right, To the left
We will fight to the death!
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world!
Here the song started to slow down again, Harry's voice coming out slowly and smooth.
I do believe in the light
Raise your hands into the sky
The fight is done, the war is won
Lift your hands toward the sun
Toward the sun
Toward the sun
Toward the sun
The war is won
To the right, To the left
We will fight to the death!
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
From the last to the first
To the right, To the left
We will fight to the death!
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world!
A brave new world
The war is won
The war is won
A brave new world
Once the music stopped, everyone started clapping. Harry bowed and laughed as he turned back to hear something Ron was telling him. Nodding, Harry took the mike again, waiting for the noise to stop.
"ok did you guys like that?" there were loud screams and yells of 'YES', "well that's good because Ron thinks we should do another couple songs just because you guys are awesome. Do you agree?" Harry had to cover his ears at the loud noises of agreement from the crowd, "well alrighty then. Here we go."
Luna took off the bass from over her shoulder and moved behind a little electric keyboard. She started off first, a soft and slow beat, Harry following behind her.
When I was a young boy
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band
He said, "Son, when you grow up
Would you be the savior of the broken
The beaten and the damned?
He said, "Will you defeat them
Your demons and all the non-believers
The plans that they have made?
Because one day, I'll leave you
A phantom to lead you in the summer
To join the Black Parade"
When I was a young boy

Would you be the savior of the broken
The beaten and the damned?
Harry's voice had gotten louder by now as Ron and Hermione joined in, Luna having picked back up her bass.
He said, "Will you defeat them
Your demons and all the non-believers
The plans that they have made?
Because one day, I'll leave you
A phantom to lead you in the summer
To join the Black Parade"
Sometimes I get the feeling
She's watching over me
And other times I feel like I should go
And through it all, the rise and fall
The bodies in the streets
And when you're gone we want you all to know
We'll carry on, we'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone, believe me
Your memory will carry on, we'll carry on
And in my heart, I can't contain it
The anthem won't explain it
And while that sends you reeling
From decimated dreams
Your misery and hate will kill us all
So paint it black and take it back
Let's shout out loud and clear
Do you fight it to the end?
We hear the call to carry on, we'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone, believe me
Your memory will carry on, we'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
You're weary widow marches
On and on we carry through the fears
Disappointed faces of your peers
Take a look at me
'Cause I could not care at all
Do or die, you'll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart
Though you try, you'll never break me
We want it all, we wanna play this part
Won't explain or say I'm sorry
I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scar
Give a cheer for all the broken
Listen here, because it's only
I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
Just a boy who wanna sing his song
Just a man, I'm not a hero
I don't care!
We'll carry on, we'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone, believe me
Your memory will carry on, you'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
You're weary widow marches on
Do or die, you'll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart
Though you try, you'll never break me
We want it all, we wanna play this part
(We'll carry on)
Do or die, you'll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart
Though you try, you'll never break me
We want it all, we wanna play this part
(We'll carry on)
Again the common room was filled with the loud applause while the four of them on stage smile and bowed.
"ok everyone I'll sing one more song, mostly because my throat is somewhat dry right now." Harry made a big show of coughing a few times and Luna passed him a water bottle that someone gave to her, "oh! Thank you Lulu!" it was quiet as Harry drank, everyone waiting on the procrastinating Gryffindor, "ok I'm good to go."
He turned to his friends and pointed off the stage, "get off the stage you bloody wankers." They laughed and got off, walking over to their mates, "alright this one is for the new couples."
Desiree: I think ill end it right there. Lol sorry but I'm trying to decide what song to put next. Help? Any ideas? I have one song in mind but I would like your opinions.
