The Completely Pointless, Plotless Fanfiction Ever!
Greetings one and all! If you still remember me, that's good. If not, then allow me to offer you this apology. I would have posted sooner and more often if not for these following reasons: Laziness, Lack Of Resources, and Lack Of Motivation (also known as Laziness). However, an idea for a Music Chapter came to me the other day and I'd thought I'd share it with you. So, here it is, the first ever Music Chapter for this feature. I just want to remind everyone that any songs that is featured in this and the following chapters are owned by the respective Songwriters. With that, Enjoy!
Music Chapter 1: The Boy Who Lives Live!
Harry's Wedding Concert!
("Jam" by Michael Jackson)
The sun set lower and lower in the sky as it gradually became a darker blue, making way for the moon. The crickets took this as a cue to come out and fill the air with a soothing, almost musical sound. However, this sound was being drowned out by a much louder sound of celebrating and lively music coming from a nearby tent. In this tent, which was connected to the Burrow, was a whole congregation of Wizards and Witches alike. They were all celebrating Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour's wedding. The wedding was very lavish, the color scheme almost that of a pastel quality. The crowd had just settled down from a rousing jig played by a famous Wizard DJ who can summon any musical style with just a flick of his wand. Harry Potter had decided attended this party, not before having reservations about going a little early on. There was discussion of him having a bit of Polyjuice Potion and maybe go as a cousin of Ron's but in the end, he decided to suck it up and just wave with a smile on his face if someone were to notice him. However, he found himself calmer than he thought we would be. In fact, he was having a good time! He was currently sitting at a table with his two friends, Ron and Hermione.
"Blimey, Harry. You look like you just took a dose of Felix Felicis." Ron commented, his face full of tart.
"You didn't, did you?" Hermione questioned Harry, giving him the look she gets when she scolds them.
"No. Honest." Harry simply said. At this moment, he felt a content feeling that one wouldn't get from Liquid Luck, like everything was alright. Harry looked around and noticed that even though this was to be a joyous occasion, people were still looking as if they were stressed out and that the Wedding was not enough of a distraction from the current events of the Wizard World.
"This won't do." Said Harry, "This should be a happy moment. Why are they going around like it's a funeral or something?"
"Sorry, Mate. The gloomy faces go with the times, I'm afraid." Ron said, giving a shrug as he popped another finger tart into his mouth.
"Ron's right." Hermione added, "I hate to be so negative but you can't help but be depressed when you hear about all these deaths almost every day. And how are you as happy as you are when You-Know-Who is chasing after you?"
"Easy. I just go with it." Harry simply said.
"'Go with it'?" Ron and Hermione repeated in unison.
"Yeah, it's very simple." Harry answered smiling. The other two watched as he got up and went over to the Wizard DJ, whispering something to him.
"What's he doing?" Ron asked and no sooner had he posed the question when the lights suddenly went out, amid a chorus of murmurs. Suddenly, a synth drum beat sounded out, followed by the sound of glass breaking, which startled a few people. And then came Harry counting down in an oddly serious fashion.
1, 2, 3…Jam!
The lights flared back on but were now a deep blue as a Synth drum sequence began to play. The crowd watching were completely mystified at the sight of Harry Potter suddenly dancing at the back of the tent to a beat usually heard in Muggle songs. As Harry did some very well choreographed dance moves that consisted mostly of those from the early 90's, a deep voice softly chanted rhythmically, in an almost hypnotic fashion:
Jam Jam Jam
Jam! Ya wanna get up and Jam?
Jam Jam Jam
Ya wanna get up and Jam?
This actually worked as some of the already standing people had started to sway a little to the beat. Ron and Hermione looked on in awe as Harry performed moves of that of a very popular Muggle singer. He began to sing in an a magically amplified voice:
Nation To Nation
All The World
Must Come Together
Face The Problems
That We See
Then Maybe Somehow We Can Work It Out
Harry sang these words with a smoothness that no one has ever heard from him before. His moves were like contained excitement finally bursting. As if he had been waiting for such a long while to do this.
I Asked My Neighbor
For A Favor
She Said Later
What Has Come Of
All The People
Have We Lost Voice
What It's About
Harry did these moves with gusto as he sang his heart out. He has never performed for anyone, let alone a whole crowd, most of whom he has never met before but he didn't care. He felt like this was something he should do.
I Have To Find My Peace 'Cause
No One Seems To Let Me Be
False Prophets Cry Of Doom
What Are The Possibilities
I Told My Brother
There'll Be Problems,
Times And Tears For Fears,
We Must Live Each Day
Like It's The Last
Go With It
Go With It!
At this moment. The light flashed to a hot red as Harry sang the chorus:
Jam!
It Ain't Too Much Stuff
It Ain't Too Much
It Ain't Too Much For Me To
Jam!
It Ain't
It Ain't Too Much Stuff
It Ain't
Don't You
It Ain't Too Much For Me To
The energy that Harry projected sent a chill through the place. More people had gotten up and were dancing along with the song, trying to keep up with the energy. Some were trying to imitate his dance moves. The light flashed back to the somber blue as the energy died down a bit.
The World Keeps Changing
Rearranging Minds
And Thoughts
Predictions Fly Of Doom
The Baby Boom
Has Come Of Age
To Work It Out
The crowd listened to the lyrics carefully and could defiantly relate to the current plights of the world. They were all glad that whoever the writer of the song was understood what was going on.
I Told My Brothers
Don't You Ask Me
For No Favors
I'm Conditioned By
The System
Don't You Talk To Me
Don't Scream And Shout
Harry danced around the stage, his suit coat flying all around the air with a grace that almost rendered it alive.
She Pray To God, To Buddha
Then She Sings A
Talmud Song
Confusions Contradict
The Self
Do We Know Right
From Wrong
I Just Want You To
Recognize Me
In The Temple
You Can't Hurt Me
I Found Peace
Within Myself
Go With It!
Go With It!
The light flashed back to the Red as the energy flared up again, almost stronger than what it was before. Nearly the whole crowd were up on the floor dancing with a vigor not really found in Wizard music. Those who called Muggle songs "Loud and Obnoxious" were proven wrong.
Jam!
It Ain't
It Ain't Too Much Stuff
It Ain't Too Much
It Ain't Too Much For Me To
Jam!
It Ain't
It Ain't Too Much Stuff
It Ain't
Don't You
It Ain't Too Much For Me To
Ron and Hermione found themselves on the floor, dancing along to the infectious song. They understand why Harry was singing this song and they thought, perhaps he was right. The lights flashed to a sexy violet as Harry spread his legs and stood for an brief moment with his arms raised in the air.
Jam!
Aha, It Ain't
It Ain't Too Much Stuff
It Ain't Too Much
It Ain't Too Much For Me To
Jam!
It Ain't
It Ain't Too Much Stuff
It Ain't
Don't You
It Ain't Too Much For Me To
Jam!
At this moment, members from another Wizard Band suddenly stood up from amidst the crowd and began to play a Jazzy horn section of Trumpets and Saxophones. What was once a quiet wedding was now a bumping club. After a swinging end to the sections, Harry took this chance to show off some really hot moves. He popped and locked and at one point, did an almost flawless moonwalk. At this point, everyone had stopped dancing to watch Harry, clapping along to the rhythm of the song. The lights were now flashing different colors, each color seemingly representing the vibe of the song. Harry went on to the next chorus as if he had gained more energy from the dance break he just did.
Jam!
It Ain't
It Ain't Too Much Stuff
It Ain't Too Much
It Ain't Too Much For Me To
Jam!
Get On It
It Ain't Too Much Stuff
It Ain't
Don't Stop
It Ain't Too Much For Me To
Jam!
It Ain't
It Ain't Too Much Stuff
It Ain't
Don't You
It Ain't Too Much For Me To
Jam!
It Ain't
It Ain't Too Much Stuff
It Ain't
Don't You
It Ain't Too Much For Me To
It Ain't Too Hard For Me To Jam!
It Ain't Too Hard For Me To Jam!
Harry seemed like he tried his best to make that statement true. He was experiencing a high like he's never experience before. He couldn't help be feel like he was doing the right thing when he looked at all the smiling people dancing along. He tried to stifle a giggle as Ron nearly tripped trying to do a spin. Harry thought he would do it the right way during the break down. He found himself doing about three spins, his coat flying out behind him. He nearly stumbled himself when he stopped but no one seemed to notice for they were giving a little cheer. As a synth POP sounded out, Harry flung up his arms and then ripped off his coat, flinging it to the right of him
Get On It!
The horn sections were blaring loudly, adding to the flavor of the song. Harry began to sing the final chorus with as he dancing around in his Shirtsleeves.
Jam!
It Ain't
It Ain't Too Much Stuff
It Ain't
Don't You
It Ain't Too Much For Me To
Jam!
It Ain't Too Much Stuff
It Ain't Too Much
It Ain't Too Much For Me To
Jam!
It Ain't Too Much Stuff
It Ain't Too Much
It Ain't Too Much For Me To
Jam!
Too Much
It Ain't Too Much Stuff
It Ain't
Don't You
It Ain't Too Much For Me To
Harry took a look at how the crowd was dancing, especially The Weasleys. Ginny was doing a variation of the Macarena, which consisted of her beginning to do the actual dance but added a move where she flips her hair out with both her hands. Arthur and Molly were doing a version of the Funky Chicken. The strange one being how Fred and George did a few funky moves and suddenly jumps up to hold on to a chin up bar that was there all of a sudden. Harry wished it had went on a little longer but knew he had to end the song
Get On It
Get On It
Give It Baby
Give It To Me
Come On
You Really Give It Too Me
Got To Give It
You Just Want To Give It!
After the last line, a synth Booming noise rang out at the lights flashed a bright white and slowly dimmed to black. When all was silent, the original lights in the tent came back on as Harry stared out to the sea of faces; some were smiling, most were looking in awe. Harry casually walked back to his seat as cheering and clapping erupted from the crowd. Pretty soon, it died down and everyone went back to the party, a more noticeably cheerful air could be hear from the murmuring crowd. Ron and Hermione rushed back over as Harry calmly sipped a drink.
"Harry! That was amazing!" Ron shouted.
"That was an interesting choice of lyrics. I guess you're right. We shouldn't let the dark times dampen our goodtime. You sure lighten the mood here." Hermione said, indicating the giddier atmosphere. Harry gave a little smile.
"Good." He simply said. Harry spotted Elphias Doge at a table ahead. He worked up the courage to get up and talk to him, and as he was about to get up to go other there, Harry could hear an odd noise. A Basketball bounced into view and rolled the rest of the way off screen.
Well, there you have it, the first Music Chapter. Now, I sorta struggled a little bit on some parts but I hope I got it right. So, do ya remember me now?...Good! So, we are in the last days of the first year of the new decade and soon, Quad 1 should be here soon. I hope that all throughout 2011 the frequency of stories will be more than what it was in quite a while. Well, please tell me what ya thought, as well as songs you may want to see be performed. REMEMBER, not every song will make it, seeing as there will be some songs I may not do. We'll see. Either way, Til' The Next!
