A/N: Hello, my pretties! Due to popular demand (*snort* yeah right…) I am
writing the next night in my little fic. I don't think it's exactly the
bees' knees, but hey, if you guys like it, that's all that matters, right?
I don't know if this is what you were expecting the next night to be like,
but it has a bit of new twist. They-wait, I don't want to give it away! And
before I get started, I have one thing to say.
alli: No. I don't like Britney Spears, and I have absolutely NO idea where you got the idea that I did. So what if I used her song? I thought it would be an amusing song for him.
Disclaimer: I don't own any Harry Potter stuff; that all belongs to our dear J. K. And the 'things' that are used in this fic (if I say what they are it'll give it all away) don't belong to me either, but I'm not really sure who they really belong to.
On with the story!
The Next night…
Hermione opened the door of the boys' dormitory and went in. Everyone was waiting for her there: Harry, Ron, Neville, Seamus, Dean, Parvati, Lavender, and Draco (hehe).
"What took you so long?" Harry demanded.
"I was in the library, Harry," Hermione said to him.
"Okay, now that everyone's here, we can get started," Ron said. "Now since we played Truth or Dare last night, I think we should do something else tonight. Any suggestions?"
Neville suddenly jumped up and shouted, "KARAOKE!" Everyone stared at him, and he sat back down, then quietly said, "Sorry. Blonde moment."
The room was silent. Harry slowly said, "Neville…you're not blonde. You know that, right?"
Neville nodded, then Ron spoke up. "You know, Neville doesn't exactly have a bad idea. Let's do karaoke!" Everyone grinned, but Ron continued. "But there aren't enough people. I have an idea. C'mon, we're going to the Great Hall."
Everyone, looking excited, followed Ron to the Great Hall, where the rest of the school sat, in the middle of dinner. All nine of them, led by Ron, went up to the Head Table and Ron quietly said something to Dumbledore. Dumbledore asked Ron something, Ron nodded, and Dumbledore smiled brightly.
"Attention, everyone!" he said happily to everyone in the hall, who were all watching him with interest. "Now that exams are over, Mr. Weasley came up with a brilliant idea for us all to celebrate. We're going to have a-" he paused, waved his wand, and in the front of the Great Hall appeared a stage with a microphone, "-karaoke contest!"
Everyone in the Great Hall surprisingly grinned, and as the food cleared away, all the lights dimmed and there was a blue spotlight on the stage. Dumbledore cleared his throat and said loudly, "Now, we're going to have a very limited number of contestants, as this is on such short notice. This will be held purely for the enjoyment of the rest of you, and the teachers will be the judges. Now, first up, I believe, is-"
But he was interrupted when the door flew open, and a figure of around six feet stepped in. He walked up to the stage and as he stepped into the spotlight, it became very clear to the rest of the hall who he was. Standing on the stage was none other than Oliver Wood, wearing a black guys' tank top (I would hope it wasn't a girls' tank top…) and black jeans.
Dumbledore looked at him, then slowly said, "Uh, Mr. Wood? You do know that you don't go to school here any more, correct?" Oliver nodded, but Dumbledore couldn't object to him participating, as he could not make himself heard over the screams of the girls. Finally, he said, "Oh, well, all right. Music?"
From out of nowhere, very Ricky Martin-ish music started, and Oliver began happily singing the words to 'Livin' La Vida Loca.' By the time he was finished, all the girls were screaming themselves hoarse, and with one last "WHOOO, OLIVER!!!" from Hermione and a jealous glance from Draco, he climbed off the stage.
Dumbledore, still looking rather surprised at the strange appearance of the student that hadn't been to the school in several years, said loudly, "Yes, yes, well done, Mr. Wood. And next up we have…Mr. Finnigan and Miss Patil!"
Seamus and Parvati stepped up on the stage, both grinning. They each picked up a mic, and the music started. Seamus sang into his mic, "I got chills! They're multiplying! And I'm losing control! 'Cause the power you're supplying-it's electrifying!"
Parvati sang into her own microphone, "You better shape up, 'cause I need a man. And my heart is set on you! You better shape up, you better understand that to my faith I must be true!"
"Nothing left! Nothing left for me to do!" Seamus and Parvati continued singing the song from the Muggle movie 'Grease' until the end, when everyone was clapping loudly.
"Yes, yes, well done," Dumbledore said when the applause died down. "Now," he continued, "Next up we have Mr. Thomas and Miss Brown!" (Notice he never really says their first names?)
Dean and Lavender went up on the stage, and their music started. "Listen baby," sang Dean, "Ain't no mountain high, ain't no valley low, ain't no river wide enough, baby!"
Lavender then began sing. "When you need me call me, no matter where you are, no matter how far!"
"Don't worry, baby!"
"Just call my name, I'll be there in a hurry, you don't have to worry!" (A note to Belle of the Ball, if she reads this: I wrote this part before you posted the chapter in your story with that song in it, so I'm not copying it or anything, just so you know)
When the song ended, everyone clapped. Dumbledore then said, "Well done! Next up we have Harry Potter and Ron Weasley!" (He said their first names! YEAH!)
Harry and Ron climbed onto the stage and rock music started. Ron started to sing into his mic, "Storming through the party like my name was El Nino, when I'm hanging out drinking in the back of an El Camino. As a kid, I was a skid, 'cause no one knew me by name, trashed my own house party 'cause nobody came!"
Harry then sang, "I know I'm not the one you thought you knew back in high school, never going, never showing up when we had to! Attention that we crave, don't tell us to behave, I'm sick of always hearing 'Act Your Age!"
They then sang together, "I don't wanna waste my time, become another casualty of society. I'll never fall in line, become another victim of your conformity, and back down!" They sang the rest of their song, ending with loud cheers from the audience.
Dumbledore, getting a little bored, said, for the lack of something new to say, "Yes, good job, Mr. Weasley, Mr. Potter. Next we have Miss Hermione Granger."
Hermione picked up the microphone and started to sing. "Every night in my dreams, I see you, I feel you, that is how I know you go on. Far across the distance and spaces between us, you have come to show you go on. Near, far, wherever you are, I believe that the heart does go on. Once more, you open the door, and you're here in my heart and my heart will go on and on." She sang her song from 'Titanic' and finished to a roar of applause.
"Very good job, Miss Granger!" Dumbledore said, no longer bored. He then cleared his throat (again…) and said, "And now, we'll have our last contestant. Please welcome Mr. Draco Malfoy!"
Draco walked onto the stage amid loud cheering from the audience, especially Pansy. Before the music started, Draco said, "Before I start, I would just like to dedicate this song to Hermione Granger. It doesn't really have to do with her, but I like her, so it's dedicated to her."
With that, Pansy looked absolutely furious. Draco smirked and the music started. He sang into the mic, "Closing time, open all the doors and let you out into the world. Closing time, turn all of the lights on over every boy and every girl. Closing time, one last call for alcohol so finish your whiskey or beer. Closing time, you don't have to go home but you can't stay here. I know who I want to take me home. I know who I want to take me home. I know who I want to take me home, take me home. Closing time, time for you to go out to the places you will be from. Closing time, this room won't be open 'till your brothers or your sisters come. So gather up your jackets, and move it to the exits, I hope you have found a friend. Closing time, every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end. I know who I want to take me home. I know who I want to take me home. I know who I want to take me home, take me home…" With that, he finished and the music stopped.
The audience cheered loudly, excluding Pansy, who was glaring at Draco. Seeing this as an added bonus, he said into his microphone, "And it's true, I do know who I want to take me home!" Pansy looked even madder and Harry and Ron burst into laughter. Draco, grinning, jumped off the stage.
Dumbledore, smiling, said, "Very good job, Mr. Malfoy! Now that the contest is done, the-"
He was interrupted when Professor Lupin said loudly, "Can't fight the moonlight."
Dumbledore turned to him and said, "Sorry, Remus?"
Lupin, grinning from ear to ear, jumped up onto the table and sang his own rendition of 'Can't Fight the Moonlight.' When he was done, he sat back down and everyone was staring at him. "Sorry…blonde moment."
Dumbledore, who thought it best not to tell Lupin that he wasn't blonde, said, "Well done, Remus. Although, since you weren't technically in the contest, you cannot be judged. Anyway, as I was saying, it is time for the judging. Will the judges please hold up a card with the name of the person you wish to win on it."
Hagrid, the first at the head table, held up a card that said, "Harry and Ron." Next to him, McGonagall's card said, "Oliver," and Professor Sprout's, for some reason, said, "Malfoy". Snape voted for Draco, and, for another strange reason, Trelawney voted for Hermione. Dumbledore himself voted for Hermione, and Lupin voted for Harry and Ron. The last judge, Flitwick, voted for Dean and Lavender.
"Oh dear," Dumbledore said. "We have a three-way tie. Conference!" All the judges came into a huddle behind the head table, and after about five minutes, they broke apart.
"Alright," said Dumbledore to the waiting hall, "All the judges have come to a decision. In third place is Harry and Ron, singing "Fat Lip." In second is Draco Malfoy singing "Closing time." And our first-place winner is Hermione Granger, with "My Heart will go on.""
The hall exploded in cheers and Harry, Ron, Draco, and Hermione all bowed. Then the lights came back on and, a bit strangely, everyone left. When the hall was nearly empty, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Draco, Seamus, Dean, Lavender, and Parvati all went to their dormitories, but Draco had an idea. An evil idea. Draco had a wonderful, evil, idea!
A/N: Ok, first off, I realize that by no means would Dumbledore just say that there would be a karaoke contest out of the blue. But I couldn't think of any other way, so he just did. Kay? Good. So, yes. That may seem kind of weird as a second chapter to a truth or dare fic, but I've got big plans for this little ficcy. Hehehe…Want to know what Draco's evil idea was? HAHAHA, too bad! Only I know. Stay tuned to find out!
New Disclaimer: Kay, now I can do this properly. Harry Potter and stuff belongs to J. K. Rowling; 'Livin' La Vida Loca' belongs to Ricky Martin; 'You're the One that I want' belongs to the Grease people, I guess; That song that Dean and Lavender sing that I don't really know the name of belongs to whoever sings it; 'Fat Lip' belongs to Sum 41; I guess 'My Heart will go on' belongs to the Titanic people; and 'Closing Time' (one of my very favorite songs!) belongs to Semisonic.
Now that that's done, please review! Say whatever you want. Go ahead and flame me if you want, and constructive criticism is definitely welcome. Oh, and the flames that I am sure to get will be used to light nice little fireworks! *takes the flames and lights the fireworks* OOH, PRETTY COLORS! *receives looks* Uh…yeah.
alli: No. I don't like Britney Spears, and I have absolutely NO idea where you got the idea that I did. So what if I used her song? I thought it would be an amusing song for him.
