Kareoke Night II: Take Two

By Nari-chan

READ THIS IF YOU ARE READING THIS STORY: Here it is, the first sequel to Kareoke Night. There are a few things I must explain to you first:

SILLY SONGS WITH SIRIUS: This story takes place in Harry's sixth year. Sirius had just been freed because Wormtail was caught and confessed. At the beginning of this story there will be a bit of discussion about Sirius Black. Sirius is also the new flying instructor, and Remus is back in the DADA position.

ABOUT THIS SONG: This is just some Hr/R fluff I had to get out of the way! Ron is singing to Hermione!

DISCLAIMER: The plot of this story is mine. As are all Silly Songs. All the characters belong to J.K Rowling, I'm simply borrowing them for a sequel. All songs belong to their respective artist and record companies.

"SIRIUS BLACK IS INNOCENT!"

"WHAT?"

"Read the Daily Prophet! It says Peter Pettigrew committed all of those crimes! Black was framed!"

"Are you sure?"

"They used Veritaserum on both!"

"Oh! I always knew he was innocent!"

"Yeah right!"

Harry watched all of this in amusement. Just yesterday, Pettigrew had been caught, and now Sirius was free. He, Ron, and Hermione had been the only students to know until now, and the result was quite amusing.

Hush fell across the hall as Professor Dumbledore stood up. "Along with tonight being 'Kareoke Night,' Professor McGonagall snorted. "I have a special announcement! May I present to you, your new Flying Instructor, Professor Sirius Black!"

As Sirius entered the Great Hall, Gryffindor students burst into a great applause. Most had known he was innocent for a few weeks or so. A few moments later Ravenclaw students and Hufflepuff students joined in, after they decided he was harmless…or as harmless Sirius Black could be.

Sirius waved and the cheering grew louder…the only ones still sulking were the Slytherins. (A/N: Haven't change much in twenty years, have they?) Grinning, he took a seat at the head table near Professor Lupin. He leaned over and muttered something in Remus's ear. The both grinned and laughed.

Professor Dumbledore stood once more and silenced the hall. "The first act for Kareoke Night is…Ron Weasley!"

Everyone cheered and Ron walked up to the stage. He and Harry exchanged a look…Ron had been planning this since the beginning of their fifth year. Leaning over to the Microphone, Ron smiled and spoke. "I want to dedicate this song to Hermione Granger!"

Hermione blushed and Ron began to sing as the music began.

/Don't pretend you're sorry

I know you're not

You know you got the power

To make me weak inside

1 And girl you leave me breathless

But it's okay

Cuz you are my survival

Now hear me say

I can't imagine a life

Without your love

Even forever don't seem like long enough/



Hermione blushed even more, if it was possible. Harry fell into a fit of giggles and ducked under the table along with Seamus and Dean.



/Cuz every-time

I breathe

I take you in

And my heart beats again

Baby I can't help it

Keep drowning in your love

And every-time I try to rise above

I'm swept away by love

Baby I can't help it

I keep drowning in your love/



Hermione was breath shallowly now, which amused the guys a lot. Sirius had also fell into a fit of giggles, and Remus was scolding him. Ron only smiled and continued.



/Maybe I'm a drifter or maybe not

Cuz I am only safe here floating freely in your arms

I don't need another lifeline it's not for me

Cuz only you can save me oh can't you see/



At this point, half of the Great Hall was in tears (Remus, Hermione and co.), ¼ (Harry, Sirius and co.) were giggling profoundly, and the other ¼ was scowling (Snape and the Slytherins).



/I can't imagine a life without your love

and even forever don't seem like long enough/



/Cuz every-time I breathe I take you in

And my heart beats again

Baby I can't help it

Keep drowning in your love

And every-time I try to rise above I'm swept away by love

Baby I can't help it

I keep drowning in your love/



/Go on and pull me under

Cover me with dreams

Love me mouth to mouth now

You know I can't resist cuz you're the air that I breathe/



Hermione was now gaping and crying. Even the people who had been giggling had stopped and now were listening to the song.



Cuz every-time

I breathe I take you in

(Every-time I breathe)

And my heart beats again

Baby I can't help it

(Baby I can't help it)

Keep drowning in your love

Every-time I try to rise above I'm swept away by love

Baby I can't help it

Keep drowning in your love/



Harry smiled at Ron and he smiled back.



/Cuz every-time I breathe I take you in

And my heart beats again

Baby I can't help it

Keep drowning in your love

And every-time I try to rise above I'm swept away by love

Baby I can't help it

2 Keep drowning in your love/

The song ended and the hall exploded into a mixture of applause, crying and silence.

Ron walked down from stage and took her hand. She looked up at him as he spoke. "Hermione, I would love for you to be my girlfriend…"

"YES!" She flung her arms around his neck and pecked him on the lips. Everyone cheered some-more until Dumbledore stood up once again.

"Hate to interrupt this moment, but I need to announce the next act! May I present to you…someone name Crookshanks."

Every Gryffindor shot their heads to look at Hermione, who looked clueless.

"P-Professor…Crookshanks is my cat…he can't talk."

Okay, Crookshanks is next! If anyone has the lyrics to "Everybody wants to be a cat" from the Disney movie the Aristocats, could you send them to me? Thanks!
