Independent Women
"So what should we do now?" Hermione asked the girls. They were holding a conference in the library, since the guys had set up their head-quarters in the Gryffindor Common Room.
"We should do something to show the guys that we don't need them." Cho offered.
From the back of the room, a voice shouted back "We don't?"
"We also need something that'll blow them away, something that'll be impossible to follow." Hannah Abbott added.
"I think I have the perfect song." Hermione smiled.
"Alright! Let's get this party started." Lee Jordan announced. He was acting as announcer for the sing-off. "Here's the rules: Girls go first. There's no time limit, dress code, or singer limit. After the girls, the guys will go. After both teams have gone, the audience will vote for who they think should win. At the end of an undetermined period of time, we will add up the number of times each team won, then there will be one final competition, possibly on the last day of school. With that said, let's go! Girls, you're up!"
A spotlight shined on the stage, but there was no one there. Suddenly, three girls rose from below the stage as three more appeared from behind the curtain.
The song started with a few seconds of music, then they started singing.
Lucy Liu...
A spotlight shined on the first girl, revealing Cho. She was wearing a yellow one shoulder top and low rise jeans splattered with dots of yellow paint.
with my girl, Drew...
The spotlight switched to Ginny, standing next to Cho. She was wearing a green tube top and cut-off shorts, with green paint.
Cameron D.
Spotlight on Hermione. She was wearing a blue halter top and a short jean skirt, with blue splatters .
and Destiny
The three girls who came from behind the curtain were illuminated for a few seconds, long enough to identifiy them as Parvati, Lavender, and Padma.
Charlie's Angels, Come on
Uh uh uh
Question: Tell me what you think about meI buy my own diamonds and I buy my own rings
They all held out their hands, palms down, to show off rings with huge diamonds on them.
"Cubic zarconias, I'll bet." Ron muttered.
Only ring your cell-y when I'm feelin lonely
When it's all over please get up and leave
Question: Tell me how you feel about this
Try to control me boy you get dismissed
Pay my own fun, oh and I pay my own bills
Always 50/50 in relationships
"Yeah, she only calls 50 percent of the time." Dean snickered to Seamus.
The shoes on my feet
I've bought it
They all stuck out a high-heeled foot, covered in rhinestones.
"Of course, who else would buy those shoes?" Ron laughed. Harry didn't notice, he was staring at Cho.
The clothes I'm wearing
I've bought it
The rock I'm rockin'
'Cause I depend on me
If I wanted the watch you're wearin'
They all held out their arms again, showing off Rolex after Rolex after Rolex.

I've bought it
The car I'm driving
I've bought it
I depend on me
(I depend on me)
All the women who are independent

All the girls in the audience did. All the boys sat with their arms stubbornly crossed across their chests.
All the honeys who makin' money
Throw your hands up at meAll the mommas who profit dollas
Throw your hands up at me
All the ladies who truly feel me
Throw your hands up at me
Cho, Ginny, and Hermione began punching and kicking at each other, but never actaully connecting.
Girl I didn't know you could get down like that
Charlie, how your Angels get down like that
Girl I didn't know you could get down like that
Charlie, how your Angels get down like that
A figure, dressed in dark pants, dark shirt, and a dark sports jacket, walked on stage, obviously supposed to be...
"Charlie!" Ron yelped. "I thought you were in Romania still!"
"I got off early. After all, how could I turn down them?" He gestured at the girls, who were waving at him and blowing kisses.
"Traitor." Ron muttered.
Tell me how you feel about this
Who would I want if I would wanna live
I worked hard and sacrificed to get what I get
Ladies, it ain't easy bein' independent
Question: How'd you like this knowledge that I brought
Braggin' on that cash that he gave you is to front

"Who does she depend on for flying help?" Harry called out.
"Or chess help?" Ron added.
"Who do you two depend on for help on everything else?" Hannah shouted at them. "I thought so." She smiled at their stunned faces.

"Hey, Ron, Harry!" Dean hissed. "Fred and George got these from Zonkos. On the count of three..."
Now instead of mock-fighting, the girls were break-dancing, while Lavander, Parvati, and Padma sang.
Girl I didn't know you could get down like that
Charlie, how your Angels get down like that
Girl I didn't know you could get down like that

Charlie just shrugged. Padma, Lavander, and Parvati stepped up now.
Destiny's Child
Wassup?
You in the house?

We'll break these people off Angel style
"Woah, they're good." Mdme. Rosemerta commented to McGonagall, who had showed up along with most of the other Hogwarts teachers to watch.
"Yeah, I heard they're going to go into music like the Weird Sisters after Hogwarts."

"One, two...THREE!"
A barrage of plastic hands, courtesy of the guys, descended upon the girls.
"HEY!" They shouted.
"Foul!" Padma cried.
"Ron!" Charlie shouted, getting slapped by a hand.
"Our turn!" Fred and George cried.
"What are you guys gonna sing? Some stupid Weird Al song?" Cho asked sarcastically.
"You'll see." George said mysteriously.
"So what should we do now?" Hermione asked the girls. They were holding a conference in the library, since the guys had set up their head-quarters in the Gryffindor Common Room.
