The Karaoke Contest By: Hermione's Twin Sister © November 23, 2002

Disclaimer: I don't own the Harry Potter characters; they all belong to J.K. Rowling. And all of the songs belong to the writers who wrote them.

AN: This story takes place during The Goblet of Fire, a few nights before the students from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons leave Hogwarts.

"Look, at this!" Hermione exclaimed to Harry and Ron. "I've never noticed any flyers around before, but this one says that everyone should be in the Great Hall tonight for a special announcement."

"But what could the announcement be, Hermione? I mean they already announced Cedric died, that Cedric and I won the Triwizard Tournament, and I doubt that they'll announce that Voldemort rose." Harry asked.

"I really have no idea, do you, Ron?" Hermione responded.

"Not a clue," said Ron, "but I doubt that Dumbledore will say anything about Voldemort's rising, I mean I don't think that everyone's parents would approve of it."

"Exactly, so what could it be." Harry pondered.

"Thank you all, for coming to the Great Hall tonight," Dumbledore said when everyone had quieted down. "I know that most of you have been under strain lately with the exams and all," with this, his eyes flickered over to Harry and caught his eye, but only held it for a second. "The teachers and I have come across an idea. We have decided to have as Karaoke Contest. Whoever wants to participate may, there is no age limit. You may only sing songs that muggles listen to, however, so it is also a bit of a learning experience, even for those who have lived with muggles their entire lives. The judging will be based on what you are dressed in, your choreography, and how well you sing the song, based on how the singer or group sings it, so if you have a horrible singing voice, don't worry about it. Just sing it how the singer of the song would sing it. That is all, thank you!"

Everyone went out of the Great Hall, chatting excitedly, about what songs to sing, what to wear, and what they should do about choreography. © November 23, 2002 AN: Sorry it's so short, the next will be a longer, I promise. Please read and review!
