PROLOGUE
Draco looked with trepidation at the box sitting on his seat at the Slytherin table. Mail hadn't arrived yet, and it was sitting at the same place where he had sat all year. Crabbe and Goyle gave Draco a look that showed that they were ready to open it or destroy it on his signal. Draco smiled and sat down, ignoring the box altogether. On the outside he looked calm and collected, inside the thought of what was in the box was eating him alive. Everyone else arrived in the great hall and began their breakfasts. Draco made it through half the meal before he reached out and snatched the box up. He yanked open the lid to find it empty. Disappointed and angry, he tried to shut the box but it would not close. A strange sensation filled up his body but he chose to ignore it, pushed the box away and continued with his meal. But gradually he became aware of the beat in his head and began to hum a tune to himself.
Harry was lost in his own thoughts until Ron nudged him. Harry looked up prepared to tell Ron to bugger off when he noticed that Draco Malfoy was standing on the Slytherin table with his head down.
"What the…" Harry mumbled to himself when all of the sudden Draco's hand shot up in the air and he sang out,
"EVERYBODY DANCE NOW!!"
All of the sudden a deep beat echoed all around the great hall and Harry could feel the beat resounding through his entire body. Suddenly all of the students began to dance. Standing on their tables or jumping on their seats they moved to the rhythm of the music. Draco cried out again
"EVERYBODY DANCE NOW!"
Harry was unable to control himself. He got out of his seat and began to dance, as did everyone in the hall. Even the teachers were moving to the catchy tune. Professor Dumbledore was twirling Professor McGonagall under his arm, while Snape grooved alongside them, doing a dance that suspiciously looked like the Macarena.
Suddenly the beat stopped and all eyes turned to Draco. Draco stood there with a look of pure shock on his face. Then it disappeared as he stepped off the table picked up his box and walked out of the hall, with every ounce of dignity that he could muster. Nobody knew quite how to react until Ginny became to giggle. The Hall erupted into laughter and everyone sat down and began to discuss what had happened.
Harry looked around and saw that Draco had not returned. 'Good', he thought to himself. The last thing that he needed was a repeat of today's sing-along. 'At least now I'll have some ammo against him next time he decides to make a snide comment'. Harry mused over this thought but his mind kept going back to one thing…Draco has an amazing voice.
