A/N: God! I'm going to make people cry here... Not in this chapter.. This one's going to be weird and zany. But that last one... I got a little carried away with the description of her. Of course if I did do it the way I normally do it... you would want to vomit as well... I can go that deep.

So.. Yes.. I did use Tears on my Heart... I think is deffinantly works... unfortunately, I can't listen to that damned thing now without wanting to cry... I'm so screwed up...

I warn you.. My approximation of Love Hurts By Sonia... that Tenchi theme song... yeah... my approximation is just that... I can barely tell what the girl is singing.




Chapter Ten




Harry had to call another meeting. He was getting tired of these meetings. They weren't accomplishing anything. He sighed heavily as he looked out through the window. November was leaving and the weather outside was getting colder. It was raining right now.

December was a day away and Harry couldn't wait until the Christmas Holidays. He planned to go back to either the Weasley's house or Sirius' house. He needed to get away from the prefects.

Nigma was making things even more difficult than before. This boy was going to be a severe thorn in Harry's backside whether Harry asked for it or not. "What kind of Head Boy allows one of his own house get killed and another student get killed.... all with in at least a month from each other!" said Thomas Nigma.

"He has more than just these problems to deal with, Thomas! Besides... you can talk to me as well... I AM head girl after all!" Hermione hissed at Thomas.

"Enough... this meeting is over... Everyone... go take a nice long break and have a nice night." Harry said as he stood up. He was tired of the Slytherin prefects trying to bait him.

He walked out through the door with Hermione coming up behind him. She was worried. He knew that from the sight of her biting her bottom lip in anxiety. "Harry... are you really alright? You seem like you could use someone to talk to..."

"I saw her, Hermione... I saw Susan before I heard the scream. She was saying good bye to me.... do you know how that makes me feel?!" Harry raged at her angrily. He stamped his foot. "I don't know who the next one will be! I can't tell if my scar is on the fritz or I am just defective! I feel like I did when Cedric died! I feel like hell! No! I feel worse than hell! I feel like hell scraped me off of it's heel!"

Hermione wrapped her arms around him and held him. He was so surprised that he couldn't move at all. He just stared at the top of her bushy haired head. "Stop it, Harry... don't keep blaming yourself like you always do.. You aren't the only one who's worried! You aren't the only one who's had doubts about their abilities. You aren't the only one in this!"

Her voice pierced through his sunken heart. Hermione was sobbing into his chest. He patted her head and sighed. "I'm sorry... Hermione..." He managed to say. "That's just been building up.... I could never get around to telling Ginny because I would get interrupted. I'm glad no one interrupted you... You are a true friend...."

Hermione lifted her face from his chest and gazed up at him through tears brown eyes. He smiled and hugged her. She started crying more and now he really didn't know what to do. "Uh... Hermione... you're choking me..."

She shot away from him and blushed. "Sorry, Harry.... I didn't mean to nearly kill you..." She said with a smile. "I think you can go talk to Ginny.... she should be in the Common room right now."

Harry smiled gratefully and ran off towards Gryffindor Tower. He walked into the Gryffindor common room and found that it was nearly empty. The teenage teachers were there as well as Astra, Nevaeh, Kennedy, Ron, Avalon and Ginny.

Harry walked over to Ginny and wrapped his arms around her from behind. He smiled gleefully at her. He felt lighter now than he did before. "Hello Ginny... I missed you..."

Ginny moved her head back so that she looked up at Harry and she smiled at him. "I see that you are feeling better.... how are you now?" she asked in a soft voice.

He kissed her lips gently. "Never better.... I just had a talk with Hermione..."

She smiled. "I'm glad... I was afraid that I would be of no help... that I'd only mess things up..."

Harry hugged her tightly. "Never... you would never mess anything up so bad that nothing could fix it. Just moderately screw things up...."

Ginny slapped his arm. "Thanks! Now I'm going to tell my brother on you!"

"Hey! Does anyone want to do some Karaoke?!"

Harry turned to source of the voice. There was Sirius holding up a small karaoke machine. "I do! I think these things are cool!" said Astra cheerfully.

There was some cackling coming from the girls dorm up the staircase. Harry turned and saw Severus running frantically down the staircase. Behind him was Minerva on Ginny's broom, her wand was out and she was zapping Severus in his rear with it. "BWAHAHAHAHA! That'll teach you to enchant my socks to bite me!"

"AAAAGH! SHE'S BLIVEN INSANE!" Severus screamed.

When he got to the foot of the stairs he hid behind the wall as Minerva flew down through and went past him. He took out his wand and shot a light at her rear. She flew off of the broom and hit the ground, her rear end up in the air. "Owie...." she said rubbing her rear.

Albus walked over to Minerva and helped her off of the floor. "Are you alright?" he asked.

"Yes ...."

Albus blushed brilliant pink. Severus looked amused. Sirius cocked a roguish eyebrow at her. Harry saw why they were all looking at her. Her skirt had grown too short for her now. Her underpants were showing.

She looked down and squealed. "Oh my goodness!" She turned and growled at Severus. "Severus! You did this!"

"Of course not, Minerva... why would I want to see your large bum!" He started running from her as she ran after him with her wand out. "Minerva, I do suggest making your skirt actually fit! This isn't a strip club!"

She blushed bright red and started transfiguring the skirt. The uniform skirt was now down to midcalf on her. "That's better... I wonder why I never thought about doing that before...."

"Now that we're all together..." Sirius began.

"Not yet!"

"Now we are!" said the twins coming through the portrait hole. They had bottles of butterbeer extra in their arms. "And we brought treats!"

"Now that we're all together, why don't we have some fun!" said Albus with a smile.

"WE are first on the machine!" said Sybil as she jerked Minerva to her side.

"What?!"

Then, Sybil motioned to Fred, who was now operating the karaoke machine. Fred started the machine and music started to play. "I can see clearly now the rain is gone!" Sybil sang loudly. Minerva could barely be heard.

As they sang, Sybil kept hitting Minerva in the face with her failing arm. Harry could see What was going to come up in a few minutes. Minerva growled suddenly and picked Sybil up and threw her.

"Well.. I appoint myself as a judge, and I say that Minerva gets points for her great form!" Avalon said with morbid glee.

"Oh dear.. This isn't going to go well..." said Nevaeh into another microphone. Harry guessed that she was going to be a judge as well.

Fred helped the beaten and whimpering Sybil off the stage and Minerva straightened her sweater and skirt and walked off stage. "Well... who's the next victim!" said Avalon.

"Ron Weasley!" said Nevaeh with a cheerful smile. George whistled and catcalled at her. "Stop that, George!"

"Ron's gonna sing? Good God..." Astra said absently.

"Yes... I always did think that I was good..." Sirius said next to her.

Astra glowered at him and grabbed his ears. "You are not God!"

"Am so! See! I have a name tag...!" Sirius said with a pained expression. She let go of his ears and stalked over to the fireplace.

Ron was already on the stage and didn't look a bit happy at the interruption. "Right... Can I start now?"

George pointed his wand at the machine and it played on it's own. "All the... small things... true care... truth brings... I'll take... one lift... your ride... best trip..."

Harry was holding his hands to his ears. Ron couldn't sing on key to the song and Harry had to grit his teeth to keep his sanity. Suddenly, a book came out of no where and hit Ron in the head. Hermione stalked on stage and picked Ron up by his arms and dragged him off stage. "Hermione? That was you?" Harry said incredulously.

"Well... what did you expect?! How long could you have taken that much torture!" she said defensively.

Nevaeh was staring at the scene with worry. "This game is getting violent...."

Avalon growled. "Not enough punishment for that boy... he defiled Blink one-eighty-two!"

"Yer enjoying this waaaaay too much, Vee..." Nevaeh said next to Avalon.

"And now! Please welcome Ginny and Hermione as they sing.... Whenever, Where ever!" Avalon said gleefully.

The music started playing a Brazilian type beat. Hermione and Ginny were beginning to get into the beat and started shimmying their hips. "Lucky you were born so far away so..." Hermione began.

"We could both make fun of distance..." Ginny finished.

"Lucky I love a foreign land for..."

"The lucky fact of your existence..."

Harry could feel his cheeks heat up. He glanced at Ron and Harry saw his ears go pink.

"Baby I would climb the Andes.. To count the freckles on your body.." Ron flushed brilliant red.

"Never could imagine there were only...ten million ways to love somebody!" Ginny sang. Harry could feel the heat increase in his face.

As the song went into the chorus, Harry saw Fred and George put their arms around Ron. "Well Ron..." said Fred.

"It looks like your girlfriend is fired up tonight!" George finished.

"I wonder when Hermione learned to bellydance...." Fred said.

"Or Ginny...." George said.

Ron glared at them. "Feel free to stop leering at my girlfriend anytime now..."

Hermione started singing again. "Lucky for my lips not only mumble... they spill kisses like a fountain..." Ron blushed to the roots of his fiery hair.

Ginny picked it up. "Lucky that my breasts are small and humble... so don't confuse them... with mountains..."

Ron jumped out of his seat and growled. Harry was about to faint. The blood rush to his head was overwhelming. Suddenly, Sirius whistled and catcalled at the girls on stage with something crude.

"KEEP YOUR COMMENTS TO YOURSELF!" Ron growled at Sirius.

"THAT'S MY GIRLFRIEND YOU'RE WHISTLING AT!" Harry growled at him as well.

Fred and George were on stage now and picking the girls up and throwing them over their shoulders. Fred picked up Ginny and Harry heard her growling. "I wonder if Britney Spears ever has this problem..."

George had picked up Hermione. "Sorry, 'Mione... but it's for your own good..."

Harry had wondered if Hermione had drank any of the Butterbeer extra before she went on stage. This proved he was right. "To coin and American phrase..." She slapped George on his rear. "Did you know... I could bounce QUARTERS off of your bum!"

Nevaeh growled into the microphone in her hand. "She's going to die now... Only I can slap his butt!"

"More information than we needed to know..." said Avalon.

Hermione was still on George's shoulder and she was pinching his rear now. "Hermione! Stop that!" George said in shock.

"I wonder if nice bums run in the family... I never really thought about looking..." Hermione said gleefully. Ron took her off of George and she started giggling madly. "Come here, Ronnie boy!" She kissed him fully on his lips and then pinched his rear.

"Severus Snape singing... Kiss from a Rose!" Avalon announced. Nevaeh was still glaring daggers at Hermione.

Severus walked onto the stage and picked up the microphone. The music started and Harry saw Minerva suddenly blush bright red. "There... used to be a greying tower alone on the sea... you became... the light on the dark side of me... Love remains... a drug that's the high and not the pill... but did you know.. That when it snows.. My eyes become larger... and the light that you shine can be seen..."

"Baby! I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.... oohhh.... the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah! Now that your rose is in bloom... a light hits the gloom on the grey!" Severus was singing like a professional. Minerva looked like there were no longer and lights on in her eyes.

After the song was over, everyone clapped. Even Sirius and Remus clapped. The door to the common room opened and in walked Professor Wizworth and Draco Malfoy. Draco walked all the way in and waved a dismissive hand at Wizworth. "Thanks...."

Wizworth walked out of the doorway and disappeared. Astra stood up and grinned when she appeared on stage. "My turn, now!"

The music started and it had a hard beat to it. "Catch you, brother! Love will leave you cryin'... It's gonna hurt you, till yer heart it dyin'! Can't escape it, ain' no use in tryin'! No exception! Love will leave you cryin' till... yer a broken man, are you!"

Harry watched the look on Draco's face go to one of admiration. Ginny and the other girls were dancing to the music. Even Astra was doing some dancing as the rap came in between the verses.

"Well there you see her.. A lovely stranger... you're only afraid to ask or know her name... You finally touch her.. Then yer in danger...you'll only love till you feel the pain! Cause yer emotions will overtake you! And all you'll have or want are those big brown eyes... But she's no angel and she'll forsake you! Shouldn't count that as any great surprise!"

"Passion isn't really happiness... there is trouble in her sweet carress! Lost in confusion, you try old delusions... There's no pride!" Astra went into the chorus and Draco was smirking at her.

When the song was over, Astra jumped off the stage and wobbled slightly. She shook herself and sighed a contented sigh. "Whew! That was fun!"

Harry patted her on her back. "Great job! Your were certainly fired up!" She smiled at him and walked over to Draco.

Kennedy stood up and smiled. "May I be next?"

Avalon went completely red. Kennedy looked worriedly at her. "Avalon... are you all right? Yer all red!"

"I'm... I'm fine, really..." she stammered out. She gave him the microphone from the stage and he walked up.

"I'll be singing 'Everything I do'... by Bryan Adams...."

The music started and Ginny snuggled up to Harry. Harry wrapped an arm around her and brought her closer.

"Look into my eyes... you will see... what you mean to me..."

"Wow... he's really good..." Harry said to Ginny.

She looked up at him and smiled. "Oh but Harry... you have a good voice as well!"

When the song was over, Nevaeh was looking at the score card. "Good God..." she said.

Sirius and Astra both looked up at her and smiled. "Yes?"

"YOU ARE NOT GOD!" Nevaeh growled.

Avalon looked at Nevaeh and sighed. "Should you announce them or should I..."

"You... I'm more likely to kill someone..." Nevaeh growled.

"And now! Sirius, Remus, and Harry!" Avalon shouted. "Singing.. We are family!"

Sirius dragged Harry up to the stage by his sweater. "Come on, Prods!"

Harry wasn't even going to ask how Sirius knew who Harry was. Remus came onto the stage reluctantly. The music started and Sirius put Harry into a headlock. "We are family! All of the Marauders and me!"

Astra watched as Harry snuck out of the drunken Sirius' clutches. Remus snuck away as well. She smirked as Ginny suddenly jumped and blushed. She looked down and Harry's head was next to her knees. "Sorry Ginny..." he said, his face was bright red.

Harry stood up and brushed himself off. He looked to the stage again. Sirius had stopped singing and looked around the stage. HE smirked evilly. The music started in a disco beat that sounded frighteningly familiar.

Minerva shouted. "Somebody stop him!"

Remus joined her. "Oh no! He's not going to sing.... THAT is he?!"

As if on cue, Sirius began to sing. "You can tell by the way I use my walk, I'm a womens man! No time to talk!" A book flew out of nowhere and hit him on the head. He went to the floor and Remus dragged him off the stage.

"Do you think we should stop this game?" Nevaeh asked timidly.

"Nah! It's just now startin' ta pick up!" Avalon said with an evil grin.

It was Harry's turn now and he was being dragged onto the stage by an ear. Astra pulled him up and gave him a microphone. "Sing..."

"But I..." Harry heard the music start and he knew what she had given him. "If I go crazy, then will you still call me superman! If I'm alive and well, then will you be there, holding my hand! I'll keep you by my side... with my superhuman... my.. Kryptonite..."

The song was over quicker than Harry felt it would have been. He went to his seat and hugged Ginny. "Next up is Draco!" said Avalon.

"I don't sing..." said Draco in that drawling voice of his.

"Says the man who sings 'Oops I did it again' in front of any mirror he can find..." Astra said flatly.

Draco growled and walked onto the stage. The music started and he sang with a surprisingly good voice. "I dream of rain... ee-le-lo-le.... I dream of gardens in the desert sand... I wake in pain... ee-le-lo-le... I dream of love as time runs through my hands... This desert rose... ee-le-lo-le... Each of her veils, a secret promise... This desert flower... ee-le-lo-le.... No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this..."

"Well... what do you know... a tie!" said Nevaeh as she looked at the score board Avalon had handed her. "Draco and Harry..."

"I can't believe I tied to a git like that! It was rigged from the start!" Draco growled.

"We tied, Draco... Is it so bad to be tied with me?!" Harry growled at Draco.

"Yes! It means that I'm equal to you!"

Astra walked up to Avalon and looked at the scoreboard. "Yer tryin' ta kill him aren't you..."

Avalon smirked. "Moi?"

Remus looked to Harry now. "Well.. What should we do now?"

Sirius held up a bottle and grinned madly. "How about spin the bottle!"
