Okay as I previously mentioned I am terribly lazy with updating but oh
well. I want to give a special thanks to ChubbyPinkMonkey and
DancinBlondeGirl you two have been exceptionally encouraging. More
mushiness! Hey it's what you ordered.
Hermione awoke with a jerk. Upon awakening she identified her whereabouts as Tennessee.
"Okay class," Professor McGonagall stood to address the bus. "We are going to enter this bar and sing karaoke. You may select the song you sing but it must be country. And yes Mr. Weasley singing is mandatory." Ron lowered his hand sadly.
Hermione felt pity for Ron. She of all people knew his voice was terrible but he couldn't do anything about this predicament. Hermione's eyes rested on the still slumbering Draco.
She glanced at a wayward strand of silvery hair that fell across his eyes and tucked it behind his ear. She couldn't resist. She drew her hand away quickly when he stirred but didn't wake.
"Mal-Draco wake up, we're there." He muttered something and rolled over in his seat. Hermione laughed softly and flicked him against the ear. His hand lazily rose to swat at the air.
She leaned her face as close to his ear as possible without touching him. "Malfoy," She whispered "WAKE UP!!!" She yelled as loud as her voice could carry.
"Ahhh. What do you want?" He had finally been awoken. She laughed. "I thought you might want to join the world of the living."
"Well I don't."
"Too bad. You have to, come on." They strolled from the bus and in to the building.
Within the building the students were informed that they would be required to be properly costumed for the song that each chose. Malfoy and Hermione walked into a costume shop. Draco walked to the cowboy hats and immediately selected a deep green velvet one as Hermione chose a chartreuse hat along with a matching vest with tassels. They then selected boots of the same shade as the rest of their outfits. Draco discovered muggle jeans and added them to the ensemble. The two quickly made the necessary purchases and headed for the stage.
"Big wheels keep on turning Carry me home to see my kin Singing songs about the Southland I miss Alabama once again And I think it's a sin, yes
Well I heard mister Young sing about her Well, I heard ole Neil put her down Well, I hope Neil Young will remember A Southern man don't need him around anyhow
Sweet home Alabama Where the skies are so blue Sweet Home Alabama Lord, I'm coming home to you
In Birmingham they love the governor Now we all did what we could do Now Watergate does not bother me Does your conscience bother you? Tell the truth
Sweet home Alabama Where the skies are so blue Sweet Home Alabama Lord, I'm coming home to you Here I come Alabama
Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers And they've been known to pick a song or two Lord they get me off so much They pick me up when I'm feeling blue Now how about you?
Sweet home Alabama Where the skies are so blue Sweet Home Alabama Lord, I'm coming home to you Sweet home Alabama Oh sweet home baby Where the skies are so blue And the governor's true Sweet Home Alabama Lord, I'm coming home to you"
Snape finished, garbed in black snakeskin boots, black jeans, shirt, and cowboy hat he looked downright frightening.
He took his place beside Minerva at their table. "I didn't know we had to do this when ratified this decision." Muttered Snape annoyed.
McGonagall just smiled. "Whatever you are willing to put your students through you should be willing to go through yourself."
"Then go ahead, it's your turn." Snape sneered. McGonagall covered her look of terror, stood and approached the stage and began to sing.
"If elephants could fly I'd be a little more optimistic
But I don't see that happening anytime soon
I don't mean to sound so pessimistic
But I don't think that cow really jumped over the moon
Bridge:
When will I wake up?
Why did we break up?
When will we make up? Chorus:
When money grows on trees
People live in peace
Everyone agrees
When happiness is free
Love can guarantee
You'll come back to me -- that's when I'd love to wake up smiling -- full of the joys of spring
And hear on CNN that Elvis lives again
And that John's back with the Beatles and they're goin' out on tour
I'll be the first in line for tickets -- gotta see that show for sure Bridge:
When will I wake up?
Why did we break up?
When will we make up? Chorus:
When money grows on trees
People live in peace
Everyone agrees
When happiness is free
Love can guarantee
You'll come back to me -- that's when!" Minerva was shaking as she took her seat and listened to the polite applause. Next up was Malfoy but he was nowhere to be seen. "Mr. Malfoy!" Snape bellowed. "Coming Professor." Malfoy strolled into the room clad in jeans and a white shirt. He looked absolutely gorgeous as his melodious voice began to sing. Oh where oh where can my baby be? The lord took her away from me. She's gone to heaven so I have to be good.
So I can see my baby when
I leave this world. We were out on a date in my daddy's car.
We hadn't driven very far. There in the road, straight ahead, a car was stalled the engine was dead. I couldn't stop. So I swerved to
the right. I'll never forget the sound that night. The screaming tires, busting glass,
the painful scream that I heard last. Oh where oh where can my baby be?
The lord took her away from me. She's gone to heaven so I have to be good.
So I can see my baby when I leave
this world. When I woke up the rain was pouring' down.
There were people standing all around. Something warm running through my eyes, but somehow I found my baby
that night. I raised her head. She looked at me and said, "Hold me darling just
a little while." I held her close. I kissed her our last kiss. I found the love that I knew I had missed. Well, now she's gone, even though I hold her tight.
I lost my love, my life that night. Oh where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me. She's gone to heaven so I have to be good.
So I can see my baby when
I leave this world. Neither Ginny nor Pansy actually heard the song, but Hermione did and there were tears in her eyes as she stood to sing her song. But as the music began her tears faded.

You can tell the world you never was my girl,
You can burn my clothes up when I'm gone,
You can tell your friends just what a fool I've been,
And laugh and joke about me on the phone.
You can tell my arms go back to the farm,
You can tell my feet to hit the floor,
Or you can tell my lips to tell my fingertips,
They won't be reaching out for you no more.
But don't tell my heart,
My achy breaky heart,
I just don't think he'd understand.
And if you tell my heart,
My achy breaky heart,
He might blow up and kill this man.
You can tell your Ma I moved to Arkansas,
You can tell your dog to bite my leg,
Or tell your brother Cliff whose fist can tell my lip,
He never really liked me anyway.
Or tell your Aunt Louise, tell anything you please,
Myself already knows I'm not O.K.,
Or you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind,
It might be walking out on me today.
But don't tell my heart,
My achy breaky heart,
I just don't think he'd understand.
And if you tell my heart,
My achy breaky heart,
He might blow up and kill this man.
Both Ron and Hermione were in a state of shock. Malfoy was merely rolling on the floor with laughter. Harry winked at Pansy as she came upon the stage and began her song.

Oh, I'm gonna getcha good!
McGonagall stood. "Okay after that slightly disturbing performance I believe we will retire for the night." Ron was grateful for this and Crabbe and Goyle were examining an interesting saltshaker trying to figure out how it worked. The students migrated upstairs to their sleeping quarters.
At 1:00 am Hermione rose from her previous position of lying down facing the fact that she couldn't sleep. She stepped out onto the balcony overlooking a river.
"Hermione." A deep voice addressed her. She snapped her head around but saw nothing but blackness. She felt a gentle hand span her shoulder. "Hermione are you okay?"
She whirled around this time and her gaze met silver. "Draco." She breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm fine." He looked her over suspiciously. He moved his arm to encompass her shoulders and she felt her breathing quicken.
He brushed her cheek with his hand. She licked her dry lips. "Draco, you can't touch me like this." She whispered. "I can't help it." He admitted. "I have to touch you."
She ducked underneath his arm. "No you don't." She replied evenly. He smiled. Out of every girl in the world of course he'd want the only one he can't have.
"I guess I'll just have to change your mind somehow."
************************************************************************Phew ! That was long. I apologize about the blue ink but my computer is freaky ,like that. So tell me what you think and I'll see ya later!
