(A/N) Wow! 55 reviews! Thank you, thank you, thank you! That means so much to me! Anyway, the next few chapters are going to be about the karaoke contest! Here we go!
Chapter Seventeen: Amish Paradise and Oops! I Did It Again!
Simone
Finally, Halloween is here! At breakfast, Dumbledore announced that the karaoke contest started at three. He also canceled all classes after two, giving everyone a chance to get ready.
"Simone, have you seen my Unicorn Blood nail polish?" Arissa asked me.
"It should be in your trunk," I replied as I was doing Lisa's nails.
"Oh, here it is!" she exclaimed, waving the bottle.
We all laughed. "Arissa, you're normally the quiet one," Jordan said. "Okay, Christina, you're done."
Christina got off the chair, her hair in a French braid, and went to Arissa to have her nails done.
"Hey, Simone, you're next!" Jordan called.
"Okay." I finished Lisa's nails and walked over to where Jordan had her chair set up.
"High ponytail, right?" she asked.
"Yep," I replied.
She pulled my long platinum hair into a really high ponytail. Afterward, all five of us checked ourselves out in the mirror, and went to the Great Hall.
The High Table was removed, making it the stage for the contest. The stage was draped in Hogwarts colors: red, blue, yellow, and green.
The teachers were sitting close to the stage, since they were judging the performances. As always, Snape looked evil. Dumbledore smiled at us as we sat at the Gryffindor table.
"Welcome, everyone, to the first ever Hogwarts Halloween Karaoke Contest!" Dumbledore announced.
The whole Hall exploded in cheers again. Dumbledore smiled, his blue eyes twinkling.
"You know the rules already, so let's get started. The first duo to perform will be Gryffindors Justin Potter and Landon Weasley. They will be singing "Amish Paradise" by Weird Al."
Arissa and I laughed. We knew they'd sing something weird like that!
Justin and Landon got up on the stage, wearing all black with no buttons, fake beards, and black hats. The music began.
Justin: As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain
I take a look at my wife and realize she's very plain
But that's just perfect for an Amish like me
Ya know, I shun fancy things like electricity
At 4:30 in the mornin' I'm milkin' cows
Jebediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows…fool
And I've been milkin' and plowin' so long that
Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone
I'm a man of the land, I'm into discipline
Got a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin
But if I finish all of my chores and you finish thine
Then tonight we're gonna party like it's 1699
Both: We've been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish paradise
I churn butter once or twice
Living in an Amish paradise
It's hard work and sacrifice
Living in an Amish paradide
We sell quilts at discount price
Living in an Amish paradise
Landon: A local boy kicked me in the butt last week
I just smiled at him and I turned the other cheek
I really don't care, in fact I wish him well
'Cause I'll be laughing my head off when he's burning in hell
But I ain't never punched a tourist even though he deserved it
An Amish with a 'tude? You know that's unheard of
I never wear buttons, but I got a cool hat
And my homeys agree, I really look good in black…fool
If you come to visit, you'll be bored to tears
We haven't even paid the phone bill in 300 years
We ain't really quaint, so please don't point and stare
We're just technologically impared
Both: There's no phone, no lights, no motorcar
Not a single luxury
Like Robinson Caruso
It's as primitive as can be
We've been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish paradise
We're just plain and simple guys
Living in an Amish paradise
There's no time for sin and vice
Living in an Amish paradise
We don't fight, we all play nice
Living in an Amish paradise
Justin: Hitchin' up the buggy, churnin' lots of butter
Raise a barn on Monday, soon I'll raise anutter
Think you're really righteous? Think you're pure at heart?
Well, I know I'm a million times as humble as thou art
Landon: I'm the pious guy the little Amlettes wanna be like
On my knees day and night, scorin' points for the afterlife
So don't be vain and don't be whiny
Or else my brother and I just might have to get medieval on your heinie
Both: We've been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish paradise
We're all crazy Mennonites
Living in an Amish paradise
There's no cops or traffic lights
Living in an Amish paradise
But you'd probably think it bites
Living in an Amish paradise
Ah oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Ah oh oh oh, oh oh YEECH!
I couldn't hold my laughter as they finished. Neither could the rest of the students. We laughed until we cried, except Snape.
"Thank you, boys, for a funny start to our contest," Dumbledore said. "Now, we have Slytherin, Lucia Moravan, singing "Oops! I Did It Again!" by Britney Spears.
Lucia made her way onto the stage. Man, she was so ugly! She was scantily clad in Britney-esque clothes.
"My eyes!" Arissa whispered. "My eyes!"
The rest of Silver Dream snickered. We agreed though. It was disgusting.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah
I think I did it again
I made you believe we're more than just friends
Oh baby
It might seem like a crush
But it doesn't mean that I'm serious
'Cause to lose all my senses
That is just so typically me
Oh baby, baby
Oops!...I did it again
I played with your heart, got lost in the game
Oh baby, baby
Oops!...You think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent
You see my problem is this
I'm dreaming away
Wishing that heroes, they truly exist
I cry, watching the days
Can't you see I'm a fool in so many ways
But to lose all my senses
That is just so typically me
Baby, oh
Oops!...I did it again
I played with your heart, got lost in the game
Oh baby, baby
Oops!...You think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah
*Robert Goyle comes out*
"All aboard"
*Robert* "Britney, before you go, there's
something I want you to have"
*Lucia* "Oh, it's beautiful, but wait a minute, isn't this...?"
*Robert* "Yeah, yes it is"
*Lucia* "But I thought the old lady dropped it into the ocean in the
end"
*Robert* "Well baby, I went down and got it for you"
*Lucia* "Oh, you shouldn't have"
Oops!...I did it
again to your heart
Got lost in this game, oh baby
Oops!...You think that I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent
Oops!...I did it again
I played with your heart, got lost in the game
Oh baby, baby
Oops!...You think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent
Thank God the music ended. Lucia's singing was awful! I hope she goes for singing lessons. Maybe not, she might blow up her instructor! I glanced at my groupmates. They looked green, especially Arissa.
"Next, we have…" Dumbledore said.
(A/N) Aw, a cliffhanger! Sorry about that, but I need some time to think over what the other students should sing and where to put in Silver Dream! Anyway, review!
