Disclaimer: I wish I could say that I owned Harry Potter, but then, I wouldn't be writing a story on ff.net! I'd be rolling in dough! Anyway, I own who I own. I don't own the songs used in the karaoke contest.
(A/N) Wow! You really thought a Slytherin singing "Oops! I Did It Again!" was weird? *laughs* Man, you have another thing coming! Anyway, thank you to all that reviewed. Oh and * during the song means what Arissa is thinking/doing right before she sings!
Chapter Eighteen: Like a Prayer
Arissa
I don't remember much after Lucia "sang". Jessica went up, I know that much. I think she sang "Reflection" from that Muggle movie Mulan, but I could be wrong. (A/N She wasn't wrong. It's just not mentioned in the story.)
Anyway, the last thing I remember Dumbledore say was, "And for our last performance, we have 5 Gryffindors, Simone Malfoy, Arissa Malfoy, Jordan Rodriguez, Lisa Mehal, and Christina Ellis, otherwise known as Silver Dream, singing "Like a Prayer" by Madonna."
This was it. "Are you ready?" Simone asked.
We all nodded. "Let's go."
We made our way onto the stage. I started to shiver. I've never been so nervous in my life.
"Arissa, are you all right?" Jordan asked.
I nodded. This was no time to get scared. I took my place between Jordan and Simone.
Simone: Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home
All: When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there
*I swallowed hard. It was time for my solo.*
I hear your voice, it's like an angel sighing
I have no choice, I hear your voice
Feels like flying
*I can breathe again! I got through my first solo. My second one will be even better!*
Christina: I close my eyes, Oh God, I think I'm falling
Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Heaven help me
All: When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there
Jordan: Like a child, you whisper softly to me
You're in control just like a child
Now I'm dancing
Lisa: It's like a dream, no end and no beginning
You're here with me, it's like a dream
Let the choir sing
All: When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there
*I smiled, looking at my classmates. Justin was gaping, while Landon was giving us a thumbs-up.*
Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home
*Another smile. I can handle anything now!*
Jordan: Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Simone: Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery
Lisa: Just like a dream, you are not what you seem
Christina: Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there
All (3x): Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me
Simone: Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Christina: Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery
Jordan: Just like a dream, you are not what you seem
Lisa: Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there
All (3x): Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me
After we finished our song, the whole Hall exploded in cheers. I saw Professor McGonagall smirk to Professor Snape. Professor Lynch was impressed, I could tell that. Dumbledore took a gold cup from the judges' table and came forward.
"I guess we know who our winner is here! It is my pleasure to announce that the Cup goes to Silver Dream!"
"Oh my God!" Jordan screamed in my ear. "We won!"
We hugged each other, feeling like it would all end tomorrow.
"Now, we just have to beat Slytherin!" I said to my groupmates.
(A/N) Okay, there it is! You wanted Silver Dream and you got it! They won! Okay, review! *walks away to shove her head in some cold water*
