Chapter Twenty-Six
"Okay whatever you say, Seanny," Kristine said. "But we still need to do our last song, remember?"
"Yeah," Seanny replied. She took the microphone again. "Okay it's almost the end of our show. But we do have one more performance before the ball starts. It doesn't really fit in with Christmas but it is a tradition that we sing it even though it is a Patriotic song. It's called 'God Bless the USA.'" She put down the microphone and went to the Madrigals who were waiting for her.
"If tomorrow all the things were gone I worked for all my life And I had to start again With just my children and my wife I thank my lucky stars To be living here today And the flag still stands for freedom And they can't take that away
And I'm proud to be an American Where at least I know I'm free And I won't forget the men who died Who gave that right to me And I'd gladly stand up next to you And defend her still today 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God bless the USA
From the lakes of Minnesota To the hills of Tennessee Across the plains of Texas From sea to shining sea
From Detroit down to Houston And New York to LA Well there's pride in every American heart And it's time we stand and say
And I'm proud to be an American Where at least I know I'm free And I won't forget the men who died Who gave that right to me And I'd gladly stand up next to you And defend her still today 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God bless the USA
And I'm proud to be an American Where at least I know I'm free And I won't forget the men who died Who gave that right to me And I'd gladly stand up next to you And defend her still today 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God bless the USA
God Bless the USA," they sang.
There was a huge applause and everyone was hugging her. Seanny hugged them back and then Dumbledore came up to her and told her that they could stay for the ball.
"Really, Professor?" Seanny asked, very shocked.
"Yes Miss Diggory. Since you won't be able to see them until the summer holidays so I talked to your parents and they talked to your friends' parents and they agreed," replied Dumbledore.
"Oh thank you so much!" She looked at Zach with evil eyes and went up to him. "What happened to my boyfriend?"
"What in the hell are you talking about, Diggory?" Zach asked, pretending to be confused.
"You know what I'm talking about. You did something to him and then used the Polyjuice Potion to turn into him."
"I didn't do anything. The other Slytherins did."
"Ugh! You are so annoying you know that?"
"But of course."
Seanny looked at him and then slapped him across the face.
"What was that for?"
"For you because such an insignificant brat!"
"If you ask me, you're the one being the brat."
"Well you aren't so there." With that she went to her dorm and changed into her gown that she was going to wear. She went back out and saw her friends there.
Kristine ran up to her and said, "We found Oliver in that broom closet outside the field with the hoops. He looks really bad like he was beat up."
"Is he still there?"
"No I'm okay," replied Oliver who came out of the group. He had a black eye that looks like he badly needs to go to the Hospital Wing.
"Ollie, we better take you to the Hospital Wing just in case."
"I assure you I'm fine."
"What's the Hospital Wing?" asked Chris.
"It's like the nurse's office but bigger," Seanny and Oliver said at the same time.
"Cool!" they all said as a response.
"Okay I'll go," Oliver said finally giving up.
Seanny smiled and then told everyone to stay there while she goes with him to the hospital wing. They gladly obliged.
"What happened?" Seanny asked.
"Flint, Zabini, Malfoy, and Parkinson pulled it outside and they started to beat me up. I tried to fight back but."
"Oh I see."
"Okay whatever you say, Seanny," Kristine said. "But we still need to do our last song, remember?"
"Yeah," Seanny replied. She took the microphone again. "Okay it's almost the end of our show. But we do have one more performance before the ball starts.
