It was the middle of Harry's 6th year at Hogwarts and everyone was feeling a bit flat. This

Was do to the fact that the Christmas holidays where over and the Easter holidays were

still 2 months away. It was a seemingly normal when Friday night when Professor

Dumbledore stood up to make an unexpected announcement. He stood with as much

elegance and grace as any monarch of any time. He began to clink his ornate goblet with

his spoon and cleared his throat. The noise in the great hall slowly dwindled until there

was silence and Dumbledore began to speak.

"Our head boy and girl," Dumbledore gestured over to the table where the head boy and

girl sat, "has asked me to make a little announcement that I think you all will enjoy. This

year at Hogwarts we will be holding a karaoke contest." There arose a murmur of consent

and plan making. "Now before you get yourselves to far ahead of yourselves you need to

know that this will be only open to those in 5th and 6th year." at those word the great hall

burst into a riot so loud, that it made the ceiling, which was a placid cloudless night sky,

shake above." Now wait, let Miss Chang and Mister Morehouse explain the reasons why.

Miss Chang if you would."

"Certainly," Cho said brightly, " the first reason was if we let the whole school try out to

make the show we would indeed have the whole school come to the auditions." at these

words the hall erupted again in disbelieving horror. "Yes you have to audition before we

let you enter. Second, we thought that it would save embarrassment of any of the younger

student whose voices are currently starting to change, it would be quite embarrassing if

you voice cracked in the middle of your song while you are on the stage. Last but not

least, the 7th years will be helping Jamie and myself during the auditions to help decide

who stays to sing or who goes to sit in the audience. The auditions will be tomorrow from

9am-12pm then 3 pm- 5:30pm in the great hall and the contest will be after dinner on

Sunday. At the end of dinner tonight there will be a sign up table set up outside door of

the great hall. You may also sign up tomorrow morning but we will need to know by 7:30

because at 8 the list of who will audition at what time will appear on your notice board.

There will be a sheet posed on the notice board in you common rooms that will tell you

what songs you have to choose from for Sunday night but these are not the song you will

sing at the audition. I think that is it. Right Professor?"

"Almost everything, you will also have the ability to do groups and not only solos. So

you may move amongst yourselves and disuse what you will do." And at that, the great

hall became unusually noise again. Ten minutes later Dumbledore dismissed Cho and

Jaime to set up the sign up table and everyone else except the 5th and 6th, which had to

wait 10 more minute. At last as they where realest, most signed up at once.

*******************************Saturday night at dinner*********************

Everyone sat at dinner that night with more nerves then anyone thought possible. All eyes

where fixed upon Dumbledor to see whether or not he had finished eating yet. Even Ron

was eating in a more subdued fashion the n was normal for him. When the last crumbs of

tart where gone from Dumbledor's plate everyone held his or her breath while he finally

rose from his set and began to speak.

"The scores have been tallied and the finalist will be posted in your Common room.

However, before you are dismissed here are the rules for this contest. You my may what

ever you wish but it must be covering. Points cannot be taken away from houses unless I

can agree to the reason. You my not change the sound or quality of your voice magically

performance. I think that is it. You are all dismissed except those who signed up."

Everyone else left like bats out of hell until all who remand where the majority of the 5th

and 6th years. "You are now dismissed." Every last person made it up to there common

rooms in less then 60 seconds amd this is what they Found:
