DISCLAIMERS: I do not own HP, nor do I own any of the characters belonging to J.K. Rowling, etc. Any similarities to any real people or places is purely coincidental, except the similarities between Mera and myself. Even Zach's name is a coincidence, I just thought Zachary Taylor sounded like a nice name, I had totally forgotten that there was a President by that name.

Oh, and you can't sue me because I'm not making any money off this, and you don't really know who I am anyways. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Over Easter vacation, there was a songwriting contest for the First Years. Dumbledore loved music, said it was more magic than anything taught at Hogwarts. Maybe he was right.

The Chaos Club got together to compose a song. We decided we wanted our song to be controversial. Here is what we came up with:

I see beauty in destruction.

I know hope comes from despair.

Error is the best instruction.

I know life is ALWAYS fair!

'Cause I'm from Chaos,

And that's where I'm taught;

'Cause I'm from Chaos,

I'll never be caught,

I'll always have hope in my heart!

I know war is necessary.

Peace leads only to more death.

I know I can never tarry.

Time's as precious as my breath,

'Cause I'm from Chaos,

And that's where I'm taught;

'Cause I'm from Chaos, I'll never be caught,

I'll always be ready to learn!

Rumor always has truth in it,

For it's often based on truth.

I'll always have to wait "just a minute";

I learned all this in my youth,

'Cause I'm from Chaos,

And that's where I'm taught;

'Cause I'm from Chaos,

I'll never be caught,

Even when from my homeland I part!

I want to hear golden silence.

Stronger than hate is pure love.

Protest only with non-violence.

I choose all of the above!

'Cause I'm from Chaos,

And that's where I'm taught;

'Cause I'm from Chaos,

I'll never be caught,

I'll always have somewhere to turn!

Our song won the contest. The prize was supposed to be twenty points awarded to the winner's House, so each House got five points and we all got a good laugh.

Dumbledore was there, of course, but in the excitement of the contest we had completely forgotten our suspicions about Moody.
