"I would like to have everyone's attention for a moment please. I am sorry
to disturb you all during your breakfast but me and Miss Tiané have decided
to have a dance in a week, the day after the Monster Ball tournament to
celebrate the victory of which ever team. Dress robes will not be worn. And
would the Head Boy and Head Girl please go to my office after they are
finished eating." Prof. Dumbledore said while he sat back down.
Helios turned sharply to Karrot. "Care to be my date for the dance?"
"Sure, why not?" Karrot giggled.
Ron was currently talking to Minina, most likely asking her, Hermione was having a conversation with Neville, Ginny was talking to Alex, a boy from her year, Thères was talking to Tino and Parvati with Brent. Harry suddenly felt left out.
"Anything wrong?" Karrot asked from his side.
"I don't think that I'm going to have a date for the dance."
"There's still someone that you can ask." She sang.
"Who?" He asked only to be directed to Janey who was making a disgusted face at the porridge. "She'll never say yes."
"Let's find out." Karrot said while leaning over her dish. "Hey Janey, do you wanna go to the Dance with Harry?"
"Sure." Janey called back.
"There you go, now let's go see what Dumbledore wants to tell us."
Harry shrugged and got up and left with Karrot. They came up to the stone gargoyle, and after whispering the password and climbing the staircase, they pushed open a door each and sat in the two comfortable chairs across the desk from the wizen Headmaster. He looked up from his papers that were on his desk.
"Now, as I believe that you two both know that there is a dance coming up; I want you two to open the dance."
"You're not going to make me dance again are you?" Harry asked gloomy.
"No Mr. Potter, I expect you to sing."
"You're kidding." Harry hoped while neglecting the delighted look on Karrot's slightly freckled face.
"No I am not. You may pick what song you will like. It will be a karaoke dance and not a formal one. I would suggest that you two go to Prof. McGonagall's room to practice."
The two walked down the corridor, took a left at the other end of the hall, and went into the second class on the left. All the chairs were pushed aside and a charmed CD player was in the corner.
"Do you have a song that you want to sing?" Karrot asked with a raised eyebrow.
"No, go ahead end pick whichever song you want to listen to."
"I already know what song I want us to sing. You do sing right?"
"No...."
"Then I'll teach you. You're going to be singing once I'm done with you. Now read these lyrics and tell me what you think." Karrot said while giving him a few sheets of parchment.

"Sell it Harry. I'm not going to let you leave this room until you meet my standards." Karrot said from behind McGonagall's desk.
"We were singing for three hours, can't we take a break?"
"Sing the first two verses once more then you can." She said while leaning back.
Harry sighed as he picked up the small microphone. "I can show you the world, shining, shimmering, splendid. Tell me, princess, now when did you last let your heart decide?
"I can open your eyes, take you wonder by wonder; over, sideways and under on a magic carpet ride"
"Better" Karrot commented from her seat. "But there's lots of room for improvement."
"Just because you're a good singer."
Karrot beamed with happiness. "C'mon, it's time for lunch."
The two walked in silence, down the stairs to where their lunch awaited them, when Karrot was stopped by McGonagall. Being told that she would meet up with him, Harry proceeded to the Hall. Two minutes after he sat down, Karrot came tearing into the Hall. She stopped at each table to talk to her teammates before she sat down.
"We get to miss three exams." She said to the Gryffindors on them team.
"You're kidding?" Lavender squealed.
"No. Professor McGonagall just told me. I'm going to miss Potions, Divination, and History of Magic. Oh and Harry, since I told Professor McGonagall that you weren't doing well on the song, she said that you can miss three too. C'mon, let's finish eating so we can try the song again."

A/N: Short Chapter I know, but the next one is going to have the Dance so it'll be long. Don't Worry.
