A Harry Potter Song Contest:

A/N: This is my first fanfic, I hope that you enjoy. This topic has been over done but I think that I have picked some darn good songs.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, any of the Harry Potter characters, or any of the lyrics of the songs otherwise I wouldn't be writing this fanfic!

Chapter 1: The Game

Dumbledore eyed his staff one night during dinner with one of those evil grins that could only mean that he was up to something. He was in fact up to something he started talked to Minerva "So do you think that we should have the contest now and this time involve all of the teachers and students that are willing?" They had played a karaoke game a month back for all of the former Gryffindors that now are professors which included, Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Lupin.

"Albus, how on Earth are we going to get Severus to join? The only way that he could possibly loosen up enough to even try was if he was drunk." Minerva asked. "That is where I am way ahead of you, Minerva, I have already spiked his pumpkin juice, true he probably knows what's in it but I'm sure that he doesn't mind." With that said Minerva looked down at the black-haired potions master and sure enough, he did have a slight glazed expression on his face.

Dumbledore then asked Lupin whether it was a good idea and Lupin quickly agreed seeing Severus' expression. Dumbledore had all of the details worked out within 10 minutes. He then went down the Head Table asking the professors if they would join in a game and the only one who he hadn't asked was Snape. Since all of the other professors had already agreed they helped Dumbledore to convince Snape to join in their game of song. Finally Dumbledore convinced Severus to join after he said something about letting Severus test a poison and antidote on the professor of his choice.

Dumbledore stood up and informed his students of what was to happen, "Students tonight we will be holding a karaoke contest for all students willing, also for all of the students' enjoyment all of the teachers have sportingly agreed to partake in this lovely game. For all of you that want to participate all you have to do is put your name into one of the cauldrons on the end of you house tables, you have 20 minutes to decide and have your name in. There is one twist though, you will not be able to pick your song, the magical microphone will pick it for you do to your own personality traits. Thank you, you have 20 minutes." Dumbledore then sat down as the rest of the Great Hall looked up in amazement.

Down at the Gryffindor table Harry, Ron, and Hermione were dicussing whether they would enter. "I might be somewhat fun, I mean if we entered, how can it be Lupin is going to do it" Harry said while wondering what song he would what the microphone to pick for him. "Fine Harry we'll do it, just because Hogwarts needs some livening up." Hermione said as she put their names into the cauldron. They sat down next to Fred and George who were the first two Gryffindors to put their names in.

Dumbledore then stood up "Thank you but the 20 minutes are up" The cauldrons glided over to Dumbledore. "The student participants for tonight are: Fred Weasley, George Weasley, Lee Jordan, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Lavender Brown, Pavarti Patil, Padma Patil, Cho Chang, Draco Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson, and Justin Finch-Fletchly. Your names will be called at random and this all applies to the professors as well. The professors that will be performing are: Minerva McGonagall, Severus Snape, Remus Lupin, Fillius Flitwick, Rebeus Hagrid, Albus Dumbledore, Stephanie Sprout, and Sybil Trewalney. When you get your name called you will come to the Head Table and stand in front of the microphone where it will pick your song and then the music will start and then the lyrics will show up on the screen in front of you. After everybody has gone then a winner will be chosen by the students. Also as a bonus the top five performances will be required to sing another song as an encore. Our first participant will be..................."
