Authors note: Well here it is, good freakin god!! At long last, Part 8 of
the Hogwarts Singing Duels! Sorry it took so damn long, I've been in school
so I've been drowning under a lot of schoolwork and still am to be honest,
so be very patient with me please ^_^ I managed to get this part done today
since I'm not in school or at work....so cya!! (By the way if you guys have
suggestions for any songs again, let me know on the review board, thanks!).
The next one is a parody of Shakira's "Objection (Tango)" and it is titled "Rejection (Fiasco)". No profit is being made with this stuff. ^_^
Part 8 Author steps through the Hogwarts entrance, smiling: Hello everyone, after a very long vacation and all....I just have to say....phew! So, alright I'm back...finally! geez I've been so busy in the states with school and my job and all that I haven't even had time to come back to Hogwarts for the rest of the singing duels!
Ron walks up with a bright smile: Well now you're here....so where do we begin?
Author smiles: I thought you didn't like doing this singing duel stuff, Ron.
Ron looks at her in mock shock, then he shakes his head: Well, I've been thinking it over and I actually do like them quite a bit. Nice job, by the way on the haircut.
Author blushes: Thanks. Well, lets see. * shuffles papers about* the score is Gryffindor's 100 to Slytherin's at 80. Cedric has some writer's block for his song so I received an owl from Ginny asking if she could be next, so I let her.
Ron looks stunned: Ginny? in the singing duel?
Author arches an eyebrow: Ya, why not?
Harry and Hermione suddenly walked up with there school books in hand saving Ron his answer.
Harry asked: Did I hear correctly? Ginny is the next person to sing in the singing duel?
Hermione beams: That's wonderful! I wonder what song she's going to be doing. I bet you it'll be something sweet, along the lines of Michelle Branch or someone like that.
Both Ron and Harry: Who?
Author and Hermione, roll there eyes: Nevermind.
Everyone was just arriving at the Great Hall for dinner, so there was a lot of pushing and shoving going on before everyone finally got settled into their seats. All except for one person.
Author looks around and then asks uneasily: Um oh no, the last time I left, Draco was in a fit of laughter due to a spell I hit him with and then I left and never came back to try and fix it since then!! where's Draco? *freaking out suddenly* oh my god, did he die?!!!
Ron shakes his head and sighs: Don't I wish
Hermione looks at him in horror as she gasps: Ron!! how can you possibly say that?! * she then looks at the author* Professor Snape had him sent to St Mungos for a while and then he returned a few weeks ago. It was a pretty difficult spell to break but they finally managed to break it.
Author sighs: Thank god. That would have been horrible had something happened to him.
Ron: Are you kidding? that would have been the best to happen in a long time! *Hermione glares* alright, I'll be quiet.
Author's eyes go wide: Good thing you chose to be, Professor Snape is coming this way too.
The trio and Author slowly look towards the incoming dark caped professor who had the look of a trained assassin spread across his face. For each step he took, we took two back.
Snape: You! you're just the person I've been looking forward to see all this time.
Author nervously: Me? but why? I have done nothing wrong.
Snape: Is that so? I could have you expelled from Hogwarts grounds for what you pulled off the last time you were here.
Author: That was just a joke, professor. That's all, really! I swear!
Snape sneers.
Suddenly though all the lights flash off, and all one can see is the night sky above through the enchanted ceiling. There's a murmur going on in the crowd. Author: This would be the time to book it to the mike. *runs*
A spotlight appears on the author, directing the attention to her: Hey everyone! Long time no see, I'm sure you know what time it is now again! Now that all of you have had a break from me and vice versa, it's time to get dueling!
Everyone suddenly cheers. Author: Whoa, I didn't expect that! cool, now we'll be having more volunteers then! Unfortunately I'm sure you've heard that Cedric has a very bad case of writer's block...so he won't be singing tonight girls.
Girls can be heard crying and sadly saying: Ooooooo maaaaaaan
Author: Not to worry though, we do have a volunteer for the next one to take his place...from Gryffindor... it'll be Ginny Weasley!
Percy suddenly walks up to the author: How did you ever get her into this?!
Author: I didn't, she volunteered on her own.
Percy: Wait til the ministry hears about the way you trick people. * Author looks at him in shock* I'm sure you're dabbling into the Dark Arts to get people to do what you tell them to.
Author shakes her head: Percy it's all voluntary really, no one is FORCED to do anything.
Percy: Oh is that so? I've got my eye on you, you just watch...I'll eventually catch you doing something.
Author sighs: Go sit down.
Percy: Is that all you have to say?
Author: Yes that is all, so just go sit down.
Percy shrugs: Okay * walks away and takes a seat at Gryffindor table*
Author sighs and pulls out her wand to look at it with a playful smile, saying softly: Did I force him to go sit down? I think not! * looks back at the audience who has grown very silent since Percy had walked up to the author* OH! So as I was saying, before I was interrupted and all...Ginny Weasley! Let's have a big round of applause! * runs of the stage*
The Great Hall goes pitch black again as the students and professors applause.
Spanish tango music can be heard playing and suddenly everyone saw a ghostly couple dancing in the darkness to the rhythm of the hypnotic music. Just as it, it is about to pause. There is a great blast of electronic guitar, piano, accordion, regular guitar and violin.
And Ginny appears dressed in a short (but not too short!!) black skirt, knee high,tight black leather boots, and a v neck sleeveless blouse and a black choker. Looking a total rock star.
Rejection (Fiasco) It's not her fault that she's oh so beautiful [She points at Cho, a spotlight lands on her and she tries to duck down] But all the jealousy caused is so painful Every thirty seconds you say her name [points at Harry who looks shocked] But when it comes to mine you don't care! [Ron: Ginny!!!] If I'm alive or dead, it such a
Chorus: Rejection! I don't want to be an exception To get a bit of your attention My love is for free and I'm not asking for much But you don't get the hunch [Draco suddenly appears and smirks: That's Potter for you! Harry glares at him.] Rejection I'm tired of this fiasco Got dizzy trying quidditch I'm falling apart at the seams again Rescue me, You've got to rescue me!
Next to her cheap looks and all I look very small [ Cho: My looks aren't cheap! what the hell is that about?!] That's why in front of your eyes I'm nothing at all [Harry shakes his head, groaning and looking frustratingly tired] But you've got to know other girls do count You better get yourself off of your cloud And see what I'm about, so [Everyone: Ooooooooo]
Chorus (with a slight change) Rejection! I don't want to be an exception To get a bit of your attention [Harry looks sickly green: First the Valentine....now this] My love is for free and I'm not asking for much But you don't get the hunch [Draco: I'll go out with you Ginny! pick me! Ron looks murderous: Malfoy!] Rejection! Got caught in the tangle of this fiasco Got caught up inside your eyes [Hermione sighs: I like your eyes too Harry Harry looks away: Ohhhh noooo] I'm falling apart at the seams again No way, no no no noooo.
I wish there was a chance for You and I [Harry gulps] I wish you could find us A place up high Away from here....(she smirks: alone) [George, Fred, Percy, and Ron angrily: What the--? Ginny!!]
This may sound [Ginny rolls her eyes and walks down the steps and to the middle of the Great Hall towards Harry] So obsessive Full of fury And psychotic Should I worry? Harry rescued me From a diary [Harry nods as he backs up: At least she remembers that] So I can try to Be grateful [Harry: Thank you] Or sing in a duel [Harry nods: That would be nice] But I still love you Harry [Ron runs to Harry saying: Oh no] I still love you Harry! [Ron grabs Harry, and drags him out of Ginny's way as Harry shouts in shock: What?!!]
Suddenly Ginny jumps onto the Gryffindor table, takes out an electric guitar out of nowhere and starts playing it like a professional. Percy suddenly faints at this sight as Ron, Harry, Hermione, the author, and everyone else look on in silent surprise.
Chorus: Rejection! I don't want to be an exception To get a bit of your attention My love is for free and I'm not asking for much [Cho:Take him already!you can keep him! Harry looks at her: Since when do you own me!] But you don't get the hunch Rejection I'm tired of this fiasco [Draco: I'll take you to the Yuletide Ball, Ginny! Ron gets up: Over my dead body!] Got dizzy trying quidditch I'm falling apart at the seams again No way You've got to rescue me! [Harry walks over and swiftly grabs Draco and shoves him towards the stage: You're the hero now]
Rescue me Rescue me Ya! Ya! Ya! Rescue meeeee! oh yaaaaaa oh yaaaa oh yaaaaa [Draco: No, you do it! Harry: Why do I always have to do it?] oh yaaaaaa oh yaaaa oh yaaaaa [Draco: Because you''re the hero and I'm a villain Harry: Then trade places with me!] I'm falling apart at the seams again Help meeeeee! [Percy sits up with a furious look on his face: Wait til mum hears about this!] I'm falling apart at the seams again Rescue me!! Rescue me!!!
An immense applause and cheers erupted from the crowd as Ginny looked on with a bright smile on her face, as she bowed and waved to everyone happily before running off stage. Percy was trying to be calmed down by George and Fred, as Ron was just stunned with a look of sheer amazement on his face.
Author: My god!!! That was, just, just....so....I mean, beyond....terrific, amazing, shockingly....--
Harry: Great?
Author whirls around and says ecstatically: Yeah!! That's it! Great! It was great! It was fantastic! Damn! Ginny rocks!!
Harry blushes: At my expense.
Author: It's okay Harry, at least your house gets points! It was so cool I plan on giving your house fifty points!!
Gryffindor table cheers happily.
Draco runs over to the Author, glaring daggers: What?!! that makes the score 150 to 80! You can't be serious!
Author: Draco, your house needs to start particpating then. That's the only way to get points.
Draco smirks: What about Voldemort?
Author sneers catching Draco off guard: The Ministry has protection for me now, since I am a foreigner after all...heh heh heh heh. I'm immune to Voldemort's charms....so HA!!
Draco becomes tense: Fine! So if you want someone from Slytherin, then, why don't you pick?
Author smirks and takes out her wand, reciting the spell for a loud announcement: Good idea, Draco....So who better than the Head of Slytherin, I pick Professor Severus Snape to be next in the duels!
Everyone in the Great Hall suddenly looks at Professor Snape who is sitting at his usual spot and who has become paler than normal.
Professor Dumbledore looks to him and gives him a triumphant smile: Severus I believe the young girl has commanded that you sing for us all.
Snape in confusion turned to him:Professor, you can't possibly be seri-
Dumbledore: She is a guest, Severus...you are excused from teaching for the time being. Go on, choose a song and then come back with the results for us.
Snape glares at the Author who smiles innocently. Without another word, Professor Snape stood and with one last dark look torwards the author, turned and with a sweep of his long cape left through the door behind the teacher's table. The door slamming behind him ominously.
Author turns to the students: Well, um, there you have it! Professor Snape is next...and the score is 150 to 80. I'm off for some much needed shut eye...buh bye now! * apparates*
