Authors note: Well FINALLY here it is, good god!! After more than a year, Part 9 of the Hogwarts Singing Duels! Sorry it took so freakin' long, I've been in school and have had a lot of personal issues to deal with and still kinda do, so be very patient with me please I managed to get this part done today since I'm not in school or anything....so cya!! (By the way if you have suggestions for any songs once again, let me know on the review board, thanks!).
The next one is a parody of Evanescence "Everybody's Fool" and it is titled "Life Isn't Fair" and it is done by Professor Snape. No profit is being made with this.
Part 9
Stepping through the Great Hall doors, the author sighs "My god, so long, I've been away for so long. Walking in she sees Professor Dumbledore and quickly approached him. Professor Dumbledore! oh my god, it is so good to see you again!"
Dumbledore turns and smiles "Good afternoon, child, I never thought I would see you again. And might I say, so changed as you are now".
Author smiles shyly "Well life will do that to you...I left with Professor Snape as the next duelist...is he prepared? or did he just completely ignore me?" author pauses "Though I wouldn't blame him because I really never did come back to continue".
The professor shakes his head "Of course not, he is prepared...I always had the feeling that you would return...and now you're here....everyone will be pleased".
Author grins "I hope..."
About an hour later, the Great Hall was packed with students, as classes were let out earlier for this impromptu event. The author spotting the trio quickly ran over to them.
"Hey! oh my god, you three have changed so much!".
Hermione and author hug, before shaking Harry and Ron's hands and giving them a hug as well.
Ron shook his head "I never thought we'd see you again"
"Well here I am".
"It's great that you came back, I was looking forward to seeing Snape sing in the duels...that ought to be quite a sight!" . Hermione laughed.
"I'm hoping my arrival won't come as a shock".
Harry grinned and laughed nervously "If anything, Snape will probably want to assign double work for us just because of it"
The author shook her head "I don't think he will, with Dumbledore observing the duel and all...I don't believe Snape would really think of suddenly throwing all this work at you.
The trio nodded.
"Why don't we go take a seat?" Harry offered.
"Let's go" Ron replied. "I don't think I'd miss this duel for the world".
Walking over, the trio took a seat, all except the author who remained standing as she looked around.
"What? what is it?" Hermione asked curiously.
Author looked at her then around the Great Hall "Um, I assume Draco hasn't been expelled has he?"
Ron shook his head "Don't I wish, no, he hasn't...god, I wish he had he sighed With the news that youOre here he'll probably show up with his lackey's again...god knows he thinks that he's royalty or something".
Author smirked "Tell me about it, I'm going up to announce...I'll be back shortly".
"See you later" Harry says.
"Alright, see you then"
The author walked over to a podium that was set up and checked to see if everything was set, "Everything seems in order". she murmured as she kneeled down to get her wand from her messenger bag.
A presence beside her however made her look up to find Draco looking at her, a sneer on his face as he eyed her. "Well, I see the foreigner decided to come back to Hogwarts"
The author stood, realizing that Draco had grown quite a bit and his voice was much deeper than before. "My god what a difference a year makes" the author thought "Even his hair has changed". It had a more ruffled look to it, all in all he had gotten to being quite handsome.
"Malfoy" the author replied "Yes, I did decide to come back...I couldn't very well leave the duels hanging the way I did".
"I hope you're prepared for Slytherin to win".
The author smiled kindly "Whoever wins is up to who volunteers...so tell your fellow Slytherin's to start doing so".
"You're looks are the only thing that has changed, you do know that?" he smirked "Your ridiculous patronizing hasn't".
The author glared "Oh is that so? well your looks are the only thing that have changed as well...your incredibly big ego however hasn't changed one bit, that and your ability to annoy the hell out of people" the author smiled sourly "Now, I have to announce the next duelist...so just remember that volunteering is what counts...not sheer arrogance".
He scowled "We'll see...". And with that he turned and walked back to the Slytherin table.
Author takes a deep breath, thinking "Handsome, but with an ego that is bigger than the world itself". Looking up she smiled then and tapped her wand "Sonorous"....before announcing. "Hello everyone! It' great to see all of you again, how are you?!"
Everyone cheered.
"Great! It's good to see that you're all well...I know it has taken me awhile to come back, but I promise that I will be here more often than before so we can get the duels running at full force! So is everyone ready!".
Cheers emanated from the hall, as the students cheered.
"Alright! so we left off with Professor Snape as the next duelist, and the score of 150 Gryffindor to 80 for Slytherin...now come on Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff...we need volunteers from your houses too! don't make me start picking people!".
Just then the great hall doors slam open, catching the attention of everyone in the hall.
"I seriously have to make it a rule, not to do that!" the author thinks. "Geez"
Almost gliding in it seemed, was Professor Snape. Dressed in his trademark black, billowing cape behind him as he stormed towards the author who had realized the hall had gone silent.
"I am not your personal toy, you little foreign brat...I will not tolerate you trying to control what I will or will not do...do you understand me?". he hissed.
Author gulped as she nervously spoke "Yes, sir...but I do believe that Dumbledore agreed to this arrangement and he said it would be alright for you to do the duel...after all, I am only a guest...so etiquette states that you must 'entertain' the guest" catching his darkening gaze "But I could be wrong"
"Severus--".
The author and Professor Snape look back to find Dumbledore and the other teachers eyeing him with looks of 'What Do you Think YouOre Doing?'.
"Albus, I cannot believe that you would agree to..."
Dumbledore frowned "Severus I gave you time to prepare for this and told you that after that you could come back with the results for us". he signalled him to stand in the stage area. "I do hope you will not disappoint us, or our guest for that matter".
Snape gave the author a piercing look before walking over an waiting for the cue.
Author turns to the students, her smile back "Without further adieu, I give you, Professor Snape!".
Slytherin table cheers as the other tables look on silently. The hall goes dark the only light coming from the sunset, giving the hall a dim but beautiful look to it.
The author quickly takes a seat between Ron and Oliver who smiles at her, making her blush. The music catches all their attentions however as it begins, and Professor Snape appears, shrouded in the shadows as the suns rays illuminate the rest of the area, with shades of gold, red orange, and violet .
With one last glare at the author, he starts:
"Life Isn't Fair"
Oppressive by nature
I come from darker nightmares
It's just what Potter needs [Harry looks taken aback]
Les-sons about a world that
Isn't fair and never will be
I don't care what you think of me
You think that you can break all the rules [Draco smirks at the trio as they look at one another uneasily]
Look there he comes now
Potter and all his followers [Gryffindor table has gone a bit red at this]
Oh how they love you [Harry looks down to avoid the stares]
The Boy Who Lived, is there no ending?
but now I know life
Isn't fair and never will be [Ron: The slimy git, I can't believe he-]
I don't care what you think of me
You think that you can break all the rules
While in my class where will you hide? [Harry glares at Snape]
Just like your father, lost in your pride [Harry: Don't bring my father into this! He tries to get up only to be stopped by Ron and Seamus]
You know the truth now
I know who you are [Draco and the other Slytherin's are gloating now]
and I can't stand you anymore [Harry: Wait, til I get my hands on you...you lying... Author: Harry....don't say it. Harry sulks]
Life isn't fair and never will be
Fate's a bitch, but why pun-ish me?
All you are is my eternal misery
An immense applause and cheers erupted from the Slytherin table, as he bowed before walking off stage. Harry was trying to be calmed down by his fellow Gryffindor's as the author frowned and walked away to make her announcement.
Author: That was, a rather dark duel....to say the least. So Slytherin gets 20 points
Slytherin table cheers.
Draco runs over to the Author: You can't be serious! You gave Weasley's sister 50 points!
Author: Fine, so you want me to add a few points then? I'll make it 30 instead of 20, I'm not going any higher because I don't want to encourage duelist to practically tear people apart on stage
Draco smirked "Oh please"
Author turns to crowd "So, I know I will probably get beaten for this afterwards...but instead of 20, I'm upping the score to 30 points, that makes the current standing 150 to 110"
Cries of protest can be heard throughout the hall.
The author sighs "This is the ONLY time I will do this any more...ALL duels from now on are going to be 20 points each, 5 points extra for creativity and 5 points if you do a stand out performance....and lets try not to insult on another alright?"
Murmurs can be heard.
"You can earn 30 points...only if you do exceptionally well...how is that?".
Everyone nods and agrees, "Alright then....so who wants to be next?"
Everyone in the Great Hall suddenly looks one another, two hands quickly shoot up from Gryffindor table, much everyone else's relief.
Author looks over "Fred and George Weasley! everyone give them a big round of applause...they're next for the duels!".
Everyone cheers ecstatically as the twins approach the author, "So now that we volunteered, any ideas for songs?". George asked.
Author nods "Actually, I have a few..".she looks through her bag, pulling some sheets of paper out "Look them over and see which ones are to your liking...you don't have to pick one of these though".
Fred ruffles the authors hair playfully "We trust you, now the question would be...do you trust us?"
The author nods "I trust you....good luck".
The twins nod and walk out of the Great Hall to prepare as the author takes her wand and announces "Now that we have that set, I'll be taking a break to go to Hogsmeade, I need sugar...so cya later!"
With that, the author gets on her broom and flies out of Hogwarts and away.
