The welcoming feast was as wonderful as always. The pumpkin juice, on the other hand, tasted a little strange and was a neon greenish color. Now, everyone was in their respected house. Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, and I were sitting by the fire when......Ginny started to sing. (AN: I've changed some of the words around in the song.) "There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the tower and the dorms in Gryffindor too."
She and Hermione stood and sang together, "And up on the wall an absurd little bird is popping out to say coo-coo. Coo-coo."
While the two of them sang "Coo-coo." I stood and began, "Regretfully they tell us, but firmly the compel us to say goodbye." Then we three looked at Harry and Ron, "to you."
The boys stood and began to sing with us, "So long, farewell, auf wiedersehn, goodnight! I hate to go and leave this pretty sight."
Then we separated into parts, girls first and then boys. "So long."
"So long."
"Farewell."
"Farewell."
Then we joined together again, "Auf wiedersehn, adieu."
"Adieu."
"Adieu."
"Adieu."
We joined together, "To yieu and yieu and yieu."
We separated, "So long."
"So long."
"Farewell."
"Farewell."
We joined together, "Auf wiedersehn good-bye. I leave and heave a sigh and say good-bye."
We began to make our way upstairs slowly and slowed down the pace, "The sun has gone to bed and so must I. So long, farewell, auf wiedersehn, good-bye." Ginny, Hermione, and I changed into our pjs and lay in our beds, "Good-bye."
Trinity: For those of you who don't know, this song is called So Long, Farewell from the musical The Sound of Music. Obviously, I don't on it. Along with anything else you recognize.
