I have really nothing to say...except that I decided to put all of the singing and the name of the person singing in bold...other than that, just, REVIEW!

Chapter 16

After Transfiguration, The Odds went to lunch together, and Bita decided to sit at the Gryffindor table with Rachelle and Tiffany. They ate and talked happily, reliving the fun they'd had so far, thanks to the Cantamos potion.

"Hey, there's Matt, why don't you go ask him if-," Tiffany began, looking down the table.

"What? Where?" Rachelle asked, looking in the direction Tiffany was looking in.

"NO! Never mind! Look, elephant!" Tiffany said quickly, pointing in the opposite direction from where Matt was sitting.

"WHERE?" Rachelle asked again, more excitedly.

"Oh…never mind…it was just Jessica," said Tiffany casually.Jessica was a Slytherin, one of their worst enemies.

"HOW DARE YOU CONFUSE HER WITH AN ELEPHANT?" Rachelle asked angrily.

"Sorry, it won't happen again, I promise," said Tiffany.

"Ok," said Rachelle.

"Oooh, look at Matt!" said Bita.

"DAMN IT BITA!" Tiffany said. "From now on, you're sitting at the Hufflepuff table."

A look of excitement came over Bita's face as she asked, "CAN THE LEMONS COME TOO?"

"They…are…D-E-A-D!" said Tiffany hysterically.

"WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME?" Bita asked as she began to sob uncontrollably.

Rachelle stared down the table at Matt, who was sitting next to a very pretty, very giggly blonde girl.

"Maybe she's his cousin or something…" Tiffany suggested.

"Yeah…" said Rachelle slowly. She continued to watch them until the end of lunch, when Matt and the girl stood and left together, his arm around her shoulder.

"Maybe they're really close cousins," said Tiffany.

"Mmhmm…" said Rachelle.

"Come on, he wouldn't have been so nice to you if he had another girlfriend," said Tiffany, trying to sound logical.

But Rachelle wasn't listening. She stood, picked up her bag, motioned Tiffany and Bita to follow her to their next class, Care of Magical Creatures, as the background music for Ironic by Alanis Morissette started playing from nowhere.

Rachelle:

An old man turned ninety-eight

He won the lottery

And died the next day

It's a black fly

In your chardonnay

It's a death row pardon

Two minutes too late

Isn't it ironic…don't you think?

It's like rain on your wedding day

It's a free ride when you've already paid

It's the good advice that you just didn't take

And who would've thought…it figures

Mr. Play It Safe

Was afraid to fly

He packed his suitcase

And kissed his kids goodbye

He waited his whole damn life

To take that flight

And as the plane crashed down

He thought… "Well, isn't this nice?"

And isn't it ironic…don't you think?

It's like rain on your wedding day

It's the free ride when you've already paid

It's the good advice that you just didn't take

And who would've thought…it figures

Well life has a funny way

Of sneaking up on you

When you think everything's ok

And everything's going right

And life has a funny way

Of helping you out

When you think everything's gone wrong

And everything blows up in your face

The Odds reached a particularly packed hallway, and people turned around to look at Rachelle as she continued singing.

Rachelle:

A traffic jam

When you're already late

A no smoking sign

On your cigarette break

It's like ten thousand spoons

When all you need is a knife

It's meeting the man of my dreams

And then meeting his beautiful wife…

And isn't it ironic…don't you think?

A little too ironic…

And yeah, I really do think

It's like rain on your wedding day

It's the free ride when you've already paid

It's the good advice that you just didn't take

And who would've thought…it figures

And yeah, well, life has a funny way

Of sneaking up on you

And life has a funny, funny way

Of helping you out

Helping you…out

They finally reached the school grounds for Care of Magical Creatures as Rachelle finished singing her song.
