Chapter 8: The End of Round 1 and a Big Surprise

"....Harry Potter singing Up!" announced Dumbledore.

Harry walked out wearing regular school clothes, that were charmed to be sparkly, (A/N: I have an unhealthy obsession with sparkles) and looked like he would rather be ANYWHERE else.

"It's 'bout as bad as it could be

Seems everybody's buggin' me

Like nothing wants to go my way -

yeah, it just ain't been my day

Nothin's commin' easily"

"Well, Harry doesn't sound like he isn't having a very good day!" said Ron. Hermione smacked him upside his head, Harry told her to take over for him while he was singing.

"Even my skin is acting weird

I wish that I could grow a beard

Then I could cover up my spots -

not play connect the dots

I just wanna disappear

Up - up - up -

Can only go up from here

Up - up - up - Up

where the clouds gonna clear

Up - up - up -

There's no way but up from here"

A couple of people close to the stage could've swore they heard him mutter "yeah right" under his breath. He continued to sing (totally without enthusiasm)..

"Even something as simple as

Forgettin' to fill up on gas

There ain't no explanation why -

things like that can make you cry

Just gotta learn to have a laugh"

"Ha ha! He said 'Cry'!" said Malfoy. Hermione smacked him upside his head, she's getting good at that.

"Up - up - up -

Can only go up from here

Up - up - up - Up

where the clouds gonna clear

Up - up - up -

There's no way but up from here

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah...

When everything is goin' wrong

Don't worry, it won't last for long

Yeah, it's all gonna come around

Don't go let it get you down

You gotta keep on holding on

It's 'bout as bad as it could be

Seems everybody's buggin' me

Like nothing wants to go my way -

yeah, it just ain't been my day

Nothin's commin' easily

Up - up - up -

Can only go up from here

Up - up - up - Up

where the clouds gonna clear

Up - up - up -

There's no way but up from here

Oh - I'm going up (4x)

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah..."

Harry finished, still with that look that says "I would rather be ANYWHERE but here" while he waited for the judge's comments, when he really couldn't care less.

McGonagall: Well you, um, tried and that's all that matters! I give you a 4 for effort!

Snape: Hate it, hate you, 1!

Dumbledore: Dog! You could at least PRETEND like you're trying! I give you a 3, leaving you with a total 8! Ouch, dog!

Harry shrugged, waked offstage and said to Hermione, "Don't give me any of that sing-a-happy-song-to-make-you-feel-better junk ever again!"

"I was just trying to help....." said Hermione.

"HELP?! NO ONE UNDERSTANDS ME!!!!" he shouted running out of the hall.

"Oookay, now on to the last performance...." Dumbledore started. The Hall burst out in cheers, "Of the round!" The cheers died, now they rest next to Harry's Hope.

"The last singer will be......"

NAH!!

"...Ron Weasly!"

The unseen Ron replied "Fred and George are gonna perform with me, 'kay?"

"Whatever The Rules are really vague anyway!" replied Dumbledore.

Then, duh duh duh DUM, Ron, Fred, and George walked out wearing matching red sparkly (A/N: There I go with the sparkles again) dresses with poofy sleeves and ruffles at the end of the skirt. They were also wearing matching blond curly wigs, with sparkles! (A/N: I'm gonna do this song the same way I do the judge's comments)

Ron: I'm going out tonight-I'm feelin' alright

Gonna let it all hang out

At this point Ginny was banging her head on the table saying, "Why? Why?......"

Fred: Wanna make some noise-really raise my voice

Yeah, I wanna scream and shout

George: No inhibitions-make no conditions

Get a little outta line

Ron: I ain't gonna act politically correct

I only wanna have a good time

Ginny was starting to edge toward the door.

Twins: The best thing about being a woman

Is the prerogative to have a little fun and...

All: Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy-forget I'm a lady

Men's shirts-short skirts

Oh, oh, oh, really go wild-yeah, doin' it in style

Oh, oh, oh, get in the action-feel the attraction

Color my hair-do what I dare

Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free-yeah, to feel the way I feel

Man! I feel like a woman!

Now even the strongest couldn't hold in their laughter, except Snape, who is physically unable to laugh.

Ron: The girls need a break-tonight we're gonna take

The chance to get out on the town

Twins: We don't need romance-we only wanna dance

We're gonna let our hair hang down

With this, the three threw their wigs into the crowd, by chance (and good aim) Fred's wig landed right on Snape's head, causing the crowd to laugh harder, if possible.

Ron: The best thing about being a woman

Is the prerogative to have a little fun and...

All: Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy-forget I'm a lady

Men's shirts-short skirts

Oh, oh, oh, really go wild-yeah, doin' it in style

Oh, oh, oh, get in the action-feel the attraction

Color my hair-do what I dare

Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free-yeah, to feel the way I feel

Man! I feel like a woman!

Twins: The best thing about being a woman

Is the prerogative to have a little fun and...

All: Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy-forget I'm a lady

Men's shirts-short skirts

Oh, oh, oh, really go wild-yeah, doin' it in style

Oh, oh, oh, get in the action-feel the attraction

Color my hair-do what I dare

Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free-yeah, to feel the way I feel

Man! I feel like a woman!

Ron: I get totally crazy

Can you feel it

Come, come, come on baby

All: I feel like a woman

The Hall burst out in applause added to the laughter.

Snape: 1. (he was VERY angry and had already taken the wig off and set it on fire)

McGonagall: I must admit it was funny, but this is not supposed to be a comedy contest so I give it a 7.

Dumbledore: laugh 10 laugh (when he is finally able to control his laughter.) So that gives you 18 points, dog!

Ron and the twins walk off stage barely controlling their own laughter.

"That is it for today, so we shall have dinner and then you may go back to your Common Rooms!" announced Dumbledore.

A/N: Sorry that took FOREVER to write! I'll start on the next chapter right away!
