Chicago... The Harry Potter Way

Chapter 3: When You're Good to Minnie (When You're Good to Mama)

Music filled the air for the third time that evening. "Oh, great," Ron muttered. "Another song."

"Ah, it is finally my turn!" McGonagall said, with a mischievous little grin. Her green eyes sparkled as she undid the tiny clasp that always held her tight bun in place. Long, wavy coffee-colored locks fell past her shoulders. Harry, who had just entered the hall, and Ron's mouths dropped open. Hermione, who had come in with Harry, was watching with narrowed eyes. Ginny had on a skeptical expression.

MCGONAGALL
Ask any of the students in my school
They'll tell you I'm the teacher who rules
I love 'em all and all of them love me
Because the system works
The system called reciprocity…

Got a little motto
Always sees me through
When you're good to Minnie
Minnie's good to you.

There's a lot of favors
I'm prepared to do
You do one for Minnie
She'll do one for you.

They say that life is tit for tat
And that's the way I live
So, I deserve a lot of tat
For what I've got to give
Don't you know that this wand
Jinxes that one too
When you're good to Minnie
Minnie's good to you!

If you want my help with
Escaping trouble
If you help Minnie
That will take its toll

When they pass that goblet
Folks contribute to
You put in for Minnie
She'll might just help you

The folks who do me favors
Are the ones I won't ignore
So do me a little favor, kid
And I'll give back some more

Let's all charm together
Like in Flitwick's classroom
When you're charmin' Minnie
Minnie's charmin' you

So what's the one conclusion
I can bring this number to?
When you're good to Minnie
Minnie's good to you!

Throughout the song, McGonagall had been doing some wild dance moves that were actually… impressive. None of the students had known she could dance like that!

"That was…" Harry began, still eyeing the Headmistress with awe.

"Surprisingly slutty," Ginny finished for him, looking miffed. "I could've pulled that off, but I wouldn't. I'm not that promiscuous."

"You're skanky enough to go off all summer behind your boyfriend's back and snog some guy, who just happens to be an evil Slytherin working for Voldemort! Need I say more?"

"Excuse me!" Ginny cried indignantly. They argued on for a few minutes. McGonagall was busy wrestling her hair back into its usual stiff bun on the back of her head. Her mouth was once again a thin line. Hermione and Ron were simply rolling their eyes at the quarrelling pair.

Finally, McGonagall's hair was back to its typical state and she was looking wary. "Mr. Potter, Miss Weasley, please stop!" She said, irritated. However, no one could hear her because the couple was disputing so loudly. "Stop!" She commanded. The hall fell silent.

Everyone turned to stare at the professor but no one said a word. At last, Ginny shrieked, "What?"

"Aren't you all wondering what favor you can do for me? Miss Weasley here can escape Azkaban if you do a favor, and possibly a small punishment for me. Wasn't that clear? Did I not just state that?" McGonagall inquired, fuming.

"I was too busy noticing how hot she actually is!" Ron whispered out of the corner of his mouth to Harry. Harry nodded in response.

"I heard that, you know!" McGonagall said. She appeared angry, though she was blushing.

Hermione, always mature and cool-headed, decided to end this nonsense. "Okay, okay! What do we have to do for you, Professor?"

Author's Note: Hey! First of all, thank you to my reviewers: Georgeluver92, linziiC, and graffiti rtk. You don't know how happy I am to see a few reviews in my inbox! Hope you liked this chapter! If you have any ideas for what kind of favor they could do for McGonagall, please tell me. I have a few ideas, but I'm not really sure about them so I'd like some suggestions. I think I'm going to have a lot of fun with the next chapter, which is, of course, the Cell Block Tango. So please please please send in reviews and ideas! Thank you!

Also, I'm planning on writing an LE/JP fic. You know, the typical love/hate story but with a few of my own twists! However, I don't have a lot of original ideas. If you have some and wouldn't mind sharing them, could you email me please? I wouldn't even mind, like, having a co-author or whatever (you know, like, writing a fic with someone else?). So, yeah, just email me! Thanks 
