Disclaimer: J.K. owns Harry Potter; I own the plot, blah, blah, you've heard it before. Need I repeat myself?
A/N: So I guess all you readers of mine probably hate me after the short chapter, but I'm here to make it up to you now, with what I call "showbiz". Go grab some fresh popcorn and sit tight because all the fun's about to start…. now.

Chapter 8: Sing the Song and Sing Along"Hermione! Hermione! Hermione! It's sun-shiny!" My alarm clock sang.
"Hermione! Hermione! Hermione! Watch out- a bee!" A virtual bee flew out of me and zipped back inside the clock.
"Hermione! Hermione! Hermione Granger!" The clock sang such a high note I had to hold the pillow against my ear. The Fat Lady had been trying to reach such a high note since… forever.
"Hermione! Hermione! Hermione Granger!" It reached an even higher note. Oh, my ears! My poor ears!
Malfoy walked in, took one look at the alarm clock and smashed it with his fist. Then, he started to… sing! Bloody Draco Malfoy, prince of Slytherin, was singing! That was so not part of the contract, but I like it. How degrading. I chuckled.
"What the hell does a Slytherin have to do
To not wake up on the wrong side of the bed
Couldn't find my bloody shoe
And now I'm stuck listening to the music of the ugly reds
Bloody Grffindors
They can't even walk straight without hitting a door
Bloody Griffin-"
He was cut off by a zapping sound. Haha, bull's eye. Malfoy groaned and headed downstairs. I just sat there on my bed wondering why on earth Malfoy was singing! I mean, I know I'm being redundant and repeating myself, but he has left me dumbfounded. Whatever it is, I'll find out. Hermione Granger never backs down from a challenge.
Spike was still sleeping on the couch when I found him and I just decided to leave him there. I headed out the door towards the Gryffindor tower to meet up with Harry and Ron.
"Animagus." I said. The Fat Lady opened the portrait door, giving me entrance, but not before saying, "It's a mess in there. Everyone's singing, and most of them can't sing! It's one of Hogwart's worse disasters!"
Before I could say anything back, Neville spun me around and sang,
"Good to see you,Good to see you,
Isn't a beautiful day?
The sky's so blue,
The day's anew,
Everyone's all happy and gay."
Seamus then came up to me and sang,
"For him, there's no end-He's been like as long as I've known.
If you're looking for your friends,
Look for the ones who groan."
At that, he left and I was spun once again by Ginny.
"Oh me, oh my-
I don't know where to start.
Dean can be so shy,
When it comes to do his part.
He asked me to be his girl.
He said I had a beautiful smile
That would light up his world.
I guess this wait's been worth the while.
Oh I said yes, Hermione, I said yes
My life's such a mess,
But I said yes, Hermione.
Oh don't you see?
That love's in the air
All around, playing everywhere.
Here and there
You cannot avoid something so fair."
She started tap-dancing until I threw a pillow at her. Ginny returned to normal and clutched her head. "Oh, it feels like I have a major migraine; I might need a moment to collect myself, Herm." And with that, she collapsed on the couch. Okay… talk about a major mood change.
I found Harry and Ron arguing with each and singing. Could this day get any worse? (A/N: Ron and Harry.)
"Harry, do you honestly think that!You must be as blind as a bat!"
"Ron, you want to know the truth?
I don't give a shit, that's the truth!"
"Well, if you weren't such an asshead,
You would've have noticed that you're toothbrush's red.
The one you were using was blue!
So of course, I give a shit about which one you use!"
"Sorry mate, must be because your lucky streak's run out
Guess you'll act like a baby and cry and shout."
"Well, you're not lucky any more
If you're about to get your ass kicked to Singapore!"
"Boys, boys, boys! I have had enough of your silliness. Now say sorry so we can all go to breakfast! And no one is getting their ass kicked to Singapore, except the next person I hear with a song coming out of their mouth! Now let's go!"
They were dragged outside and for some reason, their singing stopped. We walked down the halls and threw the doors to the Great Hall open. Inside, I saw my worst nightmare. Everyone was singing and dancing! Some were on the tables and others were on the benches or floor, but they were all singing and dancing in harmony, as if it had all been choreographed and they all rehearsed for this together! Except for the teachers of course. Dumbledore seemed rather bemused, but I doubt he would ever pull this off. He wouldn't let classes be disrupted like this.
"Hogwarts, Hogwarts -
welcome to the school of witchcraft and wizardry.
Where the food's great and the classes are fun
There are so many towers and places to pee.
There's no place better than this!
Because there's no place better to piss.
Life's a game-
So many teachers so that..
Then what's a name,
If it's part of that?
But you can't refuse
Something you already knew
So now you know-
Hogwarts's the best place to go.
Hogwarts, Hogwarts -
welcome to the school of witchcraft and wizardry.
Where the food's great and the classes are fun
There are so many towers and places to pee.
There's no place better than this!
Because it's- Hogwarts, Hogwarts
welcome to the school of witchcraft and wizardry.
Where there's magic everywhere
Look around and you'll see
That there's no—
(no, no, no)
That there's no place better than
(No place better than)
No place better than- THIS!" Everyone then fell on their knees and slid across the table or room with their hands in the air.
"Holy crap." Was all the came out of Harry's mouth. I merely nodded. Yes, holy crap.
The bell rang and all the students walked out of the Great Hall as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened and headed for class. Harry, Ron, and I just stood there frozen with our eyes still fixed on the same spots.
"Off to class now; you don't want to be late." McGonagall ordered. She pushed us out and closed behind us the double doors. We still stood there rigid. It wasn't until Headless Nick passed us that we were snapped out of our reveries. Of course, we were late, but was deducted points as there were substitutes. Nevertheless, my mind was to be found nowhere near the subjects discussed during classes today. Strangely enough, Dumbledore and the whole school didn't even address the situation at hand.
It was as if this morning had never even existed.
A/N: Sorry about the short chapter. HS has been keeping me preoccupied. I'll try my best to update quicker and with longer chapters but I can't assure that! AND PLEASE REVIEW...I AM DEPSERATE! I CAN TELL PEOPLE ARE READING BUT NOT REVIEWING! SO PLEASE REVIEW...FOR ME? puppy eyes
