Title: Circle Of Life

Summary: Dumbledore tries to enlighten the students with a speech during lunch.

Dumbledore watched as the students settled into the house tables for lunch. Most were talking excitedly about the songs they sang during the classes, but a few looked a little put off by the whole thing happening again. Not to mention the vicious look Snape was throwing everyone who even thought about breaking into song. Albus felt the spell rise within in him and stood.

"Students, I'm sure that by now you realize that Hogwarts has been experiencing recent song epidemics. I'm sure it will all be over soon, so for now enjoy the lovely voices of your peers because..." Dumbledore trailed off when he heard the start of another song. Snape groaned and his goblet was thrown across the room.

"From the day we arrive on this planet and blinking, step into the sun. There's more to see than can ever be seen." Surprisingly, it was McGonagall who began singing this song.

"More to do than can ever be done." Trelawney picked up, for once she was making sense.

"There is far too much to take in here, more to find than can ever be found." An unwilling Snape sang.

"But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky, keeps great and small on the endless round." The clear, crisp voice of the charms teacher rolled over the hall. The students sat quietly as they watched their professors sing with somewhat decent voices.

"It's the circle of life and it moves us all, through despair and hope, through faith and love." Dumbledore joined in with the staff table and turned sad eyes onto Neville and Harry, thinking of their parents. Everyone was sure that this would just be a song sung by the teachers, so they it was unexpected when Draco Malfoy started up. His soft, yet strong voice rang out.

"Till we find our place on the path unwinding, in the circle. The circle of life." The blond boy's usual smirk was gone and in it's place was a solemn look.

"It's the circle of life and it moves us all, through despair and hope, through faith and love." Blaise took the spotlight and turned to face the other Syltherins.

"Till we find our place on the path unwinding, in the circle. The circle of life." All the Sytherins finished quietly, but loud enough for the whole hall to hear. Shocked, that the Slytherins understood such a hard lesson already, the teachers turned to face the group. Draco Malfoy stood up from the table slowly and walked out of the Great Hall. Behind him followed Blaise, Pansy, Crabbe, Goyle, and the rest of the Slytherins. Harry and the rest of the houses watched them walk out and gained a new respect for the house that they all hated so much.

"Wow." Ron said quietly.

"Yeah." Harry agreed.

"Draco really does have a good voice."

"Ron!" Hermione shouted.

"What?"

"Though true, I hardly think that that's the point of the song." Ron looked at Hermione with a confused face.

"Well, what's the point then?" Hermione shook her head.

"I think it's about life, you know. That it goes on even though people die and get hurt." Harry explained his feelings and fidgeted when Hermione and Ron stared at him.

"Really? I didn't get that. It was just the first time I realized that Draco a good singer. But I'm still sick of hearing about it." Ron nodded in agreement with his own statement. Harry shook his head before a evil glint entered his eyes.

"Well, Ron, he has to have a good voice to match his good looks. I mean, have you seen how he looks in his Quiddich robes?"

"EWW!" Ron squealed and made a disgusted face. Harry and the surrounding Gryffindors laughed.

"I was kidding Ron."

"That's not funny!"

So there it is. It's a little more serious but it has a fun ending. I know I didn't get it up when I wanted to but it's posted so yay! Please review I work really hard on this and all the bowing is beginning to hurt my back. REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!
