I'm sorry it took me so long to write this, but it has another song in it, and songs take me aaaaaages to write! I hope you enjoy it! The song is 'Never Had a Friend Like Me' from Aladdin. If you don't know it, here's a link:

Chapter Eight
The library was empty, which didn't surprise Cassie. When was anyone ever around when you were doing something secret in a story? That would be lame, and this is not a lame story.
Anyway, as I was saying, the library was empty. It didn't take them long to find the book that Hermione was talking about: Resurrecting Fictional Villians, Vol. 2.
"Volume Two?" said Cassie.
Hermione nodded. "There've been a lot of vilians, you know," she said. "I blame Disney."
Cassie picked the book up off the shelf and opened it to the first page – the contents.
"Okay." She scanned the list. "Cruella Deville... Darth Vadar... Gaston... Plankton... Rumpelstiltskin... Voldemort! Found it! Page 394..."
They turned to said page, revealing a picture of said villain.
Peter hissed. "Well, he sure is... homely," he said quietly.
Cassie smiled, looking down the page for the incantation. Her eyes found it at the bottom of the page, and she took a deep breath before reading aloud:
"I do solemnly swear that I wish to wreak havoc upon the world and cause lots and lots of evil and be really mean," she chanted.
All of a sudden, the book leapt from Cassie's hands, falling straight to the floor. It lay there trembling violently, smoke pouring from its pages. The library was filled with a dream-like mist as a grey hand slowly emerged from the book.
Lord Voldemort fully appeared, standing before the three children. He snapped his head back and forth dramatically.
"Woah," he moaned. "Ten thousand years will give you such a crick in the neck!"
"Um, actually," said Cassie, "it's only been thirteen."
The Dark Lord fixed his eyes upon her. "You summoned me?" he asked. "You? But your not even slightly magical!"
"I helped!" added Hermione quickly.
Voldemort gagged. "Ew," he said. Then he looked back at Cassie. "So, I realise that this isn't protocol, but how about a little song?"
But before Cassie could answer, a pounding music began, reminding Cassie vaguely of Disney's Aladdin.
"Oh my," said Cassie. "This is Aladdin!"
"The Disney film?" asked Hermione as Peter gave them both a bewildered look. "Oh my goodness, it is! The music! It's that genie song, isn't it?"
Before Cassie could answer again, or Peter could ask what the devil they were talking about, there appeared a row of seats behind them and they were magically forced to sit. Then, much to the torture of their poor ears, The Dark Lord began his song.
"Well, Mr. Nicholas had that magic stone,
Ignotus Peverell had an invisa-cloak.
But Honey you're in luck cause you've got me,
And my sexy powers ain't no joke."
The room was suddenly filled with around twenty of what Cassie recognised to be Death Eaters. They formed a large group behind Voldemort and began dancing around him in unison.
"You got a superman to help you now,
Better than anything you've ever seen.
You've got some accio and imperio,
And all the diamonds of the richest queen.
So come on then.
Miss. Cassie Bateman, please,
What will your wishes be?
Come on, tell me what it is you want,
You ain't never had a friend like me.
No no no."
The children were pulled up by a Death Eater each and forced to join in with the ceremonious dance. All three were more than slightly surprised to find that they somehow knew every single dance step. They shimmied around the Dark Lord in perfect time to the rest of the Death Eaters, their legs flying around and their jazz hands at the ready.
"Life is your Wizengamot,
And I'm your Dumbledee!
C'mon, make a wish and make it good,
You ain't never had a friend like me.
Oh yes, I do a real good service,
I'm the best,
I'm here to serve.
So come on, Miss,
Give me a wish.
Before I really loose my final nerve.
Did I say that?"
Voldemort suddenly grabbed ahold of Cassie and began spinning her around the room as he sang. She tried to fight him off (his lack of nose was slightly unnerving her) but his magic made her obedient and she was forced to prance around the library.
"Wanna make somebody disappear?
How 'bout a Harley D?
I can give you whatever you want,
You ain't never had a friend like me."
Now was the time for the three children to become quite frightened indeed. For they, most reluctantly, had their mouths magically opened and, from their lips, they began to sing:
"Ya ya ya!
Oh yeah!
Ya ya ya!
Oh my!
Ya ya ya!
Ooh yeah!"
Lord Voldemort smiled an evil smile and let go of Cassie. It felt good to have power again, controlling feeble minded fools such as these.
"Can your friends do this?"
He sang gleefully, pointing a finger at Hermione and laughing as she was turned into a horse.
"Can your friends do that?"
Again he pointed, this time at Peter, who was turned into a hopping white bunny rabbit.
"Can your friends pull this out their Muggle hats?"
He pulled a large ball of wriggling ginger fur out of a large hat.
"Crookshanks!" cried Hermione who had now returned to human form. Lord Voldemort hissed at the cat then dropped the spitting fur-ball on the floor.
"Can your friends go Stupefy?"
Hermione screamed as Voldemort stunned her darling cat.
"Or Enervate?"
The cat regained consciousness, but, as Hermione ran to pick it up, it disappeared. She blinked, confused, but then seemed to remember that this was magic she was dealing with, and went back to her spirit fingers.
"Can your friends go Avada Kedavra, let it rip?
And there goes someone you really hate!"
A flash of green was sent across the room, hitting a Death Eater square in the chest. He disappeared into the mist.
"So don't just sit there like a mountain troll,
Don't make me Crucio your lazy hide,
I'm here to help you out, you lucky doll,
And I'm not so hot on being denied.
I want to help you babe, so help me out,
Is there someone you want gone?
You didn't resurrect me, no doubt,
So you could listen to my groovy song.
How 'bout a Horcrux, Cass, don't make me beg you, please,
I can get you three, you can trust Lord V,
You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend."
The whole library began to rumble as Voldemort was suddenly lifted into the air.
"You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend."
Fireworks came from nowhere, exploding over the heads. Red and blue and purple and green and orange and yellow and pink and black and white and peach and magenta and scarlet and cyan and beige and gold and silver and magnolia and... lots of other colours filled the sky, which was odd because they were in a library.
"You ain't never,
had a,
friend like me!"
Cassie, Peter and Hermione all covered their ears as best as they could whilst their feet were performing the Can-Can beneath them. Voldemort could not hit the high notes.
"You ain't never had a friend like me!"
The Death Eaters vanished, as did the fireworks. Cassie, Hermione and Peter were all broken from the magical dancing spell. They stood in the middle of the library, panting heavily, their mouths hanging open, staring at Lord Voldemort, who was currently holding out his hands as if he'd just finished the perfect Jazz Hands movement.
"This is the part where you give me applause," he whispered, yet still they stood with their mouths open. He sighed. "Honestly, that was awesome!"
Having no other foreseeable option, Voldemort hissed, "Imperio!" He would have his applause. But nothing happened. They didn't bow to his will.
"What the-?" He looked around the room and gawked. "Where are my Death Eaters? Why isn't my magic working?"
Hermione, regaining some of her senses, picked up Resurrecting Fictional Villians, Vol. 2 from the floor.
"Oh," she said eventually. She pointed to the small-print at the bottom of the page, which read: No magic outside Hogwarts!
