"Ready you two?" a nervous Alysson asked.
"Yeah, I just want to get one thing straight first, I don't come in until the chorus right?" a nervous "Gryffindor" asked.
"Yeah, you have to wait so the only one who will be playing an instrument for the first verse will be Matt here. Are you sure you want to do this Jeremy? We've only practiced this song for about a week. The drumming is really hard are you sure you don't-"
"Alysson, please, I can handle it, we have a deadline that needs to be met! We have to out-do those stinking Marauders!" the boy fumed.
"If I mess up, screw it! The only people who will actually know that I messed up are us and the muggleborns and I doubt that any of them will recognize this song!"
"He's right Ally, only the muggleborns will really know. Besides it's you I'm more worried about," a "Hufflepuff" said quietly.
Allyson waved off his concern.
"I'll pull it off, now are you ready?"
There was three 'yes's and she crept to the doors of the Great Hall and drew her wand.
"Ventus Pulsus," she muttered. All the candles went out, plunging the Great Hall into darkness. She felt something rush past her.
Matt.
She muttered another spell and Matt, who was now sitting at a gorgeous piano, was now in a pale spotlight.
He hesitated and then began to play.
Alysson stepped forward after a few measures and began to sing.
I'm holdin' on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground.
And I'm hearin' what you say,
But I just can't make a sound.
You tell me that you need me,
Then you go and cut me down...
But wait...
You tell me that you're sorry,
Didn't think I'd turn around...
And say...
Jeremy and his drums appeared at this point, his face the picture of concentration as he drummed.
That it's too late to apologize.
It's too late...
I said it's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
Tears began to fall, and everyone watched transfixed as she sang. Pure sadness etched onto her face. The emotion she put out made everyone stop and stare.
I'd take another chance,
Take a fall, take a shot for you.
I need you like a heart needs a beat,
But it's nothin' new.
I loved you with a fire red,
Now it's turnin' blue...
And you say...
Sorry, like an angel
Heaven let me think was you...
But I'm afraid...
It's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
I said it's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
Whoa!
It's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
I said it's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
I said it's too to apologize. YEAH!
I said it's too late to apologize. YEAH!
I'm holdin' on your rope,
got me ten feet off the ground.
There was a stunned silence, and then everyone stood up and clapped. No words were spoken. There was no need for them.
Allyson took a deep breath and smiled. She turned to Jeremy and beamed at him, he had drummed his part flawlessly. She then turned to Matthew, he was sitting back a pleased expression on his face. Then she turned to Jake, he was just smiling at everyone, then an evil thought crept into her mind.
She suddenly turned around and shouted at the top of her lungs,
"OI DUMBLES, MAY I MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE PEOPLE OF HOGWARTS?"
The applause stopped, and everyone was gawking at her, however Dumbledore just smiled.
"But of course my dear," he said, eyes twinkling madly.
"Thank you my good sir," she replied, tipping an invisible hat to him.
Alysson then cleared her throat and then said in a mock-official voice,
"People of Hogwarts, you have heard us perform three times already, and now I shall give you our name… The Four Houses! We consist of a student from each house, and yes there is a Slytherin among us."
There was a few shocked looks at this, but nobody commented.
"The four of us are KEYS!" she pointed at Matthew who waved.
"BEAT!" her finger moved to Jeremy, he grinned and did a two-fingered salute to the school.
"ME!" Alysson grinned and then moved her finger to Jake.
"Annnd… FISH!"
There were a few sniggers around the Hall as Jake stared dumbfounded at Alysson. He quickly recovered his voice.
"Fish? What kind of name is Fish? I WILL NOT BE KNOWN AS FISH!" he screamed.
"Geez Fish, no need to shout, I'm right here you know," Alysson replied, grinning at Jake as his face slowly turned crimson.
"I will NOT be called Fish," he growled, his eye twitching madly.
Alysson sighed.
"I'm afraid you are stuck as Fish."
"I AM NOT FISH, SIGI!"
Alysson looked befuddled.
"SiGi? Who the hell is SiGi?"
"You."
"Why SiGi? It's not even related to what I play!"
"How is Fish related to what I play?"
"Any idiot would know that the Bass Guitar is spelled the same way as the Bass fish. Hence, you are Fish. Now please explain to me why I'm called SiGi."
The Si part is from Sing the Gi part is from Guitar. Hence SiGi."
"Well now that you've explained it to me… thanks Fish! Come on guys, we gotta' go!"
And then Alysson er… SiGi, ran out of the Great Hall with Fish screaming after her and Beat and Keys in stitches not to far behind.

So, how do you like the nicknames? I personally like Fish the most. ;)
Love it? Hate it? Song Requests? Marauders or No? Lily or No?
