Scene 6
Still in the hall Dennis asked "Do you remember any of the songs from the show that you did."
Magnus answered "Sure we do, I mean we did practise them a lot especially Stefan because on the flight over in the airship, he fell asleep and quietly sang one of the ones he did called 'Master of Disguises'. I think because we had practised them so much, they practically etched themselves onto our brains. Which one was you thinking of."
"I think it's called 'There's Always A Way' that Hermione sings as Stephanie. It's in the episode 'Defeeted', I believe." Dennis said.
Magnus turned to Hermione saying, "Do you remember that one?" She nodded, "Would you mind singing it if that's what they want."
"Sure, I've still got the backing music for all the songs along with the full version that includes the lyrics." She replied.
Stefan looked to everyone in the Great Hall and asked "Well?" to which came a loud "YES!"
Hermione started the music then sang after the intro had played.
If things don't work out like u want this time around
You can try to turn the problem upside down
There's no use in crying
You gotta keep in trying
Because in the end you will discover
There is always a way
You gotta know you can make it
There is always a way
You gotta know you can make it
There is always a way
You gotta believe in yourself
Soon you'll be shining
Cause you never stop truing
Really believe there is always a way
Always a way
You gotta know you can make it
There is always a way
You gotta believe it
You gotta believe it
Always a way
Always a way
You gotta know you can make it
There is always a way
You gotta believe in yourself
Soon you'll be shining
Cause you never stop trying
Really believe there is always a way
She finished, seeing shocked looks on all faces with the exception of Magnus, Stefan and Jodi who had been there when it was recorded for the episode 'Defeeted'.
Looking round, Hermione asked "Any others before the hall has to be set up for the party later on tonight?"
Cho Chang shouted up, "Do you know one called 'I Can Move' but I don't have a clue as to which episode? I heard the Creevey brothers talking about it the other day."
Dennis answered before Hermione could "It's from my all-time favourite episode in the LazyTown series 'Dancing Duel'! Will you do the dance as well, please?"
Hermione looked at Magnus as the dance did involve him as well. He nodded so they both replied "Sure!"
Umbridge butted in this time, "You can use the stage in front of the staff table if that is a big enough space for what you need."
It was so Hermione gave the phone to Jodi and quickly got in position with Magnus.
As soon as they were ready, Jodi started the music for 'I Can Move'.
Woke up this morning, got out of bed
Couldn't move at all
I heard a warning ringing in my head
You'd better stop or you are gonna fall
I love to dance but I can't move now
Splits are giving me the fits
My legs are heavy
They must weigh a ton
I'm one stiff Steffie and it's no fun
'Cause I can't run or jump or dance or kick
I'll practise longer I'm never gonna stop
Then I might have a chance
I'm feeling stronger, I'll make it to the top
Here I come, I'm really gonna dance
I love to dance and I can move now
And even turn and do the split
Magnus asked "Anymore?"
This time it was one of Hermione's best friend Harry that spoke up "What about 'Time to Play' from the 'Little Sportacus episode. It's the one my cousin watched the most, mainly because the athletic character Sportacus was played by someone nearer to 'Mione's age as Stephanie."
Magnus looked pensive "But the person who played Little Sportacus isn't here is he?"
He was nudged by Hermione who stated "Can't you remember the name of the one who played the part?"
Thinking back, Magnus commented "Yeah, I think he was called Colin. Colin Liam Creevey, I think his full name was."
Colin looked shocked as he sat silently at the Gryffindor table then spoke up as he snapped out of his daze "Is that why we got on straight away Hermione? Because you remembered me from that single episode."
Hermione simply giggled, "Yep, I had recognised you immediately from when we filmed that episode but because of having the glamour in place, you couldn't recognise me!"
"Wow, but I don't think I remember how the dance went." He murmured.
"You'll be fine, Colin. I mean come on, you said you couldn't do any gymnastics but after a single session with Magnus teaching you, you did brilliantly with it. Besides most of your part was shooting in the basketball net in time with the music while I had to do a cheerleading routine on the beat."
"Alright then, I'll do it if you are!"
Hermione nodded then conjured up a basketball and a net for them to use.
Cho's friend Marietta Edgecombe asked what they were that she had conjured up just then to which came the answer of a muggle basketball and net.
Time to play
Let your body move
Let's shoot some hoops
You're rockin' steady
Stand up straight
Focus on the goal
You're on a roll
And now you're ready to play
It's time to bring your game
Time to take your aim
And make it all the way
If you always give a little more
Shoot and score
And don't stop trying
Then you'll be the best that you can be
I guarantee
That you'll be flying high!
Fly!
Don't stop now
You know what to do
It's up to you
'Cause now you're going to play
You're really in the zone
It's time to start the show
And take it all the way
If you always give a little more
Shoot and score
And don't stop trying
Then you'll be the best that you can be
I guarantee
That you'll be flying high!
High!
High!
"Any more? These will be the last two then we can do Bing Bang which is shown at the end of every episode just before the closing credits!" questioned Magnus to everyone.
Surprisingly it's Daphne Greengrass that shout out, "Have you got the one that Stephanie sings on her own after they all fall out with one another the day before Sportacus' birthday."
Her friend Tracy Davies added "I think it's called 'We will be friends' from the episode 'Birthday Surprise'."
Hermione commented "You mean the solo that I'm singing while looking at the photo album in what appears to be a bedroom. That's one of the last I did as Stephanie Phillipa Meanswell and I find that is definitely the most tender of all the song I did."
She starts the music as she sits on the edge of the stage with Magnus, Stefan and Jodi all joining her. The boys either side while Jodi was knelt behind her.
Softly in time to music, Hermione began to sing.
(1234) (1234)
What if good friends
Just don't wanna be friends
But you need to believe
It's not really the end.
And you've been pulled apart
But you know in your heart
That you wanna reach out
But don't know where to start
I really regret
The things that we've said
It's hard to forget
But I hope that
We will be friends
Tomorrow
Right to the end
And then we will
Wipe away tears and sorrow
If we can be friends again
Oooooh!
(1234)
Remember the way
We would hang out all day
And whatever we did
Always turned out okay
One thing is for sure
And everyone knows
That we should stay close
And I hope that
We will be friends
Tomorrow
Right to the end
And then we will
Wipe away tears and sorrow
If we can be friends
I know
It's true
Nothing can last forever
But still, I feel
This friendship will last
Just like in the past
We will be friends
Tomorrow
Right to the end
And then we will
Wipe away tears and sorrow
If we can be friends
If we can be friends
Again!
All the females and several of the males, teacher and student alike, looked like they wanted to cry being moved by that song.
Speaking up, Professor McGonagall asked "Wasn't there one about education in one of the episodes. 'School Scam' was it?"
"You mean the song 'I Like Learning' from the episode 'School Scam' which was the only one that featured the kids going to school?" replied Magnus, looking towards her. She nodded. "Julianna, Jodi, think you can do it on your own?"
Jodi commented "Sure, I'll do Kobie's part as Pixel because Sarah's as Trixie always followed mine as Stingy so Julianna is best doing that one."
Julianna (Hermione) simply started the music for 'I Like Learning' on her mobile phone as Jodi slipped down to sit between her and Stefan, leaving Magnus on the other side of her so they were all in a single line.
[Stingy]
I like learning 1, 2, 3's
For quick calculations
[Trixie]
I like learning A, B, C's
For reading education
[Stingy and Trixie]
Everyday we gather lots of new information
We love school
[Stephanie]
I like learning history
It tells us where we came from
[Pixel]
I like learning instruments
[Ziggy]
Like beating on a big drum
[Stephanie and Pixel]
Everyday we learn about the earth and nature
We love school
[Stephanie, then echoed by the others]
Every time we learn
Our wheels start to turn
Every fact we know
Helps our mind to grow
[Stingy]
I like learning science stuff
Like what's in the ocean
[Trixie]
Or learning what will happen
When we put a ball in motion
[Pixel]
I like learning all about the stars and the planets
[All]
We like learning 1, 2, 3's
For quick calculations
We like learning A, B, C's
For reading education
[Stephanie]
I like when I'm learning something new
And so will you
Let's start learning something new today
They all clapped as the girls finished. Then Magnus commented that they may need a bigger space for when he and Julianna do Bing Bang as he really didn't want to kick anyone by accident and neither did she. Professor McGonagall helped them with that by temporarily expanding the space on the stage while they quickly got into position.
At a nod from Hermione as she said "This is the full version of the song", Jodi started the music for Bing Bang on Hermione's phone.
Bing Bang Diggariggadong,
The first thing that I say after I wake up.
Bing Bang Diggariggadong,
I say those words before I go to sleep.
Get on up it's time to dance, Yeah!
It's so much fun being up on our feet.
So, we go up, up, do the jump, move around and clap your hands together.
Down, down, turn around, having fun is what it's all about.

(Count of 12 steady beats)
Bing Bang Diggariggadong,
Funny words I say when I am dancing.

Silly words that can mean anything.

Ohh ohh

They all clapped as Hermione and Magnus finished dancing to the song, holding the final position as the last few bars played.
