Summary: It's New years at the Ministry and there's karaoke.

"Do you know what it feels like, loving someone who's in a rush to throw you away?"

"Do you know, do you know, do you know?"

"Do you know what it feels like to be the last, to know the lock on the door has changed?"

"Do you know, do you know, do you know?"

Hermione and Ginny were on stage singing at the Ministry party. It was New Year's Eve and there was karaoke and a fair amount of booze, Luna thought that her friends may have had too much but they looked like they were having fun. She smiled rocked to the music as she watched. She heard Ron groan from behind her and turned around.

"Must she sing in front of everyone?" he said to Harry, who in Luna's opinion was paying more attention to Draco than what his friend was saying.

"They seem to be having fun. Isn't that what's important?"she said to him, because it was. Ginny had been looking down ever since she and Harry had gone their separate ways and Hermione had been stressed from all sorts of things, including Ron. Luna suspected that Hermione was waiting for him to propose but Ron was the nervous type when it came to her.

"But they're absolutely-"

"Potter, your friends have dreadful voices. What possessed them to go on stage?" Draco said, as he took a seat at the table, most the others were full but Draco did always seem to gravitate toward Harry.

"They are aren't they," Harry said, absent mindedly.

"For the love of Merlin..." Pansy said, as she rolled her eyes. Luna turned around in time to see Kinglsey join the two in singing, a glass of wine in hand. Despite how much fun they were having they really did sound dreadful.

"Get off the stage would you?" shouted George.

"You're making my ears bleed!" Pansy joined in. Some persons in the crowd supported the two and soon the singing stopped.

Ginny sighed before fully moving away from the microphone. "Everyone's a bloody critic."

Luna noticed a few fairies giggling as they flew overhead. It seemed that they agreed with the crowd.
