The Mysterious Gathering, or Dumbledore's Karaoke Night

Chapter Five - THE SEQUAL TO I'LL JUST CALL IT CHAPTER FOUR

Hagrid shuffled up to the mic. "Erm, this song is for the three loves of my life."

"THREE?" Harry's jaw dropped.

"I didn't think Hagrid was such a player," Ron said.

Hagrid counted them off on his fingers. "Norbert, Buckbeak, an' Olympe."

"Well, two of them are animals," Harry pointed out.

"Harry, Harry, Harry!" Ron shook his head and looked at Harry. "Three is three."

"This Love has taken its toll on me
She's said good-bye too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice I won't say good-bye anymore."

"Wow," Seamus said, "Hagrid doesn't suck."

"At least he doesn't sound like he's wearing a basket on his head," sighed Ron.

"I didn't think Hagrid had such an interesting life, either." Harry mused.

"I mean, three is three!" Ron insisted to Hermione.

"I'll fix these broken things
Repair your broken wings
And make sure everything's all right!"

"Knowing him he'd just break everything even more." Malfoy scowled.

Harry punched him. "Shut up!"

"This love has taken its toll on me
She's said good-bye too many times before
Her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice I won't say good-bye anymore!"

Everyone burst into applause. Hagrid smiled. "Thanks jus' needed ta get tha' out."

"I wanted to be the break out star!" Malfoy pouted in the corner of the room.

"Next up is Cho Chang!" called Dumbledore.

Chapter Six- NO ONE CARES SO I'LL JUST CALL IT CHAPTER SIX

"Good luck, girl!" Parvati called. "Rock the house!"

Cho looked like she was going to cry, as usual. She cleared her throat. "Hey, when I sing this song, you know who you are, and it's for you."

"Hmmm....She's being oddly specific." Ron said, eyebrows furrowed.

Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Could you look me in the eye
And tell me that you're happy now?
Would you tell it to my face or have I been erased?
Are you happy now?"

Cho glared at Harry as she sang the chorus.

"Yes," Harry said, "Yes, I am happy now!"

"You took all there was to take
And left me with an empty plate
And I, I've given up this game
And leaving you with all the blame
'Cos I don't care!"

"You're right!" Harry laughed. "I don't care!"

"Do you really have everything you want?
You can never have something you ain't got
You can't run away from yourself."

"It's not myself I want to run away from!" said Harry. "It's you!"

"Well, at least Harry's over her...." Hermione shrugged.

Ron watched Harry double over in laughter. "He's taking it a bit too well."

"Would you look me in the eye?
Could you look me in the eye?
I've had all that I can take
And I'm about to break
'Cos I'm happy now
Are you happy now?"

Cho finished and ran offstage, crying. Harry shrugged. "I really am happy now."

"We know, Harry, we know." Hermione said.

Dumbeldore reached his hand into the Goblet of Fire. "It appears that our next performer will be Ginny Weasley!"

EXTRA

Hermione: Maybe you've all noticed I seem to have taken a backseat to Harry and Ron's comic relief! Ever since I stopped singing-

Ron: Hermione, you just sang two chapters ago!

Hermione: SEE HOW FAST MY POPULARITY FADED?!

Harry: Clam down, we can all still win.

Hermione: Yeah, well, none of you are going to sing Cher!

Harry + Ron: ..........................

Hermione: Stupid Malfoy ruined my song!

Ron: We took care of him, 'Mione.

Hermione: DON'T CALL ME THAT!!!!!

Harry: Calm down, Hermione.

Ron: Boy, this is role reversal.

Hermione: I'm going back to doing what I do best, sucking up to the teachers to good grades.

Ron: Ooooh! That's why you and Flitwick had that "Study Session".

Hermione: I'm giving you to the count of three, Ron.

(Hermione walks off)

Seamus: Hermione shouldn't feel so bad; she has a bigger part than me. I mean, who wants to hear me sing?

Harry: Is this being taped?

Ron: No offense, but my song is gonna rock!

Seamus: I think I need to have a bigger part in the books, maybe then I'll be more popluar.

Harry: I think it's Dean that's holding you down.

Seamus: At least he gets to do exciting things, like dating two girls at once! I had this dream once that someone wrote a story about me being an abusive drunk. It was horrible.

Harry: Is this being taped?

Ron: Let's go get some juice.

Seamus + Harry: Okay.
