A/N: Students singing will be written in bold. If it is a duet then the names shall be written by the piece that each are singing (). ( Draco's thoughts) [] ( Harry's thoughts) Done during sixth year, any characters from the Harry Potter books I don't own (If I did then Sirius wouldn't be dead!). Any others not from the books are mine
A SONG FOR ALL: Chapter one
The student population sat in their respective common rooms, bored. They had no lessons for all had been cancelled as a way to celebrate the downfall of Voldemort.
Whilst the festivities had been fun, now there was nothing left to do. Even Dumbledore was bored. One day as he sat alone in his office an idea struck him.
"Oh yes quite a good idea if I do say so myself!" he said to himself
He got out a couple of sheets of parchment, a quill and some black ink. He wrote on each sheet of parchment:
Students and faculty members,
It has come to my knowledge that most of you are bored. I have an idea; we shall have a muggle singing competition. All students are to take part in the competition and at the end of it all the professors and I shall decide who the best was. The competition shall take place on Friday 12th February from 8:30pm onwards. You need not provide your own costumes or props for all shall be at hand waiting to be used but all songs must be muggle songs.
Albus Dumbledore
"That should do it." he said to himself "Now to get these on all the house notice boards and in the Great Hall." and with that he set off to put up all the notices.
"What the hell is he on about now?!" asked an indignant Ron Weasley "A singing contest? Has the old goat gone even more insane?!"
"I agree it is a bit strange" said Hermione "but we could use a bit of fun around here. We must do what he says."
"Any idea what you guys are singing?" asked Harry scratching his nose.
"No but even if I did I wouldn't tell you...it would be a surprise." said Hermione
"I'm with Hermione on that one I'd rather not tell what I'm doing."
"Fine." said Harry
"Well I'm off to the library to research up songs." said Hermione
"They won't have muggle songs in a magical library Hermione." said Harry
"Who said anything about the school library? I'm going to use my own library, toodles."
The next two weeks were filled with constant searching, planning and rehearsing for songs that would be preformed on the 12th.
Finally the day arrived. The students waited impatiently for dinner to come and go and hardly ate anything the house elves prepared (which was such a rare oddity as usually all the food was consumed). Finally, after what seemed a decade, Dumbledore stood up.
"Will all the students step outside for a moment so we can get the Great Hall ready please?"
A great shuffling noise arose and all the students stepped into the Entrance Hall, talking and whispering among themselves as to what Dumbledore meant be 'get the Great Hall ready'.
After five minutes Professor McGonagall beckoned them all in. Instead of seeing the four house tables, there was about a hundred or so multicoloured couches all in rows surrounding a huge stage.
They were all escorted to specific seats each one having the person's name, shining in that person's house colours, on it. Hermione was on the other side of the Hall sharing a purple couch with Pansy Parkinson and Ron had to share a red and gold couch with Blaise Zabini. Lucky for Ron, right next to them was Harry on a green couch. At first he thought he wouldn't have to sit near anyone but just as he was getting comfy, who should sit down next to him but Draco Malfoy
"What do you want Malfoy?" asked Harry calmly [Why does he have to sit here of all places?]thought Harry to himself.
"Well Potter my name is over here and there is nowhere else to sit." said Draco (Great I'm next to Potter of all people. Why does he have to sit here as well? I bet it's that fool Dumbledore, he must know I like Potter. Damn you Dumbledore!!)He thought to himself
"Welcome students, to the first ever Hogwarts Singing Contest as you can see, you are all next to a person who is from a different house, this is to help stop the house rivalry, that is how you will be sitting 'till this contest is over. Now without further ado, here is our host for the evening...Neville Longbottom." said Dumbledore beaming at them all.
Neville stepped up on stage carrying a large stack of parchment. "Good evening all. Now a few rules before we start...no vulgar behavior, try to keep swearing to a minimal, no quarreling and if you need anything ,clothing or props, then just think hard about the item you need and it will appear on or beside you. O.k let's begin our first act is . . ."
