Audience: [Screaming]
Dumbledore: That was the perfect song for you, James.  10 out of 10.
McGonagall: I have to agree with Dumbledore on this one.  Beautiful work.
Muller: I am sorry to say that you will not be making it to the top, Potter.
Ludo: Don't listen to
her, James...
James: Do I ever listen to her?
Gilderoy: Good job, Jimbo.
James: [suffice to say, quite miffed about previous statement] Don't.  Call.  Me.  Jim.  Bo...
Ludo: Ooooooooook...  Next, we have Sirius Black singing, "The Humour of the Situation."
Audience: [fangirls scream their lungs out at said singer]
Sirius:When you walked in, I said with a grin/That we were just talking about you/We all had to lie because you would cry/If you knew we were laughing at you /In the momentary lull before the band begins to play/There's an overwhelming stench of alibi/Come on now, now/Come on now, now/Enjoy the humour of the situation/Come on now, now /Come on now, now/Enjoy the humour of the situation/I said on the phone "don't wait til I'm home"/But I'm sure I could hear you crying /I said where I was, but you doubt it because/It's the caller I.D. you're buying/In the hour that it took for me to drive up to the door/You'd arranged all my belongings on the lawn/Come on now, now /Come on now, now/Enjoy the humour of the situation/Come on now, now/Come on now, now/Enjoy the humour of the situation/Have you heard the one about the boy/Who moved into the henhouse to sleep?/He woke up with egg on his face/When he found out all the hens had crossed the street/Come on now, now/Come on now, now /Enjoy the humour of the situation/Come on now, now /Come on now, now /Enjoy the humour of the situation/As I walked out, I thought about all I had left behind me /I felt a chill because I was still/Wearing the emperor's new clothes/My mind was racing with each chance that I had missed /While your next door neighbour soaked be with the house/I've never felt so small, I've never been so dissed/As I shiver, dripping, while the chorus goes:/Come on now, now/Come on now, now/Enjoy the humour of the situation...

Audience: [blink; double-take]
Audience after three seconds: [roar of applause and screaming]
Dumbledore: That was a truly amazing performance, Mr. Black.  You will most certainly be our next Hogwarts Idol.
McGonagall: I'm still getting over the shock of it all.  Is this why you are always talking during my classes?  To perfect this amazing voice of yours?
Sirius: Heh heh.  Um, suuuuuuuuuuuuuure...
McGonagall: Either way, you were absolutely incredible.  Perfect score!
Muller: [still recovering from shock]
Muller after three minutes: [whispers to Mcgonagall] He's not so much...
Gilderoy: Again, don't listen to-
Sirius: Again, I
never listen to Ms. Styrofoam-Head, guys.
Ludo: Great!!!!!  Sooooo...how much time do we have left?
Gilderoy: Not much.
Ludo: Ok!  If you want to vote for James Potter singing "One Week," call idol01.  If you want to vote for Sirius, call idol02.  Goodnight everybody!!!!!
*fades out with catchy music and screaming fangirls in the background*



A/N: Whew!  Chapter done!  I want to get some stuff clear:
-I have no idea why Sirius knows about Styrofoam.  He's a smart kid; he figures stuff out for himself.
-The visions Sibyll had: The clay vision I will tell when the plot gets there, but the radioactive guy came from the music video for "Get in Line," by Barenaked Ladies.  Yeah, someone's gonna do that.  I just won't say who.=)
-Thanx to lyricsondemand.com for the lyrics and the person that invented the process of cutting, copying, and pasting on the computer.  Big thanx to Bill, Marion, Baird, Dee, and all you guys for getting me into BNL.  And, most importantly, thanx to the comprehension of loopholes.  Without loopholes, I would have to make up wizard-like songs for made-up wizard bands of the 1970's.
