| Hogwarts Idol: 1975 to 2004 Episode 3: Bands of the Future *fades in with catchy music* Ludo: Hello, and welcome to Hogwarts Ido- Random Audience Member #24601: Where's Gilderoy? Ludo: He's...erm...out sick... *shot of Gilderoy hog-tied in the Room of Requirement* Ludo: ...But enough of that! Let's get down to buiseness with Remus Lupin singing "When I Fall." Random Fangirls: *scream* Remus: I look straight in the window, try not to look below/Pretend I'm not up here, try counting sheep/But the sheep seem to shower off this office tower/Nine-point-eight straight down I can't stop my knees /I wish I could fly /From this building/From this wall/And if I should try/Would you catch me if I fall?/My hands clench the squeegee, my secular rosary/Hang on to your wallet, hang on to your rings/Can't look below me, or something might throw me /Curse at the windstorms that October brings/I look in the boardroom; a modern pharaoh's tomb/I'd gladly swap places, if they care to dive /They're lined up at the window, peer down into limbo/They're frightened of jumping, in case they survive/ I wish I could step from this scaffold/Onto soft green pastures, shopping malls, or bed/With my family and my pastor and my grandfather who's Dead/Look straight in the mirror, watch it come clearer/I look like a painter, behind all the grease/But paintings creating, and I'm just erasing/A crystal-clear canvas is my masterpiece/I wish I could fly /From this building/From this wall/And if I should try/Would you catch me if I fall? Audience: *Screaming* Dumbledore: Nice job, Mr. Lupin. This song set a perfect tone for you. McGonnagall: I think you could have done better, but I have to agree with Trelawny's song choice. Muller:...If I can't insult people, I am making no further comments. Ludo: Well, you have to make some comment, otherwise we'll take you off the show and take away the extra payment you're getting for this. Muller: Ok, ok. Lupin, don't bother returning to the set tomorrow; you certainly won't be needed with a voice like that. Remus: *nods; walks off stage* To Sirius and James: The boggart in Muller's desk trick tonight? James: Check. Sirius: Check. Ludo: Ok, then. Better watch out, Muller. Next we have Peter Pettigrew singing "Get in Line." Audience: *half heared cheering* Peter: Everywhere I go someone's /tryin' to by my girlfriend's best friend./ I try to pretend I'm relaxed, /but I'm playing castanets with my knees./I try to be cool and give her space, /but a guy's always there ready /to jump right up and take my place. /Everyone in this room seems /to want to make a big fool out of me. /Everybody open your mouth, /[Everybody, everybody...]/Everybody just say "ahh". /[Ahh, ahh, ahh..]/Everything will be alright/if you play along. /Everywhere I go there's someone in a trenchcoat staring at me. /When I'm not at home I'm sure someone's /rumaging through my trash. /Whatever could they want from me? Is it just a part of a giant government conspiracy? /I gotta go see my doctor about this itchy pentagram shaped rash. /Everybody open your mouth,/[Everybody, everybody..]/Everybody just say "ahh" /[Ahh, ahh, ahh..] /Everything will be alright/this won't hurt at all./ Everybody get in line,/[Everybody, everybody..]/Everybody turn and cough,/[Ahh, ahh, ahh..]/Everything will be alright,/if you just lay off./ Dictate a memo to myself,/Try to find if I'm the only one in complete health./Consult contemporaries if there are some to see. /There really isn't anyone who's in my league/But me.. ./Every night at the lanes someone thinks/they've got a fine bead on me./I try to take three deep breaths/as I lock in and arm mini-van./Everyone says I'm looking great,/but it's hard to stand up/let alone to try to concentrate./I wish that everyone I knew hadn't /sold out to the man./Everybody open your mouth,/[Everybody, everybody..]/Everybody just say "ahh" /[Ahh, ahh, ahh...]/Everything will be alright /this won't hurt at all./Everybody get in line,/[Everybody, everybody..]/Everybody turn and cough, /[Ahh, ahh, ahh...]/Everything will be alright,/if you just lay.../everything will be alright if you just lay...everything will be alright if you just lay off. Audience: *random mumblings of "That wasn't as bad as I thought it would be..."* Dumbledore: Better luck next time, Mr. Pettigrew. McGonnagall: Good work, but don't try to put that amount of effort into assignments in my class. Muller: Pettigrew, you wouldn't know talent if it walked up to you and bit you in the arse. Peter: *sulks* Yes Ma'am... *walks off stage* To James, Sirius, and Remus: Can I help with your boggart in Muller's desk trick tonight? James, Sirius, and Remus: Sure. Ludo: Well, that's all we have tonight! Will our next contestants live up to the judges' expectations? Will the boggart in Muller's desk trick prove successful? Will Gilderoy ever come back from his sick day off? *second shot of Gilderoy hog-tied in the Room of Requirement* Ludo: Erm...forget my last question. If you want to vote for Remus, call idol03. If you want to vote for Peter, call idol04. Goodnight! Audience: *scream* *fades out with catchy music* A/N: Whew! After a long break from writing, I'm back! I'm sorry about the wait, but with new things starting up in my life and school reaching a stressful point, I had no idea when exactly I'd update. Stupid HSA's...stupid musical...stupid Sneaks...stupid Ozians-anyhow, I'll try to update more often. Buh-byes!!!!! -Sirius Orion Black II PostScript: No, Dharna, I'm not biased, nor am I biased about being biased. |
