The Other Potter

Visitors

The next month and a half flies by a little too quickly for my liking. Cedric turned 17, making him eligible for the tournament, Snape made two students cry and three have nervous breakdowns-and that's just the fourth years, and five different people have burst into random song and dance. The rivalry with the ravens is no better than usual, if anything there's a bit of a sharper edge to it.

The day after I get tripped, fall down a flight of stairs, and narrowly miss falling to my death curtesy of the moving staircase the other schools are due to arrive. I am just released from the hospital wing when I'm told to meet with the others outside.

"It's cold." Susan grumbles.

"Lil' longer...hopefully." I say, shivering. It's another ten minutes before anyone shows up, the Beauxbatons.

"What size shoe do you think she wears?" Talia asks as we see their headmistress walk by. Nikki and I shake our heads in amazement. It's another five before the Durmstrangs arrive. Looking at Karkaroff as he talks gives me the urge to brush my teeth, his look so horrid.

"Finally." Brooks says as we're allowed inside.

"Warmth." I say, falling into the seat next to him.

"Cold, Matthews?" Fred Weasley says from behind me. I turn to look at him.

"And if I am?"

"I could always help you warm up." He jokes and I laugh.

"Thanks, but I'm taken." I say and he smirks at me.

"Weasley?" Brooks asks in an 'are you kidding me' voice.

"She turned him down. A lot of boys look at Mya, but they know she is off limits." Talia defends.

"Who's off limits?" Cedric asks, sitting to my right.

"Mya. Apparently a lot of boys like her." Jacob says.

"This I have known for awhile. I'm 'Pretty Boy Diggory' and she 'Perfect Potter'."

"I am?" I ask in shock.

"Babe, I didn't even know about my nickname until you told me in your loopy haze of blood loss two years ago."

"I did what?! You told me I only told you my summer plans and a cake recipe." I say. He just smirks and looks around at all the new, odd assortments off food. "You're lucky I love you."

"I know." He says cheekily. He then looks at me in concern. "Are you okay? After the prank from the ravens yesterday?"

"I'm fine." I promise him.

"Now, but someone's not about to be." Jacob nearly growls.

We got all the ways to be
W-i-c-k-e-d
We got all the ways to be
W-i-c-k-e-d
C'mon hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey (haha)
Hey hey hey hey hey-The four of us start singing. Jacob laughs probably due to the truth about it and the fact that the spell kicked on on the welcoming day for the foreign kids.

Crashin' the party, guess they lost my invention
Friendly reminder got my own kinda persuasion -Talia sings getting up and walking to the Gryffindors.
Looks like this place could use a bit of misbehavior
Happily ever after with a little flavor- Brooks sings, jumping onto the Slytherin table.
Bad to the bone, with even worse intentions
We're gonna steal the show, and leave 'em all defenseless-Jacob sings, going to flirt with the pretty French girls.
A fairy tale life can be oh-so overrated
So raise your voices and let's get it activated-I sing, running my hand through Cedric's hair as I stand.

Long live havin' some fun
We take what we want
There's so many ways to be wicked
With us evil lives on the right side of wrong
There's so many ways to be wicked-All four of us sing as we begin to cause chaos/annoy/inconvenience others.

Apple, apple dip, dip
Wanna try it?
Tick, tick
Take a bite, c'mon, be bold
Change the way the story's told-Several people including my crew all sing, all the trouble makers, getting up to assist.

This time the dark is finally getting your attention-Talia sings, jumping onto the window's ledge.
We're wicked by the book, and class is back in session-I sing, getting up on the windows on the other side of the hall.
You like it, steel it
Gotta beat 'em to the treasure-Jacob says, taking an apple from some girl and tossing it to Brooks two tables over.
A right of passage-Brooks says, tossing the apple up to me.

Bad just doesn't get much better-The four of us say in unison as I chuck the apple across the Great Hall to Talia.

Long live havin' some fun
We take what we want
There's so many ways to be wicked
With us evil lives on the right side of wrong
There's so many ways to be wicked-Every student who joined in on the dance sings. Interestingly enough, several visiting students joined in as well.

Mother always knows best-Talia sings, jumping to the front where the teachers and ministry officials are eating.
Show her, pass every test-Brooks sings, walking towards the front on top of the Ravenclaw table.
Hear her voice in my head-Jacob sings, strutting to the front like he owns the place.
Evil is the only-I sing, jumping onto the teachers' table before jumping off.

Real way to live-The four of us sing in unison, back together and singing in unison.

We got all the ways to be
Hey hey hey hey
W-i-c-k-e-d
Let's go
We got all the ways to be
Hey hey hey hey
W-i-c-k-e-d-Everyone involved sings.
(Ye-ah)-Talia belts out, her voice able to hit the oddest of notes.

Long live havin' some fun (havin' some fun)
We take what we want
There's so many ways to be wicked
With us evil lives on (evil lives on)
The right side of wrong
There's so many ways to be wicked

Cruel and unusual
We're taking control
There's so many ways to be wicked
With us evil lives on the right side of wrong
There's so many ways to be wicked

Hey, hey, hey
We got all the ways to be
W-i-c-k-e-d
We got all the ways to be
W-i-c-k-e-d
We got all the ways to be
W-i-c-k-e-d
We got all the ways to be-Everyone, Hogwarts and visiting students alike, sings all dancing to a song no one had ever heard of before.
So many ways to be wicked-I sing, looking out at everyone like they're below me and I have already planned what I will be doing to them.

Once the song is over all the Hogwarts students look dejected in multiple ways. I sigh in defeat. I turn to look at Dumbledore.

"I believe an explanation is in order, if everyone could retake their seats?" Dumbledore says. It's a bit of a traffic jam as everyone attempts to return to their dinner before a punishment could be dealt out. 

"No punishment since the foreign were in on it?" Tommy whispers as he sits on Cedric's other side.

"Merlin I hope so." Talia says.

"I must apologize to our guests for this...odd dinnertime entertainment. You see, for the last year our school has been under a musical curse. The castors have not had control over how long it will last so the castle has been subjected to spontaneous musical numbers. We are unaware how long the castle will be under this curse, but we do know that the curse is only effective on the school grounds." Dumbledore says.

"Zo zis es normal?" Madame Maxime asks, gesturing to the students with her large hand.

"I'm afraid so."

"And now we're all subjected to this curse simply because we are on the grounds?" Karkaroff says.

"Are they not bright?" Brooks asks, rolling his eyes.

"Yes."

"Karkaroff singing and dancing. That would be interesting." Lucas says thoughtfully with a smirk on his face. You can tell the other heads aren't all that impressed, but are aware they now have to deal with the same crap we have been forced to.
