Leah Riddle: Riddle me This (Book 2)

Chapter 30

"Alright I think we pretty much all agree on these songs right?" I asked.

"Yeah, I think. Prefects?" Granger asked. The rest nodded as the groups watched on.

 "Wait a second, why are you all the ones who decide the final playlist?" glared Amortentia.

 "Because I said so," I smiled.

 "Yes, but the younger kids aren't getting any say," she protested.

 "You have no party experience. However, what are your thoughts, young ones?" I asked.

 "None of us have a problem aside from Amortentia," Orla rolled her eyes.

 "Alright then, let's continue," I said.

 "For the second year songs, they were all pretty good but Boom Boom Pow is a little old, isn't it?"

 "It's party appropriate!" protested Orla. This girl is a problem child.

 "It's okay, don't get me wrong. I'm just wondering why you guys went old school. Well...old school for you guys at least. I can understand Disturbia, it's often put on Halloween party playlists."

"We like them," she shrugged.

 "Okay, fine. As for the third years, every song was accepted. I was a bit shocked by a few of the choices, but they were good," I smirked.

 "What ever happened to voting for these?" Terrance muttered.

 "Whatever happened to respect for authority?" I asked back, and he slouched his shoulders.

 "Sorry Miss Riddle," he mumbled. I shook my head and looked at the forth years list.

 "You picked great songs, no complaints," I said, and they all shared looks of approval. 

 "Now, you all get to vote on our list," I smiled, and they all immediately huddled up, discussing our choices.

 "We're putting all of our choices on the playlist anyway. But, let's let them think they have a say," I laughed, turning to my fifth years.

 "We're done," Ginny announced and I raised one eyebrow.

 "That was incredibly fast," I said.

 "We loved all your choices," Orla sighed.

 "They're brilliant," Dennis smiled excitedly.

 "Are those all the songs we're going to have?" Lisa frowned.

 "No, I'll come up with the rest later on," I nodded.

 "So, I think that we should take a break for today, but I have an announcement!" I said.

 "From this Saturday to the night before the party, we will be choreographing our own little dance to Thriller by Michael Jackson. It requires all of you dressed up as killer zombies, and in the very beginning of the party we'll play that as our entrance. The committee members must be announced before the party starts, so when we all pose at the end, that's when our names will be called. Does that sound fun?" I smiled and everyone beamed. They seemed really excited.

 "Great, now go get some rest and I'll see you all Saturday!" I said, and they filed out of McGonagall's room.

 "You're exhausted," Draco said softly, taking my hand.

 "I'm okay," I smiled.

 "I can see you aren't, so let's go," he said, and Pansy walked on my other side as we made our way back to the common room. As we walked, I felt myself getting more and more lightheaded. Abnormally so.
