Only it wasn't. And they were flying by the seat of their trousers. Maybe him more so than Abey since the Gryffindor was the more seasoned singer between the two of them.

One problem with these lyric machines was the colors they used for duets. Yes, there was a little heart mark for the girl and a diamond mark for the bloke when it was their turns to sing individually, but when you were REALLY getting into things it was hard to pay attention to shapes....and the colors sort of just blended together for Derf. Hence him singing along with and over a part that was meant for just Abey.

"You know the world can s-s-seeeeeeeeeeeeeeee us-s...in a way that different than who we aaAAAre...creatiiiiiiiiiing s-spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace betweEEEEen us-s... 'til we're s-seperate hearts-s....BUT YOUR FAITH IT GIVES-S ME S-STRENGTH...S-S-STRENGTH TO BELIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVE..."

Then again, did it REALLY matter if there was a distinct guy role and girl role while they sang? That didn't seem very like him and Abey, you know? Boxes each other in and limiting each other. So this worked out better anyway.

Getting excited for the SHOUTING part, the Hufflepuff bent at the knees and made a GIANT leap forward to belt out the next few words. All IN key, mind you. Derf surprisingly did know how to carry a tune.

"WE'RE BREAKIN' FREEeeeEEE!"




Abey didn't break his stride even for a second when Derf joined in with his part. Actually, even though he could remember the lyrics to the song, he could only barely recall who sang what part of the duet, so was sort of improvising with this bit himself.

"Creating space bETWEEEEEEEN UUUUUUUS, 'til we're separate hearts..." Oooooh, the best part was coming up. Not yet, but SOOOOON. "BUUUUUT YOUR FAAAAAAAAITH, IT GIIIIIVES ME StREEEEEENGTH... STreeeengTh took belieEEEeeeEEEEVE..."

OH BOY HERE IT COMES. Abey waited until after Derf's big moment and then there was LOTS OF DRAMATIC GESTURES and EYES SQUEEZED SHUT and EMOTIONAL EXPRESSIONS and DRAMATIC FIST CLENCHING.

"We're SOOOOOOOARIIIIING... FLYYYYYING..." Where was Derf? Abey looked towards him and did another dramatic grab-and-pull motion in his direction. "There's not a staAAAAAR in HEEEAAAAVEN that we caaaaan't REEEEEEACH!"

Was it weird to be getting all emotional right about now? Probably, but since when did that stop Abraham Botros Jr.?
