A Weird Day at Hogwarts

Ron, Harry and Hermione were sitting in the Gryffindor common room, munching on toast, listening to the radio, tuned to a muggle pop station. Ron leaned over and turned the dial to 98.5 fm, the news station.
"What'd you do that for?" said Harry. " I really liked that song, Britney Spears is my favourite muggle artist."
"Mum said that today, November the 12th, was a special day - she was being all cryptic about it. so i thought i'd see what the news guy had to say" said Ron
"Ok" said Harry, as the news came on.
"Good morning, witches and wizards. In top news, Listeners are reminded that today is speak in the third person and wear your clothes backwards day. Geoff says, and now it's time for the weather..."
Harry turned off the Radio.
"oh well, best Harry gets changed then" he said, walking off towards the dorms.
Hermione simply stood up, twisted her skirt around and pulled her arms into her shirt and spun that around too.
"Wow, Ron's impressed" said Ron. He ran quickly behind a curtain and got changed. When he emerged, Harry had descended the stairs, tripping on the last step and falling flat on his face.
"So, what should we do today?" asked Hermione.
"Harry thinks we should go see Professor Lupin" said Harry
"Ron thinks that's a brilliant idea" said Ron.

So the three of them left the common room and started walking in the general direction of Lupin's office. As they turned around the corner leading to Dumbledore's office, they heard yelling.
"Winky demands paying for her services to the school, including back payment to the begining of her employment. Winky has developed a taste for designer clothes and need money to buy more"
"But Albus doesn't have any spare galleons, Albus spent them all betting on a quidditch match"
"Winky will give you till 9pm tonight to come up with the money, otherwise Winky will poison your students"
"Albus will see what he can do"
They heard a door slam, and saw winky storming from dumbledore's office, looking very angry.
"That was weird" said Ron.
"Wonder how Dumbledore's going to get the money?" said Hermione.
"Dunno" said Harry. They kept walking until they reached Lupin's Office. They walked in to see Professor Lupin dancing around the room with a big smile on his face.
"Umm, hello professor" said Hermione.
"Hello children. Yes, Remus is very very happy today, have you heard the news? He got an owl from Sirius this morning, and it was in the paper - that silly old man in the moon, why nobody's been feeding him Remus doesn't know... but anyway, he got so hungry that he ate a quarter of the moon, which means?"
Harry, Ron and Hermione collectively shrugged their shoulders.
" It means no more full moons, ever!!! Remus is cured!" said Lupin.
"That's great professor. Look, it's getting late, are you coming to the Great Hall for dinner?" said Ron.
"Yes Remus is" said Lupin.

They said goodbye to Lupin as they entered the Great Hall. After sitting down at the Gryffindor Table, Harry looked around the hall and saw a small stage set up in the corner, next to the Teacher's table. He was about to comment about it to Ron when Dumbledore stood and said "Albus has an announcement to make, but it can wait until after the feast - dig in!"
"Harry wonders what that's all about?" said Harry, as he pointed out the stage and microphone to Ron and Hermione.
"Maybe Britney Spears is coming to perform" sniggered Ron
"Don't get Harry's hopes up" said Harry.
"Hermione expects we'll know soon enough" said Hermione. they proceeded to eat their dinners. When all the plates had been cleared away, Dumbledore stood again and said " Now for his announcement: he is pleased to announce the first annual Hogwarts Karaoke Contest. All Students must pay one galleon to enter, and you all have to enter, and the winner will be given a prize. if you will all stand, he thinks we should re-arrange the furniture a little." with a flick of his wand, all the house table dissapeared and were replaced with rows of seats facing the stage. the students took seats and waited for someone to go first.

Fred and George leapt from their seats and ran up to the stage.
"Fred and George will go first" they said in unison. they fiddled with the Karaoke Machine, and disco lights came on. They performed "Saturday Night Fever" and "Staying Alive" before Professor Dumbledore stood and said " Perhaps someone else should have a go, otherwise we'll be here all night". Crabbe and Goyle sang "You're so Vain" to Draco, Draco sang "Grease lightning", Hermione did a stunning rendition of "You drive me crazy" by Britney Spears for Ron.

Ron then stood and walked up to the stage. He looked really nervous, and his voice started to crack and he started his song:
"Do you k-know the Muffin Man, The muffin man, the muffin ma-an"
he then faltered and the hall began laughing. Harry, sensing that Ron needed his help, jumped up and ran to Ron, where he whispered, Lets do a duet. Ron nodded slightly and changed the Karaoke Machine to "P.I.M.P" by 50 cent. Ron and Harry proceeded to rock the great hall, with all the girls in there dancing infront of the stage. When they finished the song, the Great Hall erupted into applause.

Later on Dumbledore made his announcement:" Congratulations to Ronald Weasley and Harry Potter, winners of the First annual Hogwarts Karaoke Contest. your prizes are a month off from homework" Ron and Harry felt very pleased with themselves, and thought that this was a very strange day indeed.
