"Hi Ira, nice to meet you" Willaim told her. " I have never done this Chicken dance at all" William told Ira.
If I did not look funny, I would be doing the wrong dance" William laughed. "Thanks for the compliment" William smiled. " A very good idea, a variation of the dance and I bow to the "Dancing Queen" William explained to Ira as he bowed before her. " If we need partnere in any of the dances, would you be my partner, please?" William asked Ira.

Duh-duh Duh-duh Duh-duh O_O

Carter was dancing along when he noticed something.

Something scary!

Why was Evelyn flapping toward him? And now she was clucking toward him. That was the name of it, right?

What had he done? Why was she coming toward him? And most importantly, why did he never think that he'd be afraid of someone doing the chicken dance?

Maybe he could just shake shake side-step away?

Louisa stayed frozen in place for one full minute after watching the videos. There were...like tens of cool dances and Professor Gemma chose the chicken one first? O__o Shrugging her shoulders and repeating the words; I'm learning, it's for the win, it's for the points, keep going Louisa in her head, Louisa bent her knees slightly, brought her hands to her shoulders level and brought her elbows outward. Beak, beak, flip...flip... UGH! She was going to kill herself.

Chicken dance?

It seemed really funny and to Josh it usually was no problem if things looked hilarious while he could have fun. However this chicken dance did not make you move a lot, did it? Apparently not, and Josh was a man of action.

By the way, how on earth anybody could be so enthusiastic over this? Raising his eyebrows, the Gryffindor eyed Destiny and Mia. Hahahaha...well then. Since everybody was doing it, Josh thought he was supposed to join...

But that was until he saw Evelyn dancing it. She looked funny in a pretty way making a little smile appear on his face. Yet the next moment, there was nothing left of that smile and a long face replaced it when he realised her movements towards...Carter.

And she even touched him!!!! TOUCHED!!!

Of course the overly-jealous and possessive Josh Carter had no mood left for any kind of dance so keeping his sour face, he silently sat back and simply glared at the whole class.

Stare.

Beak beak beak.

Flap flap flap.

Stare.

Narrowing her eyes, she forgot all about the wiggle part of the dance and randomly clapped when she heard everyone else do it, but apart from that, her focus was glaring a whole into the Gryffindor's head. The Slytherin girl believed he and Destiny were spending far too much time together, and him staring in her direction wasn't awesome at all.

She didn't care if he wasn't staring at her friend in particular. It was in THAT direction.

Mooooove. Nudge nudge. Give the girl space!

This was...incredibly embarrassing. Everyone was starting to cluck, flap, and wiggle all over the room. Marilyn really couldn't help herself. She began laughing so hard that it was hurting...The seventh years were especially funny...

Not wanting to be a snob about the situation, because she could have...if she wanted to...She put on her most brilliant smile and began dancing with everyone else.

cluck, cluck, cluck, flap, flap, flap, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle...CLAP, CLAP, CLAP, CLAP...

It wasn't so bad, really...The music was catchy, too, and before long, the Slytherin couldn't help but to start humming along with the music...

It was her turn to be completely oblivious for once.

A CHICKEN dance?

They were expected to move around and look like a chicken? There was NO way Marie was going to be doing something as silly looking as that.

Standing there on her dot she just watched as her friends moved around looking like fools, including... Evelyn. Really? She was going to do this crazy dance? She expected this out of Carter and Destiny, maybe even a little bit out of Mia since she did do all that crazy dancing with Destiny a few terms ago. But never would she have expected to see Evelyn make a fool of herself... in front of so many people.

Seeing that everyone was so busy flapping around Marie took that moment to make her way back over to the chairs to sit... next to Josh. "I see you're not one for making a fool of yourself either." Oh wait, this was Josh she was talking to... the KING of making a fool of himself. "I mean not a fan of dancing."

He so could not take his eyes off Carter and HIS girlfriend playing around with the music probably enjoying this dance thing. Chicken dance. Well...now Josh wished that he was a chicken instead. Um...no he'd make a rooster, right? Okaay, being upset was making him stupid, apparently.

Sighing loudly, he turned his head towards the other side of the classroom in an attempt of avoiding watching Evelyn and Carter anymore and at that very moment he spotted Marilyn dancing too.

Well...

*stare*

Yet some voice rising beside him all in a sudden made him jump and he quickly turned to see...Marie. ''Wow...you were almost killing me.'' and what she was saying...was half true. ''I...well...am not a fan of life in general right now.''

And while he said that he could not help but shoot another glare at those certain people's way.

Even though she couldn't tell if the music was speeding up, there were too many party poopers groaning about, Destiny began moving her hands and arms faster once she noticed Mia finally dancing. She wasn't bragging or anything, but they were the best Chicken Dancers in the whole class! Even better than the Professor herself!

She thought she should have taught the class.

And she also thought that they SHOULD have a dance off. Although, that wasn't going to be fair, was it? It was like no one else would have a chance. They would dominate! "We should!"

Beak, beak, beak. Flap, flap, flap. Twiiiiist! Clapclapclapclap.

"Mia! We have to do the polka part!" she said, and holding out her elbow, she waited for her friend to link hers. Show offs, they were.

The music WAS getting faster and so was Mia. BeakBeakBeak. FlapFlapFlap. Twist. ClapClapClapClap. Oh yes she and Destiny were rocking this class. Half the students looked like they had swallowed a lemon and then there were some that weren't participating at all. The really had no idea what they were missing. This was the BEST class ever!

Mia knew that Destiny would agree with her about the dance off. Not only would they win because they were awesome dancers but because they would also outlast everyone else.

Hearing Destiny speak, Mia immediately linked her elbow with her friend's and began skipping in a circle. "Imagine if they got us to do this for our NEWTs?"

She would get an Oustanding for sure.

Geesh, Josh sure was jumpy wasn't he. And what's this not being a fam of life right now? "Okay Josh, out with it. What's wrong?"

Following his head she looked in the direction he was glaring. Why was he glaring at their friends? More importantly, why wasn't he out there making a fool of himself dancing with Evelyn? "You know, you could always go over there and dance with her." Marie was pretty sure Ev would love having him out there with her... instead of him sitting on the side lines with Marie.

Zhenya noticed Desiree and Raven and moved to sit near them. She didn't see them when she came in!

"How are you both going with the Chicken Dance?" she asked.

She, herself, started doing the Chicken Dance, and having a lot of fun with it.

Right.

So she'd gotten the beak motions and flapping motions down, sort of, ...so was she really meant to be wiggling and clapping now? Blahhh. This was ridiculous! Why couldn't they have studied something simple like...Muggle post or something? It was way slower that owl messaging, so Sierra often wondered how in the name of Merlin they got important messages in time.

As she thought about this, she began to wiggle just a little. Again, she eyed her surroundings, making double and triple sure no one was watching. She'd hex their head off, if so. Well, maybe not that, but she'd think about it. She clapped and then started all over again.

Beak motions...flapping...twisting and wiggling...and finally, the claps.

Tori was not really enjoying this uh, chickeny dance. She was doing all the clapping and beak motions all right but it still felt super awkward.

She sighed and clapped some more, feeling better when she noticed that only Sierra Greingoblin looked more ridiculous than she did. HA.

"BOKKKKKKKKKKKKK," Tori squawked loudly, shimmying over toward her archenemy and flapping her arms in her face. Take that, chickennnnnnn.

What was wrong?

''Nothing.'' he lied quickly with a little shrug and he knew he had never been a good liar which made it very obvious that there was something out of order. He did not care though, for all he could think of now was the fact that Evelyn was dancing with Carter. And it made him feel more and more annoyed, the more he thought of it. And yes, as he had blurted that lie out he had been continuing glaring at them and was still glaring at them...until the she-snake beside him suggested that he went and danced with Evelyn.

Turning at her then, the Gryffindor narrowed his eyes a bit. ''Not when she is already doing that with Carter. Y'know what? She finds it rather annoying when i happen to disturb her fun.''

*scoff*

No, he was NOT looking towards that direction anymore.

"Okay...it will make ME feel less awkward," Kurumi said rolling her eyes and laughing slightly. She realized that she was still holding Jonathan's hand, and her cheeks flushed a bit as she slowly let go of it. Now wasn't the time for that anyway.

"So, what do you say? If we can handle chocolate frogs we can handle a Chicken Dance."

Kurumi's hands were once again at her shoulders height and began doing the beak movements. La la lalala la. And she began to flap again when she eyed Selina and Jonathan. "You can't just leave me here doing this all by myself..."

Laugh at her?

Jonathan shook his head. That would be just rude. "I won't laugh and you don not look ridiculous." well, everybody did look ridiculous learning this muggle dance. Beak, flap, wiggle. What kind of dance combination is that all about. If he had any questions, it would be, where do muggles dance this chicken dance. Birthday party? Anniversary? Which party?

Jonathan shook his head again as Kurumi stated the most obvious reason that he didn't want to repeat. Practice makes perfect. He scratched the back of his neck and he smiled "Maybe later?" lame excuse. He couldn't help but laugh softly at that.

Then Jonathan began starring at the floor, the next thing he knew is that Kurumi grabbed him by the hand and he followed her....


... to Selina.

They met over the summer right? At the carnival. She was the girl they were trying to save. It was even the last time he saw the former Gryffindor prefect. Oh, he passed his badge over to Kurumi. He smiled at Selina "Nice to see you again" while giving her a small wave.

He looked at Kurumi once more when she started to practice. Jonathan was still beside Selina. Does he really have to do this one again. The beak, the flap and the wiggle? It was all so amusing. Just looking at it is already amusing.

But since everybody else was doing it, what the heck. He'll just get it over it. He bowed slightly to Selina and excused himself to go over to Kurumi. He joined her with the first position, which is to raised your hands up, shoulder high, both hands forming it into a beak.

So beak, beak, beak.

Then flap, flap, flap.

And twist, twist, twist.

clap, clap, clap.

He laughed covering his mouth.

"You know you're a really bad liar Joshua." It didn't take a genius here to figure out something was bothering him.

And there it was. He didn't like the fact that Evelyn was dancing with Carter. If that's what you could call it. To Marie it looked more like the Head Girl was giving Carter the evil eye. "She doesn't look to be having much fun to me." Apparently that's not what Josh was seeing though.

Looking from Carter and Evelyn back to Josh she had to ask. "Why's that bother you so much? Everyone knows you are the one Evelyn loves and Destiny is the one Carter is in love with." Well as far as Marie was concerned it was Destiny that Carter loved. Why else would the boy be chasing her all over the school... and showing up in a class he had NEVER been to until this term. Because he was in love with Destiny and wanted to be near her as much as possible.

Kurumi smiled as Jonathan joined her. They flapped and wiggled together. Who knew that the Chicken Dance could bring people a little closer. If she was the comfortable dancing like a fool in front of Jonathan, that was a very good thing, right? "We would all make terrible chickens," she laughed as she started the dance over again, this time picking up the speed a little bit.

"Actually, the song wasn't originally about chickens, but ducks. It was called The Duck Dance," she said as she moved onto the twisting part. Twist twist twist. "After a while, it was called the Little Bird Dance or Birdie Dance, in Europe. When the song went to America is was called the Chicken Dance." Okay, so maybe she wasn't 100% comfortable since she was rambling off random facts. Jonathan and Selina could appreciate her rambling of facts, right?

Now back to the first part, the beak snapping. "I don't want to be a chicken," beak beak beak. "I don't want to be a duck," flap flap flap. "So I just cluck cluck cluck." Twist twist twist.

"Hey Zhenya!!! Long time no see you!!" said Raven glad. She still tried the dancing.


So beak, beak, beak.

Then flap, flap, flap.

And twist, twist, twist.

clap, clap, clap.

So beak, beak, beak.

Then flap, flap, flap.

And twist, twist, twist.

clap, clap, clap.

She tried it repeatly.. Come on!! Can I show you my breakdance maybe?

Sierra paused and took a glance around the classroom. Really? Was it necessary for the Chicken Dance to last this blasted long? Sierra frowned and started over on the beak motions. Couldn't the professor have taught them how to perfect that art of a graceful twirl or something instead?!? *sigh* She'd just gotten the hang of it when she heard a loud and obnoxious sound just to her left. Her eyes flickered in that general direction only to discover a ridiculous looking Tori Bunbury.

Sierra's facial expression showed complete unamusement. "Found your calling, Bunny?" she asked. Sierra went straight into the flapping motions then, making sure to flap extra wide and extra hard. As a matter of fact, she may have flap, flapped right into the face of Tori Bunbury, but she couldn't be sure. "Oh, I apologize!" ... "My bad!" She of course hadn't meant to do that.

He practiced the dance with Kurumi but only once. It's not that he is embarrassed by dancing this chicken dance. It's just that he couldn't get himself straight dancing without laughing. He keeps smiling, grinning, smirking, giggling. The dance would be much enjoyed by his 8 year old cousin. Jonathan nodded "I think the chickens would be more ashamed to see us dancing like this" he said, his smile was still stuck on his face.

And then Kurumi just started to explain the whole dance. Jonathan just nodded. He didn't know what she was talking about the whole time. But it's more hilarious if it were to be called the duck dance instead of the chicken dance. Now that will just make him roll-on-the-floor-laughing.

After finishing the chicken dance, Jonathan decided to just stand up there and watch Kurumi finish and maybe repeat some more. She looks like she loves the dance. Jonathan looked at Selina, she should practice with Kurumi too.

Destiny honestly couldn't understand why people looked so unhappy to be doing the dance. She also couldn't believe that there were some people, she was looking at Josh and Marie canoodling over in the corner, who weren't even doing it! Not only was it the best dance ever, well no, that was the only reason she had as to why people should have been up and having fun.

It was almost as if people wanted to do actual work.

Well, they were going to have to work extra hard to keep up with her and Mia, since they were definitely going to take over the class. Then, with their awesome Chicken Dancing, the were going to take over the castle. THEN.. THE WORLD!

She was getting a little carried away.

Skipping in the circle with Mia attached to her for a moment longer, Destiny unlinked her arm, and quickly linking their other arms, she began to skip in the opposite direction. "That would be AWESOME!" And a very easy 'O' for the both of them. "It would be so much better than writing about the function of a rubber duck!"

Glenn stood stationary on her white dot. She had studied the moves intently during the video and felt her heart sink as she saw the dance; it was ridiculous!

Everyone in the class was flapping and clapping their hands while Glenn stared hopelessly around at them all. She didn't know anyone that well and was mortified at the thought of them seeing her do a "Chicken Dance".

Glenn awkwardly did one round of the Chicken Dance before having the strange feeling that everyone was looking down at her and her hopeless dancing ways. She stopped dancing and hugged her arms around herself. She wasn't thirsty, yet she took a drink of her bottle of water to make it look like she was doing something.

Flapping her arms like a chicken, and feeling completely ridiculous, she turned around to see Zhenya and Raven, who looked just like she did. Well that made her feel a little better and a lot less self-consious.

"Hey guys!" she said smiling and giggling a bit as she joined in with her friends.

Nuh nuh nuh.. nuh, nuh nuh nuh... nuh, nuh nuh nuh nuh
