Karaoke Party!

The appointed hour had come, and the Great Hall was set up for a karaoke party, just like Ryuuji had promised. There were tables with snacks and drinks, chairs set up next to them to let people sit down, a stage with a karaoke machine and their host for the evening was currently standing up there, waving cheerfully at the people starting to come in.

"Hey, everyone! Thanks for showing up. I hope you all have a good night -- remember, duets are the most awesome thing ever -- and enjoy the performances! I'm kick-starting the night with a song from Voltaire that's dedicated to the old reputation of Slytherin, and then I'll hand the mike over to anyone that wants to show off."

Without any further ado, he launched into a self-mocking rendition of When You're Evil.

((Okay everyone, play nice. Stick your songs up on whatever site you like or link to the artist directly if they'll let you, but make sure you include a link to the song in your comment. If you want your char to sing but ICly they wouldn't, put 'ENABLE ME' in the subject line of your comment and someone will wander by to encourage them to belt out a ballad.))

"That's where we start making stuff up," he said. "You're trying to make yourself feel alive, but maybe you need something to acknowledge that you've died, too. We could steal traditions from celebrating life and death. Glossing over what you have been through isn't going to make you feel satisfied, Laura." Grant placed his hand over hers and rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb.

Laura smiled and relaxed a little at the contact.

"Yeah. Yeah, I can see that, I think. I've been avoiding facing it, haven't I?" She turned her hand over to clasp his. "What would I do without you?"

Grant snorted. "Go out with nice, rich boys who take you dancing and make you happy? Spend time with people who don't think a wild night involves spending it with half a petting zoo?" Flashes of insight into other people's problems? On occasion. Taking a compliment gracefully? Never.

Laura gasped in mock outrage. "Hey! Half that petting zoo's mine, buster. And my experience? Boys like that are great when you're happy. When you're down or in trouble? Not so much." She grinned. "In fact, I think I may feel another song coming on..."

"You only get half because your half has more legs," Grant argued, but he was smiling anyway. "Oh? Are you going to tell me what it is, or will it be a surprise?"

"Surprise, of course. I've got a track record to maintain." She kissed his cheek and stood to take the stage again.
