~Dedicated to Our HPfGU Shippers, whatever floats their boat~

The scene: Professor McGonagall reveals the Unexpected Task
 (lines in () are Harry's)

There's an ancient Tri-wizard tradition
Which I am about to explain
A Ball will be held, it's your mission,
>From attendance you cannot refrain

It's clear from your clueless expression
You'd rather just diddle your wand
But Potter you'd best pay attention
This matter is out of your hand

I know that your powers of selection
Are under-developed at best
But it's now you must make an election
Which partner to take as your guest

It's traditional Tri-Wizard history
We'll all let our hair down and jam
We're having  a knees-up
You'd better not freeze up
					(And where do I feature?)
Just listen to teacher

I know it sounds sordid
But you'll be escorted
When at first you walk onto the floor
And the opening dance will be shared
You'll be paired!

		(It's great than I've been so selected
		I'd rather go fight the Dark Lord)

Though this is a task unexpected
You must take your duty   on board
The issue's already decided
Although I can see you're at sea
You simply cannot put aside it
Or else you will answer to me!

You'll be paired for the dance of a lifetime
(Nooo!)
Though it's not for the rest of your lives
(Nooo!....I don't dance)
A date you are lacking
 (How rude!)
It's time to get cracking
  (I'm screwed!)
Your look of denial 
	(I've flat feet)
Is simply why I'll
	(I'm dead meat)
Accept no excuses
  (...noooo!....)
Refusal reduces
	(...noooo!...)
The honor of Hogwarts, your school!
					(I would rather face Snape in a duel!)
Yes, you'll do it for Hogwarts your school!
You'll be paired!	
					(My incompetence soon will be bared)
You'll be paired!
