FIC: A Song and Dance About Nothing (Harry Potter, G)
This is just a daft little drabble (exactly 100 words! Go me!) that came to me after seeing yesterday's sports news reports, and then watching "A Knight's Tale" today. You might need to know what English football chants sound like for this to make sense / be mildly amusing. But it might work well enough even if you don't. Eh, it's only short - give it a try :-)
TITLE: A Song and Dance About Nothing
AUTHOR: Soulstarsinger (soulstar)
FANDOM: Harry Potter
DISCLAIMER: Harry Potter and his universe belong to JK Rowling.
RATING: G
SPOILERS: None whatsoever.
SUMMARY: Drabble: 100 words. The Gryffindor lads have thought up a new song for Quidditch matches. Or, rather, they've adapted an old one for their purposes.
DISTRIBUTION: souldo and Diavolo Nero. Feel free to ask if you're interested. :-)
FEEDBACK: Yes please - to soul@freaky.nu or in comments.

"Oh, come on!" Dean protested. "It's a time-honoured tradition."
"A footballing tradition - if you can even call it that." Hermione countered. "Have you thought of the consequences? Quidditch hooliganism could spread through the whole wizarding world!"
"Well, honestly," Seamus put in, "a couple of choruses of 'Ere We Go isn't going to do a thing."
"That one's a bit boring though," Ron pointed out. "I like the other one better, 'specially if we change the words a bit..." He raised his voice,
"You're going home in a body bind,
Slytherin, Slytherin!
We're sending you to the infirmary,
Slytherin, SLYTHERIN!"
- END -
*****
(Notes:
1. The song Ron sang is a reworking of that charming footy anthem "You're goin' 'ome in an ambulance", and 'Ere We Go is just those words, repeated over and over to a simple tune.
2. This is normal football... the one that some of you call soccer ;-)
3. Many thanks to anamchara for checking this through!
