A/N: Okay, this songfic title ISN'T the title of the song, but it's going to have five songs, so...and I hope you like it, because it's not just AD/MM!
"Poppy, Ro, Syl, Min, the men of our hearts have been clueless for TOO long!" Selene Sinistra, nee McGonagall, cried, her eyes sparkling mischievously.
"Amen to that, Lena," muttered Rolanda, her mind working furiously on how to win Sev's cold heart.
"Filius broke my heart years ago, Lena. You know how that feels all too well...," Sylvia Sprout whispered.
"As for me...you know Alastor just came back to teach this year because Albus asked him to, and he STILL doesn't know I love him, that blasted impostor got the hints, maybe, but he never let on to Alastor..." Poppy looked like she was ready to cry.
Minerva patted Poppy's arm. "Shh, Pops, it'll be all right. My dear sister told me she had an idea...one that would get all five men to realize what they're missing, even her darling Aberforth." Selene blushed.
"After all, Aberforth is coming to Hogwarts for Christmas break," Minerva continued, "and none of the students seem to want to stay, now that V-Voldemort is back for sure. Anyway, Crouch has been gone two years..."
"Anyway," Selene interrupted, "my idea is this. Let's have a little karaoke session, where we sing five songs for "our men" and we'll pair up so we're singing duets. The other three can be backup if necessary. Okay?"
"Sounds okay," Ro answered, and Minerva smiled. Sylvia and Poppy laughed. This ought to be good!
"So, what songs are we doing, Lena?" questioned Poppy.
"I thought we'd do songs by Shania Twain. She's quite well-known in the Muggle world as a country singer, and she has several romantic songs."
"Okay, sounds pretty good," Minerva answered. Romantic songs were always good when you wanted to catch a man, she knew. Rolanda's Aunt had taught them that.
Lena smiled. "So, we're doing "Forever and For Always," "Forget Me," "That Don't Impress Me Much," "I'm Gonna Getcha Good," and "Crime of the Century". How's that?"
The others nodded. Albus gave permission readily for the five to "entertain" at Christmas dinner, though Minerva didn't give him much of an explanation, and certainly didn't give him the reason BEHIND Selene's request!
When the teachers were all seated at one long table in the Great Hall, the High Table having been moved to create a "stage" area, Selene went into the side corridor where her colleagues waited and made sure all was ready. Then she went back and called out,
"Attention, Hogwarts! Introducing, live for your entertainment...The Sirens!" The other teachers clapped as Minerva, Poppy, Rolanda, and Sylvia joined Selene "onstage" and the show began.

Poppy and Minerva stepped forward. Brown and green eyes met brown/blue and twinkling blue, and the women began to sing...
Poppy's sweet voice rang throughout the Hall as she sang from her heart.
*In your arms I can still feel the way you
want me when you hold me
I can still hear the words you whispered
when you told me
I can stay right here forever in your arms*
Minerva joined in, her green eyes shining, as she watched Albus' surprised expression.
*And there ain't no way
I'm lettin' you go now
And there ain't no way
and there ain't no how
I'll never see that day...*
Sylvia, Rolanda, and Selene began singing the chorus, smiling.
*'Cause I'm keeping you
forever and for always
We will be together all of our day
Wanna wake up every
morning to your sweet face always *
This time Minerva began to sing:
*Mmmm, baby
In your heart I can still hear
a beat for every time you kiss me
And when we're apart,
I know how much you miss me
I can feel your love for me in your heart*
And Albus' jaw dropped. He tried to regain his composure, but it sounded like Minerva meant she was involved with someone already! Who was it? He looked around, and began to think, lost in those emerald eyes.
*And there ain't no way
I'm lettin' you go now
And there ain't now way
and there ain't no how
I'll never see that day...*
Alastor was just as bemused. What was Poppy thinking? Who did she love? Albus? He didn't know...what was it, what was going on in her mind right now? She loved somebody, that was for certain...
Rolanda, Selene, and Sylvia began the chorus again, and watching Severus, Aberforth, and Filius hopefully. Severus just stared, Aber looked clueless, and Filius was thoughtful. None of them seemed to quite understand yet.
(I wanna wake up every morning)
*In your eyes (I can still see
the look of the one) I can still see
the look of the one who really loves me
(I can still feel the way that you want)
The one who wouldn't put anything
else in the world above me
(I can still see love for me) I can
still see love for me in your eyes
(I still see the love)*
Minerva and Poppy continued to sing, and the others echoed their words. All five men were paying close attention now, though they STILL didn't seem to understand!
*And there ain't no way
I'm lettin' you go now
And there ain't no way
and there ain't no how
I'll never see that day...*
Minerva sang this part alone, as Selene, Ro, and Sylvia continued to back her up. Poppy had become silent without warning, keeping her brown eyes fixed on Alastor. His blue eye was averting her gaze completely, and his normal one was shut. Poppy sighed.
"I'm keeping you forever and for always
I'm in your arms..." Poppy whispered, and turned away.

Sylvia Sprout and Selene Sinistra nodded to each other. It was about time they showed "their men" how much they'd been hurt...it had broken Syl's heart when Filius broke up with her on the last day of seventh year. She'd been expecting a proposal...instead she got her heart broken.
Selene hadn't fared any better. She'd loved Aberforth Dumbledore for a long time, and he'd loved her too. But people began to talk about the difference in their ages...and Aber had decided to turn away from her. He had just decided to go along with the crowd. Selene's first marriage hadn't gone well. Peter Sinistra was an abuser like her parents. So Selene sought refuge at Hogwarts. Now they were both going to teach their men a lesson.
*Don't go around talkin' to your friends about me
Bury the past, just let it rest in peace
Leave well enough alone
Treat me like someone you've never known*
Syl and Lena's voices, filled with pain, penetrated the ears of their listeners, and Filius began to cry. He wasn't sure if he was the source of the pain, but he felt responsible and didn't know why. Aber just sat there, confused as usual.
*Forget me
Like you forgot to come home at night
Forget me
Like you forgot to hold me tight
(Well) now you're sorry, now you cry
But don't you wipe those tears
'Til your memories run dry
Please forget me*
Selene noticed Filius' tears. "Good," she muttered. "I'll give him something to cry about." And she sang even louder while Sylvia stayed quiet, letting Selene take the lead even though Filius hadn't hurt Lena personally.
*Don't let the lonely days remind you of anything
Oh baby try to erase the fact we had everything
No you can't come back this time
So let me slip right out of your mind*
Sylvia sang, her blue eyes filled with tears, and she tried not to let them fall as Minerva, Poppy, and Rolanda joined in.
*Forget me
Like you forgot to come home at night
Forget me
Like you forgot to hold me tight
(Well) now you're sorry, now you cry
But don't you wipe those tears
'Til your memories run dry
Please forget me
'Cause I forgot to forgive and forget
So just pretend we never met*
All five sang louder and louder, the pain in their voices evident, until not even Severus could ignore it, though he rather enjoyed pain...
*Forget me
Like you forgot to come home at night
Forget me
Like you forgot to hold me tight
(Well) now you're sorry, now you cry
But don't you wipe those tears
'Til your memories run dry
Please forget me*
They repeated their chorus, all five together, and soon three voices died away. Sylvia and Lena sang alone again...
*Baby, please forget me
Forget me*.

Minerva and Rolanda stepped forward and began to sing...
*I've known a few guys who thought they were pretty smart
But you've got being right down to an art
You think you're a genius you drive me up the wall
You're a regular original a know it all*
Lena, Sylvia, and Poppy(BRIDGE):
Oh oo oh you think you're special
Oh oo oh you think you're something else
Ro flashed Severus a grin as she began to sing alone. Severus raised an eyebrow.
*Okay, so you're a Potions Master.
That don't impress me much
So you got the brain but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much
I never knew a guy who carried a bezoar in his pocket
And his wand up his sleeve--just in case
And all that extra hold gel in your hair oughtta lock it
'Cause Heaven forbid it should fall outta place*
Severus scowled and Ro merely grinned. Her yellow eyes bored into his black ones.
Strange, Ro thought. Our eyes are Hufflepuff's colors. I'll be loyal to you forever, Sev, my Slytherin Prince, she thought, grinning.
Lena, Sylvia, and Poppy(BRIDGE):
Oh oo oh you think you're special
Oh oo oh you think you're something else
Minerva flashed the Headmaster a brilliant smile, her eyes laughing as his usual twinkle was replaced by a confused look. She sang with all her heart.
*Okay, so you're Merlin
That don't impress me much
So you got the beard but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much *
*You're one of the wizards who likes candy galore To find your new password I visit Honeydukes' store
I can't believe you kiss your phoenix good night
C'mon, Headmaster, tell me--you must be joking, right?*
Finally, Ro and Min sang together, with Poppy, Lena, and Syl in the background humming. Min hoped that Albus would get the point by now...
*Okay, so you've got a broom
That don't impress me much
So you got the moves but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much
You think you're cool but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm on the long, cold, lonely night
That don't impress me much
Okay, so what do you think you're Flamel or something...
Whatever
That don't impress me*
Albus' eyes twinkled as Minerva finished singing, and Severus' eyes stared coldly at Rolanda. Ro wasn't easily defeated, however...

Ro and Lena stepped forward, both wearing black dragon-leather outfits. They'd slipped back into the corridor and changed. Severus' mouth twitched involuntarily, and Aber's eyes widened. Ro cried out,
"Let's go!" and they both began to sing. Sev and Aberforth kept their eyes fixed on Ro and Selene.
*Don't wantcha for the weekend - don't wantcha for a night
I'm only interested if I can have you for life - yeah
Uh, I know I sound serious - and baby I am
You're a fine piece of real estate, and I'm gonna get me some land*
Ro winked at Severus, and he was fighting off the almost uncontrollable urge to blush. He succeeded, but was confused by the feelings inside him...feelings he had never had before.
*Oh, yeah
So, don't try to run - honey, love can be fun
There's no need to be alone - when you find that someone*
Lena's eyes were fixed on Aberforth. "No need to run, Aber," she whispered. He nodded slowly.
Poppy, Minerva, and Sylvia began the chorus, and all five sang together:
*(I'm gonna getcha)
I'm gonna getcha while I gotcha in sight
(I'm gonna getcha)
I'm gonna getcha if it takes all night
(Yeah, you can betcha)
You can betcha by the time I say "go," you'll never say "no"
(I'm gonna getcha)
I'm gonna getcha, it's a matter of fact
(I'm gonna getcha)
I'm gonna getcha, don'tcha worry 'bout that
(Yeah, you can betcha)
You can bet your bottom dollar, in time you're gonna be mine
Just like I should - I'll getcha good*
Then Ro began singing alone again. Her yellow eyes gazed straight at Severus Snape, who found his mouth twitching again. His black eyes were lost in her yellow ones...
*Yeah, uh, uh
I've already planned it - here's how it's gonna be
I'm gonna love you and - you're gonna fall in love with me
Yeah, yeah*
Lena joined in for the next verse.
*Oh, yeah
So, don't try to run - honey, love can be fun
There's no need to be alone - when you find that someone...* And Aberforth Dumbledore found that once his gaze wandered to hers, he couldn't look away.
Minerva, Syl, and Poppy sang through the chorus again, watching happily as Severus and Aberforth grew more and more helpless...lost in Rolanda and Lena's eyes. Minerva hid a smile, thinking...Lena, this was a GREAT idea...
Lena's voice interrupted her thoughts.
*Yeah, I'm gonna getcha baby - I'm gonna knock on wood
I'm gonna getcha somehow honey - yeah, I'm gonna make it good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah*
That was IT. Aberforth was mesmerized. He was done for. Rolanda almost laughed out loud as she joined in.
*Oh, yeah
So, don't try to run - honey, love can be fun
There's no need to be alone - when you find that someone* And Sev gave in. What else could he do but let Rolanda reel him in...he was hooked. He was hers.
All five women sang the chorus one more time, and Poppy, Min, and Syl faded out before the last verse...
*Oh, I'm gonna getcha, I'm gonna getcha real good
Yeah, you can betcha, oh, I'm gonna getcha
(I'm gonna getcha) just like I should, I'll getcha good
Oh, I'm gonna getcha good*

Poppy laughed at Selene and Rolanda's triumphant looks. She pulled on Sylvia's hand, and they stepped forward and began to sing...
*I was into bein' out on my own
I could take love or leave it alone
That's how you get when you're hurt to the bone
One too many times
I had this heart of mine locked away
I kept my guard up night an' day
I had enough of the games they play
Out there on the line...*
Alastor's scars couldn't hide his smile now, and Filius' eyes shone. Sylvia and Poppy simply sang on, as the others joined in for the chorus.
*It was the crime of the century
You played Robin Hood an' rescued me
Grindelwald and Voldemort
Ain't got nothin' on you
You came on like Jesse James
You stole my heart like you were robbin' trains
I'm gonna lock you up for life with me
It was the crime of the century*
Alastor shook his head at the mention of Grindelwald and Voldemort, and Filius squeaked in shock, but both of them watched, listening attentively.
*You stacked the deck, you didn't gamble at all
You knew exactly how the cards would fall
You bet your heart, but as I recall
I didn't even stand a chance
I bet you had an ace up your sleeve
An' here I thought that you were so naive
You took my hand an' made me believe
In love an' real romance...*
"Really, cher coeur?" Alastor whispered. He didn't think anyone would hear him, but Poppy was quite a good lip-reader...She smiled and sang on, Sylvia beside her still.
*It was the crime of the century
You played Robin Hood an' rescued me
Grindelwald and Voldemort
Ain't got nothin' on you
You came on like Jesse James
You stole my heart like you were robbin' trains
I'm gonna lock you up for life with me
It was the crime of the century*
*An' if I live to be a hundred an' one
Honey, don'cha think that it would be fun
To do it all over again...*
Filius watched Sylvia, her gray hair framing her face perfectly. She was beautiful. Lovely. And he regretted breaking up with her all those years ago. If only he might get a second chance...
*It was the crime of the century
You played Robin Hood an' rescued me
Grindelwald and Voldemort
Ain't got nothin' on you
You came on like Jesse James
You stole my heart like you were robbin' trains
I'm gonna lock you up for life with me
It was the crime of the century*
Poppy and Sylvia gazed lovingly at Alastor and Filius. Hope swelled in Filius' chest like a balloon. He returned Sylvia's gaze and she smiled. Alastor smiled back at Poppy. Minerva shook her head slowly. Her friends were so obvious...but what was Albus thinking? He hadn't really responded to her efforts much...
*I'm gonna lock you up and throw away the key
It was the crime of the century
It was love in the third degree
It was the crime of the century*
Sylvia and Poppy finished singing, content smiles as they realized their love was finally being returned.

As the "Sirens" came down from the stage, Albus rose and took Minerva's hand.
"That was an excellent performance, my dear," he commented quietly. Minerva froze.
"Th-thank you, Albus..." she whispered. He smiled, blue eyes twinkling merrily.
"Minerva...I love you too."
"Really, Albus?" She grinned.
"Really-really, Tabby."
"Then kiss me, Albus, and prove it!" Albus laughed and leaned in for a passionate kiss. Meanwhile...
"That was...quite the performance, Syl," Filius said. Sylvia nodded. Filius added, "and I'm sorry I hurt you all those years ago."
"Don't think about it anymore, Filius. The past is the past." Filius sighed.
"Would you...I mean...can you ever..."
"Forgive you? Yes, I can and I have."
Filius' face brightened. "Then...Sylvia, may I..." He was cut off as Sylvia planted a kiss firmly on his lips. When they broke apart, Sylvia grinned. "Yes, you may!" He kissed her back.
Aberforth Dumbledore paced nervously as Lena came up to him.
"Selene, I..."
"Drop it, Aber."
"Lena..."
"What?"
"I'msorryandIstillreallyloveyouandwouldyoupleasegivemeasecondchancemaybe?" Selene laughed and playfully slapped his chest.
"Slow down. And of course, you old coot." She kissed him and he pulled her in closer for a more passionate kiss.
Rolanda was still humming "That Don't Impress Me Much" as she sauntered over to Severus, yellow eyes gleaming.
"So, my Slytherin Prince."
"Quidditch Queen." He extended his hand to her and she took it, pulling hard and twirling herself into his arms. He leaned in and kissed her.
Alastor Moody walked toward Poppy, his wooden leg thumping on the floor of the Great Hall. She stood there, caught like a deer in headlights as he came closer and closer. When he was right in front of her, he touched her hand.
"Cher coeur," she murmured, and fainted. He caught her and pulled her close. "Now, how is it the Muggles do this?" he muttered. "Oh yes." He kissed her gently on the lips. "It works for the Princes in their stories," he muttered, when Poppy's eyes didn't open. Then he heard her speak, eyes still closed.
"Do it again, Alastor." He complied, and her eyes flew open.
Minerva McGonagall, Albus Dumbledore, Sylvia Sprout, Filius Flitwick, Selene Sinistra, Aberforth Dumbledore, Rolanda Hooch, Severus Snape, Poppy Pomfrey, and Alastor Moody were finally happy.

Ah well, I don't know if Alastor really believes in fairy tales. I figured he must have needed some kind of hobby as he was growing up, and probably had at least one Muggle-born friend, so what the hey, he read fairy tales. Why not? ;D
