XXV: Loser Like Me Pt 2

There was stone silence. Then Puck began to clap and soon enough the rest of Glee Club began to join in "Wow, you two…How long did that take to work out?" Asked Tina curiously, she wasn't one to be on the end of Harry's prickly temper, and was normally ignored by Rachel.

"You including breaks for food?" Harry asked and Tina nodded.

"Four hours, Four and a half was the duration that I hung out there. But the amount of actual work as a pair? Forty minutes ish." Harry said, he wasn't paying attention.

"Closer to an hour, but not that long."

"I'd say you've become good friends with her, Harry." Hermione chirped flashing Harry an innocent grin. Harry glowered at her "You going to let her get away with that?" Asked Mercedes jokingly.

"He will…Hermione and He go way back, ways back. To the point of this is them arguing. At least that's what Harry's told me and I've picked up from his lack of answers." Santana mentioned off-handidly.

"Harry, how much does the class know? About us?"

"Only the fact of I get us in to situations and you're the one to get us out. You've seen me at highest, lowest, in the ground and climbing out…In essence they know about everything and nothing."

Hermione nodded "Yeah…"

"Harry, could you describe your relationship with death?" Asked Emma Pilsbury.

Harry spun around, he almost gave himself Whiplash. Then everyone heard the unmistakable pop and crunch of Harry's body as he hit the floor. "Ow…That…Never gets any easier." Soon enough Harry, had been positioned in a chair.

"My relationship with death? It's either dancing in the moonlight and everybody's feelin' warm and bright or she's taking one look at me and swiping left."

The joking tone fell flat "Seriously, no that's my Godfather…Okay honestly, I can't give a straight viable and honest answer without sounding like I'm a genuine psychopath…Which to be fair, would explain a lot. Anyway, it'll probably get me first before anyone else, my family has a case of dying way too bloody early. It's easier for me to list family relations who get past forty that I know of."

"I'm here if you need to or want to talk about it."

"Appreciate the offer, but no thanks and not a chance. Death and dying it doesn't frighten me; considering I've died before…I'm not scared of it. I don't like the feeling of it but the actual concept of dying and death…doesn't frighten me. It's like falling asleep."

"What about being shot and stabbed…They're painful ways to die."

"They're painful methods of being killed. Difference, anyways it's a blind hot feeling, then breathing becomes hard and hopefully if done right that's all you're feeling. Why are you asking?"

Emma blushed slightly "I received concerns from someone on the hockey team…"

Harry twitched "Who know nothing. I respect you for the job you attempt to do, however I am fine. I'm recording everything down. I've come to terms with my skeletons. Please let's move on, it's the last Glee before Christmas."

"True, but we have the tournament second week January."

"If you're wanting a Christmas Rehearsal, do not hold me responsible if I'm three-sheets in the wind."

The Holidays passed in a flurry of activity. Harry got several things he wanted, but predominately he was three-sheets to the wind but with Andromeda there with Teddy, he was no longer the mopey drunk living on the sofa. He was very much a normal teen, with higher than recommended alcohol levels but he was exceedingly active.

He had now found other things to corrupt his Godson with. Anime, Games and Music. He still snuck new wolf plushies past Andromeda, who had given up on that front. Harry, however had made a trip back to England to pick up some journals in the Potter and Black vaults; which had stories and journals from the Three Marauders that mattered.

Harry, had been found on more than one occasion at kitchen table, in very little clothing with tears rolling down his cheeks. Anyway, the Glee Club had pulled together and rehearsed and had again despite, Sue Sylvester's scheming machinations, won Regionals with an electrifying version of 'Loser like Me'. Harry had travelled with them but after having a bad trip down the stairs had effectively put him out of the dancing, he had however managed to get on with the band and play a very good lead guitar.

Now, during assembly Principle Higgins had declared that the school would be doing a History Week, in essence everything had to relate back to a confirmed and recorded point in time. Naturally everyone selected the Second World War or the First World War and the Glee Club had been asked to kick everything off. "Everyone, we don't…"

Harry stood, his back and leg displacing the nitrogren in the joints causing them to crack "Professor Scheuster, nothing to do with Glee but Hermione, Dean, Neville, Seamus and I have a few things."

Hermione's eyes widened "Sabaton! We're going to play Sabaton! I only know Resist and Bite, Blood of Bannockburn and Winged Hussars." The others voiced similar things.

"Guys, I was going to say we only played one or two right here and now."

"You, five have something?" Higgins asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Don't be so disbelieving…Come on, thankfully the kit has been set up."

Harry grabbed guitar as did Dean, Hermione grabbed the rhythm and Seamus on Bass and Neville scrambled for the drums "The first song we're playing is on a record of the Belgian Bataillon de Chasseurs Ardennais or the Chasseurs Ardennais and their part in the German 'Belgian Campaign' or better known as the '18 Day Campaign in May 1940…This is Resist and Bite."

Resist and Bite- Hermione, Harry

War is coming swiftly
The borders closing in
We're a company of soldiers
Mere forty rifles strong

All alone
Stand alone

Ardenner ground is burning,
And Rommel is at hand
As the Blitzkrieg's pushing harder
The war is all around!

All around
Hold your ground!

Fight all eighteen days of battles,
No odds are on our side
Few will fight for all until the bullets are gone

We!
We will resist and bite!
Bite hard
'Cause we are all in sight
We!
We take up arms and fight!
Fight hard!
Resist and do what's right!

No matter our fighting
The numbers will still count
We're outgunned and few in numbers
We're doomed to flag of fail

We fought hard
Held our guard

But when captured by the Axis
And forced to tell the truth
We'll tell it with a smile,
We will surprise them with a laugh

We are all
We were all

We were told to hold the border
And that is what we did
Honored were our orders
In despite of our foe

We!
We will resist and bite!
Bite hard
'Cause we are all in sight

We!
We take up arms and fight!
Fight hard!
Resist and do what's right

We!
We will resist and bite!
Bite hard
'Cause we are all in sight
We!
We take up arms and fight!
Fight hard!
Resist and do what's right

Gloria fortis miles
The Wehrmacht closing in
Adversor et admorsus
The Boar against the Eagle

Gloria fortis miles
The Wehrmacht closing in
Adversor et admorsus
The Boar against the Eagle

We!
We will resist and bite!
Bite hard
'Cause we are all in sight

We!
We take up arms and fight!
Fight hard!
Resist and do what's right

"The second song, is one closer to home. Blood of Bannockburn and how Robert the Bruce, Robert the First of the Kingdom of Scotland thrashed Edward the Second, and claimed Scottish Independence from England."

Blood of Bannockburn- Dean, Harry

Now that our time has come to fight
Scotland must unite
We'll make a stand on Stirling ground
To put a challenge to the crown
We are one, we have come
We're here to break and end the occupation
We have our nation's fate in hand

It's time we make our final stand

Rally all the clans
Englishmen advance
Blood of Bannockburn

Point of no return

Join the Scottish revolution
Freedom must be won by blood
Now we call for revolution
Play the pipes and cry out loud

We need a king to rule our land
Bruce is in command
It is the crown that's in his sight
And it's the reason we will fight

To attack, send them back
And then we'll see to Bruce's coronation

We are the Scots with pikes in hand
And we will die to claim our land

Rally all the clans
Halted English plans
Charge of Bannockburn
Freedom we shall earn

Join the Scottish revolution
Freedom must be won by blood
Now we call for revolution
Play the pipes and cry out loud

And as the Hammer lost its crown
And a weak heir to succeed it
Play the tunes of victory
Play them higher and higher tonight

Wallace show the way
Led us to this day
Here at Bannockburn

Freedom we have earned

Join the Scottish revolution
Freedom must be won by blood
Now we call for revolution
Play the pipes and cry out loud

Join the Scottish revolution
Freedom must be won by blood
Now we call for revolution
Play the pipes and cry out loud
