The Next morning around 6:00am, Hermione got out of bed at to call home. Since she didn't want to wake her friends, she went outside to use the pay phone.
"Hello?"
"Hi pop." Hermione said.
"HERMIONE! Hermione, where are you?"
"I'm fine, Pop." Hermione said softly.
"Hermione, this is very irresponsible of you! Hogwarts has been sending letters! I want you to come home right-" CLICK. Hermione hung up the phone, then walked back to the motel room.
Later on, Harry and Hermione were in the bathroom, getting ready, when Ron walked in with a big smile on his face.
"Why are you so happy?" Hermione asked.
"Gillian…She's so cute." Ron said. "If I wasn't with Cho, I'd ask her out."
"To bad she's pregnant, then she might have said yes." Harry said. Hermione and Ron looked at him.
"What?" he asked. Hermione shook her head.
"Were traveling around with a pregenent woman? Harry! What if she has problems!" Hermione shouted. Harry put a hand over her mouth.
"Be quite! She'll hear you." Harry said, then took his hand off her mouth.
"Now, she was the only person who could get me to Paris. And she's also the only person to get you too your mom, and you to your girlfriend." Harry said. Hermione and Ron looked at each other and nodded.
"Are you ready?" Gillian asked from outside the door.
Harry took the passenger seat again, and Ron and Hermione sat where they sat yesterday. Harry was looking at Hermione through the visor mirror, as she continued to write things into her diary.
"What are you writing in there anyways, Hermione?" Harry asked. Hermione looked up at the mirror.
"Just stuff." She said. Suddenly, there was a loud 'POP', and white smoke started coming out from under the car hood.
"Oh no!" Gillian exclaimed, she then pulled over to the side of the road. She then turned off the car, and they all got out to see what the problem was.
Gillian lifted up the hood, and more smoke blew out. She then looked around, and sighed.
"What is it?" Ron asked. Gillian shut the hood.
"It's the radiator. It's cracked. It's going to cost about 300 dollars to get it fixed." She said. Hermione, Harry and Ron all groaned. Gillian then walked over to the side of the road, and held out her thumb.
"Gill, you can't hitch a ride!" Harry exclaimed.
"It's my Jeep, Harry. I need to take car of it's problems." She said, then a truck pulled of the side of the road. "I'm gunna go get a tow truck. I'll be back soon." She said, then hoped into the truck.
"Why can't we just use our wands?" Ron asked. Harry shook his head.
"Because were on the side of the road were muggles can see us." Harry said.
About 1 hour later, Gillian still wasn't back. Hermione lying down on the hood of the jeep writing, Harry was sitting in the driver's seat, and Ron was by the road, looking out for a tow truck.
"She should have been back by now." He said. Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Ron, she'll be here when she gets here. Just still down and stop worrying about her." She said. Ron looked at her.
"I'm not WORRIED about her, Hermione. I told Cho I'd be there in 4 days." Ron said.
"Oh god! Would you SHUT-UP about her! She's probably doing some guy as we speak." Hermione spat out. Ron glared at her. He then walked up to her, grabbed her diary, and threw it on the ground. Hermione then pounced on Ron, and the 2 got into a pushing fight.
"Hey! Stop it!" Harry said, trying to break up the fight. "STOP!" he said, finally pulling them apart.
"God! Can't you 2 get along for 5 minutes? Bitching and Fighting like 5 year olds! I never should have invited you!" Harry yelled.
"We don't belong together.." Hermione said, walking over and picking up her book. And climbing into the back of the jeep.
"Well this was a mistake…" Ron said to himself.
Gillian got there about 15 minutes later with a tow truck. They were then towed to the nearest Car Garage. Gillian was right, it was going to cost about 315 dollars.
"I'm calling my dad to come pick me up." Hermione said, walking into the garage office. Harry followed her.
"You're leaving?" he asked. Hermione turned around and faced him.
"This trip is over." She said, picking up the phone. Gillian walked up to her.
"Hermione, I have an idea." She said. Hermione sighed, and turned to face all of them.
"The last time I followed someones idea, we wound up here with a cracked radiator. This trip was a mess, we had nothing planned out." She said, and started dialing. Harry frowned.
"Fine, Hermione, run back home to your dad! Don't live life for once, I don't care." Harry said, walking out of the office. The phone started ringing.
"Please…Hermione, I have an idea." Gillian begged. Hermione looked at her, then at Harry, and Ron.
"Hang-up the phone…" Ron said.
"Please, Mione…" Harry pleaded.
"Hello?" CLICK, Hermione hung up the phone again. She turned to Gillian.
"It better be a damn good idea." She said.
After the paid for the raidator, they traveled as far to Southhampton, where there was a Karaoke Club that if the people liked how you sing, they pay you money. Gillian said that she would sing lead, and Hermione and Ron could be the back-ups. Harry sat at the bar, awaiting for his friends to arrive on the stage.
"Ron." Hermione said. Ron looked up at her. She was sitting on the dressing table, and he was sitting down on a chair.
"Yeah?" He asked.
"Lets try and get along, okay?" She asked. Ron smiled, and nodded.
"Deal." He said.
"Are we ready?" Gillian asked. Ron and Hermione nodded, and walked over to the door.
"Wait…" Gillian said, Hermione and Ron turned around.
"If we want a lot of money, we have to look sexy." She said, looking at Hermione who was wearing a white button up tee shirt, and a pair of blue jeans. Ron was wearing a pair of kaki pants, and a red sweater. Gillian was wearing a white dress with red flowers.
"Now your talking…" Ron said, as Gillian went over to a box that had a bunch of clothes, and things in it.
Gillian, Hermione and Ron walked out onto the stage. Harry was amazed at how they all looked…
Hermione was now wearing a very short black tank-top that reaviled her stomach and had a 'V' neck. It also said "FREEDOM" in Celtic letters. She was also wearing a sort jean skirt, with a studded belt and a pair of knee length black boots. She also wore a pair of black fishnet knuckle gloves. Her hair was also curled.
Gillian was wearing a tight black tube top, with a glittered tiger on the front, she also wore a jean skirt. She wore a pair of black fishnet stockings, and black high heels. Her hair was down, and had glitter in it.
Ron was wearing a black wifebeater, and a pair of dark blue, baggy jeans. He had on a pair of dark sunglasses, and his hair was done up like a greaser.
Everyone was cheering, as Gillian took the front of the stage up to the mircophone. Hermione and Ron took the 2 microphones that were in the back alittle and off to the side. The music to "I Love Rock 'N' Roll" started.
Gillian was nervous. Sure, she played in front of an audience, but never sang. When it was time for her to sing, she sang so low, that no one could hear her. Everyone started booing.
"Gillian…" Hermione whisperd.
"I can't do it…" Gillian said, and walked over to her and Ron.
"You can do it, Gill." Ron said.
"No, No I can't…You go Hermione."
"What?!"
"You go, please…"
"I can't…"
"Yes, you can, come on." Gillian said, pushing Hermione to the front of the stage.
"Okay, okay, okay…" Hermione said, walking up to the microphone. Gillian stood in Hermione's place next to Ron.
"Are you okay?" Ron asked, putting a arm around her.
"No" she said in a fast, sad tone.
The music began to play. Hermione tapped on the mircophone, and it squeaked. The word on the TV in front of the stage appeared. Hermione looked at them, she knew the song, but was really scared.

*She began to strut around the stage, doing alittle dance moves*
He smiled, so I got up and asked for his name
"But that don't matter," he said, "'cause it's all the same."
He said, "Can I take you home where we can be alone?"

*She walked back over to Ron and Gillian, and got in between them. They began to walk slowy towards the front of the stage.*
I Love Rock N Roll

He said, "Can I take you home where we can be alone?"

*Hermione then began doing little dances. Everyone still singing, and throwing there hands in the air. Harry had his eyes wide opened, and a huge smile on his face. The money jar was getting full.*

Harry and Ron sat at the bar counting the money, which was a lot. Hermione then came up next to Harry.
"Is it enough?" she asked. Harry nodded.
"We have enough for everything." He smiled, and turned to her. She then surprised him by giving him a big hug. She then broke from the hug and smiled at him. She then went back on the dance floor with Gillian. Then, a guy who was about 5'11, with short blonde hair, and brown eyes, scooted next to Harry.
"Is she with you?" he asked. Harry turned to him.
"What?" he said.
"Is she your girl?" the guy asked. Harry looked down at the money.
"No…No she's not." He replied solomy. The guy then smiled, and turned to his friends.
"Watch this…" he said, the began sruting towards Hermione, and stepped in front of Gillian, and began dancing with her. She wasn't having a problem with it for awhile, but then he wrapped his arms around her, trying to freak with her.
"Stop…" she said, but he just pulled her closer.
"I said stop it." She said louder, Harry heard her, and began walking towards them.
"Come on, baby. Whats wrong?" the guy asked. Harry then pushed him away from her.
"I don't think she wants to dance." He said. Gillian then walked over to Hermione, and pulled her out of the way. The guy then threw a punch at Harry, but Harry caught his fist, and elbowed him in the nose, the guy then fell to the ground with a bloody nose.
"Come on." He yelled to Ron, who grabbed the money, and made a dash for it with Harry, Hermione and Gillian.
