CHAPTER 9 at last: the Wrappings and Rap-ings of Kors
"Go Hermy its sher birthday,
We gonna parteee like its sher birthday!"
Sang the group in a strange imitation of the muggle 'rapper' Snoop Dogg.
"We got a yummy cake
And candles too!
We do this once a ye-ar
And onleee fo yooo!" continued Kors in a Jamaican accent, quite unaware that she was singing alone and that everyone was staring at her.
"Okayyyy," said Hermione slowly, " well, thank you guys sooo much!" gushed Hermione, going around the dormitory and hugged her friends. "By the way Kors… why are you here?"
"Oh, yeah, when my parents found out you were a witch, they contacted your parents and told them that you'd be thrilled if I transferred, and I did! Oh, and I can teach you guys these great muggle songs from the States! Like the Snoop Dog one!" said Kors cheerily.
Ginny looked around the dorm and winked significantly at certain people and Hermione watched as they stroked their noses and pulled their ears in return. Hermione looked at them, just a tad bit worried, "you guys…what's going on…"
During her question she was pounced on by Ginny and Kors as they slipped a blindfold over her eyes and picked her up. The eight girls (all seeming like insignificant characters until later on in the story!) carried a kicking and screaming Hermione down to the common room all the while trying to calm her down unsuccessfully.
"Hermy, chill! Calm down! This will only be a second..." said Ginny in vain, narrowly missing a blow to the head.
"OK! OK! We're here, calm down," yelled one of the nameless girls.
Kors took the blindfold off Hermione's eyes and the girls threw her on the couch.
Hermione blinked a few times and looked around. The common room was totally transformed into a party room. Above the fireplace was a banner that read, "HAPPY 16th BIRTHDAY HERMIONE!"
The room was filled with all her friends. There was a huge mound of presents waiting to be opened.
She unwrapped her gifts and hugged her friends all individually. She had received a load of books, a portable DVD player, mounds of movies, sapphire earrings and a necklace from (Harry and Ron), a certificate for 50 galleons worth of chocolate at Honeydukes from the twins, an iPod and speakers for it which she hooked up right away. Since it was magical, it already had all her favorite songs.
"SOS" by Rihanna blasted through the common room. Ginny set up one of those spinning light changing machines. Since they decided to have her party in the common room, many other people joined the fiesta and wished Hermione a happy birthday.
Just then, the thickly accented voice of the Muggle singer Sean Paul started playing and the girls squealed.
"Well woman the way the time cold I wanna be keepin' you warm
I got the right temperature to shelter you from the storm
Oh lord, gal I got the right tactics to turn you on, and girl I...
Wanna be the Papa...You can be the Mom...oh oh!" they sang in a cheesy accent.
" Make I see the gal them bruk out pon the floor from you don't want no worthless performer
From you don't want no man wey can't turn you on gal make I see your hand them up on ya..
Can't tan pon it long...naw eat no yam...no steam fish...nor no green banana
But down in Jamaica we give it to you hot like a sauna.."
All the guys stared at them, HUH?
Muggle music was the new fad, and EVERY girl in the wizarding world knew and loved this song.
But all the guys really appreciated when "Hips Don't Lie" started playing and all the girls started dancing.
Kors sang the part of Wyclef Jean in a perfect immitation.
" I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man want to speak Spanish
Como se llama, bonita, mi casa, su casa."
Hermione and the girls sang Shakira's part.
"Oh baby when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body !
"And I'm on tonight
You know my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel it's right
All the attraction, the tension
Don't you see baby, this is perfection."
Kors sang again,
"Hey Girl, I can see your body moving
And it's driving me crazy
And I didn't have the slightest idea
Until I saw you dancing,
And when you walk up on the dance floor
Nobody cannot ignore the way you move
your body, girl
And everything so unexpected - the way
you right and left it
So you can keep on taking it."
The girls belted out the ending,
"I'm on tonight, my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel you boy
Come on let's go, real slow
Baby, like this is perfecto
Oh, you know I'm on tonight and my
hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel it's right
The attraction, the tension
Baby, like this is perfection!"
Their song was greeted by a ton of applause and they all took a bow.
Hermione stood at the top of the staircase and looked down at all the people. She spoke into a microphone she had conjured. "Thank you all for coming to my party, I had an awesome time, and I hope you enjoyed it also! For all you guys that got me gifts, thanks so much, I really appreciate it."
This party went down in Hogwarts history. Hermione became very well known by all the students in her house and they were always willing to lend a helping hand. After all the excitement from the party settled down Hermione remembered about Krum. It had been almost a week and she hadn't seen him.
"Gin, tonight is the night we're gonna find Krum and see what he's up to. It's a Sunday, so not that many people are going to hang around the common room. By 12, it should be empty."
"Ok, at midnight come down to the common room with your cell and your wand."
They parted and the rest of the day went by quite uneventfully. Hermione waiting in her dormitory until all her roommates were fast asleep. She crept out of her bed. Dressed head to toe in black she felt like she was about to commit a crime.
She tiptoed into the common room and almost crashed into Ginny.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" she whispered to Ginny that was just dressed in her nightgown.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN!" Ginny whispered back, "WHAT'S UP WITH YOUR OUTFIT?"
"I'M DRESSED LIKE A SPY, DUH." Hermione performed a spell to change Ginny's nightgown to be black and transfigured some dust bunnies into back shoes and a hat to cover her red locks.
"I FEEL SO EVIL!" Ginny said happily.
"WOW. OK... WHERE'S THE TAPESTRY?"
"I DUNNO, ITS TOO DARK."
"Lumos," they both whispered.
"There it is!" said Hermione, forgetting to whisper.
They walked over it and had a fight over who would tickle it. At last Hermione sighed and did the deed. The lion growled and swatted at them in the painting. The tapestry swung open revealing thin long hallway, lit by candles every 20 meters.
They passed at least 15 doors until Ginny pointed to something.
"LOOK!" she whispered, pointing to a door. Light was streaming out from the other side.
"GET READY..." Hermione whispered, positioning her wand.
Ginny's hand rested on the door nob, waiting for the signal...
