A/N: Okay, I'm glad you guys liked the first chapter! Anyway, I just got back from the movies, we saw Shrek (it's not just a kids movie, I thought it was great!) Well, here's chapter two...please review...(hey, that rhymed!)

Chapter Two

"Practice Makes Perfect."

Two days before her cheerleading tryouts were totally crazy for Hermione. Ron had taken over the roll as secretary and was scheduling her time.

"We're gonna practice with Ginny and Lavender Brown at eleven. Twelve brings along a VERY quick lunch so that we can get good seats for the Ravenclaw against Hufflepuff game...then-"

"Wait! Why do we have to watch a Ravenclaw against Hufflepuff game?" Hermione asked.

"You need to watch the other cheerleaders." He lowered his voice; "Word is...Ravenclaw has one of the best squads."

Hermione rolled her eyes and got up from the house table. She felt Harry brush past her, Heidi joined at hip.

"Oh hey Hermi." He said smiling. Hermione frowned, HA! Like it was nothing, yeah Harry lets pretend NOTHING happened. He broke her heart and expects to just waltz through with his new woman and causally say hey? She Hermione Ann Granger was not that kind of girl...she was not going to let some boy walk all over her.

"Hey Harry." Hermione mentally slapped herself, "hey Harry?" That was not the tough, strong-willed look she was going for.

Ron appeared at her side. "Come on Hermione, we have to go practice."

When Hermione walked out to the lawn with Ron, they found the whole Gryffindor squad practicing pyramids. Hermione grinned to herself, wouldn't it be fun to mess them up? Suddenly, as though someone had pulled the cord on an thinking light bulb, she had an idea.

"Ron, give me one of my pom-poms." She said, dropping her water bottle on the green grass.

Ron handed over the maroon and gold sparkly pom-poms. Hermione, not even knowing what she was doing, picked one up, chucked directly at Heidi (who was on top.) Heidi let out a loud screech as she fell backwards. Heidi fell into Mandy Downs, who knocked over Whitney Applegate, who took out the rest of the squad.

Ron fell to the ground, covering his mouth in laughter. One the other hand, the rest of the team was not so giggly.

Heidi flipped her blonde hair out of her face and charged over, red in the face.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" She screamed, spraying the both of them with spit.

"Oh I'm sorry," Hermione lied, trying hard not to laugh, "I was trying to throw them up and-"

"Arg! Your giving me migraines," Heidi yelled, rubbing her temples. She stomped off leaving the rest of the team to follow; shooting dirty looks their way. Only Ginny and Lavender approached them.

"I'm really sorry-" Hermione began.

"No, we understand, I'd do the same things for Harry Potter." Ginny said with a warm smile.

The spent until lunchtime, doing cartwheels, which Hermione being a Muggle, felt pretty comfortable with. Ron told her to do one more before lunch, for more practice. It didn't go so well, Hermione feel straight down on head.

As Ron helped her up she groaned, "If I live till practice...I'd be amazed!"

A/N: Hope you liked. Oh yeah, I own nothing but the plot and the characters I do make up. Chapter two is called the tryouts and it's due July 6! Bye. --Jessie!
