Chapter Eight: The Truth

"How am I supposed to believe you?" Ron asked.

"Your gonna have to trust me, I guess." Hermione said in a pleading tone. Ron bit his lip. I want to! He thought to himself. He looked at Hermione, who was starring at her lap again. I need to. He thought. Ron soundlessly kneeled in front of Hermione. She didn't look up.

"First friends, then maybe later..." Ron whispered in her ear, letting the rest of his sentence drift off. Hermione looked up with a smile on her face. Maybe it wasn't exactly what she wanted, but 'Friends' was better then nothing. Even though she really wanted something more then friendship, she flung her arms around his neck. For once, Ron wasn't taken by surprise and he hugged her back.

Ginny fell onto her bed and sighed. The good thing is She thought to herself that he knows he's a prat. She finished, remembering what she heard Seamus say to Harry before she slammed her door.

"What am I gonna do?" She muttered to herself. She shook her head, and got back off her bed and went to her dorm room door. "Sorry Hermione." She whispered to thin air, before she opened her door, went out it, and then slammed it loudly closed.

Ron and Hermione pulled out of there hug.

"Only one person can slam a door like that." Hermione muttered. Ron nodded.

"Ginny." He said. Sure enough, Ginny came running down the stairs and she looked mad. Hermione and Ron both furrowed their eyebrows. As Ginny passed them, Hermione made a move to get up, but Ginny waved her away before she could. Ginny then went out the portrait hole. Then a second later, Hermione and Ron saw Harry jog passed them toward the portrait hole. 'Sorry' Harry mouthed to them as he passed and then went out the portrait hole after Ginny. Hermione was a little surprised at the fact that Harry's gaze wasn't as steely toward her as it had been awhile ago. Hermione couldn't help but smile a bit.

"Ron, " Hermione said. Ron turned his head to her.

"Huh?" He said. Hermione bit her lip.

"Ginny wasn't lying either." She said in a low voice. Ron smiled despite himself.

"Herm, she's my little sister. I always have to harbor hope that she's telling the truth. Whether I want to or not." He said with a slight chuckle. Hermione smiled wider, but in the back of her mind she couldn't help but wonder if Harry was going to bite Ginny's head off again, or if one of them was going to say sorry again.

"Ginny!" Harry said as he got within 6 feet of Ginny. She stopped for a second without turning, and then she started walking again. She went out the two big doors onto the Hogwarts grounds. "Ginny, please stop!" Harry said as he followed her out the door. Ginny turned around sharply.

"Ooh! The Ice King speaks!" She snapped before she turned back around and started walking toward the Quidditch pitch.

"Ginny, please stop!" Harry asked in a pleading voice. Ginny rounded on him, so fast that they were now only inches apart. Ginny noticed, but brushed it off.

"You know what I think." She said through gritted teeth. Harry didn't make a move to speak, so Ginny continued. "I think you're so awful to people before they have a chance to defend themselfs because you don't want any friends!" She yelled. As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she wanted to tell Harry she was sorry and that she didn't mean it. But Harry made no move to yell at her like she thought he might. He looked like what she said was fare, and Ginny didn't want it to be. Then, Harry said the one thing Ginny really did not want him to.

"That's fare." He said with a shrug, and then he turned around and walked off toward the Quidditch pitch by himself. A tear went down Ginny's cheek, and she went back to Gryffindor toward.

Ron had gone back to his room, and Seamus and Dean had gone to the Great Hall. As soon as Ginny got in the portrait hole, she was grabbed by Hermione.

"Come On, Gin. I have something to help cheer us all up." She said as she dragged Ginny up the girls stairs. When they got to Hermione, Parvati, and Lavender's room; Parvati and Lavender were in there already.

"So Hermione, what's the big Surprise?" Parvati ask impatiently, remembering how Dean had told her he need to think. Hermione smiled.

"I brought some muggle fun." She said. The other three girls raised there eyebrows as Hermione went over to her trunk and pulled something out. "This my dear girls," Hermione said as she slowly turned around. "Is fun." She finished. What she had was a muggle boombox. Lavender jumped up.

"OMG, Music! MUSIC!" She screeched. Parvati slowly got up.

"That's the thing I listened to at your house last summer isn't it?" She asked. Lavender nodded, then she turned to Ginny.

"Have you ever heard muggle music?" She asked. Ginny shrugged.

"Only some sad stuff Hermione was listening to, and one song that a girl in 5th year had. Mya, I think the sings name was." She said. Hermione nodded energetically.

"And I have the CD right here." She said, showing a case full of CD's. Lavender squealed again.

"Herm, you rock! Can we listen to some? It will so bring me out of my bad mood!" Lavender said in a begging voice. Hermione nodded.

"That's why we're here girls, to have some nice muggle fun." She said. Parvati and Ginny shrugged.

"I'm game." They said at the same time. Hermione smiled, pulled a CD from the case and put it in.

Harry had come back to the dorms. Suddenly; Ron, Harry, Seamus, and Dean heard a scream come from the girls dorm. They all got up, and rushed over there, getting up just as the stairs went flat. They heard some music coming from Hermione, Parvati, and lavender's room. And the door was slightly open. They went over; and saw the girls through the crack. The girls were starting to smile as the words started.

"Ooh! Hermione, this is the song I heard!" Ginny said. Then she got in front of the other girls, acting like she was really preforming, for fun. She started to mouth the words.

See baby...
I know you don't have to share girls
I am more than confident that you won't ever have to search
these streets for affection.
I got you.

Then she started to move her hips, and the girls sent cat calls.

(1, 2, 3 ,4)
What kinda of girl, you like?
(I know my looks can be deceiving)
Tell me, am I your type?
(My main goal is to please ya)
What's on the schedule tonight?
(Am I the reason you'll be treatin)
I hope you have an appetite
So tell will you come and spend the night?

The other girls were watching Ginny. Ginny had this song, they'd all have others. Ginny started to mouth the Chorus, and sway the right way to the right words.

Ginny shood still and said...

My love is like (whoa)

Then she blew a kiss....

My kiss is like (whoa)

Then she put her hand at her stomach....

My touch is like (whoa)

Then she brought the bottom of her black tank top (Which she had changed into) up a bit

My sex is like (whoa)

Then she put her hand on her butt...

My ass is like (whoa)

Then she turned herself in a circle, leading with her hips....

My body's like (whoa)

The girls were really laughing now as Ginny continued.

The boys had seen Ginny. Ron backed away from the door, so he couldn't see or hear what Ginny was doing.

"AH! My eyes, my eyes!" He said - not to loudly so the girl would come out - while he tried to rub the image out of his eyes. Ron heard the music stopping, and another song starting.

"Seamus..." Harry said, after he had taken his eyes away from Ginny and finished thinking she's really is beautiful. "You might want to see this." He said finally. Lavender had gotten up, and was slightly dancing to a guy sing a part of the song that was on. Then Lavender started to mouth the words, and Seamus started to watch.

I ......am the one with the brightest hair, leather I don t care

Lavender mouthed, running her hands up her jeans leg.

Baby I
Tell everyone to take their shirts off, That s my dare.

She mouthed, pulling her shirt up just to over her belly button.

You got a girl but you touching me like you don t care, baby you
Do you
But just don t get caught out there

She mouthed, doing the same thing Ginny did with her hips.

Seamus had to bite his lip to keep his mouth from hanging open. And the other boys were trying no to laugh at the look on Seamus's face. After a few minutes, the last notes of that song started to play out also. It was Hermione's turned to dance to a song she knew, this time Ron was watching. It started out slower then the others.

Hermione just stood and actually sang the word that started to play, unlike the other two that had gone.

Listen as the wind blows from across the great divide
voices trapped in yearning, memories trapped in time
the night is my companion, and solitude my guide
would I spend forever here and not be satisfied?

Then as it went into the Chorus, she started to move and sway her hips. But only doing it enough so she could still sing with a clear voice, but still doing it in a sensual way.

and I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after, I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes dear

Hermione held the last note out.

Ron's jaw dropped, he didn't know Hermione could sing, or that she liked this kind of music. He kept watching.

Through this world I've stumbled
so many times betrayed
trying to find an honest word to find
the truth enslaved
oh you speak to me in riddles
and you speak to me in rhymes
my body aches to breathe your breath
your words keep me alive

Hermione continued, her voice getting more powerful and loud as she went. The other girls had opted to do the last song together. But, Hermione was having fun with this one.

And I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after, I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes dear

She sang the chorus again, once more, moving her hips to the music. Then she stopped and sang the next part....

Into this night I wander
it's morning that I dread
another day of knowing of
the path I fear to tread
oh into the sea of waking dreams
I follow without pride
nothing stands between us here
and I won't be denied

Hermione's voice got very strong on the last note as she went into the chorus once more, getting into the dancing again.

and I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after, I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes...

Hermione held the last word out, for what must have been a whole minute (AN: If you sing, you know how hard that is!lol). Then the song ended. All the other girl jumped up for the next song (Parvati had decided not to do one by herself).

The boys started to get away from the door, deciding that they had spied enough, that is, until Dean heard what song was playing. He almost laughed, and went back the door. The other boys followed, and saw all the girls dancing as they all sang the song. The were laughing and having a blast as they sang. Ginny sang the first verse, with her had to her chest and her head tilted up.

Where's all mah soul sistas
Lemme hear ya ll flow sistas

They were all moving like they were in stage, swaying their hips and still having a good time. They all sang the next verse.

Hey sista, go sista, soul sista, flow sista
Hey sista, go sista, soul sista, go sista

Lavender sang the next verse.

He met Marmalade down IN old Moulin Rouge
Struttin her stuff on the street
She said, Hello, hey Jo, you wanna give it a go? Oh! uh huh

She sang with a shimmy. They all sang the next part.

Giuchie, Giuchie, ya ya dada (Hey hey hey)
Giuchie, Giuchie, ya ya here (here)
Mocha Chocalata ya ya (oh yea)
Creole lady Marmalad
e

Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir
Voulez vous coucher avec moi

The girls sang out loud.

Dean almost burst out laughing.

"Do...You...Guys...No.....What...Their...Saying?" He asked between laughs. The boys shook their heads. "This song was a big hit in the muggle world....the words they are saying in french, roughly translated, are 'Do you want to sleep with me?'" Then he doubled over trying not to laugh. Ron's jaw visibly dropped, and Dean seem to read his mind. Because he stood up and said. "Odds are, 10 to 1, Hermione knows what the words are." He said. After a few more minutes off the girls singing, the boys heard them turn off the CD player. The guys gave each other wide eye looks, and all thought the same thing.

"RUN!" And they did. Non to soon. As soon as the guys got around the corner, the girls came out of the room laughing.

"Thanks for cheering us up, Herm." Ginny said, hugging Hermione.

"Yeah, that was fun." Parvati and Lavender said at the same time. Hermione smiled.

"It was for my purposes, too." She said properly. Lavender groaned.

"Our true Hermione has returned." She said. The girls all laughed, before going off to their respectable dorm rooms.
