Perfectly Sewed, and Perfectly Pink, Pointe Shoes.

THE SECRET REVEALED
Chapter 4
Dance and Sing
Harry glanced at Ron making sure he was seeing correctly. He looked back
to the floor.
When they had first started trying to find out what the girls were doing
they never thought they would find this! Ballet! He hadn't ever seen a
ballet but he knew it was supposed to be hard! Harry's thoughts broke
off as he noticed the girls stand up: he stood still to see. Ron
obviously had the same thoughts for he waved his hand in-front of
Harry's face and pointed to the front, middle of the room where they
could see better.
Slowly, Harry and Ron walked to the front of the room and turned their
backs to the mirror where they would watch the whole thing. At the
moment Ginny was standing by the stereo and Hermione was shutting the
blinds on the windows.
"Hey Hermione..." said Ginny flipping through some CD's, "You're
teaching class today. What CD should we use?"
Hermione closed the last window, "Hold on a second." She ran across the
room to Ginny. She dug threw the CD's and pulled one out.
"Let's try something different for bar today." Hermione suggested as she
popped the CD into the stereo.
As they ran to the barr across from the giant mirror, Hermione yelled in
a loud voice, "Combination - Tondue with Plies!"
And the music started (Every Time by Jessica Andrews)
"Prep, 5, 6, 7, 8"
'I laid the blanket there on the shoreline
and saw the water shine with the moon
what kind of fool would fail to notice
the best thing shining was you.'
Hermione worked slow and gracefully reminding Harry of the snow flakes
he had seen through his bedroom window. Ginny was moving her arms along
beautifully with it also, seeming to be one with the music.
'Oh I laughed kinda nervous
I felt you move closer
and felt the world unwind
once was a stranger not quite lover
but steadily crossing the line.'
Again Hemione called out, "Combination - Frappe and Pencil Turns! 6,7,8!"
'Carry me far away
don't hold back, I won't break
leave the ghosts behind
all I know wrong or right
just the thought of this night
will get me every time
every time.'
"Rond de jambe!" Hermione said loudly for Ginny. Then started together.
'Well the voice in my head said what
are you doing
I thought not listening to you
you see I'm taking a chance
I'm thinking 'bout flying
over the blue.'
'Carry me far away
don't hold back, I won't break
leave the ghosts behind
all I know wrong or right
just the thought of this night
will get me every time
every time.'
"Long Combination- Pirouettes!"
'So, now here I am reading my fortune
in the winding lines of your hand
oh and I see a lost unwanted orphan
head right for the promise land
carry me far away
I won't, I won't break.'
'Carry me far away
don't hold back, I won't break
leave the ghosts behind
all I know wrong or right
just the thought of this night
will get me every time
every time.'
As they finished their last pirouette, perfectly in-sync, the song
ended. Both of the girls were smiling, though you could say Ginny was
grinning madly.
Ginny jumped up and down screaming, "I did it perfectly!!"
Harry smiled at the site of Ginny being so happy...she was beautiful.
Hermione grinned, "I know! I saw you in the mirror!"
Ginny stood for a minute enjoying her triumph while Hermione kept on
talking, "Now. Today we can't stay for the full two hours cause I
absolutely HAVE to start studying for next weeks History of Mag-"
"Hermione" Ginny cut off warningly.
"Ok. Sorry. I forgot... 'No school in the classroom.' Should we do more
warming up dance routines before our dance?" Hermione and Ginny went on
discussing it....
Meanwhile the boys were silently debating whether to go ahead and show
themselves. The sound of music reaching their ears decided for them.
They would wait a little longer.
It seemed as though the girls decided to do their "dance" as it was
reffered to. Hermione was walking to her spot whole Ginny was going
through songs on the CD trying to find the right one.
Ginny pressed another button and the music started playing again, "OK! I
found it! Hold on and get ready!" Ginny pressed the button and ran to
her spot.
*Breathe (by Michelle Branch)*
'I've been driving for an hour
just talking to the rain
you say I've been driving you crazy
and its keeping you away.'
'So just give me one good reason
tell me why I should stay
'cause I don't wanna waste another moment
in saying things we never meant to say.'
'And I take it just a little bit
I hold my breath and count to ten
I've been waiting for a chance to let you in.'
'If I just breathe
let it fill the space between
I'll know everything is alright
breathe
every little piece of me
you'll see
everything is alright
if I just breathe.'
'Well its all so overrated
in not saying how you feel
so you end up watching chances fade
and wondering what's real
and I give you just a little time
I wonder if you realize
I've been waiting 'till I see it in your eyes.'
'If I just breathe
let it fill the space between
I'll know everything is alright
breathe
every little piece of me
you'll see
everything is alright
if I just breathe.'
'So I whisper in the dark
hoping you'll hear me
do you hear me?'
'If I just breathe
let it fill the space between
I'll know everything is alright
breathe
every little piece of me
you'll see
everything is alright
if I just breathe.'
'Everything is alright if I just breathe
I've been driving for an hour
just talking to the rain.'
The whole piece was beautiful from start to finish. Harry and Ron looked
at each other and Ron nodded...
They started clapping and Harry shrugged off the cloak. Hermione gasped
and Ginny gave a surprised shriek.
"What are you do-" Hermione started to ask but Ron interrupted her.
"That was REALLY good!"
Ginny spoke. "How did you find us?" She breathed looking a first Ron
then Harry.
Harry looked uncertain for a moment before saying, "It was sorta easy
once we figured that something was up...we followed you tonight."
"Oh."
Harry repeated what Ron said earlier, "You're very good! You too
Hermione! Both of you should enter the contest! You can even use that
dance if you want too!!!" He looked to Ron to back him up.
Ron said encouragingly, "You could win! I'm serious!"
Ginny and Hermione shared a glance. And Hermione spoke, "What about
Malfoy and the rest of Hogwarts? They will laugh at us..."
Ron shot her his determined look. "No they wont," he said.
"Oh yes they will."
"Nope."
"Then YOU do something in the contest. We will only do something in the
show if you and Harry do." Hermione spoke with her 'look' on. The same
one they received in first year when she told them that it was worse to
be expelled. The one that neither of the boys could argue with and succeed.
This time Harry and Ron shared a glance before Harry said, "Ok. We'll do
it. We'll sing if you dance."
Ginny raised her eyebrows, "Sing? Ok. I didn't know you could sing..."
Harry and Ron's faces turned a light pink color.
"And we didn't know you could dance," Harry replied. "Can we watch some
more?"
Hermione looked at the clock, "Well I guess so."
So Ron and Harry sat down without the cloak while they watched Hermione
and Ginny dance.

Room^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
"HARRY WHAT ARE WE GUNNA DO?" Ron practically screamed.
"Sing," Harry answered like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"But we can't play the guitar!" Ron was frantic.
Harry talked fast to calm Ron down so the whole world wouldn't hear,
"It's gunna be fine! I know this spell that we can use to help use
remember and learn VERY fast what we need to play...ok? And I think we
should ask the other guys to be in the band."
Ron agreed and he went to the Common Room to quietly bring them upstairs.
After a long discussion with the other guys it was decided who should do
what.
HARRY - Vocals, Guitar
RON - Guitar, Back up Vocal
SEAMUS - Bass
NEVILLE - Drums
DEAN - Percussion
Then they started learning their instruments.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^
The next morning the group of boys went down to the common room and
walked with the girls to the Great Hall. Once there, all of them signed
there names under the appropriate category and sat down at the table.
"So what have you guys figured out? Whose going to do what?" Ginny asked
curiously.
A cheshire grin grew on Dean's face and he said, "Nope! You're going to
have to wait and see!"
"Darn-it."
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^Next Day^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Hermione, Harry, and Ron were walking down the hallway from Charms to
Potions when they had a little run-in with Malfoy.
"Watch it Mudblood." Malfoy snarled as he bumped into Hermione. Ron made
a move to get to Malfoy and punch his 'brains' out, if he has any, only
to find himself held back by Hermione herself and Harry.
Malfoy saw this and said, "Hold him back, Granger. We wouldn't want him
to loose his fingers before he preforms now would we?" He was smirking.
"Leave him the heck alone." Hermione was now holding Ron AND Harry back.
Both were struggling to get free.
Malfoy's smirk got bigger, "You better let go Granger, before you pull a
muscle and can't dance. Oh wait, you /already /*CAN'T dance*." He
smirked once more and walked away.
Ron raised his hands in ready punching stance saying, "One day I'm going
to do something and no one will stop me." He looked back at Harry who
was watching Malfoy leave down the hall, his face grim. Ron turned to
see his other friend's reaction toward Malfoy.
Hermione's head was down and one tear was rolling down her face.
*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
They told Ginny that night. Both Hermione and Ginny were REALLY nervous
and regretting that they had signed up for the contest now. Ron and
Harry focused on trying to calm the girls down as both of them thought
it best for the girls to show the school their talent.
They would have to say that their band with the other boys was going
well. The song had been chosen and they sounded great according to the
talking painting in their practice classroom. There was one problem: no
band name yet. After asking the boys and explaining the original purpose
of entering the contest, everyone agreed to let the girls sit in on the
'Naming Meeting'.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^The Naming
Meeting*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^^*^*^*^*^*^*
"How about BAZOOKA?" Dean suggested.
"Oh no that sounds like we're clowns..." (It's also a type of bubblegum,
I wouldn't want a chewy band, even if it did come with a single panel
comic.)
"Ummm... Fireburn?" Dean said
"DEAN," Hermione screeched, "I can ALREADY think of the come-back, such
as 'What did your bum catch fire? Where's the sunburn?'!!"
Neville looked up, "How about 'White Fire'?"
Dean look horrified, "That sounds like a 80's muggle metal band! Please no!"
Ginny looked to Harry who was quietly looking at the floor mouthing
something to himself. "What are you thinking Harry?" Ginny asked.
Everyone turned to him and Harry said, "How about 'N'SHRD'? You know it
sounds like 'insured' but has the first letter of each of our
names...N-S-H-R-D."
Slowly smiles spread around the room. It was agreed upon and everyone
went to sleep, or that's what the boys thought. Hermione and Ginny went
to talk about their dance.
^&*^ In The Ballet Classroom ^&*^
Hermione eyed Ginny, "You think we should make a new dance? We only have
a few weeks..."
"I guess your right but I would like to change some things up and add in
some more difficult moves too. Would that be alright?" Ginny look very
tired and was about to fall on her face. She hoped that Hermione would
agree.
"OK! I would like that too! How about we start tomorrow. Not so many
warm ups but strait to the dance.."
"Yeah. But let's go now." Ginny got to her feet rubbing her eyes and
waited for Hermione.
They got back to their dorms, changed clothes, and fell into bed
immediately falling asleep.
