Ya'll came back! I'm so pleased! Now here's the part where Draco comes in and the coyotes live it up. Just so you know, any buildings aren't real. Most of them, I just made up. So let's get this party started!! ::starts to dance::
Disclaimer-I don't own anything but the plot. I do own a few characters like the coyotes, but not the coyote name itself. Did you understand that? I didn't…
Chapter 3 A Wild Night
Beep Beep Beep
Mona's alarm clock went off. It was 12 noon, and after a night of partying, Mona felt exhausted. Even though she had been doing this for almost four years, she never really could get up after a huge, crowded night at the bar. Mona felt a wet, soft thing come and lick her cheek. She opened her eyes and looked into two bright brown eyes. These two eyes belonged to Mona's 3 year-old Dalmatian, Perdy. Perdy was white like any other Dalmatian, and had spots, naturally. 'I guess it's time to get up.' She thought. Like all other nights, Mona had been plagued dreams of her past. About what would've happened if she hadn't left almost four years ago. The funny thing was that they always ended with a pair of wondrous blue eyes. They drove her wild!
The snooze button went off again. Mona finally got up and took a shower. Once she got out, the phone rang. She ran to answer it.
"What's up, Mona?" asked a bright voice. It was Chelsea, or more formally known as Coyote Chelsea.
"Just trying to wake up. Remind me not to have Miller beer right before happy hour. It's too sickening. I'm so not letting someone buy me another. If they do, I think I'll be sick. I don't know how Taylor does it." Said answered back into the phone.
"Yeah, well, she was quite taken by that guy last night. It's disgusting how she's slept with so many guys, but I guess every bar has to have a slut. So anyway, we're all meeting at the corner coffee house. Be there in an hour. It's Friday, so are we still on for our poker night at your house on Saturday?" she asked.
"Totally! Pizza, poker, betting… what more is there to life." Mona sighed.
"There is. Bar dancing!!"
"Totally!! So I'll see you there, bye!"
"Bye, Mona!"
Mona hung up the phone and went back to the bathroom. She finished and walked out. Now, for the clothes. After minutes of hard deciding, Mona finally picked out a t-shirt with an English flag on it. It came up just enough to show her bellybutton ring, which was a small diamond. Her pants were leather and were a tight fit, but she had learned to adjust to the lines on her stomach from the tightness. Her hair had changed a lot. Her was bushy hair was now in a perm with blonde highlights. She smiled at her reflection as she looked in the mirror. Harry and Ron would have freaked if they could see here now. Remembering them hurt, though. Then she remembered. Ginny! She would be visiting next week! She could finally see how she was. Maybe then her horrible dreams would stop. Mona grabbed her bag and her wand, said good-bye to Perdy, and headed out the door.
The coffee house hadn't changed in these past years. The coyotes had their own table reserved specially for them. The owner always gave them free dounuts. The shop was almost empty except for their table and another person reading the paper. Mona walked in and found Kristina sitting at their table. She was reading a newspaper, and smiled when Mona walked up.
"Hey Mona! I guess Britain is still reading your name. Look." She said handing Mona the paper. It was The Daily Prophet. She was surprised to see that her name was in there. In fact, it was headline news!
"Oh my God! I'm so surprised. The anniversary of my death is in the paper. How did you get this anyway? We're in American, not London."
"Well… I pulled some strings with my last one-night stand. He gave it to me. I couldn't believe it!" said Kristina looking excited.
"It's weird. Oh well. Hermione Granger was always able to leave quite an impact on people. I wish they could see me now. I bet Krum would regret the day he ever cheated on me." Said Mona smiling back. Just then, the other coyotes walked in and sat down.
"Look guys. Our little Mona is famous!" said Kristina handing the paper to the others. They quickly read through and smiled evilly.
"Isn't it amazing how coyotes can change someone? All we had to do is give you a few piercing, make your shirts just little shorter, and put a beer bottle in your hand. It's so easy to do that we should write a book" Said Megan as she slipped her coffee. The others laughed then nodded.
"Yep, we transformed sweet innocent Hermione Granger into wild and crazy Coyote Mona Cambell. So what ever happened to that Quidditch player anyway? I bet he lost his job." Said Taylor.
"I dunno. That week though I saw that girl's name in the most hated witches column. Her name was Lucy Jackson. It said that after you "died" she lost her job and all of her social stasis in the world. I think she now works in a muggle shop where they don't know her history. No one really knows what happened to Krum. He disappeared after your funeral." Said Chelsea. "Wouldn't it be weird to go to your own funeral?"
"It's kind of funny really. I mean, you get to laugh at all the idiots who hated you and are no blubbering over you. I would die of laughter if I could see my arch nemesis crying over me when I'm not really dead." Said Mona smiling wickedly.
"Yeah, what was his name again? Dragon, Daren, Dan…" asked Taylor.
"It was Draco. Draco Malfoy. We hated each other, but I have to admit, he was so hot!" she said.
"What was that thing you said? Oh wait, I remember. 'Draco Malfoy was such an awful bastard and I hope he regrets any mean thing he ever said to me!' End quote." Said Megan grinning again.
"Yeah well, I can't help it. You would've had him in bed in no time, Taylor. I do remember hearing all around Hogwarts that he slept with over half of the seventh year girls." She said.
"Hey there is nothing wrong with being a slut, Miss Virgin!" said Taylor. "At least I have had sex before…"
"There isn't anything wrong with being a virgin either." Said Chelsea. "I'm no too ya know."
"Well I got to go anyway. Perdy and I have to start our run. Then I'm going to get ready for tonight. It's my singing night. I should go over a few songs. So I'll see you guys later." Said Mona as she walked out. The others stayed awhile, and then left. The only other person in the shop lowered his paper and looked around smirking. So the truth came out. Mona Cambell was actually Hermione Granger. The man's blue eyes looked at Mona's back as she walked down the street. He didn't know what it was about her. They always hated each other and the other women looked far more attractive, but his feelings came back to him. Coyotes… What about a coyotes? Wasn't there a famous bar somewhere here known for it's bar dancers? Was the famous bookworm really a wild coyote? Only one way to find out!
After finishing Mona and Perdy's daily run/walk, Mona decided to take a small break at home. She watched movies for the rest of the day. She hadn't felt so relaxed in weeks. She really had been working too hard. 'I think it might be time for a short break.' She thought as she watched the ending of Chicago. At 6, it was time to get ready. Mona had changed for her run. Her body had never been perfect, but Perdy needed a lot of exercise. So everyday, usually after dinner, Mona and Perdy would run. Today, however, they went earlier so Mona could relax the rest of the day. Now Mona's body was skinny, and her legs were long and silky. Taylor and Megan were much skinnier, but Mona didn't care. It was true, what Taylor had said. Mona hadn't slept with anyone yet. She had brought a few men home, but they just made out and they had forgotten each other by the next day.
Seven o' clock came and went. Mona jumped on her motorcycle and left. She didn't need a big car, and she had always loved riding bikes. Motorcycles were much cheaper too. She walked into the bar wearing the same pants, but now she wore a black shirt that hung off her shoulders. It had the letters "C M" printed in rhinestones on the side. They stood for Coyote Mona. All the coyotes had them specially made for them. Her hair was down and curly. Mona had come to love make-up. She wore dark red lipstick and dark blue eye shadow. This is what she was required to wear on Fridays since they were the busiest then. Tonight was her big singing night.
The night started out like any other. The older men came by as usual. Most of them left around 11 when the young hotties came. The bar closed at 3 in the morning. Happy hour was from 2 to 3. That was when Mona would sing. The coyotes were always on the bar then. Some went to dance on the small dance floor they had. Mona's night was going well. Many men had bought her some drinks, but she didn't accept any Miller. At about 1:30, a man with sexy blonde hair that was gelled back and a tall lean figure walked in and sat on a barstool. Mona, who happened to be right by, went to serve him.
"Hey hottie. I don't think I've seen you here before. You new here in town?" she asked in her regular bar voice, which was bright and inviting. It drove all the guys wild.
"Yep, I guess you could say I'm new here, but I know you've seen me before. We've known each other since you were 11." Said the stranger.
"Really. Interesting. Well sir, you've got my attention. But I must say, if you were that good looking, how the hell did I miss you?" she asked. "By the way, what do you want?"
"I'll have a beer. I don't know why you passed me up. Oh yeah, I remember. We hated each other. I feel sad that you don't remember me, Mudblood." He said in a smirk. That smirk. It hit Mona like a ton of bricks. She knew who he was now. Oh God!! How did he know she was here? He wasn't that smart even though he came right behind her in grades. Besides, they were never friends. How could he have recognized her?
"Nice to see you too, Malfoy." She answered in a cold voice.
"Is that any way to treat your old friend? I can't tell you how pleased I am to hear you say I was good looking. It makes me feel like the Slytherin Sex-God I am." Said Draco still smirking. 'What is up with that smirk?' she thought. 'Can't he just smile?'
"Trust me, if I had known who you were, then I would've ignored you completely. Now here's your beer. If you don't mind, I have to prepare. Good-bye!" she said looking straight into his eyes. Ohhh… his eyes. It was those ones she had dreamt about. They were even more gorgeous in the flesh. 'No no Mona. Shut-up!! I so don't think he's good looking. Okay, maybe a little. I'll give him that, but other than that, he hasn't changed at all. He still called me Mudblood. Great! Now he's going to tell everyone who I really am! I'm in some serious shit…" she thought as she ran to the back. Kristina and Chelsea saw her run and went after her. They found her in the back room shaking and shivering.
"Mona? Are you okay? You look like you just felt a ghost pass through you." Said Chelsea looking worried.
"I'm okay… it's just, remember that guy, my arch nemesis? Ya well, he's here and her recognized me! I'm totally screwed!!" said Mona as she began to pace.
"Where is he?" asked Kristina. Mona nodded her head toward him. She looked at him. "Hey, he's hot! Can I have him if you don't want him?"
"Kristina!! Mona needs our help. This is no time for flirting!" said Chelsea.
"Sorry." Mumbled Kristina. "Look, there's nothing we can do. Just ignore him. Oh look, he got up. Maybe he's leaving. C'mon Mona. You have to do your act. It's almost 2. Let's get this party started coyotes!" yelled Kristina as she walked out the door. Chelsea followed and so did Mona. It would be alright. She could do this. The clock struck 2, and Wyllie called for silence. "Alright people shut up! It's time to introduce our wet and wild coyotes of Coyote Ugly bar! Here's Coyote Chelsea!" Chelsea used a disappearing potion so that she could disappear and reappear on the dance floor. She immediately began to flirt with a guy there. "Coyote Kristina!" Kristina used her potion so that she was also on the dance floor. She then picked out a random guy and kissed him seductively. "Coyote Taylor!" Taylor appeared on the bar doing some very sexy moves. "Coyote Megan!" Megan also appeared on the bar. She and Taylor did a small double act dance, which made the men drool. "And now wolves and coyotes, give it up for our youngest and singer at Coyote Ugly bar… Coyote Mona!!" The crowd went wild as Mona appeared on the bar. The music started up and Mona began to sing.

The song ended, but Mona's dancing did not. She began to sing another song as she danced the night away. At the final song, Mona grew bored of just dancing. So during her last song of the night, which was Losing My Grip, she did something a little differently.
Why should I care?Cause you weren't there when I was scared
I was so alone
Yeah you need to listen
I'm starting to trip I'm losing my grip and I'm in this thing alone
Mona grabbed a beer bottle and shook it up. She opened it and sprayed it all over the crowd. They yelled and opened their mouths to let the beer come in. Kristina and Chelsea came and joined them on the bar. The other coyotes grabbed beer bottles and shot tem open. They all finished the song together.
Why should I care?If you don't care then I don't care
We're not going anywhere
"Goodnight everyone!" yelled the coyotes as the dropped their potion behind their backs. They disappeared into the back room.
"Wow! I'm going to sleep good tonight. I can't believe I did that!" said Mona as she fell back onto a storage back.
"Yeah that was totally awesome! Why didn't we think of that earlier? So what happened to the blonde? I saw you talking to him. Who was he because whoever he was, he was so damn hot!" said Megan looking bright and wide-awake.
"Don't even go there. I'll tell you guys about it tomorrow. We'll talk over pizza and poker. So where's Wyllie?" Asked Mona. At that moment, Wyllie came in looking blown away.
"Mona, that was excellent! The crowd is totally excited. They're about ready to break in here and make you do an encore! Sadly, the coyotes need there sleep so go home!" said Wyllie as she shoved their three hundred dollars into their hands as she walked out to the front again.
"I'm with her. Let's go." Said Chelsea as she headed out the back door. The others followed. Taylor, Chelsea, and Kristina went one way while Megan and Mona went out towards the alley at the back of the bar. They said their good-byes as Mona headed toward her motorcycle. She didn't even notice that Draco was sitting on a crate in the alley.
"I can't believe you just did that. What happened to you?" said Draco coming out of his hiding spot. Mona jumped at first, but relaxed a little when she saw it was only Draco. Nevertheless, Mona pulled out her wand just in case.
"Nothing happened. Why do you care any way?" she asked not bothering to stop.
"Why do I care? Why do I CARE? Let's see. First, you're supposed to be six feet under. Then I come here to the big city and find you alive. Am I missing something here? You asked me why I care. Well let's just say that I'm a little freaked out because you're dead and now you're not. I am really wondering why you are here. So, care to explain." He asked finally finishing and letting out a long sigh.
"No, I don't care to explain. You and I were enemies and nothing has changed. We'll leave it here and I'm going home. Good-bye!" she said over her shoulder.
"I can just walk with you. You're not getting away that easily. It's harder to get way from a Malfoy then just walking away. Hey, were did you go?" he asked as she disappeared into a shadow. "Hermione get your ass over here!" he yelled into the night. There was a loud rumble and headlights blinded Draco's eyes. "Ack!! What the hell is that?"
"See ya later Malfoy!" yelled Mona as she started to drive away. "Oh and my name's not Hermione anymore. They call me Mona, Coyote Mona!" And with that, Mona sped out of the alley leaving a dumbstruck Draco behind here.
A/N: So the parties over, but the story isn't. The songs weren't mine. Pink and Avirl Lanvine own them. I hope to update soon, but with school coming up again, I don't know if I can update quite as soon as I'd like to. Well, please read and review it!
Lots of Love,
