Coyote Ugly
Aloha readers and writers. I'm back for another chapter. Thanks sooooo much for all of your reviews! I finally got my email to work so I can answer your recent reviews. Okay, so I hope you liked the last chapter and that the kiss was enough for you. There will be more, I guarantee you. Here's the part that everyone has been asking about. Now let's get on with it.
Disclaimer- I don't own anything from Harry Potter. I think you should know that by now, but in case you didn't, I don't.
Chapter 8 Ginny's Arrival
The next two days passed quickly. Mona and Draco went out each night and fully enjoyed themselves. Pongo and Perdy became closer and the end of the dates were usually stopped with a very passionate kiss. It was finally the first of July, and Mona had just called the airport to find out if any planes from Britain were to arrive. When she found the time, she hailed a cab, and went to the airport.
The airport was very busy that morning. It seemed as though Ginny's plane would never land, and she didn't even know if Ginny was on that plane. Maybe Ginny forgot about her. Maybe she just didn't care. Besides, who knows what Ginny would think of her? What would she say about her new look? What if Ginny called her a slut (which was Taylor's title) and never wanted to talk to her. Then the announcer announced that flight 635 to Chicago from England had landed. Mona went to the exit and stood by as the passengers got off. She looked around for a woman with bright red hair. None of them fit the description. 'Maybe it's better this way…' Mona thought. Then the last passenger got off. The woman was tall and pretty with a strange glow that's seemed to surround her. Mona knew it was here at once.
"Ginny?" she asked cautiously. The woman spun around and looked at her carefully.
"Hermione? Is it really you?" she asked tears welling up in her eyes. Mona nodded vigorously and rushed to hug her friend. Tears fell freely down Ginny's cheeks as she embraced her long lost friend. They broke apart for Ginny to get a good look at her. "Wow. You sure have changed. Your hair is curly and blonde. My God, what are you wearing? A tank top and tight pants? What have you been doing?" asked Ginny. She wasn't mad or upset. She seemed curious and amused by Mona's new look.
"First off, it's not Hermione any more. Now it's Mona. Mona Cambell. I missed you so much, Ginny. You have no idea." Said Mona as she braced her friend again.
"It's okay. I'm here now. You have to tell me everything about you now. Leave nothing out." Said Ginny taking Mona's hand and leading her toward baggage claim. They got her stuff, got a cab, and drove off toward Mona's house. Mona led Ginny in and introduced her to Perdy, who became Ginny's friend immediately. Then after fixing a daiquiri and some chips, they sat down to talk.
"So, tell me everything. I missed you so much. You missed everything. You better have been doing something good." Said Ginny smiling playfully.
"Actually… you're going to find this strange and hard to believe, but… I'm a coyote." Said Mona very fast.
"Uh hu, and that would be… wait! No! Not thee coyotes! The bar dancers that are known to all single men alive? You can't be. It's impossible." Said Ginny looking at her in disbelief.
"Um yeah, that would be me. Please don't kill me." She pleaded.
"I won't kill you. I'm just surprised. You were once the smartest witch known to wizard-kind. What made you change like that?" And so Mona launched into her story about her first month, meeting the coyotes, her new wardrobe, and her profession. Ginny stayed quiet and listen attentively. The only part Mona left out was Draco. She had come to really like Draco. Sure, he could be a real prat sometimes, but it was funny. He made her laugh and she liked it that way. Who knows how Ginny would take it. That whole slut thing came back and Mona shuddered a little. She sighed as she finished her long story. Ginny sat there for a minute staring at Mona before she spoke.
"Well, I don't hate you. It's just weird, but you seem to be happier than you ever were so I'm happy for you, Mona." Said Ginny smiling. Mona relaxed a little. Now she wanted to hear all about Ginny.
"What about you? You haven't said anything about yourself. What happened to you and Harry? How are Harry, Ron, and the rest of your family? I haven't stopped thinking about you guys since the day I left." Said Mona tearing up. Ginny blushed a little.
"Well, Harry and I still got married, but it wasn't the same without you. Ron designs racing brooms. He's very devoted so I don't think he'll ever marry. Let's see… Fred and George are multi- galleon airs from their joke shop. Bill has moved to Rome to wok for Gringots. Charlie is still in Romania with his wife, Jackie, and their three kids. Percy is still an outcast in our family. He was still too cowardly to come back and ask my dad for forgiveness. Oh, and I have a son." Said Ginny finishing up rather quickly with a smile on her face.
"What!!" yelled Mona as she spit her drink out all over the floor. She turned back to the smiling Ginny.
"Yep. His name Matt and he's two. Look, here's a picture." Said Ginny as she rummaged through her purse for her wallet. She pulled it out and flipped it open. There was Harry, Ginny, and a little baby boy standing in front of a house looking very happy. Mona beamed down at them.
"Ohh Ginny, he's gorgeous. He looks so much like Harry, but he has your eyes. Oh my God. Harry looks so much different. It's like he's taller and oh he still has his glasses although these ones fit him much better." Observed Mona. She handed the picture back to Ginny and sighed again.
"You okay?" asked Ginny gripping her friend's shoulder.
"Yeah, I just wish I could've been there for Matt's birth and your wedding. I missed so much and I just wish I could go back…" said Mona as she trailed off.
"Mona, it's okay. Don't try to rewrite the past. Believe me, it only makes you more depressed. Do you have to work tonight?" Mona's face lit up.
"Yeah, and you're going with me. You can meet the coyotes and Wyllie. We'll have so much fun tonight. Maybe you can join us?"
"No way! There's no way I'm getting up on that bar. I'm married and I have a child. I'll watch."
"Okay. We're trying something new. It's going to be a country night. C'mon it's time to go. We'll ride my Harley." Said Mona as she led a stunned Ginny out the door.
They arrived at Coyote Ugly to meet the coyotes outside.
"Hi guys. Meet my friend, Ginny. She's the only one from Britain who knows about my little charade. Well, almost…"
"Almost?" questioned Ginny, but she was cut off. The coyotes swarmed around here and they began to talk.
"Hang on, let me introduce everyone. Alright, this is Chelsea. That's Kristina. Over there is Taylor, our bar slut as she is proud to say. And that's Megan or Meg. Let's go in. We're quite a happy hour to prepare for." Said Mona as they walked in. After introducing Wyllie to Ginny, the night began. Ginny sat behind the bar and joked around with the coyotes as well as the customers, but she didn't drink. Finally, Draco walked in and sat down.
"Hey Coyote." He said.
"Hi Draco. The usual?" Asked Mona smirking.
"I thought we would wait until you were off." Said Draco returning the smirk.
"Ha, ha, ha. I can't anyway. Ginny's finally arrived." She said lowering her voice.
"Okay, okay. Just tell her soon. I want to go out again." He said in a fake pout. Mona got him a beer and went over to Ginny.
"So Malfoy knows about this?" she asked. Mona stopped dead.
"How did you know?" she asked guiltily.
"I'm not deaf you know. How the hell did he find out? You could tell him, but not Harry or Ron." Asked Ginny looking mad.
"No, no, no." she began, but Wyllie cut her off with the announcement of happy hour. "Look, I'll explain later. Trust me, I didn't tell him before I left. He overheard a conversation and found out. I gotta go. Just watch and enjoy yourself." Said Mona as she used her potion to disappear.
"Okay coyotes and wolves, its happy hour with a country twist. Give it up for our coyotes!!!" yelled Wyllie. The song started up, the coyotes started to dance, and Mona began to sing.
I'm going out tonight- I'm feelin' alrightGonna let it out
Wanna make some noise- really raise my voice
Yeah, I wanna scream and shout
No inhibitions- make no conditions
Get a little outta line
I ain't gonna act politically correct
I only want to have a good time
The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun and…
Oh, oh, oh go totally crazy- forget I'm a lady
Men's shirts- short shirts
Oh, oh, oh really go wild- yeah, doin' it in style
Oh, Oh, Oh get in the action- feel the attraction
Color my hair- do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh I wanna be free- yeah feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman.
The girls need a break- tonight we're gonna take
The chance to get out on the town
We don't need romance- we only want to dance
We're gonna let out hair hang down
The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun and…
Oh, oh, oh go totally crazy- forget I'm a lady
Men's shirts- short skirts
Oh, oh, oh really go wild- yeah, doin' in style
Oh, Oh, Oh get in the action- feel the attraction
Color my hair- do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh I wanna be free- yeah feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!
The best thing about being a woman

I get totally crazy
Can you feel it?
Come, come on baby
I feel like a woman
Like always, the bar burst into appaulse. The coyotes moved on until the end. Everyone had finally gone home, and Mona and Ginny were walking to Mona's motorcycle. They weren't talking at all. Finally, Ginny couldn't stand it.
"Mona, I'm sorry. I should've known that you wouldn't have said anything to Malfoy about leaving. You were really good tonight, and maybe Malfoy's attitude has changed slightly. Just be careful. You're still my best friend by far."
"Oh Ginny. Don't worry about me. I'm okay really. I guess I've found a new side to Draco, and I like it."
"Aww thanks Mona. I'm touched." Said Draco as he emerged out of the shadows. Ginny jumped and pulled out her wand, but put it away when she saw who it was.
"Shut up you prat." Said Mona with another smirk.
"I know you're busy, but do you want to go for a quick walk tomorrow. That is, if Miss Weasley here will let you come out and play."
"That's Mrs. Potter to you, and yes. Go ahead, but be home in time for supper." Said Ginny in a mock motherish voice. Mona gave Draco a quick kiss on the lips.
"We'll continue this tomorrow." She murmured as she and Ginny rode away on the motorcycle.
A/N: Pirates of the Caribbean just finished and I'm done with this chapter. Wow, only three hours to type this thing. It wasn't that exciting, but it had to be done. The song is Shania Twain's so I don't own it. So until next time. Thanks again!
Lots of Love,
RonFan
