I am so sorry for the delay everyone! I had major issues with Writers
block, and lazyness lol. That and Spring Break was crazy... so many things
happened. Okay, so read and review! Oh yea, and I don't own any of the
songs... they belong to Outkast and Nsync, even though the one I made up
myself....
The great hall had been transformed since that morning. The normal 4 house tables were gone, and instead there were about a dozen round tables with chairs around them. Each table had a deep blue table cloth on it, with confetti on it saying "Congrats" There was a big dance floor in the middle, and above the staff table, there was a huge banner with the Lion, Serpent, Badger, and the Eagle on it, and saying "Good Bye Class of '97" There looked to be something of a stage near the staff table. Perhaps Dumbledore had arranged a band for this dance, but Harry did not know.
Harry was immediately reminded of the Yule ball and cringed, but quickly reminded himself that this time was going to be a lot more fun. They sat themselves down at table number 4, with Neville, Luna, Pavarti, and Seamus.
Dumbledore cleared his throat loudly, to get everyone's attention. "Ladies, and gentlemen, It is my pleasure to announce.... The Weird Sisters!"
A punk rock band entered the stage followed by people that were carrying drum sets and amplifiers to plug their guitars in.
After the setting up was complete, the lead singer, a young women in her 20's with green streaks in her hair, yelled, "1,2, and 1,2,3!"
"You were right underneath my wand the whole time,
I think I must of been hit with a conjunctivitis spell, because I didn't see,
That you were the one for me..."
"That is a pretty good song," said Hermione.
"yea, maybe I'll go buy their CD next time I find myself in Hogsmeade." Said Harry.
"Come on Ron, lets dance!, begged Hermione. Ron shrugged. They went out on the dance floor.
Hermione was a pretty good dancer; she was keeping the rhythm, but Ron looked like he had a caterpillar stuck in his pants, and was trying wildly to get it unstuck. Hermione tried to ignore the fact that the guy she liked was completely horrible at dancing, but she couldn't help but smile a big goofy grin.
Ginny and Harry did not dance, but instead laughed for a few minutes at Ron's wiggle.
After a few songs, the Weird Sisters left (much to everyone displeasure) but with the promise of returning later on in the dance. In their place, came a DJ. It turns out that he was a squib, so he knew all of the latest Muggle songs, along with songs from their world.
Hermione got very excited upon hearing this. "Ooooh! There is this one song that I absolutely love, I need to request it!"
She ran up to the DJ, and said a few words. The DH nodded, and got out a CD. Hermione came back and gushed, "I just had to do that, it is the most popular song right now in the muggle world."
Just then, loud music started to fill the great hall:
1,2,3,4! My Baby don't mess around, because she loves me so, and this I know for sho. But does she really want me, but can't stand to see me walk out that door...
"Hey! Harry exclaimed. "I know this song! Dudley has their CD, and I had to overhear it all summer. I think it is Outkast."
"This has got an awesome tune!" Ginny chimed in. "Come one everyone, lets DANCE!" screamed Hermione.
HEY YA.... HEY YA....HEY YA..... You think you got, oh you think you got it, But got it just don't get it, till there is nothing at AaaaaaaaAAAAAAAaaaaaaAAAAAAaaaaaallllll
We get together
Ohh, we get together
but separates always better when there's feelings
InvooooooOOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOooooooOOOOOlved
They spent the next few minutes listening to popular muggle songs, acting like there was no care in the world. No worries, and trying to ignore the fact that they would be leaving their home away from home, the very next morning.
As the sun started to sink lower and lower into the orange and pink sky, the party seemed to hit an all time high. Everyone was attempting to do muggle dances like the Macarena, the electric slide, and the chicken dance. In the middle of the electric slide, Harry got confused on which way to "slide", and he bumped right into Ginny, causing almost everyone else to fall in the great hall. It was like one big chain of dominos!
"Harry!" Ginny tried to say, but she was so overcome with laughter that it sounded like this: HarrreEEeeEE! "Why did you have to do that??? You're supposed to go to the left, not to the right!" She playfully slapped his arm.
Harry was hardly paying attention. Instead, he was thinking about this stunning red headed girl, by his side. He felt his stomach do the familiar flip flop, the one that usually meant, that he was falling for someone.
"Harry... Harrrrryyyy.. Are you there?" Ginny asked. Harry was just staring into space, at some point around her forehead. She had no idea what he was thinking, but he seemed to be miles away, past the Atlantic ocean.
Harry's thoughts were interrupted by a large hand obscuring his vision. Ginny was waving her hand in front of his face. He looked around and realized that the both of them were still on the ground, and were receiving looks from some students. He dusted off his pants, and helped Ginny up.
Just on time, a slow song came on. Couples started moving closer together. Harry and Ginny looked at each other, and blushed. Ginny started to say "well, um, I'll just go back to our table—
"Oh no you don't, you're dancing with me. I want everyone to know that you are mine tonight" He blushed even harder. He was sure he looked like a tomato right at that moment. "Why did you have to go and say that?" He thought to him self. "Now, she is going to go and think that you like her." But a little nagging voice in the back of his brain whispered "Oh but you do, you've liked her for a while, but you never realized it..."
Harry shook his head clear of his conscience, and took Ginny's hand, and pulled her close. She rested her head in between his shoulder and head. Harry felt a lump in his throat beginning to appear.
The song was "This I promise you", by Nsync. Harry was well aware that it was a popular slow dance song, and the words seemed to fit perfectly to what he was thinking about Ginny right now.
When the visions around you Bring tears to your eyes And all that surround you Are secrets and lies
I'll be your strength I'll give you hope Keeping you faith when it's gone The one you should call Was standing there all along.....
Harry loved all of his friends dearly, but he had gotten really close with Ginny, ever since their fifth year. All that he had put her through, because of Voldemort. And now that he was gone forever, all he wanted to do was protect her. He had suffered more losses after Sirius, but he didn't want to think about them now. He was here to have fun. He wanted to make this moment last forever, by remembering Ginny, and not how he lost loved ones.
And that's when it hit him... he liked Ginny, more then a friend that is. He just smiled, and pulled her close. Even though he couldn't see her face, he felt her smile into his neck.
He glanced around. He got a glimpse of Ron and Hermione, and they clearly looked like they were captured in the moment as well. Harry smiled again. He tapped Ginny on the shoulder, and pointed her in the direction of the smiling couple. They were in each other's arms, just gazing into each other's eyes, not noticing anyone around them.
"Well, it only took them about 7 years." Ginny pointed out. Harry laughed. Everyone thought that they were going to get together in their 6th year, but the both of them were just to embarrassed to make the first move.
Just for no reason at all, Harry checked his watch. 5:55. He sighed, the dance was almost over. Well, at least it was a perfect ending. After the slow song ended, Dumbledore dismissed everyone, with 15 minutes to get dressed in their school robes for the farewell feast.
In the common room, before they had to go their separate stairways, Ginny looked into Harry's eyes and said "I had a really good time last night... I.. I wish it wouldn't have ended."
Before Harry got a chance to speak, Ginny kissed him on the cheek, then scrambled up the stairs, with her dress rustling loudly.
Harry smiled to himself. He ran up the stairs, 2 at a time, with his cheek still burning....
