A/N: thanks for the reviews and sorry about the HTML (this one had HTML before I edited it.evidently it wasn't showing up.) Since the HTML isn't working the song lyrics are in surrounded by *'s and thoughts and emphasis are surrounded by _'s. Also about the grammar mistakes terribly sorry I'll try to correct them in the edited version of this chapter.

Rumors had spread about Hermione and Draco courtesy of Lavender Brown and Parvarti Patil. And the rumors had reached Neville Longbottom, and his wheels were spinning. _Hermione liked it when Draco danced.so she likes guys who dance well._ Neville smiled. he had an idea.



The Next Morning.



Neville fumbled with his wand in the crowded Great Hall. He was trying to remember the spell he had studied constantly last night. Finally, after what seemed like forever, it dawned on him. He jumped up and said nervously.

"Give me moves that are extra snappy Make my feet extremely happy!" he then moved over to a stereo that he had brought down earlier and pressed play. The music filled the room playing.

*Just a still town girl on a Saturday night, lookin' for the fight of her life

In the real-time world no one sees her at all, they all say she's crazy*

A shout from the Ravenclaw table that sounded like "Hey where'd that music come from?" was heard as Neville got up on top of the table and tapped his feet to the music.

*Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart, changing woman into life

She has danced into the danger zone, when a dancer becomes a dance

It can cut you like a knife, if the gift becomes the fire

On a wire between will and what will be*



Neville did a turn then started singing and dancing.

*She's a maniac, maniac on the floor

And she's dancing like she's never danced before

She's a maniac, maniac on the floor

And she's dancing like she's never danced before*

Harry, Ron, and Hermione's mouths were all opened in shock. "What does he think he's doing?" Hermione hissed. Harry and Ron both shrugged.



Neville stopped singing for a minute to shout, "You want dancing Hermione? _I'll_ show you dancing!" Then started up again.

*On the ice-build iron sanity is a place most never see

It's a hard warm place of mystery, touch it, but can't hold it

You work all your life for that moment in time, it could come or pass you by

It's a push of the world, but there's always a chance

If the hunger stays the night

There's a cold connective heat, struggling, stretching for defeat

Never stopping with her head against the wind*

"Shake what you're momma gave ya!" Seamus Finnigan shouted from a seat nearby, evidently he was enjoying the show. At his request Neville shook his bottom, still singing:

*She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know

And she's dancing like she's never danced before

She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know

And she's dancing like she's never danced before*

Neville gave one last shake of his bottom, shouted, "I'm a maniac!" and got down, his feet still tapping. Back at the Slytherin table a boy with slicked back blond hair said in a loud, drawling voice, "Now I know why they call him Longbottom," and with that the Great Hall erupted into laughter.
