Rock Me

KNIGHT BUS FUN!
'NO-HO-HOOOO way am I getting on that thing' Said Hermione as she glimpsed the sheer size of the three story bus.
'Aww, come ON!' Said Ron, exasperated once again.
'I get bus sick!'
Harry took Hermione by the shoulders and directed her onto the purple bus. 'You'll be fine.' He said, giving her a gentle push. 'Stan'll take care of you, won't you, Stan?'
The strangeman came at the call of his name.
'Oh 'ell if it isn' 'Arry Potter! You ere' said you was Neville Longbottom! I knew I was onna something when I saw that scar a' yours!'
'Err . . .right.' Said Harry, blushing at the disapproving look Hermione had given him.
'Somebody going to introduce us?' Said the bushy haired girl (which was, by the way, straightened and pulled back into a tight high-pony.)
'Oooh . . .yes.' Said Harry, realising his lack of manners. 'This is Stan . . .err . . .'
'Just Stan.' bellowed the bus driver who harry remembered to be called 'Ern. After this the driver gave a harsh, sickening growl of a cough which no doubt made Hermione fear for her safety even more than she was already.
'My friends Ron and Hermione, also at Hogwarts.'
'Awww yeah. You is lucky kids, you is. Never went to a school . . .learned from me grandmother . . .old bat she is. She's, I believe, 85 this June, got a mop of hair on er' she does . . .'
Hermione and Ron tried to look interested and smile encouragingly but Harry waved them over to a seat by the back corner of the bus and the three left Stan to rable to himself.
'YOU GOIN' TO THE CONCERT 'ALL, THEN?' Ern bellowed from the front of the bus.
'Yes.' Ron screamed back down the bus, which was very long for a bus. Harry had specifically gotten a seat at the back to be as far away from Stan and Ern as possible.
As the bus began to move, the trio giggled, which turned into straight laughing, which turned into hysterics.
None of them knew what they were laughing about, but Harry suspected it was excitement and nerves for the concert that was so close, they could almost touch it.
::Half an hour later::
'NO FAIR! YOU SUNK MY BATTLESHIP!' Screamed Ron, so the whole bus could hear. Ron was obsessed with the muggle game that Harry had brought along. He'd stolen it from the muggle studies staffroom in his first year and forgotten to give it back.
'This game is the COOLEST!' Ron said. 'Attention, all passengers, please remain calm, the ship is under siege . . .'
Hermione laughed. 'Number one,' she said, 'How can a ship possibly be under siege?! And number two, we're there.'
Harry brethed a sigh of relief and Ron let out a sigh.
'But I was just getting really good at it!'
