A Travel Through Time: Ginny Concert

Disclaimers: I do not own the Asian Characters (Ranma ½, by Rumiko Takahashi) or Chips and Loafers (Artemis Fowl, by Eoin Colfer). Oh, and of course I don't own Harry Potter! (I wish I did, though...

And again, I apologize for the lateness. I'm working on an Inuyasha fic, and that one I am not posting until I mostly complete it since I am such a lazy writer. Anyway, I wrote a pretty long chapter- in my opinion, anyway. Sorry if it's not very good. --;; I'm also trying to get to know my new Japanese keyboard... it's absolutely terrible. The keys have changed so I can't type very fast. Well, enjoy the story and review!

"1034 packs… 1035 packs…"

Yes, poor James was still stranded in the middle of nowhere- ahem, in the middle of bubble gum. He vaguely tried to remember how many hours- or days he'd been sitting there predicting the number of bubble gum packs like an idiot.

"1046 packs… 1047 packs…"

He wondered how he had even come to the 1000 digits. He'd started off from thinking that the whole building was made of 10 packs, and now he was starting to think it had been made out of over 500 packs. Was he more stupid when he first began counting, or was he getting stupider by the minute?

Remus' voice echoed in his head. "There's no such word as 'stupider', Prongs."

Since he was making up words again, he supposed he was getting stupider- ahem, more stupid- by the minute. The number of bubble gum packs he counted was probably the number of brain cells he'd lost at the bubble gum chamber.

"1063 packs… 1062 packs…"

"1062 comes before 1063, you dink."

Startled by the new voice that had joined him at the chambers, he curiously looked up.

Who met him, however, was a stranger instead of Professor Granger or Evans who should have come to rescue him a long, long time ago.

But as he squinted his eyes to get a better look at the stranger, James recognized the black pigtail- the guy who had ran over Voldie!

"Mmmm mrrrr!" James cried out.

"Pardon?" The pigtail guy asked knitting his eyebrows. "Speak English, please. Or Japanese. Whichever language you speak. Nihonngo shaberi masuka?"

Then, noticing James stuffed mouth, he reached over and plucked it off of his mouth in a less then gentle manner.

"Hey, you're the guy who ran over Voldie!" James blurted out immediately once he was free.

The pigtail boy raised his eyebrows. "I don't know any 'Voldie', whoever that is."

"Remember the guy you ran over with all those crazy other people chasing after you?" James asked excitedly. This was way cool. He was talking to the person who had run over Voldie!

"Nope. I've ran over so many people this week, I don't remember who I ran over." The pigtail boy informed him.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, you're sitting on the hole leading to the only way out."

James looked at him confusedly. "What are you talking about? There's no way out. Except if you know apparition. Do you?" he asked hopefully.

"Yes, there is a way out. And I don't do this apparition thing. What the hell is it, anyway?"

He gawked. "What? You don't know apparition?"

"No, and I don't want to know what it is, either. Now just get out of the way before they come after me again." The pigtail boy snapped at him.

"What? Who's after-"

But James never got to find out who was coming after the pigtail boy, because just then, all hell broke loose from the black hole similar to the one from the kidnapping session.

And all chorused one word: "RANMAAAAAAAA!"

"Hey Lily, why do you smell like bubble gum? And why were you late for dinner?"

It was dinner time back at Hogwarts, and Lily was angrily stabbing at her fish with a fork. Bella, seeing Lily's strange mood, seemed very curious.

"I don't know. Maybe it's because someone trapped me in a chamber where it rained bubble gum." Lily replied grumpily.

Bella, not realizing that the statement was actually true, giggled and said, "Oh, it would be wonderful if you got trapped in a room alone with that Professor Granger. He might fall in love with one of us." She burst into another fresh wave of giggles.

Lily rolled her eyes. "Professor Granger isn't that good, you know. He's just young and is a bit of a hottie. That's all. He's really immature in the inside. Believe me; you would not want to get stuck in a room along with that professor."

Suddenly, Bella gave a loud shriek attracting many peoples attention. "Oh, my god! You were actually trapped in a room along with the Professor???"

Unfortunately, Bella said that in a rather loud voice, causing many people to look their way and several girls to throw dirty glances at Lily.

Lily elbowed her friend. "Shut up! Yes, I was, but there was nothing 'romantic' about it since Potter was there too."

This statement caused Bella to shriek again. "Oh my god! You were trapped in a room with Professor Granger AND James Potter???"

Now the girls were throwing daggers at Lily.

"I said SHUT UP!" she hissed, trying to ignore the murderous looks. "I want to avoid homicide if possible, you know. I still haven't had a chance to have a life."

Bella asked, excitedly, "So you were? How was it like? Did they make any moves on you? I mean, two to one in the boys' favors aren't really appropriate, are they?"

"Oh, Professor just watched us struggling to get out of the bubble gum filled chamber while he just relaxed and read a magazine." She said frowning. "He insisted that it was Survival Lessons or something. But I don't think we'll ever get stuck in a situation where we are trapped in a chamber with a lot of bubble gum and one bubble head. It isn't pleasant at all, though."

"Oh, Lily, you just don't know how luck you are to have experienced such a valuable experience. Any sane girl would have loved to get trapped in a room with two hotties! You just don't appreciate them enough."

Tired with the argument, Lily sighed and picked up a knife instead. "Whatever."

Just as she said it, the knife accidentally slipped from her fingers and landed somewhere near a ranting Sirius. ("I am telling you, Remus, there is something weird going on. I think it has to do with that professor and Evans and bubble gum.")

WHOOSH

"Ack!" Sirius jumped, and stared at the knife sticking out of the table in front of him. "I'm being attaaaaacked!!!" He cried in mock horror, pulling the knife out. "Now who's could this be?" He asked innocently to a couple of people sitting by him.

When he realized that he was being ignored by everyone except a wide-eyed Peter, he sighed and said, "Oh well, I guess this belongs to someone from the other table."

The knife accidentally slipped from Sirius' fingers as well, and went flying towards the Slytherin table- or rather, towards a certain greasy haired Slytherin.

There was a swish as Lily's knife narrowly missed Snape's hand. Sirius gave an innocent look. "Oops, my bad."

This earned him a murderous glare from Snape. Not that he wasn't use to it. Sirius was usually glared by Snape, the professors of Hogwarts, and a few other people he couldn't quite possibly name all.

BANG

"Heeeeeeeeeeeeeelp!!!"

Simon came running into the hall screaming his head off. He had a look of pure horror on his face, and was running for his life.

He obviously could not see where he was going, as he crashed right into the mashed potato bowl on the Hufflepuff table, causing a few innocent girls to scream.

"Mr. Kubo!" Dumbledore said astonished, looking up from his dinner.

BANG

"SIMON! YOU ARE IN BIG, BIG TROUBLE!"

All the people at the hall had gone silent, and were staring at either their mashed potato covered Professor or the livid new person.

Well, not really new. It was their fellow Professor Granger (The male one, of course). They seemed to be seeing a lot of the pair screaming and kicking and fighting lately.

Harry stalked over to Simon, jerked his head off of the bowl, and snarled, "What- have- I- told- you- about- camping- out- in- the- kitchens?"

Simon gulped. This was not looking good. He'd had no idea that the news about the éclairs would circulate so fast-!

"Wook, Hawwy, wai kan isplain!" He spluttered, spitting out mashed potatoes from his mouth as he spoke.

Harry instantly let go of his head disgustedly. "Ew. Don't spit on MY cloak!" He dusted off his cloak, including a couple tidbits of mashed potato. "Now let's see if you can explain well enough, and I just might decide to spare your front teeth."

"Weh, ou shee, I gosh kished aot sho I deshided to shtay at the kishen." Simon tried to explain- although it was almost impossible to decode his unfamiliar language, what with his full mouth and all. Lily was vaguely reminded of James sitting on the floor trying to talk with a mouthful of bubblegum.

And then she remembered. "OH MY GOD! We forgot Potter!" She shrieked, slamming her hand on the table and violently standing up.

Now all eyes were on Lily instead. Her face slowly began turning red as they all looked at her curiously. She quickly sat down and began stabbing her already-stabbed-to-death fish again, keeping her face down.

Bella leaned over and whispered to her, ignoring the stares, "What's this about forgetting a certain Potter?"

"Um. Nothing."

"No, really. I mean, it's a little weird, isn't it, suddenly saying that you forgot Potter. Did you lock him up in a closet a week ago and forgot to let him out or something?"

"Um. No."

"Oh, come on. I'm your best friend, you can tell me!"

"Um. No thanks."

"Li-LY! I've done so much for you, and yet you can't answer a simple question questioned by a life long friend?"

"Um, excuse me? Life long?"

However, Lily was saved from the annoying questions when some action began at the professors again.

"What? Speak more CLEARLY!" Harry snapped, shaking his fist in Simon's face. "I want a GOOD explanation! Do you know how much trouble I got into because of stupid little old you?"

He gulped again. "Fohgib meh, Hawwy. Pwease, I idint nyo! I'll du anyshing foh you!"

Harry laughed evilly. "Oh yes, you'll be doing a LOT for me from now on."

BAM

"Haaaarrrrrrrry!" Ginny came barreling in, waving something... was that a pink and fluffy boom box?

"Where in the world did you get this totally lame boom box?" She said, giggling, oblivious to the silence and stares she was getting.

Harry's head was slowly turning redder, or pinker. Simon momentarily forgotten, he dropped his head and glared at Ginny.

"What in Merlin's name are you doing with MY boom box?" He snapped, striding over to Ginny and trying to snatch it from her grasp.

Twirling around, Ginny avoided getting the pink boom box caught. "No way, my CD is in there."

Simon finally got up in interest. "Really? What do you have in there? Knowing you, it's probably Brittany Spears or something even worse-"

He was quickly quieted when Ginny slammed a bowl full of mashed potatoes on his head. "No." She snapped. "It is not Brittany Spears. It's something old I dug up from Harry's treasure box."

"Ooh, you have a treasure box?" Simon asked excitedly. "What was in there, Ginny?"

This caused her to burst into giggles. "Oh, I found a few interesting things." She said in a sing song voice, Harry's face getting redder still. "Like a picture of a certain Cho-"

"AHEM."

"Let's get on with business. Now why do you have my boom box? And when did I give you permission to dig through my personal things?" Harry snarled.

Sirius- the younger one- leaned over to Remus. "Wonder who Cho is?"

"Oh c'mon Harry, what important thing could you have possibly had in your possessions? I found a good CD anyway."

"Wait- you don't mean-"

"Yes, I found ATeens!" Ginny said triumphtly, raising the boom box prize fighter style.

"NO WAY are you playing that in my boom box. That's a girly CD." Harry scoffed, lunging for his boom box again.

"It is NOT a girly CD! It's a good CD! See?"

And before Harry could utter another word, she pressed the dreaded play button.

There was silence.

For one fleeting moment, Harry thought that perhaps the boom box was broken- if it was, he was going to sue Ginny a couple hundred gallions.

Then again, the CD might have been broken. That would be a plus plus plus.

And then-

"Up, upside down!"

Harry collapsed onto the floor groaning. So it wasn't- he should have left a few more scratches on the shiny side of the CD.

He looked up, and, to his utter horror, Ginny had produced a mike by sticking a round ball of cheese onto a pair of chopsticks and was standing on the Gryffindor table, dancing and singing.

"My grades are down,

from A's to D's,

I'm way behind in history,

I've lost myself in fantasies,

Of you and me togeeeeeeeeeeeeeeether!"

By now, Harry had slapped his hands on his forehead and sunk down further onto the floor from embarrassment. Ginny was thoroughly enjoying the attention, students were cat calling and hooting.

Simon leaned back and relaxed, now that he had nothing to worry about. He looked over to Harry, and saw him muttering, "Oh yes, we're WAY behind history alright."

"I don't know why-yi-yi

But dreaming's all I do

I won't get by-yi-yi

On mere imaginaaaaaaaaaaaaaaation!"

It was practically a miny Ginny concert. She had on a brilliant smile, and was prancing around, dancing to the music. But Ginny was a young 21, an age close to all the 7th years at Hogwarts. Which was why many males, ranging from 11 to 18 years old, we're trying desperately to reach their dear sub professor.

This was a particularly upsetting sight for Harry. Of course, Harry's heart was supposed to belong to dear Cho Chang. But that didn't mean he wanted Ginny to be desired by many single (or not) souls.

"Upside down, bouncing off the ceiling

Inside out, stranger to this feel-"

"SILENCIO!"

An immediate hush feel over the hall, all murderous eyes on the intruder who had ruined the show.

Which was, of course, Harry.

Ginny glared at Harry, frowning. "What are you, bothing my concert?"

"Yeah, why do YOU care?" demanded a 6th year.

He had no idea why he cared, actually. It was just a brotherly kind of protectiveness, much like Ron, he hoped. Yeah. He was a substitute Ron.

"I'm just completing my duty as- as- Ron's best friend!" Harry argued indignantly.

"Well, don't you spoil my fun, I'm finally free from Ron's protectiveness, so I'll do as I please!"Ginny snapped back. "I don't need another Ron."

"Ginny!" Harry scolded. "Be sensible. What would you're mother say?"

"Bah. Now you're pulling a Hermione." Ginny turned around and smiled at the angry, impatient audience. "Now, we shall go back to the show! Let's get another tune."

And the dreaded play button was pressed once again.

"Half way 'round the world..."

Harry groaned once again. His sweet pink dear boom box was causing much more trouble then he'd expected.

"Baby I will soon be leaving

and I know that you are feeling down,"

The audience gave a huge cheer as Ginny started. Even the girls looked immensely interested.

So, not being able to stand it anymore, Harry sucked in his breath, ready to scream "SILENCIO!" again.

"Stop it, Harry, let everyone have some fun for once." Sirius hissed, pulling Harry to him. "You know Ginny's dream was to become a singer since 5th year when she lost all her shyness."

Harry blinked. "She wanted to become a SINGER?"

This was ridiculous. But then again, nothing was not ridiculous, weird, or strange these days.]

"Well, that's not stopping me." Harry declared. And once again, he sucked in his breath, ready to scream-

He never got a chance.

Oh, relax, he didn't get killed by all the Ginny fans.

Nope. He just got run over by a bunch of rather familiar people. The same people who had run over Voldemort earlier.

Now THIS stopped the concert for sure. All heads whipped towards the hoard, looking overwhelmed. Ginny looked extremely bummed that her concert had been interruped twice. "Go away, all you evil people!" She screamed, but just as she said it-

"JAMES?!"

"POTTER?!"

Two voice rang through the hall, each sounding extremely shocked.

"Since when did you join the running over commity, Potter?" Lily said looking slightly amused.

"Man, Prongs, what the hell happened to you?" Sirius asked, sniggering.

But no one paid attention to them- for the strange Asian's we're now screaming a strange language, and running around the hall swinging various dangerous looking weapons.

Harry groaned, raising his head from the hold his body had created on the ground, miserably holding his broken glasses. "You people are ridiculous." He snapped, and took out his wand.

"Out. Deteike!" He snapped at the strange people, who were busy chasing a certain pig tailed boy. The boy had a firm grip on James cuff, and was swinging him around while he tried to avoid their blows. "I'd love to, except THEY WON'T LET ME!" The pig tailed boy screamed back at Harry.

The other 8 people and 1 black pig all lunged at the pigtailed boy. "SURRENDER!"

"NEVER!" He yelled back, and, still slinging a screaming James, he skillfully hopped table from table, avoiding the swords, bombs, and other dangerous looking weapons.

Harry groaned. "This is a SCHOOL! You insane people!"

A single girl with short blue hair had stayed back from the chase with a pissed off expression on her face. "Oh, they always do this at school." She said vaguely, frowning deeply.

Simon raised an eyebrow. "What kind of life do they have over there in Japan?"

"A pissed off life." The blue haired girl snapped at him.

Just then, a sickening crack echoed through the hall; they'd managed to break Hogwarts property. At this, Harry panicked greatly. "Stop! STOP! DO NOT DESTROY THE BUILDING!"

"Let me help!" A rather familiar looking 3rd year cried, raising his wand. "I'm rather experienced, you know. People rely on me greatly at times like this. Gilderoy Lockhart, master wizard!" he said with a charming grin.

Harry groaned again and said, "No, oh no, you stay out of this-!"

KABOOM!

Too late.

Now Harry was truly in despair. Lockhart had somehow managed to explode the Ravenclaw table. The Ravenclaws gave a frightened scream and went running for the other neared table.

"Now look what you've done!" Harry exploded at him, and shoved him away. The hall was in complete chaos. Students we're screaming, tables were exploding, walls were collasping, water was leaking out of the ceiling, and foods we're on fire.

Simon shook his head. "Always the same clueless idiot." Ginny had to agree with this.

"GO AWAY!" He screamed at the asians who were engaged in a fight, waving around weapons and missing, thus hitting walls, thus resulting in cracking the walls, etc. etc.

The black hole Harry had conjured last time to rid of the Asians appeared again, but this time no one didn't even acknowledge it.

"HELLO? GO AWAY!" Harry screamed again.

They took no notice of him and continued destroying what was left of Hogwarts.

"ARGH!　GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!"

This time Ginny had joined him in his screaming.

"YOU RUINED MY COOOOOOOOOOOOONCEEEEEEEEEEERT!!!" She wailed, throwing the chopstick and cheese at the Asians.

Sirius decided to join as well. "GIVE US BACK PRONGS!" He yelled excitedly.

James wailed back at him as he narrowly avoided the sword.

Harry couldn't stand it anymore. "YOU ARE GOING NO MATTER WHAT!"

"Out!" Suddenly, there was a huge gush of wind pulling them in the black hole. The black hole seemed like a, well, real space kind of black hole. Students we're now clawing at the table, desperate to cling on and not get sucked in.

The Asians, however, were sucked in almost immediately. The last one to get sucked in was a surprised looking girl who had stood around glaring.

Ginny looked at the hold sadly. "She looked like a rather nice girl."

Harry swished his wand and the black hole was zipped up. It was gone, as if it had never been there at all.

There was silence as everyone tried to register what had just happened. It wasn't everyday you got to see a bunch of Asian people coming up from nowhere to trample their dear professor and destroying Hogwarts, then getting sucked into a black hole.

Sirius was the first to break the silence. "JAMES!"

That awakened everyone. "Oh, my god, they took Potter with them!" Lily said, looking aghast. "Professor! Can you get him back?" she asked.

Harry thought hard. "I sent them back to their home land… I think."

Sirius bounded towards them. "Yeah, where'd you send them?"

Simon bounded towards Harry, looking identical to the little Sirius. "Yeah, yeah, where'd you send them?" It was a rather hilarious sight.

"Er… Japan, I think."

"WHAT?"

This was too much for Remus, who had snuck up on them from behind, chasing Sirius. "You- you sent James to- to- JAPAN?"

A nearby Asian Hufflepuff leaned over, looking rather interested. "Hey, I come from Japan. Where do you suppose you sent Potter to?"

Harry replied with a shrug. "No idea."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU HAVE NO IDEA?"

Minerva quickly rushed over, looking peeved. "Harry! What in the world did you do to poor Mr. Potter?"

"Er, I'm sorry, I'll have to bring him back."

"Do it now, Mr. Granger. Can you imagine what chaos it will bring to the school?"

"It already has." Lily muttered darkly.

Harry winced. "Er, I'm afraid that'll have to be tomorrow…"

"Explain, Mr. Granger. Quick, before I get out my wand." Minerva snarled, reaching into her sleeves for her wand.

Ginny hissed at Harry, "Ooh, you're in for it!"

Ignoring the rather unpleasant witch, he replied, "Well, I've pretty much used my daily usage of magic… You see, I have rather limited amounts of magic I can use to teleport… I'm not just a machine, you now."

"Then what in the world are we supposed to do with Mr. Granger?" Minerva demanded, shaking her wand instead of fists in Harry's face.

"I dunno, wait?"

Both people from the future sniggered at this.

"Detention!" she snarled, then remembered that Harry was not a Hogwarts student. "Well, then, a week of living in the Hogwarts cupboard."

Now that was a strange and unusual punishment. Not very cruel, but interesting nonetheless. "Which cupboard?"

"Harry, I want Mr. Potter here safe by tomorrow morning. If I don't, then you can kiss your bloody job good bye." McGonagall informed him icily. It was rather interesting hearing his fellow teacher actually swear.

Sirius groaned. "James is having all the fun by himself these days, isn't he? He gets to stay at JAPAN!"

"Oh, I don't know if it'll suit James very much though." The Hufflepuff said cheerfully. "The food, for insistence… or the narrow roads where you can get run over by a truck rather easily, or perhaps the martial artists wandering around the roads, or maybe the vicious animals found frequently at night, or…"

"Ok, ok, I get the point." Sirius said looking rather worried.

Minerva turned to Harry and gave him one last glare. "If he has even one scratch when you bring him back, you will be suffering severe, severe consequences."

And she whipped around, stomping over back to the staff tables, occasionally shooting a spell at broken walls and repairing them.

Ginny turned to Harry and raised an eyebrow. "You are in serious trouble this time, Harry. You better get out of this one fast or I fear for you're safety. Or rather, you're body."

"Good to know you care so much about me, Ginny."

She wrinkled her nose. "No, if you turn into a mouse or a frog or, even worse, a slug, then how are we going to get back?"

Suddenly, Remus remembered something and frowned. "Hey, why didn't the teachers stop them?"

They all look at each other. He had a rather good point… All heads turned towards the staff table. They immediately got the answer when they saw the professors sitting primly at their seats, mouth twitching slightly.

Thanks for reading! I know it isn't the very best, but I'm having to write in tidbits because my mom doesn't like me sitting in front of the computer too much. Anyway, I'm think of bringing and terrifying another charactor from the future... evil laugh I've already thought of a good person, though.:D

And yeah, Harry's boom box didn't play much of a part on this chapter, but it shall come back again, pinker and fluffier then ever! evil laugh again

Also, I didn't mean that about Ateens being ia girly CD. o.o; That's just Harry's opinion, not mine... whacks Harry on the head Uh oh... I'm going to get cursed! Anyway, yeah, I don't think any kind of music is girly or boy-ey or whatever. They are all good.:) I added in Ateens because I just got the CD... from a limited amount of CDs in Japan. o.o I only had NSYNC... after realizing how sad that was, I took 20 bucks (or 2000 yen- whatever) and went to the CD store to buy a new CD. Which was how I now have a rather old, out-dated CD. But whatever, I like it, none of you shall offend my opinion.:K (whatever that means...) And before I forget...

Ateens and the 'Upside Down' Lyrics are NOT MINE!

Ha, bet you were getting ready to sue me... But I remembered, muhaha.

Well, thanks for reading again, review!:)

Oh yeah, did you notice that they don't show stars anymore? I have to use the gray line now to divide paragraphs... Alright, I'll shut up now.
