Chapter 14-Dancing at Hogwarts
"There they are" Hermonine said as her, Ginny, and Ron, walked to the lawn and saw Alana, Justin, Seamus, and Dean.
"Let's try that again before people show up," Alana said as she turned on Wizard Wireless.
"Five, Six, Seven and" Justin said as Alana and him started doing a dance routine.
"Whoa" Ron said as Seamus and Dean smiled at each other.
"They're really good" Ginny said walking up to Dean.
"We taught them all of that," Seamus said as Alana shook her head still dancing.
"Ahh! I missed it again," Alana said laughing.
"You'll get it" Justin said turning Wizard wireless off.
"Only you with the complicated stuff" Alana said pretending like she was going to strangle him.
"That was Justin's part" Seamus said.
"I want to see your part" Ginny told Alana as people started to show up.
"I'll wait till most of them get here," Alana said as she saw Harry walking towards them.
"Hey" Harry said with a smile.
"Hey, are you ok now? No I want to hurt Professor Snape" Alana said jokingly.
"I left that at the great hall" Harry said.
"I'm kind of nervous" Alana whispered.
"Don't be" Harry said noticing how many people showed up.
"There is a lot of people," he said.
"Seamus, Dean you want to do me and Justin a huge favor," Alana asked.
"Sure" they said.
"Here are the papers of people who signed up to do this, we should do a roll call to see who's here" Alana said
. "I wish I had something to get their attention" Alana said walking up to the front.
"Um excuse me" Justin began to say.
"Everyone" Alana said raising her hands up.
She looked at Harry and sighed. Harry noticed that more people showed up and the harder it was to get everyone to be quiet.
"What are we going to do?" Alana whispered to Justin. Harry walked to the front and blew on his whistle. Everyone stopped and looked at him. "
Go ahead" Harry said as Alana smiled.
"We just want to do attendance and then show you, what we have so far," Justin said.
"Can everyone get into their houses" Alana said as Seamus handed her and Justin a paper. "Hufflepuff: Padma Patil, Lisa Turpkin, Kerry White, Shanna Grath, Britney Walker, James Freeman, Tiffany Reader, Ernie Macmillan, Wayne Hopkins" Justin said as Alana smiled at Wayne and Ernie.
"Gryffindor: Lisa Garret, Max Leads, Erica Rose, Christina Mark, Natalie MacDonald, Colin Creevey, Dennis Creevey, Parvati Patil, Lavender Brown, Chris Jordan" Alana read out.
"We did Ravenclaw and Slytherin already" Seamus said handing her the sheet.
"If you didn't sign up before please do it now" Justin said handing the paper back to the Huffulepuff section.
"I can't believe you guys showed up," Alana said to Ernie, Wayne, and Michael.
"It's you and Justin so we came to support" Ernie said as Harry watched Alana talk to them.
"Well since we got the administrative stuff out the way, we can get started," Justin said as Alana walked back to the front.
"This is my part, I guess boys and girls can be in this part. It's the first of three. Then it leads to the part Justin put together," Alana said looking at the group.
Justin walked to the side where wizard wireless was as Alana walked to the middle and took a deep breath.
"Ready?" Justin said.
Alana nodded as the music started to play.
"Oh Baby Baby" the song sang as Alana started to pose. Harry raised his eyebrows.
"I'm not going to mess up," Alana thought as she started to dance.
"Wow" Parvati Patil whispered to Lavender Brown. Justin smiled as he noticed the group's reaction
. "Ohhh" Seamus said as Alana swayed her body from the left to the right. Alana turned to the back as the song stopped. "
Stop it Seamus" Justin said.
"Woo" Lavender Brown yelled as the group clapped.
Alana smiled as Harry noticed her reaction.
"I guess you guys like it" Justin said as the group laughed.
"We just want you guys to learn that part first since it doesn't take that long. Then you will learn the final part," Alana said as she saw first years Max and Lisa nodding.
"The very first part I danced too, I kind of admit it is kind of girly," Alana said as the guys laughed.
"Who wants to be in the first part?" Alana said as she saw a ton of hands raised.
"Wow, ok let's get into five rows and give yourself some room," Alana said trying to space people as Lupin and Hagrid walked towards the lawn.
"Alana can I learn it to" Ginny said walking to the fifth row.
"Sure" Alana said happy that Ginny decided to do it after all.
"What's going on?" Hagrid as Hermonine and Ron watching from the side.
"Alana and Justin wanted to form a dance club, and they are going to proposed the idea to you guys next Tuesday" Hermonine said. "Oh, well there's a big turn out for it" Lupin said as he noticed Harry watching Alana. "It's really good, but you guys should wait to see the finished product" Ron said. "Oh that's our hint to leave" Lupin said jokingly as he saw Justin trying to space people.
"We're going to rotate rows to make sure everyone gets it" Alana said looking at Ernie and Wayne.
"That means you two" Justin said pointing at them.
"Let me start by saying that the posing I was doing I was just doing that to kill up space" Alana said as people started laughing.
"I have a cooler idea, but the first step goes right arm out left leg kick" Alana said as she demonstrated.
"You do that twice" she added as people started to practice it.
"Good, just add a little hip to it when you do it" Alana said as she did it with the extra hip.
Harry grinned and Lupin nudged Hagrid's shoulder and pointed at Harry.
"Ok, the next step is kind of the same but you do it with the opposite leg. So it's left hand out right leg kick," Alana said demonstrating.
"Alana" Lisa asked timidly.
"Yes" Alana asked.
"I don't think I'm doing it right," Lisa said sadly.
"Don't stress I'll help you. We'll do it together," Alana said walking to her left and starting to practice with her.
"You'll fine" Alana said watching her. Lisa smiled as Alana went up to the front.
"We're going to combine the first two steps," Alana said as she motioned Seamus to turn on wizard wireless.
"Just watch and you'll see how fast it actually is," Justin said.
"Five, six, seven and" Justin said as Alana demonstrated the first two moves.
"That is fast," Ginny said.
"First two rows try it, everyone else to the side," Justin said.
"You'll do fine" Alana whispered to Lisa as she walked to the side with Harry.
"How does it look so far?" Alana whispered to Harry.
"I like it, you're very good." Harry said with a smile as he noticed Lupin and Hagrid watching.
"Maybe we should go" Hagrid said smiling at the thought of Harry being happy.
"You guys are going to do it twice as a row, don't be nervous" Alana said as Seamus started the music.
"Five, six, seven and" Alana said to row one which included, Lisa, Padma, Lavender, Parvati, Eleanor Branstone, and Luna.
"Not bad" Alana said watching the first two rows.
"Ok that's three rows row come up" Alana said as Colin waved at her.
"The guys don't have to do this part," Justin said as some of the guys started laughing.
"What if you want to?" Dennis said.
"Then you could' Alana said as she noticed only three boys on stage as the music started.
"You're not going to give it a try," Alana said jokingly to Harry.
"No, No, I can't do this. I just wanted to come and support" Harry said.
"I'll return the favor in the first game in November" Alana said as she watched them.
"Now on to the next step after left hand out right leg kick, it's turn using left leg so you end up with your back away from audience. Feet are apart when you finish turning. Then here's the fun part you do this twice sway to the right, sway to the left, sway right, sway left" Alana said demonstrating.
"Oh Uh" Seamus said as the group started to laugh.
"So start from the last step," Alana said.
"Five six seven and, left hand out right hand kick, turn, land feet apart, sway right, sway left" She said as the group started to do it.
"Let's do it again?" Alana said as she saw Harry staring at her.
"Before we do it, any questions" Justin said.
"Padma?" Justin asked. "Do that turn again?" Padma said.
"You use your left but you turn to the back with that foot" Alana said demonstrating.
"Ok" Padma said.
"Try it with me from the beginning" Alana said with a smile walking towards her.
"As a matter of fact lets try it with music from the top, that might help" she said as she motioned Seamus.
"Five, six, seven and" Justin said as the entire group tried it from the beginning with Alana.
"Did that help?" Alana asked as people nodded.
"Ok new system, I teach the step and we do it with music" she said as people laughed.
"Let's do it two more times then we move on" Alana said taking a sip of water as the music started again.
"Did you see Lupin?" Ron asked Harry. "
Yea, him and Hagrid wanted to talk to me I think," Harry said looking down.
"About what?" Ron asked.
"I don't know" Harry lied as he heard Alana squealed.
"Ok moving on, here's the next step, after you sway to the right you move your torso to the right, you see where my feet end up" Alana said as she moved her torso to the right so her right foot was in the front and her left foot is in the back.
"Then with your left hand pull feet together, bounce for three and slide up," Alana said.
She then pretended like she was pulling an object with her left hand so her feet ended up together. Alana then ducked down downing 3 soft squats as she slid up.
"That looks fast," Ginny said. "It is fast, Let's try it then were doing it from the top" Alana said as the group started to practice and she started to walk around.
"I can't believe they're picking up so quickly," she thought as she saw Professor Little watching.
"That guy gives me the creeps," Alana said as she quickly looked away.
"Good everyone, we are going to do it from the top with the music" Alana said happily.
"You only have a few more steps to go then we can go to the second part," Justin said impressed how fast they were progressing.
"The second part the guys will be able to dance to" Alana said as the music started and the group started to dance.
"This is awesome, they're getting it" Alana whispered to Justin.
"Teach the rest of it straight, we're on a roll" Justin said as Alana grinned.
"Ok I'm going to go and just teach you the rest of the first part, cause you all are picking up quickly" Alana said as the group smiled as she started to teach the end of it.
"Harry your not going to try out" Chris asked.
"No I'll stick to Quidditch, I'm surprised your trying out" Harry said watching the group.
"I need to get in shape," Chris said lightheartedly to Harry.
"Chris you remembered what we were doing yesterday right" Justin said going up to him.
"Yea, why?" Chris asked.
"We want you do demonstrate with us, there's more people for the second part" Justin whispered and walked up to the front.
"You're going to shimmy walking up, then a familiar step, left hand out right leg kick. Bunny hop three times, turned sway right, sway left and pose. And that's the end of the first part" Alana said demonstrating to the group.
"Let's play that part with the music twice then we'll put everything together," Justin said going up to the front.
"They only been here for half an hour" Hermonine said watching the group.
"I hope the professors like it, I do it's different" Ron said.
"They will" Harry said.
"We're only going to do it with you once" Justin said before they started.
"We're going to face the audience as well since well we have to do that in a few days anyway" Alana said motioning everyone to turn around where Harry, Ron, Hermonine, Ernie, Michael and Wayne were sitting.
"Go ahead" Alana said to Seamus as she gave a little smile to Harry.
"Five six seven and" Alana said as they started to dance from the beginning. Harry noticed that Alana's face was read as she looked down.
"Why is her face so red" Hermonine said to Ron as he shrugged his shoulder.
"Ok good, now the fun part I get to see for myself" Alana said sarcastically as she sat next to Harry.
"How did they look I couldn't really see" she whispered in Harry's ear.
"They're good, I mean it didn't look bad at all," Harry said really talking about Alana dancing.
"Spread out, and don't be nervous" Alana said as she looked at some first years.
"Five, six, seven, and" Justin said as the music started.
"Go Ginny! Go Lisa, Yea Colin!" Alana said cheering them on as they danced. Harry laughed as Ron and Hermonine joined in.
"I can't believe they got it so quickly," Alana said to Harry as the dance finished.
"Alana why don't they do it again then we can show them how the second part starts. I told Chris to join us," Justin said kneeling down towards her.
"I'll be back," Alana said to Harry.
"How are we coming in again, when they pose, the music ends" Alana began to say.
"You know how we can come in then they are doing that last move we just walk in as they pose, they walk off. Then you can lip sync that part," Justin said.
"Cool, wait Chris needs to know this" Alana said looking around for him.
"Chris, come here" Justin said as Chris walked back with a bottle of water.
"Justin is going to tell you how we walk in" Alana said as she walked back to the group.
"Good job everyone, we're going to do it one more time. This time when you pose count for five and then walk off, and we are going to show you the second part." Alana said pointing to Justin and Chris.
"Ok, from the top" Alana said to Seamus.
"Round of applause for DJ Seamus and DJ Dean" Justin said as everyone laughed.
"Ready?" Seamus asked. Alana nodded from the side.
"Five six seven and" Justin said as the group started to dance to the first part.
"Practice really makes perfect" Alana thought as she watched them getting better. Justin waved his hand from the opposite side to get ready to walk in.
"Now" Alana thought as her, Justin and Chris walked in the middle.
"DJ, I would like to introduce you to some friends of mine" Alana lip synced as she moved a few paces from Justin's left. Alana, Justin, and Chris used some punching moves from Defense Against the Dark Arts class that went with the beat.
"She's really good" Harry thought watching Alana dance. Alana smiled at Justin as they did the box step and hand movements. The trio kicked their right legs to the front and started spinning using their waist as momentum.
"Left leg" Alana said quietly to Justin so he can remember.
As they kicked their left leg their heads swung side to side as the group started to clap. They quickly put the leg back and posed, as the music stop.
"Are you ready" the song sang as it cut to another song. Seamus stopped the music.
"And that my friends is the second part, it's short. All the guys can be in it" Alana said looking at Ernie, Wayne, Colin, Dennis, and Michael.
Alana spotted Cho walking towards the group.
"Alana why don't we do it again, the way we ended it doesn't feel right. Maybe you should just lip sync the rest of the song before we do it" Justin suggested.
"We can try that," Alana said as they walked back to their spots.
"Only back to the second part" Justin told Seamus as they did the dance again.
"I know what I'm going to do" Alana said to herself looking at Cho.
"Are you ready?" the song sang, Alana walked a few paces in front and started lip syncing the song, improvising her dance moves as Justin and Chris were doing.
"Hit me baby one more time" Alana lip sync as she returned in between Chris and Justin as they bobbed their heads to the music and posed.
"That looked good" Justin said to Alana as she nodded. Ron noticed Harry looking at Alana as she fixed her pants.
Ron grinned as Harry said, "Come on it's not like that".
"Ok boys get up your going to learn this, we only need a few girls but the girls in this part cannot be in the first part. Any volunteers?" Justin asked.
"Ok Lavender, Lisa, Parvati, Tiffany, Inna" Alana said as they raised their hands.
"She's incredible" Harry said as Alana started teaching them.
Chapter 15-Care of magical creatures
"I can't believe I have to take this class" Alana thought realizing that she was about 45 minutes earlier.
"Oh my god" Alana said realizing there was a gray hippogriff a few feet away from her.
"I didn't know we were actually going to see them," Alana said stepping back.
"Don't be afraid," Harry said walking towards her.
"I'm not I'm just staying back" Alana said continuing to walk back.
"Hagrid is probably going to make you try to befriend it in class" Harry said.
"Why?" Alana said keeping her eye on the creature.
"Cause this is a care of magical creatures class" Harry said with a grin.
"Cute" Alana said.
"You look tired" Harry said.
"Yea, I mean that rehearsal was fun just exhausting, and then after when we were just hanging out" Alana said looking at the creature.
"His name is Buckbeak, he's nice" Harry said.
"I bet he is" Alana said.
"They didn't offer this in your old school" Harry asked surprised.
"We only read about them, wizards like grandfather who donate money to the school didn't want the students in danger," Alana said.
"I see, well there's a first time for everything, you're going to befriend Buckbeak" Harry said motioning her to come closer. Alana took a deep breath and walked over to Harry.
"Just extend your hand out" Harry said.
"Ok" Alana said extending her right hand. Buckbeak snapped and Alana stepped back a few feet from the creature and Harry.
"I have an idea," Harry said taking a scarf out from his pocket.
"Close your eyes" Harry said. Alana closed her eyes and Harry put the tied the scarf over her eyes.
"Harry, no I can't see, what if he does something" Alana exclaimed.
"He won't I'll be right here. You have to trust him," Harry said walking behind Alana.
Hagrid started walking towards the pumpkin patch as he saw Harry and Alana with Buckbeak.
"We're going to do this together ok," Harry whispered into Alana's left ear. Harry took Alana's right arm and extended it as they started to walk.
"Just relax," he said softly.
Alana's left arm started to shake, Harry started to notice this and he put Alana's arm on her stomach. Alana took a deep breath as her hand continued shaking. Harry took is left hand and held Alana's hand.
"You have to trust that's the whole point" Harry said know having his left hand on Alana's stomach as her hand was on top of his. They continued to walk to Buckbeak.
"Don't be afraid," Harry whispered in Alana's ear as he brought her hand to Buckbeak. Alana started to pet Buckbeak.
Hagrid smiled from a distance then noticed the way Harry was holding her.
Harry took off the blindfold as Alana looked at Buckbeak's orange eyes.
"Your beautiful" she said to the creature.
"Thanks" Alana said turning her head to Harry.
"That's not all" Harry said walking over to her.
"What else is there?" Alana said.
"This" Harry said picking her up from behind and putting her on Buckbeak.
He then climbed in back of Alana.
"Harry no" Alana screamed as Buckbeak started to run. Alana held on to Buckbeak for dear life closing her eyes.
"You can open them now" Harry said as Alana realized they in the air.
"Just calm down" Harry said as Alana held closer to Buckbeak looking down.
"Wow" Alana said looking at the countryside. She turned around to Harry and smiled. Harry smiled at her.
Alana felt more comfortable and let loose her grip around Buckbeak. She sighed and leaned her back on Harry as he held his arms around her waist.
"Morning Hagrid" Lupin said noticing Hagrid looking at the sky with his binoculars.
"What are you looking at?" Lupin asked. Hagrid handed the binoculars to Lupin.
"Oh" Lupin said watching Harry and Alana with Buckbeak.
"Harry's growing up" Hagrid said noticing the closeness between him and Alana.
"They sit next together in my class" Lupin said getting a better look at where Harry's hand was on Alana.
"We need to talk to him about the prophecy, and where exactly his hands should be near a young lady" Lupin said.
"I know" Hagrid said.
"I need to talk to Dumbledore about the girl" Lupin said.
"Why?" Hagrid asked.
"There is something about her, she has specific qualities that haven't been seen in centuries. I need to know her family background" Lupin said as Harry and Alana landed Buckbeak.
"That was nice" Alana said really talking about Harry holding her.
"Yea" Harry said not wanting to let go.
"Whoa" Alana said as Buckbeak stopped.
"Morning you two" Hagrid said as him and Lupin walked over two them.
"Morning Professor Hagrid, Morning Professor Lupin" Alana said as she spotted Seamus and Dean walking over.
Harry may I speak to you before class" Lupin asked.
"Ok," Harry said reluctantly.
"I wanted to know if you wanted to go to Hogsmade, so we can talk" Lupin said.
"About" Harry asked.
"You, school" Lupin began to say.
"The prophesy" Harry interrupted.
"We can talk about that if you want, I was going to say Alana" Lupin said with a grin.
"We're just friends, Remus" Harry said lightening up as he saw Alana talking to Dean.
"Whatever you say, I will see you this evening" Lupin said walking away. Lupin walked he waved over to Alana.
"The prophecy, how will I tell them?" Harry said to himself as he watched Ron and Hermonine talking to Alana.
