Disclaimer: It's not mine..it's JK Rowling's! well most of the characters and places, at least. Heh, the Quads belong to me! They're all mine! But nothing else. Oh, and Here Without You is sung by 3 Doors Down. Great Song!

A/N: I realize that the last chapter was extremely out of character for everyone. I don't know why, but everyone my story seems so subdued. Hmmm.well, we'll just have to change that, huh? This chapter is the big old party chappie. Well, later on. I'm skipping the rest of that day, it's just too much for me to continue. This chapter is going to be all sorts of tomfoolery and mockery and well, just plain fun. Everyone of the younger people are going to the party. Angelina invited them all, heh, and of course, they need dates, so, Harry and Ginny, Hermione and Fred, George and Raya, Elizabeth and Charlie, Ron and Lavender (of course!), Bill and Danielle, Percy and Skylar are going together. That's a lot of people. Don't ask me why Angelina has to be this stupid and invite the entire Weasley Clan, but hey, she and Fred are going to get back together, and Oliver Wood is going to get what's coming to him! (Oliver is not one of my favorite characters.) Thankies to the reviewers. Now, one with the show!

Double Trouble

Chapter Seven

Hermione woke the next day, her head swirling. It was the day of Angelina's party, and by everything good and holy, Hermione was going to enjoy herself. She had spent half of yesterday afternoon just talking to George. Getting to know him better, they had decided to take things a little slow, start out as friends, and the occasional snog partner, and work from there.

Hermione yawned and stretched, her muscles tight from lying in bed all day. She felt grungy, and her mouth was all cottony. * Better go grab the shower before someone else does. * she thought, yawning again.

She rolled out of the bed, nearly stepping on Danielle. She cursed silently, then tiptoed around her cousins. Ginny's room had been magically enlarged, but it still seemed cramped, and it was wall to wall girls.

Hermione opened her trunk, digging around for a t-shirt and a pair of jeans. She smiled as she noticed some clothing she didn't think she had brought. * What better way to make an impression? * She grabbed the clothing, Ginny's makeup, and few other items. Everyone would be shocked, save her cousins, when they saw her. Skylar was the one who had picked this outfit out, when Hermione had stayed with them a few years ago.

Hermione snuck out, taking the things with her to the bathroom. She was going to get a good laugh out of this.

***

Hermione looked at herself in the mirror, her hair was noticeably shorter, thanks to a hair charm Lavender had showed her, and was slightly spiked, the color was astounding, a dark violet with shocking white tips, another hair charm that would wear off in twenty-four hours. It was just an insignificant incantation, one that would not be picked up by the Ministry of Magic.

She was wearing large hoops in her ears, a fake nose and eyebrow ring, and she had done her own makeup. She looked punked.

It was the clothing that was the clincher though. She was wearing a pair of wide-leg dark blue jeans with a little Buddha on the back pocket, and a one sleeved black belly-shirt, that cut around and showed her other shoulder (the one with the Mark), with the word Angel written across it in silver studs. She looked like she walked out of an American Mall.

"Cool!" She murmured, and performed one last little spell that gave her a fake tattoo of a crescent moon with a spider web on her bare arm. Everyone was going to flip!

***

Hermione glanced outside the bathroom, making sure no one was waiting there; she wanted her look to be a surprise to the boys. She walked quickly back to Ginny's room, where the other girls were just beginning to stir.

Danielle sat up rubbing her eyes, she hadn't noticed Hermione yet. Hermione smiled, closing the door softly behind her.

"Oh My God! Hermione!" Danielle shrieked, waking the rest of the girls up. "That IS soooo Cool!"

"I thought so." Hermione grinned, turning around so Danielle could see.

"Do you think we all should go like that?" Danielle asked her, after surveying her outfit. "I think I have something that would work perfect!"

Hermione laughed, "Sure, why not. If we're going to shock everyone, why not do it right?"

Skylar looked at Hermione, then giggled, "I'm so going like that!"

Elizabeth turned over, caught sight of Hermione and waggled her eyebrows suggestively, "Looking to impress someone, Mione?"

"Elizabeth, Shut Up!" Hermione tossed a pillow at her cousin, hitting the girl in the head.

"Hey, that wasn't nice!" Elizabeth pouted, as Raya gaped at Hermione. The only who hadn't seen her yet had been Ginny.

"Ginny?" The girl in question turned over, and promptly shrieked.

"Mione! Oh WOW! That is, Wow!" The other girls laughed.

"Ginny, would you like to go to Angelina's party like that?" Danielle asked the younger girl, who nodded enthusiastically.

"Good, because I think I have something that just might do the trick." Danielle opened the suitcase, magically enhanced of course, that held her belongings. Finding what she wanted, she smiled. "Now, go grab a shower, and I'll get everything ready. I think we're going to freak some poor chick out!"

***

An hour later, all the girls had showered, and were now doing themselves up to match Hermione. Danielle's raven hair had blue streaks through it, and was done up in a sloppy bun, with little curls hanging in her face. Skylar's blonde hair was short and gelled into spikes with black tips. Raya's brown hair was done in twisties halfway back with two long purple bangs hanging in her face. Elizabeth's auburn hair was braided around her head and was a bright blue.

Hermione had yet to see Ginny, they made her turn around, so it would be a surprise. "Can I see yet?"

"Wait a second, okay.now!" Hermione turned around and gasped. Ginny's red hair was pure white, with two tiny pink braids on either side of her head.

"Wow, that's brilliant!" Hermione breathed. Now all that was left was the clothing, and fake jewelry.

When they were finished, they each wore a pair of wide-leg dark blue jeans. Danielle was wearing a black shirt with the words "Bite Me" written across her chest. Skylar wore a gray shirt with a little devil on the front, Elizabeth wore a purple shirt that laced up the sides, Raya wore a white halter top, and Ginny wore a blue sleeveless shirt with a star on it in little studs. Yep, they were definitely punked.

"How do you think everyone will react?" Ginny asked a little nervously. Her mother would probably scream, or faint, whichever came first. Her brother's would laugh, at least the twins would. She honestly didn't know how Harry would react.

"Well, lets go down and find out." Danielle led the way from the room.

***

"What's taking the girls so long? It's just a little party, that's all. It's not like we're going out or something." Ron complained, wanting to eat. Molly was holding breakfast until the girl's were finished doing whatever the girls do.

"They're coming," Charlie stated, just as giggling filtered in from the other room.

"Thank Gods. I didn't think-" Ron trailed off, his eyes widening. His jaw dropped, when he looked at Ginny, then Hermione. "What in the-"

"Language, Ron." Hermione stated, uncomfortable.

Molly walked in from the kitchen, then stopped when she saw the group of punked out girls standing in her dining room. "Hmm, well. Trying something different dears?"

It was Ginny's turn to be amazed. "Not going to scold us?"

"No, why would I do that? I grew up in the late sixties, trust me, we invented that." Was all Molly said as she made her way to the table.

Charlie looked at his mother, confused. "But you're a Witch. Did you wear Muggle stuff?"

"Of course I did! Gods, Charlie, you know that I'm Muggle born, I spent eleven years of my life as a Muggle. Of course I wore Muggle clothing, followed Muggle fads and everything. Why do you think your father married me?"

"Love?"

"That and the fact I knew what Muggle things were. Now eat up, it's eleven and Angelina's party starts at noon."

***

"Is it just me, or does dear old Mum seem a little, out of character?" Ron looked at his older brother's. Percy was staring at Skylar, who was staring right back, while Bill was flirting heavily with Danielle.

"I think it's just you, Ron." Charlie stated, then walked over to where Elizabeth was talking to Hermione and Ginny.

"Okay."

***

"C'mon, it's time we got there, don't you think?" Bill stated, looking at the group en masse. "Do you think Angelina realized that there's thirteen people coming from here, alone?"

Fred snorted, "I doubt she realizes her head is on her shoulders sometimes." He looked at Hermione, "Are you ready for this?"

Hermione nodded, she was ready for anything, she felt energized.

"Okay, let's go."

***

Hermione stepped out of Angelina's fireplace, dusting herself off, when she bumped into George, causing them to go sprawling into the floor.

"We've really got to stop meeting like this," He whispered as he helped her back to her feet. Hermione laughed.

Everyone in the room stared as the six girls made their way in. None of the people there had seen any of the like. Hermione suddenly laughed, she found the situation somehow amusing. Everyone was staring at her like she was a freak, and she laughed. She placed her hands on her hips, smirking. She slowly turned in a circle, "All right, now that you've seen me, I guess you can stop staring, it's not like I'm going to eat you or something." She stated.

Angelina came over, looking at Hermione and Ginny. "Wow you guys! That's so cool!" Hermione and Ginny exchanged a look.

"Where's Oliver?" Ginny asked, searching the other girl's face.

"Oh." Angelina looked down at the floor. "I, um, sort of broke up with him. He only wanted me for the plays he had made for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. I realized what a mistake I had made. I was in love with Fred, but we had been dating for two years, I wanted a little excitement."

Hermione suddenly felt bad. She didn't know if she could do it. It had seemed so easy when she wasn't there, but now, here in front of the heartbroken girl, she choked. (A/N: I can't make Angelina mean, or nasty, I just can't! * Sob *)

Fred decided to show up then, placing his arm around Hermione's shoulders possessively. "Where's Wood?" He glared at Angelina.

She looked up, then seeing the gesture, turned away, her eyes filling with tears. * OH GODS * "Not here." She mumbled, then ran off.

Hermione looked at Fred, then back towards the way Angelina ran, "Go after her."

"What?" Fred looked confused.

"Go after her, she broke up with Oliver, she wanted excitement, and realized that she wanted you more. Get her back." And with that, Hermione walked off in search of her cousins, and possibly George.

***

Fred spotted Angelina sitting by herself in a dark corner, her shoulders shaking with barely suppressed sobs. He made a line for her.

"Hey."

Angelina looked up, her eyes red and puffy. "Hey."

"Don't cry." He whispered, sitting next to her.

"It's my party, I can cry if I want to." She stated, then sighed. "Fred, I'm sorry. Look, I don't know what I was thinking. I had a major crush on Wood the year before he graduated. Then I had you. I thought I wanted Wood, wanted excitement. I know it's too late, but I love you, Fred." She sniffed sadly.

Fred grinned, "We make an odd couple, don't we. Both of us here in this corner, depressed. I'm sorry too."

Angelina looked at him, surprised, "For what?"

"Well, I sort of used Hermione to make you jealous, to hurt you like you hurt me. It was stupid, I know, but I did it anyway. I'm not with Hermione, I don't want to be with anyone but you." Fred leaned over, wiping away her tears. "There now, don't cry. I'm here."'

Angelina smiled, glancing at him shyly. "Are we dating again?"

"You bet."

***

George looked around the room and sighed. There was way too many people here. And the music sucked.

Where was Hermione?

***

Hermione cornered her cousins. "I know you have CD's and a CD player. I know it. Do something quick, this party is going to bite if you don't."

The Quadruplets grinned, "Alright.but Hermione, you have to do one thing."

Another Weird Sister's song broke into the conversation. Hermione winced, "Anything, you name it."

"Okay, but remember, you agreed."

***

"H-Hello? Testing, One-Two-Three." Hermione's voice rang through the large room. Everyone looked at her in surprise. "Uh." She froze. Angelina smiled at her, nodding. "Well, my cousins here have got some music I think you'd like, but first," She made a face, "They made me promise to do something. I'm going to have to sing a song for you. It's their all time favorite song, and unfortunately, I have to sing it. I don't know if any of you have heard of it, it's a muggle song, well, an American muggle song. It's called 'Here Without You' performed by three doors down, and by me, tonight."

George's head jerked up. Anther muggle song?

Music blared through the room. Then Hermione's voice rang out in sweet soft tones.

"A hundred days have made me older,

Since the last time that I saw your pretty face

A thousand lies have made me colder,

And I don't think I can look at this the same.

But all the mile that separate,

They disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face.

I'm here without you baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby

And I dream about you all the time.

I'm here without you baby

But you're still with me in my dreams,

And tonight, there's only you and me.

The mile just keep rolling,

As the people leave their way to say hello.

I've heard this live is overrated,

But I hop that this gets better as we go.

I'm here without you baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby

And I dream about you all the time.

I'm here without you baby

But you're still with me in my dreams,

And tonight girl, there's only you and me.

Everything I know,

And anywhere I go

It gets hard but it

Won't take away my love

And when the last one falls,

When it's all said and done

It gets hard but it

Won't take away my love.

I'm here without you baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby

And I dream about you all the time.

I'm here without you baby

But you're still with me in my dreams,

And tonight, there's only you and me.

I'm here without you baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby

And I dream about you all the time.

I'm here without you baby

But you're still with me in my dreams,

And tonight, there's only you and me."

George felt tears gather in his eyes as applause filled the room. He whistled suddenly, loud.

"Thanks, now, I'll let my cousins DJ for you." Hermione touched her throat and whispered "Finite Incantatum." Her voice returned to normal, she stepped away and walked into the crowd.

"Hermione!" She turned to look at George.

"Yes?"

"That was beautiful!" Hermione blushed.

"Thank you."

At that moment, a slow song came on. "Care to dance?"

Hermione laughed, "Please." And with that, they were off, dancing.
