a/n: Hehe… I'm sorry I left u w/ a cliffie. I promise to never to do it again (crosses fingers)
When Harry, Ginny, Hermione, and Ron finally got to Jasmine's Place there was a long line outside. The line got shorter as they got closer to the purplish squared building. They saw Professor Josh, the new Dark Arts teacher, yelling, "7th and 6th years only can come inside!" A few younger students got past the professor only to land on their butts by the spell on the entrance.
"I could have told you that was gonna happen" laughed Ron.
Then at last, Harry, Ginny, Hermione, and Ron were able to get inside. What was inside made all their jaws drop. There were bright colorful floating lights everywhere, a bar attended a ghost, even two big screen TVs on the wall, music was blaring from all sorts of directions, and fellow students dancing very close. Harry thought the place looked like a dance club. All of a sudden the light and music went out. People in the dark started to complain loudly.
A spotlight went on to a raised platform, then a woman, who looked in her twenties, blonde-hair, bright purple eyes, and wearing muggle clothes walked in the light. She spoke, "Greeting all Hogwarts students." The big TVs turned on, showing her speaking. Her voice was pure and cheerful as it carried throughout the room. "I hope you all are enjoying yourselves. I am Jasmine, owner of this club." A wave of clapping filled the air. "Tonight we're going to have lots of fun. Let's start by having a little competition."
Four odd-looking machines, two on each side of Jasmine appeared. They each had round standing-up handle in the back, a platform with four light panels, one up, one down, one left, and one right, and a black, dark T.V. screen. "These machines are used for a muggle video game called, Dance Dance Revolution. To play you hit the right panel at the right time on the screen. Timing of when you step on the right panel is rated by, Good, Bad; Perfect, and Miss. Bad and Miss steps will decrease your point bar. Perfect steps will increase you point bar. You lose when your point bar is empty." instructed Jasmine.
"Now we will have two players go against two players. Winner will get 250 Galleons, each." Everyone around Harry got excited. "I will draw the four names out of everyone that's here." She took a hat and drew the names. "Draco Malfoy and Professor Josh. Ginny Weasley and Harry Potter. Please head over to the stage. " The four people pushed though the crowd. Once on the stage, they waited for Jasmine to start them off. "The only rule in this game is no magic allowed. Now shake hands."
During his handshake with Malfoy, Harry heard Malfoy sneer, "Potter, you're going to do awful, even if you live with mudbloods."
Now it was time to get on the DDR machine. Harry and Ginny got on theirs. Professor Josh walked to his spot, then Malfoy. Malfoy started to put his left foot on the platform. That is how far he got before he was thrown across the club.
He landed on the floor after hitting the wall with a loud thud, and a large group of students gathered. Jasmine paced though people, "Out of my way!" with Harry, Ginny, and Professor Josh tailing behind. "Ah, look at what we have here," Jasmine observed while looking on the floor. Harry pushed passed a couple of onlookers, and what he saw on the floor was something that he thought would never happen again. The return of the white ferret! Jasmine picked up the scared ferret; "Now this is what you get when you cheat!" she told the ferret.
Seeing that her customer were scared, Jasmine explained, "Don't worry, he'll be good as new in a week Besides, I warned him didn't I? So, the blame is on himself. Can someone please take him to his Head of House, Snape? I will talk to both of them later." The white ferret was taken off her hands, and Jasmine took long sigh to collect her thoughts. "Well Professor Josh, I must now find you another partner." She spun around herself, and then stopped. "Here is your new partner." She pointed to the student in front of her, Kyrie S.
Harry, Ginny, Professor Josh, and Kyrie got on their platforms, waiting to start. Jasmine asked, "Is everyone ready?" The four people nodded. "Ready, Set, and GO!!" The four T.V. screens went on, and the music, "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" by The Darkness, played.
A strange voice said, "Look, Harry just listen to what I what you to do." inside Harry's head.
What are you doing inside my head?, questioned Harry. His head nor his scar was hurting.
Do you want to impress Ginny by winning with her?
Yes, I do.
Then move you feet when I tell you to.
Okay.
"Left, Right, Up, Pause, Down, Down, Left and Right..." ordered the voice.
Before Harry knew it his body was dancing with the beat. He kept on listening to the voice in his head. The moves came easily to his feet. Then the music stopped.
Jasmine declared, "Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley are the winners!!" She handed the winning duo their money and medals. Ginny gave Harry a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Students must head back to the Hogwarts castle NOW!!" The crowd started to head toward the exit.
Ron and Hermione came up beside Harry, "Gods, Harry, you and Ginny looked controlled out there."
Hermione said, " Poor Professor Josh and Kyrie didn't have a chance."
The two boys looked at her, "WHAT?"
"Kyrie was daydreaming while Professor Josh tipped over his big feet, and then they knocked their heads together, ending up falling on the dance floor. But what I don't get is, that Jasmine didn't know you were, Harry, or that she pretended not to." finished Hermione.
Why would she do that?, thought Harry.
