Chapter 16 Old Friends
"Hey Gin. There is a karaoke club in town for tourists. Want to go?" Adrian asked laying on his bed.
Ginny poked her head out of the bathroom.
"Sure I don't care" Ginny said.
"Cool, I'll call and get directions for it" Adrian said.
"Cool" Ginny said as her cell rang.
"Hello" Ginny answered.
"Hey Gin. Where are you?" Ron's voice asked.
"Hawaii" Ginny told him.
"Hawaii? How long have you been there?" Ron asked.
"Two weeks. Were flying back to LA tomorrow night. You should see me I'm so tan it isn't funny" Ginny said.
"We're?" Ron asked.
"Adrian and I we, we came to Hawaii together, for a break" Ginny said.
"Gin are you dating him?" Ron asked.
"Yes I am, why?" Ginny asked.
"I just, you two aren't... you know, together together?" Ron asked.
"No!" Ginny said laughing.
"Good" Ron said.
"Gin, it opens in 30 minutes. If we want to get the VIP room we better leave!" Adrian yelled.
"Ron, Adrian and I are getting ready to go to a club. I'll call you later" Ginny said.
"Have fun" Ron said, "Have a couple drinks for me"
"I will. Love you Ron" Ginny said.
"Love you too Sis" Ron said as he hung up.
"Name?"
"Virginia Weasley and Adrian Black" Ginny told the bouncer.
"Go ahead" He said.
The walked in and walked up to the VIP room.
"Ms. Weasley?"
Ginny turned around.
"Yes" Ginny said.
"Your guest and yourself do not have to pay if you'd only sing a song or two of yours tonight" The manager said.
"Sure" Ginny said.
"Great we have, 'Nobody wants to be lonely', 'Can't hold us down', 'Ladies' and 'I need you'." Ginny told him.
"Thank you" he said as he left them alone.
"You should sing too, A. That voice of yours isn't meant for just the shower" Ginny said.
"I might" Adrian told her.
"Aloha my friends. We have a special treat for you tonight, I now present you Virginia!" The manager yelled.
Ginny stood up on stage.
"So what am I not supposed to have an opinion
Should I be quiet just because I'm a woman
Call me a bitch cos I speak what's on my mind
Guess it's easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled When a female fires back
Suddenly the target don't know how to act
So he does what any little boy will do
Making up a few false rumors or two That for sure is not a man to me
Slanderin' names for popularity
It's sad you only get your fame through controversy
But now it's time for me to come and give you more to say This is for my girls all around the world
Who've come across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinking all women should be seen, not heard
So what do we do girls?
Shout louder!
Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground
Lift your hands high and wave them proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will, can't hold us down Nobody can hold us down
Nobody can hold us down
Nobody can hold us down
Never can, never will So what am I not supposed to say what I'm saying
Are you offended by the message I'm bringing
Call me whatever cos your words don't mean a thing
Guess you ain't even a man enough to handle what I sing If you look back in history
It's a common double standard of society
The guy gets all the glory the more he can score
While the girl can do the same and yet you call her a whore I don't understand why it's okay
The guy can get away with it & the girl gets named
All my ladies come together and make a change
Start a new beginning for us everybody sing This is for my girls all around the world
Who've come across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinking all women should be seen, not heard
What do we do girls?
Shout louder!
Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground
Lift your hands high and wave 'em proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will, can't hold us down [Lil' Kim:]
Check it - Here's something I just can't understand
If the guy have three girls then he's the man
He can either give us some head, sex her off
If the girl do the same, then she's a whore
But the table's about to turn
I'll bet my fame on it
Cats take my ideas and put their name on it
It's aiight though, you can't hold me down
I got to keep on movin'
To all my girls with a man who be tryin to mack
Do it right back to him and let that be that
You need to let him know that his game is whack
And Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera got your back But you're just a little boy
Think you're so cute, so coy
You must talk so big
To make up for small lil' things
So you're just a little boy
All you'll do is annoy
You must talk so big
To make up for small lil' things This is for my girls...
This is for my girls all around the world
Who've come across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinking all women should be seen, not heard
So what do we do girls?
Shout louder!
Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground
Lift your hands high and wave 'em proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will, can't hold us down This is for my girls all around the world
Who've come across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinking all women should be seen, not heard
So what do we do girls?
Shout louder!
Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground
Lift your hands high and wave 'em proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will, can't hold us down
Spread the word, can't hold us down"
The whole crowd cheered.
"Now I need your guys opinion. Would you like me to go straight to 'I need you'?" Ginny asked.
The crowd cheered.
"Alright then. This is for all you lovebirds out there"
"I don't need a lot of things,
I can get by with nothing
Of all the blessings life can bring,
I've always needed something
But I've got all I want
When it comes to loving you
You're my only reason,
You're my only truth
I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
You're the hope that moves me
To courage again
You're the love that rescues me
When the cold winds rage
And it's so amazing
'Cause that's just how you are
And I can't turn back now
'Cause you've brought me too far"
The crowd cheered as she bowed and walked off stage.
"That was great Gin" Adrian said as he hugged her.
"Thank you Adrian" Ginny said giving him a kiss.
"Gin, Ginny Weasley? Is that you?"
Ginny turned around.
"Neville? Neville Longbottom?" Ginny asked shocked.
He was the same boy she remembered, but much taller/ skinnier. Neville hugged her.
"wow you look great Nev" Ginny said.
"You do too" Neville said as he glanced at Adrian, "Neville Longbottom and you are?"
"Adrian Black" Adrian said shaking his hand.
"Neville and I went to school with Draco" Ginny told Adrian.
"Draco?" Neville asked.
"Adrian is... was cousins with Draco" Ginny said.
"really? What school did you go to?" Neville asked.
"he's not one of us Nev" Ginny told him, "But because of Drake, he knows about everything"
Neville nodded.
"Do you want to join Lavender and I?" Neville asked.
"We're in the VIP level, do you want to join us?" Ginny asked.
"I'll go get Lavender" Neville told her.
