CHAPTER 21: The After Show Party!

Harry wondered around the Great Hall as the music from The Rocky Horror Picture Show boomed. More or less the whole room were dancing to the Time Warp in time with each other. Among the most enthusiastic were Ron and Draco. They knew all the moves. It was quite scary really. If they got exceedingly drunk in each other's company, Harry thought that he might never know the world to be normal again.

He saw the Patil twins consciously doing the dance but only very small. They didn't want other people to see them dancing. Beside them Lavender was bent double from laughing and giggling and Harry suddenly became very annoyed with her. He didn't like her and her giggling.

Professor Dumbledore was standing on the staff table doing the dance for Time Warp over-enthusiastically. If he went much further it was a dead curt that he would have a heart attack or something. Next to him was a HUGE bottle of alcohol that Harry was sure wasn't full, and next to that, was something even weirder.

Louise was doing the dance just as enthusiastically as Dumbledore but looking completely sober. Harry reached in his pocket and rubbed the star Louise had given him and thought 'Jemima'. Louise jumped down off the table and pelted towards Harry.

'What do you want?'

'What the hell are you doing here?'

'I got invited.'

'Yeah, but why are you here?'

'I'm having fun if you don't mind!'

Harry tried to retaliate but couldn't so Louise returned to the staff table and began dancing again.

Harry sat down on a chair at the side of the room and massaged his headache. Why was he still here? After pondering this for a while, he heard what seemed to be very angry footsteps wanting to rip his guts out. He looked up and saw Hermione storming towards him.

'WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO THAT FOR?' she screamed.

"Blimey, she has some lungs!" Harry thought.

'What?' asked Harry. He had no idea what he was supposed to have done.

'You cursed Malfoy to forget his words!'

'OK, no I didn't, however, had I known I could do that, I probably would have done.'

Hermione screamed at the top of her voice, which no one really cared about but carried on talking and dancing now the Time Warp had finished and Fall Out Boy had taken its place.

'Why do you think I'm STUPID?'

'I… don't…'

'YES YOU DO! I'm not, Harry! I'm smarter than you!'

'To be honest Hermione, I think you're stupid now because you're randomly having a go at me for no reason and what you're saying doesn't even make sense.' It was strange but Harry was calm.

Hermione whipped a drink from the nearest place she could find and threw it over Harry. The whole room stopped. The music seemed to be in horror and unable to speak, the people seemed unable to move because of Hermione's action and everything was completely still, a part from a small voice that came on from the left that said:

'Hey, that's my drink!'
