Pirate Blood
Chapter 26
Glitter
Chris went to her room. Hermione was there packing, she ignored her. "Lavender, are you going to Glitter tonight?" Parvati asked.
"Yeah, it's awesome. Everyone is going there tonight." Lavender said.
"What should I wear? Jeans or a mini skirt?" Parvati asked.
"Mini. I'm wearing my orange micro-mini with my yellow mesh top."
"So I'll wear the pink micro-mini with the pink shirt that shows my stomach. Don't you have to wear something under the mesh top?"
"Yeah, an orange bikini top."
"Oh." Parvati said.
"You two do realize it's December, right?" Hermione asked, as she looked up from her book.
"Hermione, we can't let the weather stop us from looking hot." Parvati told her.
Chris took out a black tube top that had a green dragon on it and black jeans with black open toe heels and a black newsboy cap. "So you're going to Glitter tonight, too?" Hermione asked Chris.
"Yes." Chris answered, "You aren't?"
"Hermione hasn't ever been inside a club. She's happy with her books." Lavender said.
"Well she has been to clubs with me, so I think you need to get better sources for your information." Chris said.
"Ron doesn't like clubs." Hermione said.
"God forbid you do something without your Ronniekins."
"Don't be like that Chris."
"Then why don't you go to the club? God only knows when the last time you had fun was."
"Hey, I know how to have fun."
"Jane, fun doesn't always involve a book or nearly getting killed."
"You haven't called me Jane since we were twelve."
"Yeah, well you haven't been this boring since we were twelve. You really are just a plain Jane."
"Oh shut up. Jesse is going, so I'm not." Hermione said.
"Plain Jane, Plain Jane, Oh how she is Plain." Chris sang.
"Fine. I'll go. I have to go tell Ron. Convince him to go." Hermione said. She went into the common room to go tell Ron. He was the only one in the common room. Everyone else was packing for vacation. "Ron." Hermione kissed him. "Hey Hermione." he said.
"You finished packing early."
"Yeah, thought you'd be coming down soon. So I decided to wait down here."
"That's so sweet." she gave him a kiss, "So I've been thinking," Hermione started.
"You're always thinking." Ron told her.
"You've never actually been to a club." Hermione said.
"No, so?" Ron asked. He knew where this was going.
"So I think that we should go to Glitter tonight."
"I don't like clubs, Hermione. I don't want to go."
"You can't say that. You've never been to a club."
"There's music and dancing. That's all I need to know. You know that I don't dance."
"Please, Ron? For me?"
"Hermione, tonight I thought we could be alone. Spend some quality time together since this is probably the only time that the boys dormitory will be empty for a long amount of time. I thought we could...maybe...you know..." Ron said.
"Ron, we've been together for a few days!" Hermione exclaimed.
"I know Hermione, but we've known each other for nearly seven years." Ron tried kissing her. She pulled away.
"RonI don't think we should. I mean, yes, we've been friends for a long time, but we haven't been dating very long."
"We know everything about each other. We love each other." Ron tried kissing her. She pushed him away.
"Ron, I said no."
"Hermione, you don't want to leave Hogwarts a virgin. I mean we are a few of the only seventh year virgins left. Like I said before we've known each other for so long and we know everything about each other." Ron put his arm around her.
"That's the thing Ron. You obviously don't know everything about me." Hermione said, "I'm going to Glitter with everyone else." Hermione stomped up to her dormitory. "I HATE EVERYONE IN THIS DAMN SCHOOL!"
"Good to know." Chris said.
"Lavender, if I ask you a question do you promise to answer honestly?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah, sure."
"Does everyone think I'm a virgin?"
"Yes." She answered.
"Thank you." Hermione stuffed her face into her pillow and let out a scream. "That felt better."
"I still have a hard time grasping this Hermione that everyone here knows. Come on Mione, where's the girl daring me to do a shot of tequila?" Chris said, "Jesse misses her too."
"Don't mention any boys. I hate boys."
"Come on, get ready to go to Glitter." Chris said pulling a pink halter top and denim mini skirt out of Hermione's trunk. She also took out a pair of pink stiletto heels.
"Does anyone in this room think Draco Malfoy is hot?" Parvati randomly asked.
"Yes." answered all three girls. Chris looked at Hermione.
"Just wondering."
Chris was still looking at Hermione. "I only answered honestly. I wouldn't date him or anything."
They entered the club. It wasn't that impressive. At least not to Hermione or Chris. It just seemed like every other club. That was okay with them. A DJ was playing a loud hip-hop song.
They went to the bar. "Didn't know if you would show." a voice said from behind her.
"You thought that I would miss going to a new club. I haven't changed that much, Draco." Chris told him.
"So Hermione, going to start daring people to do shots of tequila?" Draco asked. He was wearing a black button down shirt with blue jeans. He figured if Chris and Hermione were here together something changed.
"Why does everyone keep bringing that up?" Hermione asked.
"She had a fight with Ron. I made her come here. She's a bit cranky." Chris said.
"Draco," Parvati had sat down next to him, "I'm Parvati. We have Transfiguritation together."
"Okay."
"So do you want to dance?"
"Yeah I do actually. Chris you want to dance with me?"
"Sure." They went out onto the dance floor.
"I hate her." Parvati said.
"You should have asked him if he wanted to dance with you." Hermione told her.
"Whatever." Parvati left the bar with a cosmopolitan. Hermione ordered a strawberry daiquiri.
"Where's your boy toy?" Blaise asked as her sat down next to her.
"I think we broke up." Hermione answered.
"Good." he said with absolutely no sympathy. He was wearing a gray tee with jeans.
"What do you want Blaise? You're not supposed to talk to me in public." Hermione asked.
"Everyone around is interacting. No one cares who they're talking to or dancing with. They aren't going to remember it in the morning. I just wanted to tell you, that Jesse is leaving soon. He doesn't have a reason to stay. Chris told him that he isn't coming when she runs off. If you don't come around, he's gonna run off soon. He doesn't need to be here. He is going to go back to California. He said he's got some friends up there. He's not gonna be around forever, Mione. Thought that I ought to tell you, cause he isn't going to."
"Why would he leave?"
"Surfing. You know those two Hermione. Can't stay out of the water. Jesse is thinking about going pro. He doesn't like hiding either. He also doesn't like being around you and Ron."
"I told you–"
"Yeah you might be broken up, whatever. I'm gonna go find a girl that I'm gonna regret sleeping with in the morning." Blaise left.
"Have fun." Hermione said.
Draco and Chris came off the dance floor. "I heard there was supposed to be a band here tonight. I wonder when they're coming on." Draco said.
About ten minutes later the DJ said, "Are you guys ready for some live music?" the crowd screamed and clapped. "Some of you may know this band because they play here four nights a week. Others may just be in love with the lead singer." Some of the girls screamed. "Well here's The Pirates!"
Hermione, Draco, Chris, Blaise, and Pansy's jaws dropped. Jesse Sparrow was singing lead. It was a fast song called 'Come on, Come on.' The next few songs were also fast. Then Jesse said "Now, I know that a lot of people are here celebrating the winter holidays. I know this girl wouldn't miss this party. Chris Turner? Get your ass up here." as an embarrassed Chris made her way to the stage Jesse said "Many of you may not know what a great singer she is. But she is truly amazing."
Chris was on the stage. "Sing La La." Jesse said in her ear. Chris nodded. "Okay guys. Jesse has requested that I sing a song called La La. Now, I'm gonna let you guys figure out what I wrote it about.
You can dress me up in diamonds
You can dress me up in dirt
You can throw me like a line-man
I like it better when it hurts
Oh, I have waited here for you
I have waited
You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be a french maid
When I meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna scream
You can meet me on an aero-plane
Or in the back of the bus
You can throw me like a boomerang
I'll come back and beat you up
Oh, I have waited here for you
Dont, keep me waiting
You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be a french maid
When I meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be a french maid
When I meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna scream
I feel safe with you
I can be myself tonight
It's alright, with you
Cuz you hold, my secrets tight
You do, You do
You make me wanna la la, la la la, la la, la la la la la la la la la
You make me wanna la la, la la la la
You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be a french maid
When I meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be a french maid
When I meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna scream!"
The crowd cheered.
"Chris will also be doing a second song. One which I stole from her song book and she is going to kill me for. Undiscovered." Jesse said. Chris glared at Jesse.
"I hate you Jesse." she said, "This song is about my ex. Enough said." The music started.
Take it back, take it all back now
The things I gave, like the taste of my kiss on your lips,
I miss that now
I can't try any harder than I do
All the reasons I gave, excuses I made for you
I'm broken in two
All the things left undiscovered
Leave me empty and left to wonder
I need you
All the things left undiscovered
Leave me waiting and left to wonder
I need you
Yeah I need you
Don't walk away
Touch me now how I wanna feel
Something so real, please remind me
My love, and take me back
Cuz I'm so in love with what we were
I'm not breathing I'm suffocating without you
Do u feel it too?
Why wouldn't Draco be with her? She didn't want to be with him before, because she was afraid that he would get hurt when she left.
All the things left undiscovered
Leave me waiting and left to wonder
I need you
All the things left undiscovered
Leave me empty and left to wonder
I need you
Yeah I need you
But that didn't matter now. He knows who she is. Why shouldn't he be with her?
When I'm in the dark and all alone
Dreaming that you'll walk right through my door,
Its then I know my heart is whole
There's a million reasons why I cry
Hold my covers tight and close my eyes
Cuz I don't wanna be alone
Trust. She lied once to protect her life. That shouldn't count.
All the things left undiscovered
Leave me waiting and left to wonder
I need you
All the things left undiscovered
Leave me empty and left to wonder
I need you, I need you
Was she really going to leave again?
Cuz I can't fake and I can't hate
But it's my heart
Thats about to break
You're all I need
I'm on my knees
Watch me bleed
Would you listen please
I give in
I breathe out
I want you, there's no doubt
I freak out, I'm left out
Without you, I'm without
I'm crossed out
I can't doubt
I cry out
I reach out
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
She can't just walk away.
Don't walk away
Don't walk away."
She won't just walk away. The crowd cheered. She got off the stage. The Pirates went into a fast song'Dance Dance'.Chris went off the stage. She met Blaise at the bar. "He didn't tell us." he said.
"No, he didn't." she said.
"Why?"
"I think he needs some of his life back. This is it."
"When do you think he'll leave?"
"He might make a run for it with the band over the holidays."
"The big question is, are you going to run with him?" Blaise asked.
Chris looked at him with a sad look in her eyes. "I don't know." she left to go talk to Dean.
On the other side of the club, Harry and Hermione were talking. "Do you think Chris will forgive me for spreading that rumor that I slept with her?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, I think she's over it." Hermione said.
"Good."
"But don't get to close to Chris, Harry." Hermione warned.
"Why not?"
"Because, Chris has a tendency to leave without a word. Whether it be the room, school, town, or even the country."
"Why?"
"Chris and Jesse have a lot in common. You see, they both tend to run from their problems. Sometimes Chris just runs because she needs to. She doesn't like to get comfortable."
This was true. Since Chris was thirteen, she always needed change. She had been to30 different schools before she was fifteen. Though part of it was to gain attention from her parents, she also didn't like to get used to anything. Kaylee's brother Jason had died in a muggle car accident when she was thriteen. Hermione suspected that this was what caused Kaylee to be the way she is. Kaylee had a fear of losing what she was close to.
"That doesn't make sense." Harry said.
"I've known Chris a long time. Even though it seems insane, there is a good reason behind it." Hemione told him.
