Chapter 7: The Ball...
The Chosen One a dad.
Is Hogwarts going to become a nersury for Hermione Granger's baby.
Undoubtedly, Albus Dumbledore is asking himself and the staff the same question. An inside source has informed me that Hermione Granger is indeed pregnant with Harry Potter's child. What will happen to Hogwarts now-
"What the hell who said this." Harry ripped the newspaper out of Hermione's hands and looked at the picture of him and Hermione that Rita took in the fourth year.
"Harry let's look at this logically. Who knows about the baby."
"Let me list here... Dumbledore, The staff, Riku, Andy, Erica, Jamie, Ginny. Mrs. Weasley, Your Parents, Ron.. No Doubt Mrs. Weasley told Mr. Weasley who might have told the rest of the Weasley's... That's it SNAPE... He's getting back at me for showing him up last year in front of Dumbledore."
"But, Snape wouldn't endanger the school's reputation." Hermione and Harry looked at each other and opened their mouths before running off.towards the hospital wing. As they arrived however they heard the voice of Mrs. Weasley pestering Ron.
"...HOW DARE YOU SAY SUCH THINGS TO HER YOU DO NOT RUN HER LIFE AND YOU DESERVED THAT SPELL. Riku, from what Ginny has told me you are a nice boy and my condolenses(SP?) are out to you hoping you make a full recovery." Walking in just as the howler exploded Harry walked up and grabbed Ron by his hair.
"What the hell were you thinking Ron telling that to the press..." Harry began
"Telling what."
"Don't play stupid." He said before Ginny burst in gave a quick kiss to Riku before storming off to Ron and slapping him.
"What the fuck were you playing at Ronald"
"What are you talking about guys."
"You told them I was pregnant."
"I said I thought Riku was a spy and would tell you-know-who that you were pregnant. I had no clue he would go tell the press." This debate went on before they found out that Ron had told the press but not meaningfully. As they walked out of the wing this time Riku at their side they were watched and it wasn't until Riku threatened them with the spell he used on Ron that they stopped.
"Well sounds like Mudblood here isn't as good a girl as we thought she was boys. Or maybe Saint Potter could tell me how she was." The unmistakable voice of Draco Malfor was behind them. "Oh and Showbob or whatever your name is your sister is nice. She and I are going to the ball together. With some persuading she accepted of course." He looked from Crabbe to Goyle to Theodore Nott who was also a regular who then spoke.
"Hello, tell me Ginny how about you, would you go with me." Riku looked at Nott and then Ginny.
"Who are you." He began.
"Oh pardon my manners Theodore Nott."
"Right then I'll try to remember your name Mr. um..."
"Nott"
"Right Juanita."
"THEODORE NOTT SON OF THE DARK LORDS GREATEST SUPPORTER WHOSE FOOTSTEPS I AM FOLLOWING."
"Who are you."
Following Riku's statement they stormed off. Harry and Hermione laughing headed to the common room allowing Riku and Ginny some time without others around them. They grinned as Riku asked her what Nott's name was. As they walked Harry and Hermione climbed up to the astronomy tower.
"'Mione"
"Yeah"
"You realize what this means right."
"What what mean."
"We're putting up with the press all year. Oh and Ron's an ass."
Laughing she looked at the sky. "Your used to it aren't you. Putting up with the press."
"It's something you don't really get used to." They kissed and headed off to the staff room for the weekend meeting.
As Christmas break fastly approached Harry and Hermione spent some more time together after being told that they could have an extra week off. Mostly, they were trying to find out about Riku's spell. Riku, who had been getting some help from Ginny began writing some more songs. Andy and Erica were inseperable. Kim and Jamie had taken a rare likeing to the two pests of the school Ron and Draco respectively. While the girls were out shopping for some clothes for the ball Harry and Andy played Chess and Riku sat down and wrote some more. Before he tested them.
"Guys, I was thinking." He began.
"That's a first" Harry Commented as Andy made his move taking out Harry's knight with a pawn.
As Riku glared at him just as the girls walked in.
"Can you ask Hermione if she knows the spell to make instruments play on their own"
"Yeah, I do." She replied startling Andy and Riku.
"Sweet later can you tell me it."
"Of course." They went to go eat dinner the night before the ball.
As the hours past the night of the ball. Harry and Hermione faced Riku and Ginny as well as Andy and Erica in a Triple Threat Snowball fight that ended with no winner and the time came as Riku, Harry, and Andy awaited the arrival of their dates for the night.
Riku entered the hall early to set up the stage and what not as Harry and Hermione ushered in the students who were to open the dance. Ron kept sending death glares to Riku and Kim sent some to Ginny. (A/N I guess now might be a good idea to note that Riku broke up a relationship with Kim and she hasn't gotten over him exactly.) As the instruments played a slow tune for the first dance Riku finished hooking up his headset after he practically begged McGonagall who was still quite content with the use of muggle technoligy(SP?) in the school. Dumbledore climdbed the stairs to the stage and grabbed a microphone that was lying there. "Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome for the first time live the band called Ministry of Darkness." Andy and Erica took the stage beginning to play. People wondering who would be singing talked amongst themselves anxiously. Yet the music hit a faster tempo sending the students into a wild oblivion.
"They Fall in line one at a time ready to play" Riku walked in from the Hall doors. The song continued as Riku ran through the spectators. When it ended he finally climbed aboard the stage. "HELLO HOGWARTS!" He yelled into the headset. "Well we came here to raise a little hell and have a little fun so what do you say we get started..." They played a few more including the duet between Andy and Erica before Riku spoke again. "This next song wraps up everything we do. It's a blast to play hope it's fun to listen to this song is called the diary of jane." Riku strumed up a tune when he picked up his guitar.
(A/N these next two songs i take no credit for the first is Diary of Jane off of Breaking Benjamin's new album and the other is Lonestar's Amazed.)
"If I had to
I would put myself right beside you
So let me ask
Would you like that?
Would you like that?
And I don't mind
If you say this love is the last time
So now I'll ask
Do you like that?
Do you like that?
No
Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
So tell me how it should be
Try to find out what makes you tick
As I lie down
Sore and sick
Do you like that?
Do you like that?
There's a fine line between love and hate
And I don't mind
Just let me say that I like that
I like that
Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
As I burn another page
As I look the other way
I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane
So tell me how it should be
Desperate, I will crawl
Waiting for so long
No love, there is no love
Die for anyone
What have I become
Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
As I burn another page
As I look the other way
I still try to find my place
In the diary of Jane"
He bowed before speaking again. "Actually this next song I would like everyone to dance to yes Harry that includes you and Hermione. That means yes me and Gin will too." He bewitched the instruments to play themselves as he helped Ginny onto the stage.
"Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you
The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me
Baby you surround me
You touch every place in my heart
Oh it feels like the first time every time
I wanna spend the whole night in your eyes
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you
Every little thing that you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Oh, every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you." The song ended signifying the end of the dance right as a boom hit the hall and the students under year 5 were sent to the dorms.
