Author's Note: This chapter is to clarify that Hermione, Lavender, and Parvati are not madly in love with each other, and they were doing nothing... too bad in their dorm. xDD
Ginny woke up the next day and went out of her dorm carrying Lavender's shirt, still clad in her pajamas. Her hair pretty much stuck up every which way, but did it look like she cared? She knocked on the door of Lavender's dorm and in return she got no answer. The small girl continued doing this, rocking back and forth on her feet, and still no one answered.
Finally, Ginny just opened the door and hoped she'd see nothing she didn't want to see. No one was inside. "Lavender? Hermione? Parvati?" she called out. No answer. "Well, that explains why no one answered the door!" she muttered to herself, beginning to look around the room. She looked under beds and opened trunks as if hoping the girls would pop out, but all she found was a pair of fluffy pink slippers and some silky underwear.
The redhead sighed. She was just about to leave until she noticed that the closet door was opened a small way. Maybe they're hiding in there. AHA! I bet they are! she thought to herself, scurrying over. Ginny kung-fu kicked the door open and found that it was...a closet. Big surprise. But, nothing was in it. And she heard an odd noise that sounded as if it were beating against the walls and ricocheting back into another room. The funny thing was, it was a puny closet.
Stepping inside, Ginny swung Lavender's shirt around her neck and started feeling the walls, as if it would give her a solution. And it did. When she ran her fingers across the back wall of the closet, it opened like an elevator door and blinded her with pink lights dancing on the surface of a large building. It was a purple building, and large pink letters lit up across it, reading THE COW JUMPER. Being the curious Gryffindor that she was, Ginny entered the strange building. It was full of people, all facing a large stage-like platform, cheering for some reason unknown to Ginny.
To get a closer look, she slipped through the crowd and made her way to the front. There were four or five girls, all dressed in tube tops, tight mini-skirts, and long boots, dancing in a most unusual way. Among those girls, Ginny noticed Hermione, Parvati, and Lavender. She watched them with the expression of a shocked person, never thinking that she'd see these three girls doing what they currently were. In the center of the stage was a drum set and two microphones, and the girls were dancing along the edges of the stage. Ginny stood at the side of the stage and called up to the girls.
"Hermione!" she whispered, calling up to the passing girl. Upon seeing Ginny, Hermione gasped, looked out at the crowd, and jumped off of the stage next to Ginny.
"Ginny! What--? How did you--?" she spluttered at the girl with wide eyes.
Ginny studied Hermione for a minute. She wore large, black earrings in the shape of a cow, and a lot of make-up. Her hair was straight, and she wore a headband with false cow ears attached. The tube top she wore matched her cow ears, and her mini-skirt and boots were merely black (Ginny had to admit the boots were awfully shiny, though.) Upon glancing at the stage, she noticed that all of the girls were wearing cow-patterned clothing. That explained the name of the club.
"I was coming to return Lavender's shirt, but no one answered, so I came in and searched for you. Then when I noticed the open closet, I thought you might be hiding in there, so I looked. I felt the walls because I heard an odd noise--which must be from in here--and I found this place."
"Lavender, Parvati, and I dance here every day. It's a famous wizarding club, but we had to be able to access it without leaving the castle. It's basically to earn a few extra galleons, plus they were in need of dancers. A Muggle band called KISS is playing here tonight. Er, well, an imitation of the band. Why don't you take a seat in the VIP section and I'll bring Lavender and Parvati over?" Hermione pointed to a set of booths. Ginny nodded and went over to the VIP section, sliding into one of the booths.
A few minutes later, Hermione came over and sat next to Ginny, Lavender and Parvati following. They, too, had straight hair and cow-patterned outfits on.
"Hi, Ginny!" Parvati said, smiling.
"Hi, Parvati. Hi, Lavender," Ginny said happily. "Before I forget, here you go, Lavender." She handed her the sparkly shirt.
"Thanks," Lavender said.
"Hermione told us how you got here. If you were wondering, or if you even noticed, that's why we were acting a bit...weird yesterday," Parvati explained. "Did Hermione also tell you that an imitation of the Muggle band KISS is playing here tonight? You should stay for the show! It's probably about to start any minute now."
"I'll stay. Who will be imitating the band?" asked Ginny.
"Harry Potter will be Gene Simmons, Ron Weasley will be Paul Stanley, Seamus Finnigan will be Tommy Thayer, and Dean Thomas will be Eric Singer. The real KISS is basically a group of men who dress up in mime make-up and unusual women's costumes," Lavender informed her.
Ginny giggled. "Harry and Ron?" she asked, looking as if she would burst into laughter.
"Yes. It was their idea, and they somehow convinced Seamus and Dean to join," Hermione said, saying all of this with an amused expression on her face. A sudden ringing noise sounded throughout the club, and the crowd cheered louder.
"Oh, the show must be starting! Samuel told us we could watch from The Towers. Ginny, you can come too," Parvati said excitedly. The four girls went up a winding staircase that lead them to a large tower that looked down upon the stage. They all leaned over the edge just as a deep man's voice started talking as if through a loudspeaker.
"All you wild teenagers, give it up for KISS and All Hell's Breakin' Loose!"
Ginny watched as four guys walked out onto the stage. One of them was carrying a bass, and two of them were carrying guitars. She could tell who was who almost the moment she saw them. Dean Thomas was the one taking his seat behind the drums, Seamus Finnigan was the one with the lead guitar, Ron was the one who played the rhythm guitar and stood in front of a microphone, and Harry stood in front of the other microphone with the bass.
All at once, the music started and the boys sang in surprisingly good voices.
"Street hustler comes up to me one day
And I'm walkin' down the street, mindin' my own business
Now he looks me up and he looks me down and says
"Hey man, what be this?" and "What be that?" and "Why you gotta look like that?"
Well, I just looked at him, I kinda laughed, I said,
"Hey man, I am cool, I am the Breeze
Haven't you heard? There's a new revolution
Gotta spread the word -- too much confusion..."
The teenagers in the crowd cheered and screamed as the band played. Ginny could overall say that the whole concert involved blood-spitting, flame-throwing, tongue-wagging, and lots of heavy metal and hard rock music. At the end of the concert, the band left the stage but the teenagers still stayed, purely because that's what teenagers did.
"That was great!" Ginny exclaimed.
"I agree," Lavender said with tones of enjoyment. She glanced at a nearby clock and added, "Our shift's just about over. Let us change and we'll go back to Hogwarts with you, okay, Ginny?"
The smallest Gryffindor nodded her head and the three older girls went off.
Moments later, the girls were heading back to ground floor. Hermione's hair held its usual bushiness, and she'd put on her sweater and jeans. Lavender's hair was braided again, and she wore a frilly pink shirt. Parvati's plait swished behind her as she walked, and she wore some Indian outfit. They left the club and entered the closet, once again in the dormitory. Time didn't change on the Hogwarts side of things, but Ginny would find something to do for the rest of the day.
"I've got to go, now," Ginny said.
"'Bye, Ginny. You're always welcome to come into our closet," Hermione said with a laugh.
Ginny laughed, too, hugged the three girls, and left the dormitory, skipping down to the Common Room. And /she'd/ thought they might have tied up her brother and Harry and were trying to put make-up on them in that closet.
