Pump, Pump, Pump It Up: Chapter Three: Great idea?

"Cass', mind helping me with a little demonstration for Ginny?" I asked, poking my head into my sister's room. I had promised Ginny to show her all I knew last night and I thought that I might need a little help. Cassandra looked up from her Tiger Beat magazine at me.
"Well, sure I guess so. Let me change real quick," she said getting up and going to her closet.
I looked down at my own attire, grey fitted tank top and black dolphin shorts with white lining. I remembered the last time I had really worn something like this for cheerleading. I was probably thirteen and it was for my last real cheer camp. Those summers had once been the greatest summers of my life.
"Ready?" Cassandra asked, coming out of her closet in a similar outfit.
"Yeah, I left Ginny waiting in the back yard," I said and with that we left her room and went outside.
CHEER!CHEER!GO!GO!GO!CHEER!CHEER!GO!GO!GO!CHEER!CHEER!GO!GO!GO!CHEER!CHEER!GO!GO!GO!CHEER!CHEER!GO!GO!GO!
Ginny was sitting on a plastic lawn chair that had been dragged to the edge of the patio. It was obvious that she was excited, she was practically bouncing in her seat.
"Are you ready, Gin'?" I asked as we (Cass' and I) walked out onto the grass.
"Yeah, of course."
I looked at Cassandra, wondering what we should start with. Well, the basics was always a good place to start. Easy, simple and not to over the top.
"Well, I guess that we should start with the basics, to get warmed up," I said hesitantly, not really sure how to start.
"Well, there's the cartwheel," Cass' said, taking over, and just in time too, I had no clue how to do a demonstration like this. "Would you like to do the honors, Mione?"
I nodded and got a running start, bouncing a bit before starting into the cartwheel. Easily done.
"And then there's the front flip," I said, immediately starting into it after the cartwheel, doing three front flips in a row and doing a final tuck, "And of course a variation of it being the front tuck."
Cassandra rolled her eyes. "Show off," she said and I laughed.
"Isn't it the point of a cheerleader to show off?" I pointed out.
"Touché," she said with a laugh, "but let's get back to our audience."
CHEER!CHEER!GO!GO!GO!CHEER!CHEER!GO!GO!GO!CHEER!CHEER!GO!GO!GO!CHEER!CHEER!GO!GO!GO!CHEER!CHEER!GO!GO!GO!
We went on like this for at least an hour, taking turns showing off the moves until we were both exhausted and Ginny was ready to explode with excitement.
"Oh my God! I just had the best idea, guys. What if we managed to get cheerleading for the four houses at Hogwarts? We could cheer at the Quidditch games! We could even have Cassandra come with us to help start up the teams!" Ginny exclaimed.
Cassandra and I stared at her in shock and exclaimed at the same time –
"That's ridiculous!" – Myself
"That's Great!" – Cassandra
As usual, our outlooks were completely different.
My sister and I at Hogwarts? Forming cheerleading teams? It was insane. But, I thought that I had nothing to worry about, McGonagall would never even consider it, though she would consider having a muggle transfer for the first semester, which meant that I was probably going to be stuck with my sister at Hogwarts. Joy.

Well, there's chapter three in all it's glory...yeah right. It was fun writing it at least. Ha ha ha. One of the things that helps me write this is listening to this play list I made of what I think of as 'cheerleading' music. Here's some of the list.
1. Hollaback Girl – Gwen Stefani
2. Rock Star – Prima J
3. Supergirl – Saving Jane
4. New Classic – Drew Seeley & Selena Gomez
5. Right Here (Departed) – Brandy
6. Start the Party – Jonas Brothers
7. One Girl Revolution – Superchick
8. Tell Me Something I Don't Know – Selena Gomez
9. Too Cool – Tess Taylor (Camp Rock)
10. It's Just You - LMNT
There is a lot more but for now you get the picture. Those are the ones I listen to while writing this the most.
Also, I know that some of you all are wondering where I got the idea for the title from. Well,l one of the cheers for my school is:
Pump, Pump, Pump It Up! Pump That Jacket Spirit Up! Don't, Don't Let It Go! Don't Let That Jacket Spirit Go!
If, If, If You Do! We'll Pump That Spirit Back Into You!
So now you know where I got that from. Love You Guys!
