Chapter Three; Dance Lessons

"Hey there squirt." Harry began with a grin as he sat down at the table a crossed from Johnny before Ginny sat down next to him. Johnny grinned back at him as his mother kissed the top of his head and gave him a peanut butter and jelly sandwich diagonally sliced.

"Here you go baby." She told him before she set his sipper cup down next to him and turned around to walk away.

"I heard that you were having some problems today." Ron began as he turned and grinned at his sister while Johnny took a bite of his sandwich.

"Hardy, har, har." She said sarcastically with a roll of her eyes.

"So anyway, do you want to practice after lunch?" Ron asked her.

"Practice what?" she questioned him back as he rolled his eyes at her.

"Paper folding." He began. "Our music for crying out loud! What did you think I was talking about!?" he exclaimed as Johnny grinned and laughed at him. "Well I'm glad that you find this amusing." He told his nephew before turning back to look at her. "I mean honestly Ginger you know I love you but you can be really dumb sometimes." He told her.

"Please, not in front of Johnny." Harry told him.

"Why not? There are times when I think that he's even smarter than she is." He said as Johnny put his sandwich back down on his plate.

"I'm a doggie, arf, arf!" he told them as Ron heaved a heavy sigh and rested his head inside his hand. Johnny was still barking when all of a sudden Luna walked over to them.

"Hi Johnny." She said as he finally stopped barking and turned to look at her.

"Hi." He said before he took a sip of his pumpkin juice.

"Your nephew's really cute." Luna began with a warm smile. "I really love children and I can't wait to have one of my own."

"I can. Johnny made me into a human bulls-eye earlier and he hit the target right in the center." Ginny said.

"Get over it, you changed your clothes didn't you?" Ron questioned her.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get in the middle of something. It's just that I just ran into Jessie and she told me that you were interested in learning how to step dance." Luna said. "Hermione and Eve already asked me to teach them, so I wouldn't mind getting an extra student."

"Alright cool. I just have to wait until Johnny's finished his lunch. Bill and Fleur went into Hogsmeade and I'm in charge of putting him down for his nap." Ginny told her.

"No nap." Johnny told her as he finished the first half of his sandwich and took another drink before he started licking his fingers.

"Oh Johnny you're a mess." Ginny told him when suddenly Ron wrinkled his nose and sniffed the air before waving his hand in front of it.

"Call me crazy, but I don't think that just the outside of him is messy." He said as Ginny grew a nervous expression onto her face.

"Don't worry, I'll clean him up." Harry assured her before he got to his feet.

"Thanks Harry." She told him.

"No problem, c'mon Johnny." He said as Johnny raised his arms and gestured for Harry to pick him up. Harry hoisted the little boy up inside his arms before he carried him away.

As soon as Johnny was asleep, Ginny met Luna, Hermione, and Eve down in the dungeon. Snape had decided that he would observe them since he treated one of them like his daughter and one of them actually was his daughter. "Hullo Ginny, why don't you go stand next to Hermione so you're all in a single file line." She suggested.

Ginny walked over to Hermione and turned around so all three girls were facing her. "Alright so before we begin we have to do some stretches. Eve, I do believe that you went to gymnastics when you were a kid so you should be familiar with some of these." Luna began before she sat on the ground and bent her leg while she reached towards her other one that was flat on the ground.

"Wait a minute Luna, how long is this going to take?" Ginny asked her.

"Irish step dancing takes a lot of time, dedication, and practice. I've been doing it ever since I was Heather's age." She said.

"No I mean today. Harry Ron and I have to rehearse our song." Ginny told her.

"Oh, class shouldn't be much longer than an hour." Luna assured her with a shake of her head as the other three girls sat down and started working on the same stretches that Luna showed them. Then they got back onto their feet and waited for their next instruction as soon as they finished stretching. Luna stuck both of her arms behind her back and interlaced her fingers before she took her left foot and placed it down right in front of her explaining her actions while she did so.

The other girls did alright with the first step until Luna took her right foot and stepped it behind her while she placed her left foot in front of her. "This is going to take a while." Snape muttered under his breath with a roll of his eyes before he turned around and walked away while the girls continued stumbling over their feet.
