Part 6
Hermione: (Harry sits and play's guitar) Harry, don't you think you should try and figure out what the first is gonna be?You could actually die if you're not ready.
"You're telling me?" said Harry.
Harry: What? Come on. I mean, can't you just do it for me? Can't you just prepare all mystuff for me?
Hermione looked at Harry with slight annoyance. Harry gave her what he thought was an apologetic smile.
What are you doing right now?
Hermione: I'm writing your Potions essay.
Harry quickly turned to Snape. "Before you say anything, I did all my own homework!"
"Judging by its content," Snape responded with a smirk, "I don't doubt that you did."
Most people in the room glared at him, but Lily, surprisingly, laughed and whispered 'burn' under her breath. She realised people were giving her puzzled looks, so she cleared her throat. "I am sure you did great in school, Harry."
"'Great' might be pushing it," said Ron.
"He did better than you," Hermione informed him. His ears turned red as Harry laughed.
Harry: Oh, well do that first 'cause that's due tomorrow. But after that, after that can youprepare for the first task, please?
Hermione: Yeah.
Harry: Thank you. You're the best. (He taps her nose) You got it. Thanks, Hermione. (Ginny enters doing the pencil-trick) Hey, Ginny, come here. Iwanna show you something. Come here.
Ginny: Hey, Harry Potter.
"Why do I keep saying your full name?" Ginny shook her head. "I never did that."
Harry: Listen, I wanna play this song I'm working on. I met this girl that I really, really likeand I wanna let her know that she's really special.
"How much do you wanna bet it's Cho Chang?" Sirius asked James in a stage whisper. Harry ignored him.
So, well I just wanna know what youthink. Just for the purposes of now, 'cause I'm still working out the lyrics, I'll put your namewhere her name should be, but I don't think it really gonna work out, because, well, let mejust give it a shot.
"I think I can see where this is going…" Ginny sighed.
(Singing) You're tall and fun and pretty, you're really, really skinny…Ginny. I'm the Mickey to your Minnie, you're the Tigger to my Winnie… Ginny.
"I like how he just happened to write a song where everything rhymes with Ginny," James said.
Wanna takeyou to the city, gonna take you out to dinny… Ginny. You're cuter than a guinea pig, wannatake you up to Winnipeg. That's in Canada!
"It even has a geography lesson," Remus said half impressed.
Ginny Ginny Ginny – (Speaking) You knowwhat? This doesn't work with your name at all. It doesn't work.
"Yeah, not at all," Ron rolled his eyes.
But I don't know, how doesthat make you feel, emotionally?
Ginny: Wow… Wowie, Harry Potter!
"That's not an answer!" Ginny said loudly.
Harry: Don't you think it could, I don't know, make a girl fall in love with me?
Ginny: I think it already has.
Ginny buried her face in her hands.
Harry: Yeah? Awesome, 'cause it's for Cho Chang!
"Called it," Sirius said.
"Well, it was pretty obvious," Malfoy said, taking away Sirius' joy in a heartbeat.
Ginny: Oh yeah… she is beautiful.
Harry: What are you nuts? Beautiful? More like supermegafoxyawesomehot!
"Now, there's a word I haven't heard before," Remus smiled.
James turned to Lily with a grin. "You're totally supermegafoxyawesomehot."
"Aw, you're such a dork," said Lily and kissed James tenderly.
"Get a room," said Sirius.
"Get a girlfriend," James shot back, not taking his eyes off his wife.
She's thehottest girl I've ever met. She's far more attractive, far more appealing, far moreinteresting than any girl that I know, in my immediate group of friends. She's a lot more betterand awesome.
Hermione and Ginny glared at Harry who shrunk in his seat.
"I would never say that," he defended himself. "I'm dating you, aren't I?" He asked Ginny whose glare softened. "And the only thing me and Cho could actually talk about was Quidditch. I wouldn't call that interesting."
"Whatever," Ginny said as turned her gaze back at the screen in time with Hermione. But Harry could detect a tiny smile on her face.
Ron: What's up, Neville? (he slaps Neville)
"Why am I always eating?" Ron asked no one in particular.
Neville: Ah!
Ron: Move, move, move, move, move, move. (Ginny moves and pushes Hermione off the bench) Awesome. Hey, Harry, what's up? So I was justoffstage hanging out with Hagrid
"Offstage?" Malfoy said.
"Casually breaking the fourth wall," said Lily.
and I saw these delivery wizards bringing giant cagesinto the dungeons. I don't know what that's for.
Hermione: Giant cages? I bet whatever's in those cages has something to do with the firsttask! Harry, we have to find out what it is.
"Yes Harry," Harry said. "Listen to Hermione."
Harry: Hey. Hey, guys, chill. I'm busy. (plays guitar)
Harry sighed loudly.
Hermione: Harry Potter. (takes guitar)
Ginny: No, no, no, no, no, no, no! No, no, no!
Ron: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
"A bit of an overreaction, don't you think?" Hermione said.
Hermione: Guys, now listen! This could be a matter of life and death.
Ron: Well, it doesn't matter because it's after hours, okay? And we can't leave theGryffindor House.
"Since when has Ron been the reasonable one?" Harry asked bemused.
"Yeah?" Hermione frowned.
We'll probably get in trouble if we do. And even if we do, Shlongbottom overthere will probably tell on us.
Hermione: Neville won't tell.
Neville: Oh yes I certainly will!
Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny laughed.
Ron: What're we gonna do?
Hermione: It's simple, guys, the cloak.
Ron: Of course.
Harry, Ron and Ginny: The cloak.
Ginny: Wait, what cloak?
Ron: Shut up! (clap)
"Wait Harry," James said. "I know you said you had my cloak, but how did you get it? You never said."
"Oh right, Dumbledore gave it to me," Harry answered. "For Christmas when I was eleven."
Harry: (Neville says something about the bathroom then leaves) You see, my first year at Hogwarts I got a present–I got a present leftfor me. Oh, bye Neville. I got a present last year. My first year at Hogwarts. And, um, itwas left to me by my dad, the dad that's dead. My father is dead. I have a dead father.
"We get it," James said loudly, sounding a bit bitter.
I useit to solve mysteries and stuff. My Invisibility Cloak!
"Wow… that's, uh…" Remus started.
"…Red," James and Sirius said.
"And small," Ron added.
Ginny: Wow, oh boy, wowie Harry Potter. A real Invisibility Cloak! Oh, oh, oh, oh, do youknow what I would do if I had an Invisibility Cloak?
Harry: Oh man, I would kick, eh I would kick wiener dogs.
Ron: And I would pretend to be a ghost and I would scare mean people.
Hermione: I'd use it to avoid ever having to face my reflection in the mirror.
"Well, that's depressing," Ron said on an almost matter-of-factly tone.
Harry: That's a bummer.
Ron: Jesus, what's wrong with you?
Ginny: Well, actually, I was gonna say that I would use it to fake my own death and watchpeople cry at the funeral.
Harry: Okay, anyway, let's get out of here before Neville gets out of the bathroom. Alright?Let's get out of here.
Ron: Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, where do you think you're going?
"Really?" Ginny commanded. "Why am I not allowed to come with you?"
"Hey," Ron responded. "I have no power over what happens in this musical."
Ginny: Um, with you guys?
Ron: No, no, no way. No kid sisters allowed, okay? (clap) Besides, there's only enough roomunder this cloak for two people, so, uh, come on Hermione, come on.
Ginny: (Hermione gives Ginny the guitar)
"Oh no, I'm gonna sing…" Ginny muttered.
(singing) The way his hair falls in his eyes makes me wonder if he'll ever seethrough my disguise, and I'm under his spell. Everything is falling and I don't know whereto land. Everyone knows who he is, but they don't know who I am. (Starts dancing with guitar)
The room erupted with laugher and Ginny groaned loudly.
Harry, Harry, why can'tyou see what you're doing to me. I've seen you conquer certain death. Even when you'rejust standing there you take away my breath, and maybe one day you'll hear my song andunderstand that all along there's something more that I'm trying to say, when I say Harry,harry! Why can't you see what you're doing to me? What you're doing to me…
Ginny had become redder and redder throughout the song. Harry leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. She smiled at him.
"That was adorable," said Lily fondly.
"Shall we continue to the next video?" Remus asked. Everyone said yes. Some because they knew they had to. Others because they genuinely wanted to.
A/N: Yet another chapter done.
