Hi its been a while but im hoping to continue my story sorry that this chapter is a little short.
Owning the Stage
After Dinner and their very dramatic morning the girls decided to take a walk round the lake.
"Can you believe Harry did that to us?" Ginny practically shouted.
Ginny had decided to tell the girls what Ron had told her and was shocked when Hermione didn't say anything to her only looked over at Pansy. It was then that she was told of what had happened earlier in the day.
"To be honest Ginny I'm kind of worried about Harry. He's been so different lately and not in a good way" Hermione replied.
"He's probably still grieving. I wouldn't worry about it" Pansy added trying to comfort her friends.
"That would explain the Malfoy thing but not what he did to Ginny" Hermione sighed.
"People who are hurting do drastic and stupid things. I would just give him time he'll come round" Pansy pulled her two friends into a comforting embrace.
"Lets stop talking about Harry" Ginny sighed.
"Agreed" I sighed "What time is it anyway?"
"Eh around half 6" Ginny replied.
"oh shit I have a band rehearsal I'll see you guys latter" Hermione shouted running off in the direction of the school.
Pansy smirked "Do you want to know what was happening before Harry walked ?"
The next couple of days flew by for Hermione her schedule seemed to be: class, lunch, class, dinner, band rehearsal and then bed. She only saw Pansy and Ginny at meal times and when she was going to bed but it was finally the weekend which meant the fun could finally start.
"Last class of the day then we can start getting ready for the dance!" Pansy skipped down the corridor.
Pansy wasn't the only one who was excited for tonight it was all Hermione had heard in her classes. Girls asking each other what they were wearing. Boys discussing how they were going to slip in some fire whiskey.
Defence against the dark arts was a great way to finish a Friday especially since Snape was not his old jackass self. Pansy and Hermione took their seats behind Neville and Seamus who turned round to talk to them.
"Ready for tonight Ladies" Neville asked.
Hermione grinned "Hell yeah. The set lists amazing"
"Did you finally choose Mione's outfit, Pansy?" Neville smiled.
"Got the perfect little number" Pansy replied "So you guys figured how to sneak your booze in yet?"
"Obviously we're magic aren't we" Seamus answers "going to turn the bottle into something else"
"Yeah magically stupid" Hermione laughed "The teachers will put a ward round the room so any items that have been magically altered wont be allowed in. You'll be caught. You have to go about it in a more …muggle fashion"
The boys thought about what she said and realised that she was probably right.
"So how are you sneaking it in?" Neville asked.
"Hip flask strapped to our thigh" Pansy smirked.
Both boys raised there eyebrows but before anyone of them could answer Snape appeared.
The rest of the day was spent in the girl dorm rooms getting beautified as Pansy put it. Every girl was rushing around trying to get into the showers before someone else claimed it while the boys were lazily throwing on a clean shirt and a pair of trousers. Once Hermione had come out the shower she was pushed onto a chair by Ginny who began doing her hair while Pansy tackled her make-up. Apparently the two girls had decided to be Hermione's stylist from now on.
"You two look lovely" Hermione said gritting her teeth as Pansy plucked away at her eyebrows.
Hermione sat there as still as possible singing under her breath till she was done. Looking in the mirror Hermione could barely recognise herself her hair was backcombed to give that bed head messiness to it. Her Smokey eyes and red lipstick gave her that seductress edge and her dress didn't leave much to the imagination. It was a short low cut black silk dress that clung to her curves in all the right ways. When Hermione came out of the bathroom the only girls left were Ginny and Pansy who stood there beaming at their handy work.
"You look Hot!" Ginny beamed.
"ditto" Hermione smiled back.
Both girls wore similar dresses to Hermione's but in different colours: Pansy's was an emerald green sparkly dress while Ginny's was a girly lilac dress covered in lace.
"Lets go everyone's already left" Pansy shouted pulling them out of the door and down the stairs.
Just before we got to the great hall where everyone was currently entering Hermione told her friends that she had to go meet the guys backstage. Leaving the girls to head on into the hall themselves. Hermione slipped through the door that lead to backstage to the make shift stage where the guys were tuning their guitars.
"Hey guys" she smiled.
All three boys looked up and their jaws dropped Hermione smiled walking over to them "You lot look nice"
"You to Hermione" Ron finally stuttered out.
The boys who hadn't quite found their voice yet nodded in agreement making Hermione smile again. She had done that a lot tonight.
"Good because I went through bloody torture" She laughed "Anyway when are we up?"
"5 minutes. You ready?" Cormac asked although his eyes never reached her's instead they lingered at her bust.
"My eyes are up here Cormac!" She exasperated.
I hope Pansy's happy Hermione thought.
While the boys were setting up their instruments Hermione decided to peek out the curtains. It was the same layout as the Yule ball but instead of the icy decorations the great hall was dressed up as a night club with strobe lights bouncing off the walls. Girls were dressed in their best party dresses giggling with each other and eyeing up the boys they wanted to dance with. The boys too were checking out the girls but most of them where trying to keep their alcohol hidden from the teachers watchful eyes.
"You ready Mione" Ron shouted from behind her.
Swallowing the nerves of performing in front of so many people Hermione nodded.
"I would like to introduce a very talented group called The Incarnations"
The boys walked on stage first.
"Hello Classmates! We're going to play a few songs to get this party started so here we go" Cormac shouted to the crowd.
Hermione who was still backstage waiting on her cue chuckled at his cheesiness.
The boys picked up their instrument and began to play. (Where them girls at- David Guetta ft Nicki Minaj )

The atmosphere was incredibly Hermione thought she had never really rapped in front of anyone before except the band who encouraged her to do this song as the opening. Song after song the band loved the spotlight and the crowd loved them. From Lady gaga to Taylor Swift to The Pretty Reckless they made sure they fit everyone's taste of music into their set list. Girls swooned over the boys while Hermione's male classmates couldn't keep their eyes off her. Half way through their set list Hermione took a break while the boys sang. She jumped off the stairs careful not to fall in her heels and made her way over to Ginny and Pansy.
"Omg you guys where amazing!" Ginny gushed "and every eye was on you"
Hermione rolled her eyes at her best friends statement and turned to Pansy who was secretly pouring her a vodka and coke.
Pansy handed her the glass "Well deserved!"
Draco had seen Hermione perform before and was shocked by the way she moved on stage. He knew their would be many shocked faces when she started to sing but he didn't think he would be amongst them again. The way Granger commanded the stage and the audience was hot and he knew he wasn't the only one thinking it. He had seen them adjust themselves in the corner of the room. His thoughts were cut by Blaise who elbowed him in the side.
Blaise nodded at the direction of the three girls and they began to walk over. Just as they got near them Draco saw Harry coming up behind Granger and pulling her into a awkward hug.
"You where great Mione" he smiled.
Hermione gave Harry a quick glance "Thanks Harry" she replied quietly.
Draco couldn't help himself "He's right Granger you were good"
Hermione's head turned around so fast at his voice she thought she had given herself whiplash.
But before she could reply Blaise cocked his head to the side and smirked "You can definitely work those hips Granger"
"Eh Thanks" Hermione was really sure how to reply to that
"Wanna dance?" Blaise wiggled his eyebrows.
"I got to get back…but rain check?" she asked.
"Sure thing sweet cheeks" he smirked at the blush forming on Hermione's cheeks.
Blaise turned to round to a glaring Draco. Shrugging Blaise turned to asked the two girls if they wanted to dance. Taking both their hands he pulled them towards the grind fest smirking at Draco as he passed leaving him to standing next to his nemeses.
Hermione was glad to be back on stage the adrenaline that rushed through her made her feel like she could handle anything. The next few songs had a sexy vibe to them a side not many had seen from the typical bookworm. With hips swaying Hermione held everyone's attention. When their set list was over and they could return to the party she was singled out a lot boys winked as she walked past. Hermione didn't care much for the attention and instead searched the crowd for her friends.
Its been a while but what did you think?
