Chapter Eleven; The Concert
As soon as Hermione went backstage with the remaining three girls she instantly regretted her decision to stay. "Maybe I should go back." She began. "Just for a little while anyway and make sure that Ron and the kids are alright." She told her friends.
"Alright and you even have some time to spare because the chipmunks go on before us." Amber pointed out when the girls stopped to turn and look at them as they slowly took a step backwards. "What's wrong guys?" she asked them.
"I don't want to go out there with all those people." Theodore said quietly as he suddenly started to feel his body start to tremble.
"I know how you feel." Hermione began. "That's how I felt the first time I performed. Nobody had ever heard me sing, I was such a quiet person, and I thought that I would go out there and make a mistake and make a complete fool of myself. But once I started to sing everyone else loved me, and you know what? I had the time of my life." She told them as she grinned over at them.
"Well at least you didn't have to go out there naked, and besides that I can hardly see anything." Simon told her but she simply smiled at him. "I think I have an idea, come on." She told him before she disapperated leaving the three chipmunks alone and confused. A few moments later she reappeared. "Oops sorry, I forgot you can't do magic." She admitted sheepishly.
"You think!?" Alvin exclaimed while throwing out his paws at her.
"Well come on guys this way." She told them before she ran away and they sprinted after her.
Meanwhile Ron had still been struggling to keep Harry in his werewolf form from attacking him. "I'm sorry that I've got to do this to you mate but I'm really not interested in turning into werewolf too." He said apologetically even though he knew that Harry himself could no longer hear him. That's when suddenly Hermione appeared out of nowhere and fired a pistol into the air that made the creature run away in fright with a cry of agony.
Ron fell onto the ground as he ran out under him before his wife quickly rushed over to him and helped him back up to his feet. "Are you alright Ron?" she asked him.
"Yeah but where did you come from? And how on earth did you learn to fire a gun?" he asked her.
"I'm muggleborn remember? My father taught me." She replied. "And I came back because Alvin and the other chipmunks are performing before us since they're opening us up. And I wanted to make sure that you and everyone else were alright." She explained.
"Well I dunno about Harry, but the rest of us are fine. Ginny went with April and the kids." He told her.
"Well I'm sure that Harry will be just fine now. The gunshot scared him away so he'll probably just sleep somewhere in the woods and turn back into himself again by morning." She said. "I've got to go now," she began before she kissed him goodbye. "I love you and tell Sheela and Chase that I love them and give them a kiss goodnight for me." She told him.
"Alright, I will." He said before she disappeared again just as Ginny and April had been arriving back. Sheela had a bagful of candy and Chase was fast asleep inside his stroller.
"Ron!" Ginny cried as she rushed over to him and threw her arms around him hugging him tightly. "You're alright! Where's Harry?" she asked him.
"Hermione came back and scared him away. Don't get me wrong, I know that she's always been a very clever witch but she never ceases to amaze me." He said.
"Well I hope that Harry will be alright." Ginny said as she finally let go of him.
"Me too." April said.
"I'm sure he will be once he's himself again. Well you better get back with Hermione and the rest of The Cheetah Girls and I have to put Sheela and Chase to bed." Ron told Ginny.
"Ha, good luck with that. This girl's pretty much already ate her entire weight in candy." Ginny told him before she disappeared.
…
"Hermione, Ginny!" Amber began before she rushed over to them and welcomed each of them back with a tight embrace. "I'm so glad that you're alright, and you've made it back just in time. The chipmunks are just about ready to go on." She told them. Hermione and Ginny watched with the rest of the girls as sure enough the announcer exclaimed that the chipmunks were heading out towards the spotlight.
All three of them hopped out onstage but suddenly froze once they made it into the spotlight and looked around at everyone staring back at them and gulped. Hermione had made each of them a hoodie that matched their eye color except for Alvin who had on a bright red sweatshirt with a yellow A straight in the middle of it. Simon had also had an extra pair of Harry's glasses that Hermione had used the shrinking spell on it.
"Oh no, they're as frozen as statues!" Amber (who was the biggest animal lover of them all) cried out in a horrified whisper. "We have to help them!"
"She's right, we've got to do something!" Hermione cried. "But what!?" she yelled as Ginny simply beamed at her proudly.
"Leave it to me." She said before she quickly disappeared onto the stage.
"Uh oh, that isn't a good sign." Casey said as they watched Ginny turn around and flick her wand at the stereo before she started speaking into her microphone that she withdrew from its stand and started the intro to their version of Witchdoctor before she and The Chipmunks finished their song and dance with a bunch of cheering and screaming fans inside the audience.
Sorry I know that was a lame chapter but I'm changing some things around.
