GRYFFINDOR COMMON ROOM - 10:42PM
"Sorry again Hermione. I think the Slytherin in me was just itching to fight a Gryffindor," Pansy apologised to Hermione once again.
"And I'm sorry that Pansy just wouldn't let my star shine out," Dean said, ignoring Pansy's scowl. Hermione laughed over the students that were currently singing.
"It's okay, guys. You both put on quite the show,"
"Whatever. Hermione come look at all your presents," Pansy pulled Hermione to where a huge pile of gifts was piling up.
"Wow..." Hermione gaped at the pile.
"The entry price was a gift. Potter's Orders," Pansy chuckled.
"There's so many. This is the best birthday," she hugged Pansy, "But how do you know people won't just steal the gifts,"
Pansy pointed at Seamus who was creeping toward the gifts, "Watch,"
Seamus crept closer and closer, looking around to make sure no one was looking. He attempted to get touch a gift when shield popped up. He was thrown into the crowd, landing in front of a group of 5th-year girls who giggled at him, while he stared at them dazed.
"Theo put some sort of charm on it," laughed Pansy. Hermione joined in her laughter watching as Daphne put an extremely pink gift box in the pile. she walked over to them.
"You have to sing with me," she demanded.
"Excuse me?" coughed Pansy. Daphne gave her look
"Not you. Hermione Granger," she gave Hermione a pointed look.
"Me? You, Pureblood Daphne Greengrass want to sing with me, Mudblood Hermione Granger?"
A few people looked over when she said that and Pansy winced. Daphne gave her an unimpressed look.
"Don't give me that. Contrary to popular belief, I nor my parents, nor my sister, have anything against muggle-borns. Have you ever heard me say anything about your blood?" Hermione shook her head, "Exactly. Surprising how you Gryffindors talk a good game about not being prejudice... but then anyone who is pureblood and Slytherin you immediately assume they're a blood supremacist,"
Hermione looked down in shame, staring at her feet, "I'm sorry-"
"Don't be Hermione, it's your birthday, you do-" Daphne cut off Pansy who was glaring at her.
"However, I don't blame you for being worried. What with everything you endured with Ferret Boy and Pitchy Parkinson, I don't blame you!" she smiled at Hermione, ignoring Pansy and Draco's indignant yelps of offence.
"To be honest, it wasn't really that I was thinking about. I've never been into pureblood society names or whatever but your name always stood out. Your articles were always about helping people," Hermione said shyly. Daphne blushed a bit.
"No one's ever actually talked to me about that… I think we're going to be good friends," she grinned at Hermione, "Now you have to sing with me," she dragged Hermione to the stage and left her to the side.
She started bopping her foot as the music started. People started cheering when they realised the Bachelorette of the Year was going to sing.
"I don't know why I like it
I just do" she sang, winking at Hermione. Hermione laughed as Daphne got into the song.
"I've been hearing your heartbeat inside of me
I keep your photograph beside my bed
Livin' in a world of fantasies
I can't get you out of my head" the entire room cheered as Daphne sang seductively. She beckoned Hermione over, who walked over grinning slyly.
"I've been waiting for the phone to ring all night
Want you to make me feel so good
I got a love of my own baby
I shouldn't get so hung up on you" People's jaws dropped as they cheered for the birthday girl when they saw the way Hermione was dancing. She blushed heavily as Daphne came over to her laughing.
"Oh I remember the way that we touch
I wish I didn't like it so much" The room cheered as the two danced and sang together.
"Oh, I get so emotional baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do"
"This is a duo, I did not expect," mused Draco to Tracey. Tracey laughed.
"Well, nobody ever thought that we'd be friends either so..." Draco blushed deeply as Tracey laughed harder.
"Ain't it shocking what love can do
Ain't it shocking what love can do"
"It's kind of surprising to see Granger willingly spend time with girls," chuckled Blaise.
"Hopefully it will make her less stuck up. I still love her though!" Seamus quickly said when he received shocked looks from the other boys.
"I gotta watch you walk in the room baby
I gotta watch you walkout
I like the animal way you move
And when you talk, I just watch your mouth"
"Their dance moves are incredible," complemented Padma Patil who was swaying to the music. She was with Cho Chang, who just smiled painfully and Marietta Edgecombe, who just glared at her surroundings.
"Oh, I remember the way that we touch
I wish I didn't like it so much"
Cormac McLaggen watched the two girls with interested eyes. Daphne was, of course, a beautiful witch, but she would never give him a chance. Hermione, however, may do. She had definitely gotten prettier than the beaver she used to be, but still not attractive as him. That's exactly the girl he needed. Cormac smirked to himself.
"I get so emotional baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do" Daphne and Hermione continued dancing, Daphne even smiling at Colin Creevey in the crowd, who was furiously snapping every shot.
"I get so emotional, oh baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do" The two finished to deafening screams. They laughed and hugged as they came down from the stage.
Harry came over, "That was amazing you two!"
"I had to have my chance to sing with the birthday girl," cheered Daphne. She hugged Hermione, "See you later, I'm going to go find Tracey," she skipped off.
Harry linked arms with Hermione and they walked through the party, greeting more people.
"Well if it isn't the snake lovers!"
Harry and Hermione already knew who the voice belonged to. They turned around to face the redhead.
"Hello, Ron. Come to your senses yet?"
"Me? What about you? Letting other houses into Gryffindor? This house unity shit has to stop, it's getting annoying,"
"Oh, be quiet, Ron! Hogwarts has to leave these childish rivalries behind. It causes hurt," Hermione reprimanded. Ron scoffed and pushed past the two. They watched his retreating figure.
"You know this isn't normal right?" asked Harry. Hermione nodded.
"There's something wrong with him. Don't worry Harry. We'll find out what,"
GRYFFINDOR TOWER - 11:29PM
Hermione, Pansy and Ginny stood out of the Gryffindor Common Room. The party had finished and it had been cleared out.
"There's more?" huffed Hermione, "I'm tired from just the party,"
"Too bad!" Ginny grinned. She and Pansy linked arms with Hermione and they started walking. Then music was heard.
"No, NO! I'm too tired for this," Hermione groaned when she saw the two other girls smiling.
"Ladies leave your man at home" sang Ginny
"The club is full of ballers and their pockets full grown" sang Pansy next.
"And all you fellas leave your girl with her friends" Hermione resigned to her fate and sang too.
"'Cause it's eleven thirty and the club is jumpin', jumpin'" The girls started singing and dancing as they walked down the corridors.
"Though he say he got a girl
Yeah it's true you got a man
But the party ain't gon' stop
So let's make it hot, hot" Ginny still a bit drunk stumbled a bit as she danced down the stairs.
"Last weekend you stayed at home alone and lonely
Couldn't find your man, he was chillin' with his homies
This weekend you're going out
If he try to to stop you, you're goin' off
You got your hair done and your nails done too
A new outfit and your Fendi shoes
And when you're through parlayin' at the hottest spot
Tonight you're gonna find the fellas
Rollin' in the Lexus, drops and Hummers" sang Pansy, as the two ad-libbed behind her.
"Though he say he got a girl
Yeah it's true you got a man
But the party ain't gon' stop
So let's make it hot, hot" the three girls sang together, dancing to the music.
"Ladies leave your man at home
The club is full of ballers and their pockets full grown
And all you fellas leave your girl with her friends
'Cause it's eleven thirty and the club is jumpin', jumpin'"
Arus was in his office, caring to Mrs Norris needs when he heard singing. He growled. He was told that there wasn't much he could do about singing students.
"I hate singing curses," he growled, stroking Mrs Norris's fur.
"Ladies leave your man at home
The club is full of ballers and their pockets full grown
And all you fellas leave your girl with her friends
'Cause it's eleven thirty and the club is jumpin', jumpin'"
Draco narrowed his eyes. He was sitting in the common room with his mates.
"That sounds like Pansy,"
"And Weaselette" added Blaise.
"And Granger," Theo added.
"A formidable trio. I'm kind of scared that they're friends," muttered Blaise.
"That reminds me. Where the hell are Crabbe and Goyle?" asked Theo, "I haven't seen them since the start of the year,"
Blaise and Draco looked at each other.
"We should really look into that,"
"Though he say he got a girl
Yeah it's true you got a man
But the party ain't gon' stop
So let's make it hot, hot"
Dean and Seamus jumped on their beds, dancing ridiculously while Harry and Neville watched and laughed, cheering them on. They ignored Ron's growling and therefore didn't see the iris in his eyes flash red.
"Bounce baby, bounce, bo-bounce bounce, bo-bounce
Twerk it, twerk it
Shake baby, shake sha-shake shake
Work it, work it
Twist baby, twist tw-twist
You better dip that thing
(Bounce it up and down papi's mummies)"
Astoria giggled with her two of her roommates Agnes Monkleigh and Ella Wilkins when they heard the word "twerk". Three of the other girls who thought they were much to mature for this, shushed them, and the last dormmate was somehow sleeping through all the noise.
"Though he say he got a girl
Yeah it's true you got a man
But the party ain't gon' stop
So let's make it hot, hot"
Eustace Fawley fiddled with a snitch, "These songs are awfully repetitive, aren't they?" He said to his fellow Hufflepuff sixth years in his dorm.
Wayne Hopkins nodded," Can't deny that they're catchy though," he watched as Justin Finch-Fletchley dance with Roger Malone.
Ernie growled and slammed a pillow over his face.
"What's been wrong with him lately," muttered Eustace.
"Maybe puberty is finally hitting him," Wayne Hopkins muttered back.
"Ladies leave your man at home
The club is full of ballers and their pockets full grown
And all you fellas leave your girl with her friends
'Cause it's eleven thirty and the club is jumpin', jumpin'"
The Ravenclaw common room was in chaos.
"When will it end?!" screeched Terry Boot.
"How many times have they said "Jumpin' Jumpin'" Stephen Cornfoot asked Kevin Entwhistle.
Scott Ancrum and the rest of the fifth year Ravenclaw boys were measuring the girls' amazing pitches.
Sheila Brooks, fourth year, who was a big fan of Hermione Granger, told her friends who were also big fans of her "I want to be able to sing just like Hermione one day,"
First-year Maisie Reynolds, Assistant Head of the Hermione Granger Fan Club whispered to Melinda Bobbin, "I can't wait for us and the Ginny Weasley Fan Club to tell the Harry Potter Fan Club, Ron Weasley Fan Club, Draco Malfoy Fan Club, Theo Nott Fan Club, and all the others that Ginny and Hermione have sung way more than them,"
"Ladies leave your man at home
The club is full of ballers and their pockets full grown
And all you fellas leave your girl with her friends
'Cause it's eleven thirty and the club is jumpin', jumpin'" the girls finished unaware of just how much disruption they caused. They were outside the room of requirement. Pansy opened the door and pushed Hermione in. She received another big surprise.
"Happy Birthday!" yelled every single girl, 5th year and up. They were all dressed up in their nightgowns and pyjamas.
"What's going on?" splutter Hermione.
"SLUMBER PARTY" yelled Pansy and Ginny, as they both whacked Hermione in the head with a pillow.
