Chapter 2: The First Two Songs

Hermione:
You hate the way I'm always watching videos,
11:30 and you just can't sleep.
You think whatever I have playing on my stereo
Is so pathetic that it makes you weep.

All:
And the beat goes on when I get back home,
And I run straight past you to the telephone,
And my feet don't fit in your sensible shoes,
But you just won't quit till you kill my groove.

Lavender & Sally-Ann: Whoo
Hermion, Ginny & Pavati: it freaks me out, I've got to scream, I've got to shout
Lavender & Sally-Ann: Whoo
Hermion, Ginny & Pavati: it freaks me out like Halloween, I've got no doubt.

Okay, this would be a great time to tell you that there are spells on all of us, most of us couldn't sing to save our lives, but here we are on stage, singing a song we don't even know where the lyrics came from.

We only released one song, this one, and it went straight to number one in both worlds. The Wizards and Witches understand the sweet-ness to our name, the muggles, we'll, from what I've heard, they just think it's cute!

We owe our name to Remus Lupin, that wonderful and greatly relaxed werewolf, and his girlfriend. That's right, he's in love and she doesn't seem to mind the werewolf bit... Although, we're not completely sure she knows. She's a muggle, a VERY pretty muggle, if I do say so myself, and she's done him the world of good, he looks so much healthier, but on with the show.

Hermione:
I think you're weird, it's written on your resume,
You say I'm stupid and my best friend too,
And if I smile, you think I'm doing it to get my way,
And if I don't, I've got an attitude.

All:
And the beat goes on when I get back home,
And I run straight past you to the telephone,
And my feet don't fit in your sensible shoes,
But you just won't quit till you kill my groove.

Lavender & Sally-Ann: Whoo
Hermion, Ginny & Pavati: it freaks me out, I've got to scream, I've got to shout
Lavender & Sally-Ann: Whoo
Hermion, Ginny & Pavati: it freaks me out like Halloween, I've got no doubt.

You know, it's probably cliché, but I can't help but think this song would be perfect if sang at Hogwarts!

And while my thoughts have taken over, I should mention, Lupin's girlfriend is called Lida

Lavender & Sally-Ann: Whoo
Hermion, Ginny & Pavati: it freaks me out, I've got to scream, I've got to shout
Lavender & Sally-Ann: Whoo
Hermion, Ginny & Pavati: it freaks me out like Halloween, I've got no doubt.

Lavender & Sally-Ann: Whoo
Hermion, Ginny & Pavati: it freaks me out, I've got to scream, I've got to shout
Lavender & Sally-Ann: Whoo
Hermion, Ginny & Pavati: it freaks me out like Halloween, I've got no doubt.

That's it, first song over, we're standing there, big grins on our faces the crowd is going insane!

This would ideally be a good place to say that this is gonna be a piece of cake except for the fact that there is someone at the corner of my eye who doesn't belong there.

Hermione took a single step back from the microphone, she knew right now that something was gonna happen, she just didn't know what and when, but she had seen him, Wormtail, he was making his way towards a door at the right hand side of the arena, struggling though the crowd he'd caught Hermione's attention, but none of the others seemed to have noticed, at least not yet.

Slipping her hand into her back pocket, Hermione wrapped her fingers around her wand, the jeans on all of them had be adjusted ever so slightly so that their wands fit inside the back pockets without being seen, but with easy access, behind her, she heard a cough, a member of the Order of the Phoenix had seen her movement and just signalled that they where on the look out.

Hermione slipped her other hand behind her back and gave a small bow before stepping back to the microphone to start the second song.

Music had started again and the crowd have gone back to jumping about where they stood, the routine had started and just as the first line was sang (luckily not by me) Hermione lays her eyes on something else, this time a good something.

Ginny: Disco dancing with the lights down low.

Out in the middle of the crowd, having just as much fun as all the muggles are Nymphadora Tonks, Remus Lupin, his girlfriend Lida, Fred, George and Ron Weasley.

Pavati: Beats are pumping on the stereo

Sally-Ann: Neighbours banging on the bathroom wall

Someone stepped up behind them, looking completely amused at the sounding people, including those to whom he was accompanying, was to Hermione's shocked horror, none other than the hock nosed, greasy haired potions teacher, Severus Snape.

Lavender: Your saying' crank the bass I gotta get some more

Hermione:
Waters running' in the wrong direction
Got a feeling' It's a mixed up sign
I can see it in my own reflection
Summit funnies going' on inside my mind
Don't know what it's pushing' me higher
It's the static from the floor below
Then its drops and catches like a fire
It's a sound I; it's a sound I know

Ginny, Pavati, Lavender, Sally-Ann:
It's the sound of the underground
The beat of the drum goes round and around
In to the overflow
Where the girls get down to the sound of the radio

All: (in harmony)
Out to the electric night
Where the bass line jumps in the backstreet lights
The beat goes around and round
It's the sound of the under
Sound of the underground

Light flooded into the arena from the right hand side and then just as suddenly as it had appeared, it was gone, Wormtail had evidentially made it to and though the door there, and was probably now reporting to Lord Voldemort, but the show needed to go on. Hermione took several deep breaths while the song continued.

Sally-Ann: Chain reaction running through my veins
Lavender: Pumps the bass line up into my brain
Pavati: Screws my mind until I lose control
Ginny: And when the building rocks I know it's got my soul

Hermione:
Waters running' in the wrong direction
Got a feeling' It's a mixed up sign
I can see it in my own reflection
Summit funnies going' on inside my mind
Don't know what it's pushing' me higher
It's the static from the floor below
Then its drops and catches like a fire
It's a sound I; it's a sound I know

Ginny, Pavati, Lavender, Sally-Ann:
It's the sound of the underground
The beat of the drum goes round and around
In to the overflow
Where the girls get down to the sound of the radio

All: (in harmony)
Out to the electric night
Where the bass line jumps in the backstreet lights
The beat goes around and round
It's the sound of the under
Sound of the underground

Hermione:
I don't know what it's pushing' me higher
It's the static from the floor below
Then its drops and catches like a fire
It's a sound I; it's a sound I;
It's a sound I; it's a sound I know

Ginny, Pavati, Lavender, Sally-Ann:
It's the sound of the underground
The beat of the drum goes round and around
In to the overflow
Where the girls get down to the sound of the radio

All: (in harmony)
Out to the electric night
Where the bass line jumps in the backstreet lights
The beat goes around and round
It's the sound of the under
Sound of the underground

Sally-Ann & Lavender: The bass line jumps in the backstreet light
Hermione: It's the sound of the under
Ginny & Pavati: Sound of the underground
Sally-Ann & Lavender: The bass line jumps in the backstreet light
Hermione: It's the sound of the under
Ginny & Pavati: Sound of the underground

CRASH!

The song ended almost perfectly and then the sudden noise made them all look wildly around, something backstage had made the noise., Hermione moved first, walking quickly towards the curtain, the silent crowd watching, wildly whispering to the person next to them regardless to having met the person before or not. A sharp POP sounded as Hermione pulled the curtain back and the lights suddenly went out, pitching the arena and stage in to complete darkness.
