Sorry for the long wait, but I've been swamped with college applications (blech) SO here ya go, the second chapter. Enjoy.
Regular P.O.V.
Weeks went by and Luna and Artemis hadn't done anything since the Daphne incident. Weeks went by and the girls acted normal, they went to their classes, hung out with the twins and stuck mostly to themselves. The Gryffindor-Slytherine match ended that though. The morning of the game the entire school was buzzing with excitement. The Great Hall was full of students talking excitedly about the game. The Weasley twins were sitting and talking to Oliver wood when Artemis and Luna walked into the hall.
Both girls were almost identical in what could only be described as a Gryffindor cheerleading uniform. A Red and gold skirt with loose gold pleats, the pleats weren't sewn together so when they twirled the skirt flared out. The top was cropped so it showed their midriffs. Painted on their faces were red and gold swirls, going from the corner of the eye to the cheek. Red stick on jewels were on the corner of each eye and each girl was wearing gold eye shadow and red lipstick. On their feet were red converses. Their nails flashed between green and silver.
Their hair was in pigtails with silver and green ribbons in their hair. On the back of their shirts were the Weasley twins jersey numbers. Artemis had Fred's number while Luna had George's number.
All eyes were on them as they walked toward where the twins were sitting with the rest of the quidditch team.
" Hello boys, Olly." The girls chorused. Over the course of the week the girls had made a few friends, most of them boys believe it or not.
Oliver Wood, Cedric Diggory, Lee Jordan and even Draco Malfoy, Blaise Zabini and Theodore Nott could be seen talking to the girls at any time.
Oliver whistled, " Woah girls, you look amazing." he said.
" Thanks Oliver, uh what's wrong with the twins?" Luna asked. The twins were sitting there looking dumbly at the girls.
" I think you broke them girls." Cedric said walking over.
" Love the outfits ladies, but what's with the Slytherine colors?" Cedric asked referring to the silver and green ribbons.
" We had to support our boys in Slytherine somehow." Luna said.
" You know how jealous they get." Artemis said.
" Speaking of which, we better go wish the boys luck." Luna said.
" Well good luck boys, we'll be cheering for you." Artemis smiled. They turned to Fred and George who were still in a stupor, and kissed them on the cheek, leaving a bright red lipstick mark, before walking over to the slytherine table.
" What just happened?" the twins chorused
The guys just laughed at them before Oliver stated that it was time to head to the locker room.
The girls hugged their Slytherine friends and headed to the Quidditch pitch. The stands were full of students and Luna and Artemis took a seat near Hermione and the rest of the Gryffindor girls. The girls were looking at them in a mix of rage and jealousy. All except for Hermione who was reading a book.
Instead of sitting the girls were standing on the bleachers, bouncing with excitement.
" Who do you think is gonna win?" Luna asked.
" I don't know it'll be a close game, Gryffindor's amazing, but you know our snakes have been practicing extremely hard." Artemis answered. At that moment Cedric, came onto the stands and went to stand with the girls.
" I salute you girls, you are the first people I have ever known to make the twins speechless. Well done." Cedric said clapping. The girls giggled, as the game began.
The girls' predictions were right it was an extremely close game, but Harry caught the snitch and won the game for Gryffindor.
The entire game the girls were cheering and shouting. When Gryffindor won they were probably the loudest in the stands. The highlight of the game would have to be Fred and George pulling the girls onto their brooms and did a lap around the pitch.
When they landed they engulfed the boys in hugs.
" Great game boys, you were great." Artemis smiled. The girls went and congratulated Oliver by nearly knocking him on the ground.
" Great game Olly." they chorused, each kissing him on a cheek.
" Thank you ladies, there's a huge party in the RoR tonight, you are coming right?" he asked. The girls grinned.
" We'll see." they said before running off to talk the their snakes, on a game well played.
Later that night, all of the houses were gathered in the RoR, music was blaring and the room had even provided a stage in case anyone got up the nerve to perform. Oliver, the twins, Lee Jordan and Cedric were standing by the bar, that had been provided nursing butter beers and talking.
Every now and again the twins would looked around, searching for the girls in the crowd.
" Looking for your other halves?" Oliver teased.
" What?" Fred asked.
" Luna and Artemis of course." Cedric said.
" We're not quite sure what you mean." George said unconvincingly.
" Oh come off it Weasley's, we all know you're smitten with them." A new voice said, coming to the bar. The group looked up to see three Slytherine boys walking toward them.
" Oh shut it ferret." the twins huffed. The three chuckled.
" No, I have to say, I agree." Lee said.
" Great game today." Blaise said nodding his head.
" Thanks, you too, almost had us beat." Oliver said.
" Next year we will." Theo winked.
" Somebody pinch me, Slytherine and Gryffindor actually having a polite conversation?" Cedric gasped.
" Shut it Diggory, though I loath to say it and will deny it if ever asked, but these happen to be the only Lions I can stand." Draco said.
" Cheers to that." Oliver said.
" Don't look now boys, but here come your loves." Cedric said, gesturing to wear Luna and Artemis were making their way through the crowd.
Both were wearing simple v-neck shirts and frayed jean shorts, and both were barefoot. Still they shined and all eyes were on them.
" Hello boys." they chorused.
" Hello ladies." the boys said.
" Hi girls!" the twins grinned. The girls smiled back. At that moment Hermione Granger stomped over to the twins.
" What's wrong Hermione?" Lee asked.
" Ronald and Harry are what's wrong." she said gesturing to where her two friends were being flirted by with Lavender Brown and Pavarti Patil respectively.
" They're so stupid, they actually think they like them? I know Lavender and Pavarti all they care about is status. Lavender only wants Ron because he's amazing at quidditch and Pavarti only wants Harry because he's the Chosen One." Hermione ranted.
" And neither one of them will listen to me." Hermione sighed, wiping unshed tears. She was hurt that her friends wouldn't believe her when she only had their best interests at heart.
Hermione was shocked, when she was pulled into a hug by Luna and Artemis.
" Listen Hermione, I think we got off on the wrong foot." Artemis said. Hermione nodded.
" I agree, listen I'm sorry I never said anything and even participated in teasing you. I guess it just felt nice to not be the bully-y." Hermione said, sounding slightly ashamed.
Luna and Artemis smiled at her.
" It's alright Hermione, all is forgiven." Luna said.
" Now, come with us, I have an idea. Forget about idiot boys and slutty girls, for tonight and have some fun." Artemis said and dragged Hermione off somewhere. But not before grabbing Lee and Theo.
Draco, Fred and George followed them with their eyes.
" What's this?" Oliver smirked. " Could the Prince of Slytherine fancy our Gryffindor Princess?" he muses.
" What?! Why tha-that's insane, inconceivable." Draco sputtered. The boys all laughed at him.
" If you say so, but know that if you were to say, court our Hermione, you have our blessing." Oliver said winking.
Before Draco could retort, the lights when off and the stage lights came on. 5 figures stood on stage, their identities obscured by the lights coming from behind them. Music started to play, and a sultry voice came over the mic.
Trying hard to fight these tears
I'm crazy worried
Messing with my head this fear
I'm so sorry
You know you gotta get it out
I can't take it
That's what being friends about
The Music picked up and the lights came on, to reveal Hermione at the mic with Artemis on electric guitar and Luna on base. Theo was on drums and Lee on keyboard. Hermione looked amazing on stage, moving around like she was born to do it.
I, I wanna cry
I can't deny
Tonight I wanna up and hide
And get inside
It isn't right
I gotta live in my life
I know I, I know I
I know I gotta do it
I know I, I know I
I know I gotta do it
Gotta turn the world into your dance floor
Determinate, d-determinate
Push until you can't and then demand more
Determinate, d-determinate
You and me together, we can make it better
Gotta turn the world into your dance floor
Determinate, d-determinate
Hate to feel this way
And waste a day
I gotta get myself on stage
I shouldn't wait or be afraid
The chips will fall where they may
I know I, I know I
I know I gotta do it
I know I, I know I
I know I gotta do it
Gotta turn the world into your dance floor
Determinate, d-determinate
Push until you can't and then demand more
Determinate, d-determinate
You and me together, we can make it better
Gotta turn the world into your dance floor
Determinate, d-determinate
By now everyone cheering and shouting, with the boys in the front row. Lee took the Mic and Hermione picked up a guita as Lee began to wrap.
Okay, It's Wen and I'm heaven-sent
Music like a veteran
Renegade, lemonade, use it in my medicine
Go ahead and try to name a band we ain't better than
Reason why the whole world's picking us instead of them
People need a breather 'cause they're feeling that adrenaline
Stop! Now hurry up and let us in. Knock!
'Cause we're coming to your house and
People keep on smiling like the lemons in their mouths
We're the real deal, you know how I feel
Why they're in it for a bill
I'm just in it for the thrill
Get down now I ain't playin' around
Get your feet up on the ground
And just make that sound like
Hermione took the mic and began to sing again.
Gotta turn the world into your dance floor
Determinate, d-determinate
Push until you can't and then demand more
Determinate, d-determinate
You and me together, we can make it better
Gotta turn the world into your dance floor
Determinate, d-determinate
Come on and, come on and
Come on and get it going
Come on and, come on and
Come on and get it going
On the dance floor
On the dance floor
D-D-Dance floor
Determinate
The song ended and the crowd went wild, as the group hugged and went off the stage to join their friends, only to be tackled into a hug again.
" Hermione, that was amazing, I didn't know you could sing, or play the guitar for that matter." Oliver gushed. Hermione blushed. " Well it's not something I usually make known." she said.
" And you two, is there anything you can't do?" Blaise asked.
The girls looked at each other and smiled. " No." they said simply, causing everyone to laugh.
" Now let's dance." Luna said and they dragged the boys off to the dance floor.
That night while Luna and Artemis were getting ready for bed, there was a knock on their door. They opened it to find a crying Hermione.
" Hermione, what's wrong?" they asked bringing the girl inside.
" I was in the common room and everyone was congratulating me on my performance, when Pavarti and Lavendar staring going on about how I was lucky to have this one moment of glory. That it was the only moment I would get because I was nothing. I was just a dumb bookworm who no one would ever pay attention too and that I was only good for my brains. No boy would ever love me and Harry and Ron only pitied me." she sobbed.
" And the worst part was that Harry and Ron said nothing. They just stood there and let them say such horrible things to me." she sobbed. Luna and Artemis were livid and vowed revenge.
" Hermione you know what they said wasn't true, you are a gorgeous, talented smart girl, who any man would be lucky to have." Artemis said.
" And the only reason Harry and Ron didn't say anything was probably because they're giving it up to them. But I guarantee that they're gonna look back and regret this." Luna said.
" You'll be staying with us for the rest of the year." Artemis said, with that an extra room was added and Hermione's things magically appeared.
" Thank you." Hermione sniffed.
" No problem sweety, now get some sleep." Artemis said as Hermione went to her room.
The next morning, the girls sent Hermione to the hall ahead of them, so she was not settled between Oliver, Lee and the twins, who glared at Ron and Harry. The teachers were mysteriously absent.
" Look Hermione about last night…" Harry started.
" You said all you had to say last night Harry, now go back to your whore." Hermione said coldly not even looking at him.
At that moment Luna and Artemis strode into the hall with purpose, not even looking at anyone and making a beeline for where Harry and Ron and Lavender and Pavarti were sitting.
Before anyone could blink, Luna had slammed Pavarti's head into the table, while Artemis took Lavender. They pulled them out of their seat by their hair, before landing a vicious punch in the face, totally shattering their noses.
When Ron and Harry stood up they were held back by Lee and Cedric. Luna landed a swift punch in the gut to Pavarti while Artemis had kneed Lavender in the stomach. Grabbing them by their hair they slammed them into the table pushing their faces into their plates.
" Listen here, you disease ridden, idiotic, worthless whores." Artemis hissed.
" If you ever say another thing to Hermione, if you even look at her, we will have your heads on pikes before you can say idiot." Luna said.
" Are we understood?" Artemis asked. The girls whined.
" I said, are we understood?" Luna hissed.
" Yes." The girls cried out. The girls turned to Harry and Ron, their eyes glowing with rage.
" When you come crawling back, begging for forgiveness, I hope she makes you suffer, I hope she hurts you as much as you hurt her. And I'm going to laugh." Artemis said. With that the two girls walked out of the hall.
Just as the teachers arrived.
" Merlin, what happened girls?" McGonagall asked.
" It was Luna and Artemis, they attacked us." Pavarti blubbered.
" That's a lie, the girls haven't even been here this morning." Fred said.
" Yeah, we haven't seen them." George said.
" It's true professor." Draco said, the rest of the hall said agreeing.
"Brown and Patil, were making out with Weasley and Potter and tripped and fell. Causing the plates to fall on them." Hermione said innocently.
" Is that what happened?" McGonagall asked the hall. Everyone in the hall agreed, even Pavarti's twin sister turned away.
" Miss Brown, Miss Patil I am ashamed you would blame your clumsiness on two innocent girls. I want to see you in my office after you get to fixed up. Come let's get you to Madame Pomfrey." McGonagall said.
" Oh Ronniekinss." Fred called.
" Expect a letter from Mum." George said winking as Ron blanched and ran out of the hall after his girlfriend.
" Wow, that was amazing." Hermione breathed.
" Looks like Lavender and Pavarti learned the hard way not to mess with our goddesses." Fred and George grinned.
