Summary: A new girl shows up and changes the lives of everyone!
Chapter 1
"Right then, everyone ready?" Arthur Weasley said as he turned around to face the witches and wizards surrounding him. Staring blankly back at him were his wife, Molly, his sons, Fred, George, and Ron, his daughter, Ginny, and Harry and Hermione as well. They were standing in front of giant muggle amusement park called, 'Universal Studios'.
"Um, dad...are you sure about this? I mean, us wizards...we're not supposed to be meddling with the muggles or their world." Fred asked.
"Fred, everything will be all right. We have Harry here with us now, and he'll make sure that we don't make fools of ourselves. He can handle them muggles by himself, now can't ya mate?" Arthur turned to Harry.
Harry felt all eyes turn on him. He slightly smiled and nodded his head. He was actually beaming with happiness inside of him. For the past two in a half months, he had been sitting at home with the Dursleys. Finally, he recieved an owl from Ron asking him if he would spend the night with the Weasley family and Hermione. Of course, knowing that they shouldn't mess with wizards, yet with much regret, the Dursleys allowed Harry to go.
Harry was overly-excited to be spending the night with two of his best friends. But he has no idea that Mr. Weasley had decided to take a tour of the muggle world.
"We must buy something here, as a souvenir, for Patrick." Arthur started. "I'm just happy we have a friend like him. It isn't every day a wizard gets to travel to France for the holiday! And to think, he allowed us to travel by Floo Powder to his fireplace so we could have a holiday in the muggle world as well. It's a shame he couldn't come with us today...anyway, right then. Off you go Harry, pay for us with these...green papers." He pushed Harry toward the ticket booth.
After Harry payed for the group, they entered the 'magical' studio of muggles. Enjoying every minute of it, Harry, Ron, and Hermione began pointing to amusing muggles artifacts.
"Blimey, look at that Harry!" Ron exclaimed. "It looks like a giant, steel, silver world!" Harry looked as a rotating model of the earth, with a sign around it stating, "Universal Studios" went around as well.
"Bloody Hell, do people REALLY live in there?" George asked.
"No, no, no..."Harry shook his head.
"Oh, picture! We must take a picture!" Molly Weasley gestured as she lightly pushed her family and two guests in the front of the giant world. Smiling, and with a click of the camera, they headed deeper into park.
************************************************
"Oh, oh, and did you see when that giant fish popped out of the water? Even though it seemed burnt to a crisp?!?! Bloody hell, I also whipped out my wand!" Ron exclaimed, as they stood on the line for a stage performance.
"First of all, it would be extremely stupid of you if you took out your wand, Ron. Once again, you aren't even the SLIGHTEST bit concerned of revealed our world!" Hermione pointed out.
"I am, too!" Ron defended himself, slightly growing red in the ears.
"And second of all! That giant fish you call it? Well, anyone smart enough would know that they are called sharks. That ride, "Jaws" was quite entertaining!" Hermione nodded.
"Well, Hermione! Sharks, Darks, whatever they're called...I don't care. I'm sorry I don't spend my face buried in books every single bloody day of my life. " Ron shot back.
"Well, it would be nice if you actually DID study. How many O.W.L.s did you recieve? And how many did I recieve?" Hermione started.
"Listen you..."Ron began, glaring at Hermione in the face. Hermione glared right back, fists clenching.
"Earthquake!" Harry exclaimed, hoping to gather their attention. Luckily it worked. Both Ron and Hermione turned towards Harry.
"Say again, mate?" Ron asked.
"Earthquake! How brillant was THAT ride!?! When I saw the fire spouting out everywhere, I could've sworn that someone cast the spell Incendio!" Harry said. Luckily, Hermione and Ron started to chat about that ride as well, rarely getting along well.
"Right, and Twister! Twister was amazing. When I saw wind blowing everywhere, it reminded me exactly of the charm Aquilonis! Wicked, I tell you!" Ron smiled.
Right you are, Ron! That was exciting!" Hermione agreed. In the back of his mind, Harry smiled at the thought of his two best friends, who were only fighting a moment ago, were getting along great now.
"Hurry you three, the show's about to start!" Ginny said, waving for them to get closer. Harry, Ron, and Hermione jogged into a small arena and found the row of Weasley's all the way in the front. Running over, the each sat down and looked to the front where the floor stage was. In the middle was a medium sized, brown wooden square which greatly resembled a muggle dance floor. On either of the floor were two large square trampolines surrounded by blue padding. Behind the floor was another tampoline, only this kind was stretchy, skinny, and long, having a rectangular shape to it. The arena was white, and brightly lit, having white curtains as well to conceal the off stage portion of the place.
"What are we actually watching, Harry? " Ron asked.
"Well, I don't really know. I think it has something to do with muggles entertaining us in an unusual way. It's not like a theatrical play or anything. I think it has something to do with a type of dance called 'break dancing'...and another thing called 'raving' with sticks that glow. And a lot of gymnastics as well. You know, flips and junk. It's a group called the 'National French Dance Squad'. They're putting on a show for us." He said.
"Ohhh..." Ron nodded his head as the lights began to dim. All of a sudden, the arena was filled with darkness. Then, thunder began to fill the room and streaks of what looked like lightning tore across.
"YOU THINK YOU KNOW..." a deep voice boomed out at them. "...BUT YOU HAVE NO IDEA! HIT IT!"
All of a sudden, the lightning stopped and dim lights began to appear around the trampolines and dance floor. As an up-beat song began to play, people glowing in the dark started to stream into the arena. Some began to jump on the trampoline and perfrom all sorts of flips and back handsprings. Others started doing a choreagraphed dance on the square floor. In the blink of an eye, more started to do cartwheels and handsprings down the aisles as others began streaming out from backstage and onto the thin trampoline on glow-in-the dark mini pogo sticks, which were strapped to they're feet. As Harry could hear Ron mumble 'wicked' under his breath, he looked up to see people flipping above them, seeming to be connected to invisible bungee cords attached to the ceiling.
As a new hip-hop song began fading into the music, the up- beat song faded away. When this new song began, the people on trampolines and hanging from the ceiling took out orange, green, and blue colored glowing sticks attached to ropes that could not be seen. Many people on the dance floor took out the 'raving ropes' as well. Only one did not. This specific one began running backwards in a circle. All of a sudden, the person got down on the ground and started to perform moves that Harry believed were called 'break-dancing moves'. As all the performers in the arena began spinning the raving ropes together in a synchronized fashion, the solo person began to spin on their head.
"Blimey, will you look at that!" Harry heard Arthur say. The song started to sound a siren as the perfomers whipped they're ropes faster and faster and the solo dancer began spinning faster and faster. In a snap, the siren shut off and the lights sprung on. All the performers stopped they're ropes and posed around them as the one single dancer kept spinning. Harry could now see the dancer. The girl had glow-in-the dark sneakers, big baggy pants, and a tight tank-top. On her head was a glow-in-the-dark bandana which helped her spin on her head. Her black hair was dressed in pig tails as they spun around in a circle as well. Finally, the girl stopped and did a quick tumble, posing at the end as the last beat of the song was heard.
Astonished, Harry knew that he, as well as the rest of the group were staring at the young, Asian-looking girl who had just spun on her head in what seemed like forever. A man came from behind back stage with a microphone as Harry joined in with the rest of the crowd in giving applauses and clapping.
"And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen, the 'National French Dancing Squad!'" the man said, as whistles and screams burst thougout the arena. Harry watched as one of the performers standing next to the man walked over and took the microphone from him.
"If I could have your attention, please." A spiky haired, young man said in the microphone. "This performance you have all just seen happens to be the final performance of out little break-dancer...." Harry's eyes dropped from the man to the break-dancin girl and saw the performers around her give her little hugs.
"Jen is definitely one of the greatest people anyone could ever work with, and we sure will miss her. Starting in two weeks, she'll be going to school in England, and we'll be missing her dearly. These roses..." he said, as a person from backstage came out with a bouquet of roses, "are for her. She has blessed us dearly with her amazing skills and talents. We love you Jen, and we'll miss you."
At that note, everyone in the arena started to clap for her as she took a final bow.
"One thing is for sure...that girl is quite attractive." Fred said.
"Blimey, just attractive? She's gorgeous!" George concluded. Harry shot a look back at the girl who had tears starting to well in her eyes, yet a big smile on her face. He knew it as well: the girl is was sincerely beautiful. Her big brown eyes lit up her face, and her smile was amazing. He was still staring at her when he felt Ron push him a bit.
"Wow Harry, did you see that performance? It was brillant! Purely genius!" Ron exclaimed. But all Harry could do was nod, as his stare could not be taken from the young girl.
The performers started walking toward the audience as the girl placed the roses on the trampoline.
"The 'National French Dance Squad' will be answering any questions you have, signing autographs, and if you feel generous, will accept any tips you would like to give them! Thank you, and enjoy your time here at Universal Studios!"
Harry saw as the girl started to walk toward the audience, shaking hands with a couple of muggles and signing autographs. He didn't even notice that Fred and George were trying to plead and beg with they're father to stay away from the girl.
"I just want to ask her something!' Arthur insisted.
"No, dad! You're going to say something stupid! Something that reveal us!" Fred shook his head. However, Arthur tore from his sons' grasps and managed to catch the girl before she headed up the aisle. Soon enough, Fred and George started to follow, as well as Molly and Ginny. The trio soon found themselves face-to-face with that amazing, intriguing girl.
"You were simply amazing. Bravo, I must say girl! Brilliant you were!" Harry could hear Arthur telling the girl. Fred and George's faces began to redden as the girl started to say 'Thank You' over and over again.
"So that thing you did...the spinning on your head...was that hard?" Arthur asked.
"Well..." the girl began.
"Dad, please, leave the poor girl alone!" Ginny begged.
"No! Really, I love answering questions! Name's Jen. And to answer you're question, at first it was hard. But, as they always say, practice makes perfect. I started break-dancing when I was eight. I just turned 16 at the end of July, so you can imagine what eight years of practice could do!" she girl said nobly.
"Amazing!" was all Arthur could sayd. But before he could answer another question, Jen was tapped on the shoulder and asked to take a picture with a muggle family.
"Excuse me." Jen said, politely.
"Right then, nice talking to you." Arthur waved as the girl nodded to him. As she began to sign autographs, the Weasley family with Hermione and Harry started to head up the aisle toward exits.
"She seemed very nice." Ron said to Harry and Hermione. Harry nodded in agreement as they were a few feet away from getting out of the aisle.
Yet, before they could, Harry heard Jen yell, "Hey, wait! Potts, Grange, Weasel...hold on!"
Harry's heart stopped. "Did she just say...how does she know our names...wait....
At first, Harry thought he was dreaming, but looked to Ron and Hermione. They too had wide eyes and slowly began to turn around. In fact, everyone in the wizarding group did. But Harry's breathing started to quicken as he saw the pretty girl start to advance toward they're group.
Well, that's all I have for right now! Please, anyone with comments, crticisms (helpful at that), and ideas....please let me know! I hope you liked it! PLEASE REPLY!! I LIVE FOR THEM!
