Flipping through the program, Hermione tried to remember every detail of the performance and felt like she had done the right thing in insisting that the Weasleys attend the muggle entertainment. Still, she couldn’t help but feel that Mr. Weasley was very upset about something as he hunched over the steering wheel of the car with his lips pressed so tightly together that she thought they were going to split.

“Ron, why is your father so upset?” she asked in a low whisper. “Come to think of it, why were you, Fred, and George all laughing during the performance? That was rather…rude.”

“Hermione,” Ron said still laughing. “It’s obvious isn’t it? There is no such thing as a Riverdance! Those were all wizards under the Tarantallegra jinx. That’s why dad is so ticked.”

“That’s not true! The performance is purely skill!” she snapped folding her arms across her chest. “Totally uncalled for.”

“Right, sure, whatever.”

“You know, that spell’s name comes from a dance originating in Italy where it was believed that to cure the effects of the bite of a Tarantula the victim to sweat out the toxin,” Hermione teased.

“Now THAT was uncalled for,” Ron whimpered.
