Inspired by icyalicev's Masked Love and Hermione's Secret Red Riding Hood's Cinderella Halloween
7th year.
Dumbledore defeated Voldemort in fifth year.
Harry isn't the chosen one.
Hermione never became friends with Harry and Ron.
Ginny and Luna are in the same year as everyone.
Harry is best friends with Drace, Blaise, Theodore, and Adrian (and, of course, Ron).

In the Great hall (Normal POV)
"May I have your attention, please." Everyone quiet."Thank you. Now, I would like to start off by saying, Does anyone think I should get a tattoo? Or an ear-piercing perhaps? Or maybe I should just wear jeans? Huh? What do you all think? I want to see what's all the fuss with that stuff and you children. Well, what do you think? Should I?"
Everyone stared at him in horror, imagining their Headmaster with a tattoo, an ear-pierce, and wearing jeans. It was not a pretty image.
The whole Great Hall erupted with "NO!s" , "Dear Merlin!", pleas were heard everywhere, and everyone was looking at him like he's a nut case (which he kind of is, he's brilliant, but still a nut case).
Dumbledore said with a twinkle in eyes, "Oh well, then. On to other pressing news, we will be having a ball to celebrate the anniversary defeat of the Dark Lord." Everyone were cheering and clapping. "But, it will be a formal masquerade ball and you will not bring a date." At that, the clapping and cheering ceased. "Instead, in Potions class, you will brew a potion that will show you your future mate for the ball, but of course they will be wearing what they will wear at the ball, with their masks. So, keep a sharp eye for them at the ball. Also, everyone is required to come, NO EXCUSES!" At that, everyone started protesting. "If I hear one more protest to the ball and to their requirements I shall revoke all Hogsmeade trips for the rest of the year." That shut everyone up.
Dumbledore smiled at them and said," Good, now, enjoy your evening meals." But, no one had the appetite anymore.
In the Room of Requirement
"I can't believe Dumbledore would do that to us! He's practically forcing us!" exclaimed Hermione Granger.
"I bet you it's just another house unity scam, just like the other times," sighed Pansy Parkinson.
Grace Livingstick groaned and said," When is he gonna give up on that?"
"Hey, I became friends with all of you!" exclained Pansy.
"Yes, but that's because you actually have a soul and is nice to us. And we also don't pound our ears with arguments." says Ginny Weasley.
"Oh, and Pansy, you're not JUST a friend, you're our BEST FRIEND and SISTER," says Luna Lovegood.
"And you forgot to add in we love you, Pans," says a smiling Grace.
"Aww, love you girls, too." Says Pansy.
The 5 girls giggled and grouped into a hug.
"I bet the first 10 minutes everyone will die of boredom and leave," says Grace.
"Nahh..."says Luna, everyone looks at her. "I bet it won't even last 5 minutes," continued Luna.
Everyone laughed, then Ginny brought up the dreading topic.
"So, are we going or what? If we don't, we won't get to go to Hogsmeade anymore," groaned Ginny.
"Looks like we have to, or we'll be stuck in Hogwarts all year and go insane," says Grace.
Everyone groaned.
"But it's not even our thing, I'd rather go to a party in the Forbidden Forest, at least something worthwhile will happen there," says Hermione. Everyone agreed with her.
"Balls are so boring. You just dress up and make yourself pretty for one night and that's it. Just dancing, drinking punch, and probably snogging couples in corners," says Pansy. Everyone groaned.
"Well, I think we should go. To protect our Hogsmeade privileges and to try to have fun," says Ginny encouragingly.
"Even if there's a possible chance it'll entirely boring?" asks Pansy.
"Even if there's a possible chance we'll get stuck to a creep?" asks Grace.
"Even if there's a possible chance we'll have a terrible night?" asks Hermione.
"We can try, can't we?" says Luna.
"Alright," the girls said simultaneously and banged their heads on the tables that just appeared at that moment. (Room of Requirement, remember?)
Review your opinion, please.
