Masquerade
Prologue
At the beginning of 6th year Hogwarts welcomed a new teacher for Defense Against the Dark Arts. Olga Fedorova was a teacher from Russia with a hard accent but a kind heart.
Seeing the rivalry among the houses she had suggested a special ball that should help forget prejudices and unite the houses in friendship.
The special thing about this ball would be the enchanted masks every student got. Yet not only were the masks enchanted but a whole area of the castle along with them. From what Miss Fedorova had explained everyone was meant to put on the masks and go into the enchanted area. There they would come from all kinds of direction so nobody would guess which house they belonged to.
Dresses and suits were forbidden instead they had to wear their normal Hogwarts school uniform (without the house badges of course). By entering the area they would forget all about the people they already knew and see everyone as a stranger. Like this you were forced to speak with new people and maybe even people you dislike.
During the conversation the mask would transform to something you associate the person with. So if you like someone the mask might start to smile and if you do not the mask might frown or smirk wickedly.
For one week the fifth to seventh years would not have any classes but concentrate on becoming friendlier with the other houses. The true identity of the persons would be revealed on the last night when the clock struck midnight. Five nights of dancing, getting to know new people and forgetting prejudices.
/ I know this is a really short one but I only wanted to explain the theory of the Masquerade ball. This will be a short Dramione fic with one chapter for every dance and an epilogue
I will put a poll in my profile to let you decide whether to continue this of Mind Maddening Mirror first.
