It was the end of the 5th year at Hogwarts for Hermione and her friends. Now it was time for the end of year ball. Hermione was in her bathroom getting ready, and she had no clue what to wear. "Hermione! We should get moving!" said Lavender.

"I have no clue what to wear!" Hermione exclaimed.

"Who cares, it's just a silly old dance," Lavender replied.

"Well if I want someone to dance with me for that final special dance, I'll need to look gorgeous,"

"Oh, come on, we should get going or we're going to MISS the last dance,"

Hermione put on a royal blue dress robe. It glittered on the top and had a deep purple see-through layer on the bottom on top of the royal blue. It looked marvelous. The neck's opening was very low. She wanted to show off her slim shape. Finally she was just a little bit of blush and a drop of lip gloss away from leaving.

Hermione and Lavender finally arrived at the ball. They walked through the big door to the dining hall and Hermione was more than amazed. It was decorated in blue and gold. The long tables were removed and little square tables for two were put in their place. Each table had a basket of bread and a bottle of wine on it. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd years were not allowed to the party, and in the wizarding world, the drinking age was fourteen. There was a long buffet of anything anyone could ever imagine. It was hard to believe that anyone could finish all that delicious food. You could also see the stars through the ceiling. There was a dance floor of blue wood right in the middle. And there was a splendid row of instruments played by magic, not by people. The instruments played all sorts of music. You would love to hear it no matter what your taste in music was.

"What are you doing Hermione you slob!" screamed Lavender as Hermione's drool started dripping down her chin.

"Never mind that, this is amazing!" Hermione replied.

Hermione went over to Harry and Ron who had just arrived in their best dress robes. There were only tables for two so Harry and Hermione sat down and Ron pulled up a chair. Hermione got worried because she could see the jealous look in Ron's eyes, but she ignored it for the time being. The music started to play and students started to dance. The was Disco and people were dancing like crazy. Immediately Hermione started to blush because Harry was staring at her in a very strange way. Ron grunted. Then Hermione spotted the food.

"What are you doing Hermione you slob!" screamed Lavender from the other side of the dance floor as another drop of drool rolled down the other side of her chin.

"Oh, sorry!" Hermione yelled back.

Hermione ran over to the food. She got upset. She sensed that something was going to happen later tonight.
