Chapter 1:

A Ball too crazy too mention…

Rowan O'Malley walked into the Great Hall of Hogwarts with pride, showing off her new prefect badge to anyone looking. The 15 year-old girl glanced at the dancing people with envy, wishing she had a date to boast.

"Ughh, I wish I could get someone to dance with, it would be nice!" Rowan said to herself, looking around the rest of the Hall.

There was Ross, that weird Slytherin kid that Danellen hung out with, dancing around on the tables. Danellen herself was sulking in a comfortable-looking navy blue couch, reading what looked like schoolwork. "Ah, there's my friends Hermione and Kenny!" Rowan thought, looking at the two dancing like crazy, "I should really find someone to talk to! It would be horrid to not even say a word!"

A few minutes later, Ross started calming down, apparently losing that butterbeer touch.

Just then, another girl walked in.

"That girl, what was her name? Dorothy." Rowan said under her breath.

Dorothy walked over to Danellen, swiping her book and throwing it over toward the tables.

"HEY!" Yelled Danellen, trying to grab the book before it landed with a thud some 10 feet away. "That was rude!"

Rowan walked over to Danellen, sitting down next to her, Ross sitting down on her other side. Rowan looked apprehensive, but was calmed by a wave of Danellen's hand.

"Don't worry; I'm not as crazy as some people think." Ross said to her unanswered question. "Well, should I go get drinks?"

Ross started to walk off for a few butterbeers, just missing Joseph walking up in a kilt.

"Hello, Danell… (ulp) en? Would you, erm, like…" Joseph staggered out, clearly embarrassed.

End of first Chapter. Please note, people, that it'll take awhile for the whole thing to be transformed from RPing to Reading. Thanks for your patience!
