Chapter 4
'The nerve of him' Rachel thought
What you thinking? you look annoyed Harry asked
Malfoy! yesterday at the Three broomsticks he accidently spilled butterbeer all over Cedric. ACCIDENTLY! Rachel replied angrily
Don't yell, makes my head hurt he said while eating some toast.
Sorry, just annoyed. Me and Cedric where having an interesting conversation, till he came along she said calming down a bit
Huh. Is there something going on between you two? he asked suspiciously
Maybe, why? brotherly instincts taking over? she asked rather pleased that she had someone to be overprotective of her.
Yeah. I won't tell you what to do, just know am here if you need me. I can pu-
"Harry. Harry mate, I've been calling you for the past minute" Ron said looking rather annoyed.
"Sorry Ron, what is it?" Harry asked quickly
"Do we have practise tomorrow?"
"Yeah, we do. Our first match is in a week against Hufflepuff, we need to practise. Cedric is a good captain" Harry replied. He had been made Gryffindor captain, Anthony Goldstein was Ravenclaws and Draco Malfoy for Slytherin.
"Its sunday tomorrow, can't we rest?" Rachel asked hopefully, she was one of the beaters, chosen by Dean, so that it didn't seem like Harry was showing favoritism.
"Yes we have to" Harry replied and he and Ron started a conversation on quidditch. Hermione decide it was time to leave and left the great hall.
"I'm gonna catch up with Hermione, see you guys later" Rachel said standing up and recieved two hands waved slightly without even looking.
'Well'. She saw her up ahead and she was surprise, surprise headed for the libarary.
"Hermione" She didn't hear her and turned a corner to go up the stairs. Rachel followed and quickened her pace because she did not want her to enter the libarary, once in there it was hard to get her out. She ran up the stairs and turned left.
'I wonder if this is the correct way t-' SMACK! She walked into something solid, actually it was someone.
"You! Why is it whenever I turn around your there?" she walked of not waiting for a reply. She yelled back before she turned a corner "Don't answer, it was a rhetorical question".
"What did I do?" A confused blond slytherin asked out loud. 'Wonder who shes going to dance with? Thats obvious isn't it? Oh no your back again, go away. Why, you obviously want my opinion or I wouldn't give it, would I? Oh great here we - I mean I go again'
Outside the libarary
"Hermione!" Rachel called
"What, whats wrong?" she asked a little concerned
"Nothing. I've just been trying to get your attention since you left the great hall" she answered
"Oh sorry. So whats up?"
"The ceilling, it's pretty high up, above that is the fourth floor, at least I think it is, what floor are we on anyways?" she replied teasingly
"Rach, you know what I mean"
"I know, just messin. So like what are you wearing tonight?"
"To the ball?"
"No, to go skiing in the dungeons" Rachel said sarcasticly "Of course to the ball"
"Well I was thinking . . " (She whispers in her ear, not confident about it)
"Its a good idea, don't worry. I'm (whispers as well, keep it a surprise) what do you think?"
"Very traditional"
"Exactly what I was going for. Come on lets go watch . . . Buffy!"
"We always do. I regret magical televisions being invented, honestly Mr Weasley what were you thinking? There's two in every common room"
"come on I know you find it interesting. We're gonna finish season three today"
They spent 3 hours watching buffy, since it was Saturday. The Ginny joined them as well. Parvati and Lavender thought Angel was Hot (in case you don't know Angel is a guy) so decided to watch. They decided to get ready after lunch. It was now 7pm and they made their way to the entrance hall to meet the guys. No dates allowed another one of Dumbledore's hair brain schemes. When they arrived they found the boys in some childish duels.
"Boys" all five girls said together.
The boys heard them and stopped immediately.
"So Ron, who are you ment to be?" Ginny asked her brother who had a fake fencing style sword and was dressed in complete black (Hat too).
"Gorro" he replied confidently
"Zorro" Hermione, Harry, Rachel and Dean all said together.
"Right him. It was Dean's idea and Hermione matches as she is, um . . " Ron said thinking
"Elana" Hermione replied, she was wearing an old style dress and had her hair up, she looked very nice. Parvati and Lavender were both dressed as evil witches. Wearing dark red dress and a green dress, complete with red and green highlights in their hair. Harry was Phantom of the Opera. He decided to goes as him because all he had to do was put on a suit and wear a whit mask. Ginny was an angel, she wore a white dress with white wings attached to the back. Rachel was Dracula's bride (all three roled into one, as she kept saying). She was wearing a long emerald green and navy blue dress with fake fangs magically attached to her teeth. Seamus was a mummy, it was very realistic (like in the film). Dean was wearing some really old style clothes.
"Who are yo meant to be?" Rachel asked trying to figure it out
"Hamlet" he replied
"What, but I thought you were going as someone creepy"
"The man talked to a skull, giving it a page long lecture. That's creepy in my book" Rachel just laughed as they entered the great hall, which looked great. The enchanted ceilling had a spell done to it to keep it as a stormy sky and lightning would flas every so often. A hundered or so live bats were floating in mid air, but high enough as to not hit anyone. Pumpkins were levitating on all the small black tables that were there instead of the usual house tables. People were dancing or sitting at a table eating. They all decide to eat first, once they were done it was time to dance. A new song started
Everybody, yeah
Rock your body, yeah
Everybody, yeah
Rock your body right
Backstreet's back, alright
Hey, yeah
Oh my God, we're back again
Brothers, sisters, everybody sing
Gonna bring the flavor, show you how
Gotta question for you better answer now, yeah
"Come on I love this song" Rachel said as she and Cedric got up to dance. Harry danced with Ginny, hermione who was dancing with Ron smiled at Rachel, who returned it.
Am I original?
Yeah
Am I the only one?
Yeah Am I sexual?
Yeah
Am I everything you need?
You better rock your body now
Everybody
Yeah
Rock your body
Yeah
Everybody
Rock your body right
Backstreet's back, alright
Alright
After another two songs Dumbledore stood up
"Now you are all to be paired up according to your costumes and will dance with them fo r at least 3 dances. I will make sure of that" He walked around pairing people up, McGonagall and Snape helped.
"According to our costumes. What does that mean?" Cedric asked
"I think it means your about to be paired with that ur . . . Hufflepuff, coz shes Frankenstein's bride" Rachel replied
"I think your right, shes Ravenclaw by the way. McGonagall is calling me, see you after 3 dances I guess"
She loked around the sixth and seventh years (the other years already had their dance).
Harry, who are you paired with? I can't see you
Ginny. What about you? he asked curiously
Am waiting she replied as someone tapped her on the shoulder. Hang on, I'll tell you now. She turned to see . .
"Malfoy!" Oh great i'm with slytherin's no 1 jerk, the king of ferrets.
You gotto dance with Malfoy, sympathies.
"Potter, why are you just standing there, we're supposed to dance" Malfoy said holding out his hand, which she took rather reluctantly. He was dressed as Dracula, he had the outfit, fangs and all. Who would have guessed.
"Well they don't seem to be killing each other" Ginny said to Harry as the third song for the partners was now playing. He glanced at Dracula and his bride dancing away.
Rach, answer me already. Harry asked rather annoyedly
Wait, am in the middle of something she answered back. Harry and Ginny, including some others danced a bit closer to find out what was going on. As they got closer they heard what they were saying.
"Arrogant jer" Rachel said
"Insufferable chick" Malfoy replied
"Sexist pig"
"Rhiteous cow"
"Bloody ferret"
'Wait how did she - Potter, damn him' Malfoy thought
"Ran out of insults, pretty boy?" Rachel sneered
"So know am pretty huh? didn't know you felt that way"
"I meant that in a bad way, you prat"
"If you say so" he replied sarcasticly
"You obnoxious bastard" The song finally ended "Freedom! Now to find someone who doesn't have their head stuck up Snape's arse"
"Hey! My head is not-" Malfoy began
"Oh please. Your head is so far up his arse, I don't know where you begin and he ends" Rachel recieved a lot of laughs for this, even some Slytherins joined in, although they stopped after they got a glare from Parkinson.
"Detention Miss Potter for your foul language" Snape hissed (as always) happily, finally being able to get her for something.
"And detention for Mr Malfoy as he was doing the same thing" Mcgonagall said from behind Snape.
Ah, well at least Malfoy got detention too
Yeah Harry, that does help. She went over and started dancing with Cedric again, as everyone else resumed dancing too.
"Where's Harry and Ginny?" Hermione asked "Dumbledore is about to announce the winner for best costume"
"I'll check outside" Cedric said and left the great hall and returned almost instantly "Am sure they can miss the prize giving. They're a little preoccupied if you know what I mean" he winked and Rachel smiled.
Harry. You work fast don't you?
Go away! I don't want you in my head right now
Fine, so sorry. Carry on with well . . you know
"The prize for best costume goes to Mr Seamus Finnigan for his superb Mummy costume" Seamus got a loud applause. He recieved a big box of Honeydukes sweets and so products from Weasley's Wizard Weezes. "Also 50 points to gryffindor for Mr Finnigan's big imagination and enthusiasm.
It was now round midnight and everyone made they're way to their dormitories
"Miss Potter a word" Snape hissed
'Again with the hissin, when will he learn?' Rachel thought "You guys go ahead I'll catch up" She walked over to Snape and Malfoy. Snape had a strange look in his eyes, as if christmas had come early.
"For both your detentions you will . . . "
'Oh no' She did not like the sound of this.
So what do you guys think? Review and let me know.
