Okay this chapter is really short but very important. Decora is not what she seems. Disclaimer: J.K. Rowling owns Harry Potter not me.

As Decora settled into her nightgown she heard a tapping noise at the window. She looked and saw her owl, Cursa .She opened the window and Cursa dropped a letter on the floor. Decora picked up the letter and opened it carefully. Decora heart skipped a beat as she read it. It read:

Dear daughter,

Do not forget why you are at Hogwarts. Enjoy your stay but complete your missions. There is no need to reply. Your mother will be waiting for you at the lake tomorrow.

Father

Decora crumple the letter in her hands. She knew that if she did not obey the outcome would be worse. All she could do was hope that everything went according to plan.

The Night Of The Ball

"Okay mirror time!" Decora said. She had invited Hermione and Ginny to her dormitory to do their hair and makeup. She had straightened Hermione's frizzy mane and curled Ginny's straight wispy hair. Decora decided they should all keep their hair down. They had all been avoiding mirrors so they could all look at themselves at the same time. Decora uncovered the huge mirror and heard Hermione and Ginny's surprised gasps. They slowly smiled and continued to look at themselves.

"Like it?"

"Like it? We love it. We look like…like…veela's. But you know good vela's," Hermione said grinning ear to ear.

"Great! Now who's going down first?" Decora asked. Hermione and Ginny looked at each other. Finally Ginny sighed and smiled.

"I'll go first."

Ginny peaked around the wall to see Harry and Ron waiting at the bottom of the stairs. Across from them She saw Draco waiting also. I feel bad for whoever's going with him. She stepped out from her hiding spot and tried her best to walk gracefully down the stairs. She saw Harry look up and his eyes widening in surprise. Yes. He held out his hand, Ginny took it elegantly and smiled. He proceeded to enter the great hall.

"Harry wait! Look." Harry looked up to see Hermione walking down the stairs also. She was smiling nervously at Ron whose eyes were 5 times too big. Hermione giggled as he held out his arm awkwardly. Ron proceeded to the great hall.

"Wait a second, Ron," Hermione said looking back up the stairs. Draco looked up the stairs in anticipation. Decora took one step out and Draco stopped breathing. She walked elegantly down the stairs. She smiled at Harry and Ron and walked passed them. She walked straight up to Draco and smiled. She could feel her friend's astonished looks on her back but she wasn't thinking about them. Draco held out his arm and led her into the great hall. As they walked Decora looked back at her friends. They looked as though they had just seen a flock of Dementors.

Harry was angry. Not mad, not sad, just angry. He should have known. Draco was the slytherin prince and Decora, the slytherin princess. How oblivious could he be? As he danced with Ginny he couldn't help but look at her. She looked at home in his arms and she looked happy. They spun around in circles holding each other passionately. It sickened him. She was wearing a beautiful teal taffeta dress with layers at the bodice and light blue shoes. She looked like an angel in Harry's eyes. As the music changed professor McGonagall announced that now students would now dance with someone they didn't attend the ball with. As Decora shied away from Draco to go and sit down, she whispered into his ear. He nodded. Harry noticed and sat beside her.

"Hey Harry! Are you having a good time?"

"Oh yeah I'm having a great time," Harry said sarcastically.

"Good because I know something that'll make this night even better," grabbing his hand and dragging him out of the great hall. She dragged him passed Hagrid's hut and deep into the forest. Finally Harry wrenched his hand.

"Decora where are you taking me?"

"I want to show you the lake."

"I've seen the lake," Harry said.

"During a full moon?" Decora asked. Harry shook his head as Decora took his hand again. They reached the lake just in time for Harry to spot the Slytherin prince himself. Draco glared at him as Decora pulled them closer.

"Before you start going for each other throats sit down and look up," Decora commanded. The boys did as they were told but continued to glare at each other. As the moon started to reveal it full self, Decora grabbed both their heads forcing them to look up. As soon as they both started to relaxed,

"Stupefy!" Both Harry and Draco were knocked out.
