Being a Cynical person is like being someone to be respected and honored, someone who would be deeply be reasonable enough to understand the bizarre things that human beings diligently perform in their everyday lives. Though sometimes I think being a cynical person is direful, agonizing and capricious that my decorous behavior is somehow portrayed to be in vain…
"Why am I again being paired up with him?" I asked Vince for the seventh time. We both sat in the library in the usual five-some's table. As always Vince looked impeccably handsome, a perfect portrait of Adonis with hair as black as ebony, a lackadaisical mannerism and his always irritated expression visible in his draconian face.
It was Vince's turn to spend the day with me, him acknowledging the fact that I'm the new demoiselle Lingere without my consent.
"He just got bad luck that's all and please… do stop asking me the same question I HATE repeating for heaven's sake!" he replied angrily for the seventh time.
"I just don't get it! Why him? Why? I-I can't still remember back then, in the forest… its just-"
But I stopped, noticing Vince staring at me with a murderous intent. I wouldn't be surprised if he'd stab me right there with his wand or poke me in the eye or something.
"Hello there" said a musical voice.
Another idiot
Aaron Peterson sat himself to my left and shoved all of the piled books in front of the chair and tossed it carelessly on the ground, I heard madam Pince hiss.
"Sorry" Aaron whispered.
"What are you doing here anyways? Aren't you supposed to get ready for the 'Big' night?" I started. He smiled showing off his perfect white teeth that made me inexplicably envious.
"Ah, yes, but I'm having problems and a most difficult one too. I don't know who to take to the party that I decided that…we'll I'll just take them all to the party. I haven't told the ladies yet but I do hope they agree" he explained.
What an inconceivable, devilish little young, well not really little but tall, brat. He's so full of himself, full of his loathingly stupid problems, self-centeredness and ineloquent manners. Why do girls fall for him anyways? I just don't practically get it!!!
"Aren't you thrilled you're going with him? I bet he's just dying to go with you, since I very well know him" he added.
"Stop that, I just don't want to think about it" I hastily replied.
"Well, moving on. I just wanted to tell you that your cousin is willing to doll you up for the latter occasion. I'm grateful she suggested that, I don't want you to go there looking all… well all normal" he grinned.
"How dare you!" I shouted.
I caught Madam Pince's deathly glare followed by ample boorish hisses.
"Tsk, would you two just get out? I don't need you here anymore, go take her Aaron, just take her away from me as far as possible" Vince marked.
Aaron took me out of the chilly library. We both walked slowly at the forsaken corridors, I forgot that most of the population of the school are inside their common rooms all preparing for the feast later onwards. I just don't get why such an ominous celebration should be celebrated, Halloween sounds so overly childish and insufficient. It's not like we're all ten year olds. We silently walked, no conversations whatsoever then abruptly stopped when we both saw Leo carrying tons of candy canes and other sweet candies. I guess his fan's club started bombarding him with sweets now that it's Halloween.
"Let us help you my friend" Aaron said. Leo as always smiled cheerfully and gave us some of his collected sweets.
"Do you ever finish eating this stuff? It's like you have a never ending stock" I commented, Aaron and Leo both started laughing.
"What?" I asked.
"Well, first of all Leo doesn't like sweets, second all of these contain Amortentia or any other love potions mixed in it" Aaron said.
Amortentia?!
Who would be in their right mind to brew something of such complexity not to mention the fact that if half of the girls can brew Amortentia then why is it that they haven't frantically gotten a good grade in potions?
"That's such a bawdy uhm…"
But before I could finish Alain suddenly emerged from the left corridor, I suppose he was running off again because he'd successfully finish playing a prank. I remember the days when I was forced to experience brash and belligerent hours with such an apathetic person. We'd both try to outrun Mrs. Norris and filch to avoid a ticket to detention; sometimes we'd both stay still for an hour trying not to breathe a lot.
"Hello fella's mind if I blend in?" Alain said and took some of the sweets I was carrying, well specifically he took 3 pieces for him to carry, such an ungentlemanly remark.
"Have you prepared for tonight?" Aaron casually said.
"Of course, I just hope someone's prepared for the night, you don't want to end up being an embarrassment to us" Alain mockingly added.
"I know she's going to look perfectly fine, oh look there's Scorpious now"
As usual Scorpious looked spotless, gorgeous, handsome, ethereal and perfect. His hair as blonde as always, his eyes always penetrating and his trademark smirk worn at all times in his indispensable face and wonderful figure.
"Hello" he said in a low attractive voice.
I hate it when he talks like that, he sounds like he's always having sex which makes me spout unwanted Goosebumps.
"Hey" The three-some all said in unison.
"All prepared for tonight? Have you picked out you're dress yet?" He added and shifted his gaze to me. I felt like puking.
"Well, it's none of your business anyways so let's just not talk about it" I replied. He grinned.
After walking unintentionally with the four-some all united I had to deal with another tiresome person inside the girl's dormitory…Marie
"Don't you just love this dress? My mom sent me a lot to choose from, what do you think suits me best? Pink? Magenta? Periwinkle blue? Oh maybe I'd look better in hot pink? Or Red? Maybe I'll go for the Goth look with this velvet black dress?" She went on and on talking like there was no tomorrow.
"So, I haven't heard about your partner yet. Everyone's speculating about it since some of the Mighty Five are going solo. We'll there's no doubt about Vince going solo, he doesn't like being attached to girls that it just makes me fall in love with him more, and Leo, should've known he'd go unaccompanied. Aaron's taking all the girls as usual" She blabbed.
"You probably know every malevolent and uninspiring gossip here don't you?" I replied.
"Is that a compliment? Thank you I guess I do! Oh your cousin Lily said she'd come and do your hair and makeup later. You know he's seeing Michael Edward Scott! You know that tall red-haired guy from RavenClaw?"
Michael… I've heard that name before, I just don't remember where…
After a few more torturous hours of Marie experiencing her non-stop talkative nature Lily thankfully went inside our dormitory and started doing the magic of making me look plausible enough to satisfy the Five-some's crave to gap at my modified face. After 3 broken irons for straightening my hair, tons of tissue with dabs of make-up and an awful lot of hours experimenting on my face Lily completed her colossal task into beautifying me which I think has no rhetorical sense.
Though I do feel grateful for my cousin for sacrificing her boundless time to contribute to my now pleasing presentation of myself; with my hair all straightened up a great make up with shade's of light pink and a contemplating Red dress from Marie she made me look good. Marie decided to wear the hot pink dress with the plunging neckline she'd been talking about, it was a great dress though for me it was kind of short judging the fact that it was above the knees.
The three of us now prepared to descend downstairs when I took a second to glance at the beautiful creature in the mirror: me
With my hair all straight, my face covered in makeup, mostly covering my eye-bags, my lips smoldered with lipstick and blush on, I thought that I'd never seen myself look like the other pretty girls I loathed in school. I guess I should probably hate myself as well…
"C'mon Rose" Lily shouted.
The great hall was now filled with small fancy pumpkin lanterns floating along with orange candles contributing to the Halloween spirit. We were suppose to have a costume Halloween party but almost half of the schools population, mostly the girls, decided on a more formal ball. And so everyone looked splendid and somehow educated and cultured. The boys looked handsome in their tuxes whilst the girls all looked pretty with their chosen dresses although there were some girls who looked tramp-ish with their undeniably super short dresses.
I saw Vince halfway across the room looking as Handsome as always but now wearing his tux kind of made him look even more godly, less human and more of a statue. He didn't move from where he stood, beside the window bathing in the moonlight. The great hall was kind of dark since they decided to turn off all the lights and let all the floating pumpkin candles add to the spirit of Halloween, the teachers also decided to create some sort of illusion and astonishingly conjured a spell to make the ceiling look like the sky, all dark blue with twinkling stars unreachable. I even noticed a shooting star passed, I made a wish.
Everyone started to cluster in the space where Leo was, and as always the crowded place was because Aaron was present. Almost all of the lovely girls started to group themselves to gap at the Three-some who were present.
"Finally, I've been looking for you forever" said a voice.
Damnation
He's here…my partner
"I'm already suffering much because I get to be stuck with you and…"
"-And what?" I asked.
Alain seemed like he was lost for words somehow. He ended up biting his lips and started pulling me by my wrists. Alain was teased by the Four-some when the bottle ended up pointing at him and not Malfoy. I guess it's better to have Alain than Malfoy, though I don't think being with him is another resolution for an unwanted happening.
"They're preparing to strike around midnight…and...Well, y-you uhm"
"What?" I questioned him. He was lost in his thoughts for a while. He yanked me with his hand and slowly guided me at the corner of the room near another window.
"W-well, let's just stay here for a while; don't want them to notice you. It's just that they found a way in, I recon someone's conspiring with them, a teacher in Hogwarts" he commented.
"Really?" was all I had to say. I had no clue on whoever was chasing after them since they've decided to just keep all the nifty information for themselves and not bother to tell me anything at all except that they're being persuaded by maniacs who frantically want them… dead.
"You're dress…" he started.
"I know, it doesn't suit me? Well I'm not rea-"
"N-no that's not what I meant" he quickly replied.
"Then I guess it looks…Flattering" I answered.
"Yeah that's the word…Flattering"
"Rose!" I voice cried.
I turned around and found myself face to face with a beautiful black haired goddess; she wore this pretty purple dress with a matching purse. It was Valeene.
"Hey" I shot back.
"You look wonderful tonight, I see you're with Peterson" Valeene added.
"By the way this is Michael, Michael Edward Scott" She continued.
I knew it; I knew I heard the name before. I looked at the handsome red haired guy who Valeene presented. He wore a dark blue tuxedo that failed to hide his burly built, was tall and had a gingerly face.
"Hello" I said as I shook his hand.
"Nice to finally meet you Ms. Weasley" he said. His voice was low and manly, I guess that's what got the girls enticed with him, though at least his voice was rather better than Malfoy's.
No soon did the music start that everyone seemed to fill the dance floor and rather oddly started moving their bodies in a ghastly manner. Since the tune was that of rock I guess it was apprehend-able, but after a few more minutes of hard loud songs it slowed down to make new space for the couples to dance. I felt like I was mostly being started at by Alain's fan club, all of them grouped together while they try to exchange menacing scowls, Alain standing beside me like a statue.
"Err…Do you like dancing?" Alain suddenly ask.
"I don't like to dance; I think its demented act" I quickly replied. I do believe it is a demented act…
"Right" he murmured.
As I scanned the room I noticed that Malfoy was not around. Well, it's not as if I wanted to be with him or thinking of him anyways, it's just that some of his fan's club are all meticulously scattered. I bet they're practically searching for him too, I wouldn't be surprise it he took one of the girls out since they'd all be eager to go out with him and do something more 'exciting' than 'this' didactic ball.
"Trying to look for me?" said a familiar voice.
I turned around to see Malfoy in Alain's place holding a glass of pumpkin punch while he stared at me with his demonic eyes.
"Where's Alain?" I asked.
"Why? Now you want to find him instead of me? Could you make up your mind and tell me who you really like"
"None of the available provided choices you've suggested" I quickly replied
"Ah, then I must've truly lost my touch"
And with that he took my hand and guided me to the dance floor where the other couple's started dancing; some were already making out on the dance floor while some were hugging. I just can't believe that the teachers would allow such domineering actions in the school; I guess it's the lack of proper supervision since Headmaster McGonagall wasn't present or any of the other strict teachers around.
"Let's dance, I'll teach you how" Malfoy said.
"No thank you, go dance with some of the girls out there" I said. I pointed him some of the girls who now stared at me, I knew they wanted to start stabbing me with their fork whilst they eat some provided spaghetti. I guess the loathsome girls couldn't do much damage if they were to stab me with a spoon.
"But I insist" and with that we started swaying ourselves into the center of the dance floor.
We slowly rocked back and forth and twirled me effortlessly. He looked superb as usual, gorgeous, addictive, attractive, dazzling, perfect even debonair for the occasion. His steaming black tux suited him very well, his eyes were captivating, it twinkled in the dark and his lips were disturbingly smiling. I guess that's how he gets all the girls here, his smile.
"MALFOY!" I heard Aaron Shouted.
Everyone now looked at Aaron who looked desperately shaken. I looked around to see that Vince and Leo looked disturbed by something, and then a crashing sound came from one of the windows.
