The Halloween ball
"Hey you okay? Did I hurt you?" A very groggy ravened haired girl asked, laying in the hospital bed she was bound to. Ashley looked as if she was on the brink of tears remembering what had happened the previous night and to comfort her friend, Ginny held her hand. "No Ash, I'd what you told me to do, Oh don't cry, Your still my best friend" but the girl gave into her tears and the red head bent down to hug her "Please don't cry Ashley, tonight's the Halloween ball, Do you want to look all puffy? you got to cheer up and leave here ...............................With Madame Pomfrey's permission, before you get any ides." The vampire nodded and began smiling, but it soon turned into a scowl when she noticed the tall, brown haired boy standing at the door.
His arms were crossed over his chest and he leaned against the frame of the door "So it's true, you finally did it." The red eyed girl glared at him "Sod off Nikolas! Shouldn't you Mister know-it-all be in class, your lips pressed against your professors bum?" The boy sauntered over to the bed grinning " Nope, I decided that seeing a MAD COW before I headed to class was time better spent." The red head didn't recognize the boy and turned her attention back to her dorm mate, mentally asking who he was. "Oh screw you!(Ashley growled at him but her demeanor changed when she answered her friend) Gin-Gin this is Nikolas Dans les ombres, hey Moron.............I mean Nikolas dear, this is Virginia Weasley." the boy took Ginny's hand in his and pressed his lips against it " It's a pleasure to meet a goddess like you" The red head blushed as she nodded and mumbled something that sounded like 'same here'. "Aww aren't we ever the gentle man, listen stupid, don't go laying it out thick on my pal here, she already has her heart set on someone else." The vampire smirked as his attention flew back to her, and all her friend could do was turn even redder as she approached the door " See you after classes Ash, Nice meeting you Nikolas." and with that she left the two to talking.
That afternoon's care for magical creatures lesson was cancelled. Emma, Vanessa and Ginny went to fetch their friend earlier and brought her back to gryffindor tower to begin getting ready. Emma let her hair pour down her back and side, as she muttered a spell to turn it blood red. Her strapless dress now matched the color of her hair. It clung to her body as a second skin, which accentuated her curves, and a large slit ran along her left leg. She blushed as she looked in the mirror. "Good Merlin, Colin is going go to have a heart attack Ms. Jessica Rabbit. By the way what is he going as?" Vanessa inquired as she finished doing up her brown hair. " Snape." Every one stopped what they were doing and turned to the ex-blonde, their jaws hitting the floor as they exclaimed "What!?!" in unison. "He's going as Snape, some joke he joined in with Seamus and Dean." and all four giggled as they imagined what the other two boys were dressed as. Ashley popped her head out of the bathroom "Well he's brave, Ill give him that, but I'm betting the boy is dead before the night is through once the real Snape see him."
The Weasley red head turned to face Vanessa who was wearing an early 1900's Parisian dress. Its light blue color flattered her blue eyes and her hair was done up in curly tendrils. She looks so beautiful and I hope Harry takes in her beauty tonight. " Nessa you make a beautiful Christine, I'm sure Phantom Harry will agree with me." The brunette looked down at her dress and smiled " I hope he likes it, I didn't think he like the idea of playing The phantom of the opera." but the red head was clouded by her thoughts as the words Harry had spoken the day before replayed in her mind 'Ginny I saw....................you' Oh Harry why now? why after all this time? but Ashley's voice brought her back to reality " ( she came in and stood in a stance that had the words 'Ta-Da' written all over it) Are we ready or what?" She was wearing what looked like an ankle length trench coat, with a hood and dark sunglasses."Night, What in the wizarding world are you dressed as?" Ginny inquired as her friend grabbed her own collar, appearing to be covering her self up and placed a hand palm up on her forehead as if she was going to faint "Can't you tell darlings? I'm a distressed movie star." All three laughed at the vampire's dramatics and headed out the dorm room to meet up with their dates, with the exception of Ginny and Ashley of course.
When Harry so the red head in her costume his eyes looked as if the were undressing her as the roamed her body, but stopped when noticing Vanessa looking his way and walked toward the portrait to exit. Vanessa waved goodbye and quickly followed after him, as the others waited for their partners. Ron and Hermione looked puzzled at his sudden urgency to get to the great hall but refrained from asking any questions." 'mione you look great as the courtesan , and Ronnikins you must be the penniless writer, you don't look to bad in a top hat and tails." but her brother looked very uncomfortable, every few seconds adjusting his tie and grumbling something under his breath along the lines of 'It was her bloody idea'. Hermione punch his arm gently and said goodbye to her boyfriends sister as he pulled her towards the door.
Everyone's attention flew to the two boys who had just stepped into the common room. Colin normally dirty blonde hair was now a greasy jet black and was wearing black robes, but that's not what had started up the roaring laughter , no it was Dean. He wore square spectacles, an emerald green cloak and his hair was now long and black in a tight bun. He was dressed as McGonagall. Since Colin was a six year, Dean had invited him after having no luck finding a date. They, along with Seamus had concocted this joke of dressing as the teachers. The laughter did not stop, instead it intensified when Finnigan walk down the stairs into the common room dressed as Dumbledor himself. "Ms. Soothington, are you ready?" he asked Emma as he offered his arm to her. She nodded as they walk out with Dean and Colin right behind them. Ginny and Ashley were the only two left and the walked out together, arm in arm.
Upon reaching the entrance of the great hall where the ball was taking place they parted ways, each looking for their respective dates. Ashley spotted her date first, it was Nikolas. He was half naked, his muscular chest and arms available to the eye, his milk white skin enticing other girls there also waiting for their partners. The boy's bottom half covered by what appeared to be a long, black, velvet skirt. Its large slits permitted you too see his black leather pants. Both arms wore metal armbands, thick long bracelet on his wrist, and an Egyptian style necklace. The raven haired girl smiled and removed her coat and glasses. She was dressed as Akasha and he was her Lestate. All eyes fell upon her practically clad attire. The red heads mouth dropped, her friend was almost naked. Her attention then landed on the arms that snaked around her waist. " A French maid costume, how fitting, you will surely be serving me tonight." the voice whispered gently in her ear and she instantly knew who its owner was. She turned to face him. His blonde hair and pale face was covered by an oversized hood, he wore a large black cloak, similar to the one he used 4 years earlier during one of gryffindor's quidditch matches. Draco was dressed as a dementor. He lowered his hood as she leaned in closer for a kiss.
As their lips parted he offered his arm and said "Shall we?" Ginny nodded. Brace your self, here goes nothing. As they walked in all eyes fell upon them. The blonde raised his hood up in vain since everyone had already noticed who was with the youngest Weasley. They made their way to a table that was already occupied by, whom he guessed were the red heads friends. "Wow Ash you look .......................naked" The vampire raised her hand " Ginny, you will address my King first." and let out a short laugh as Nikolas nudged her lightly " Nice to see you again goddess, and may I say that you look beautiful this evening." Ashley pretended to gag and looked towards the slytherian's direction. "So....................Malfoy , don't you look handsome?" the boy snarled back at her " You can't see me face, so how can I look handsome?" Her lips curled into a smile "Thats why you look handsome." The red head shot a glare at her friend warning her to stop and Ashley did so before she would hex her.
Sensing her friends uneasiness at all the newly found attention, she decided to bring everyones focuse back on her."Oy! Lets get this ball started!" Dumbledor looked at her with his famous twinkle and smiled "Well as Miss Night so eloquently put it, I'd like for all of you to give a warm welcome to our guest deejay for the evening, Miss Melissa Adams from Wizarding Wireless Network." Applause started up, all the students as well as the teachers scanned the room. They then looked toward the area where large amps and speakers stood, but there was nothing. "Hey whats that over there?" a huffle puff boy pointed to small dancing flames. The flames grew and grew, not into a usual fire but into the figure of a young woman. She was completly made of fire, except for her eyes which were literally almond shaped ice. The room filled with cheer and with a few 'brilliants' as Melissa began to speak."It's great being back at Hogwarts, Oh and Professor McGonagall I have a excellente excuse for why I'm tardy. But before I get into to that why don't we start this Ball with a Bowl, Here's Bowling for soup with 'Girl all the bad guys want'" Out of thin area, the band holographically materialized where the staff table normall stood, and they began to play.
Ginny turned to face her date, whom was was now nervousely fidgeting.Why in merlin's name did they have to be playing, I know she heard me singing that day. I'll just play it off , no one will know. She let out a stiffled giggle "My-my is Draco Malfoy nervous?" but had no time to continue taunting him as he had grabbed her hand and pulled her onto the dance floor.All the students had begun dancing, all but Harry and Ron and Hermione whom seemed to be starring intensly at the couple and whispering to eachother. At some point Hermione pulled Ron out of sight had left the green eyed boy to glare at the red head and her date from a dark corner of the room.
'There she goes again with fishnets on, dreadlocks in her hair, she broke my heart I wanna be sedated, all I wanted was to see her naked!'
She pulled the blonde closer to her and whispered in his ear " I think I enjoyed your rendition better, how did it go again? oh right ..................'cause she's watching Potter, creaming over that guy, listening to mudblood, moonlight in her eyes.........' " Though he was embaressed, he cooly drawled out " well my version of the verse following 'I wanted was to see her naked' is better I'll admit" Ginny was both shocked and intrigued, amused at the expression on her face he went on " Now I'm watching Potter, trying to be like that guy, listening to muggle songs, Ginny by my side, I can't grow a conscience, and I ain't got a firebolt, all I got's a nimbus" She let out the laugh that had been bubbling up in side her since the song started. " Stupid, I know." Draco mummbled as she struggled to contain her self and shake her head "no...........(she made a small chuckle)not at all." The song had and the band then formed into a single performer as the deejay began to announce " Now why don't we make things a bit hot with Sean Pauls 'Get busy'
'Shake that thing Miss Kana Kana Shake that thing Miss Annabella Shake that thing yan Donna Donna Jodi and Rebecca Woman get busy, just shake that boot non-stop When the beat drops, just keep swinging it Get jiggy, get crunked up Percolate anthing you want ......'
The red head pressed her self against him, as she wiggled her hips, purpously rubbing against his most sensitive and eager region. Feeling his sudden arousal, he pulled her tightly into him, she looked up at him satisfied by her own actions. " I suggest you stop that immediately Virginia, or else." She mentally smiled, knowing full well what he meant she gave him an innocent look "What ever do you mean?" he pulled her in tighter , she could now more then ever feel his man hood throbbing against her "Do you want all of them to see what we do in my private chambers? no? then stop it, or so help me I'll ravish you right here and now." she giggled wickedly which made him want to shut her up with a hard ,passionate kiss but contained him self when he finally sensed apair of eyes on him. Correction two sets of eyes, one he knew who exactly who it was, the other he couldn't decipher.
The music stopped and they headed for their table. At the center of the dance floor a table full of food appeared, one by one students pick out what the wanted to eat and sat back down. Draco ate quietly as he heard the red head chatter up a storm with her dormmate and her date. He felt a jolt of anger as he saw Ginny smile, laugh and blush at the other boy's words and gestures. He didn't like Nikolas that much, in fact he detested him all together. Why, he didn't know, he never met him before and he doubted that he'd ever see him again. At least I better not, not around MY.........around Vir.........Gi........Weasley, oh hell! Im headed for St. Mungos (He looked at the red head who turned to him and smiled, he felt warm all over when she did that) yes , a one way ticket. Father will not be pleased.
"Hey you okay? Did I hurt you?" A very groggy ravened haired girl asked, laying in the hospital bed she was bound to.
