CHAPTER THIRTEEN
It was one week to Christmas Break and many boys in Hogwarts all were waiting for Rea to show up again, although that did not stop boys from other schools asking the Hogwarts girls. Draco took advantage of Rea's absence and went through her wardrobe. He dressed in Dark clothing with a dark cloak on top to cover up his identity. Because of Rea's powers no student had yet figured out who they were. But he wanted to play off of that.
He walked into the great hall with his cloak swirling around his booted feet. Harry who had no idea of this tried hard not to smile as he figured his friend out. From his robes he produced a black jewelry box. He stopped in the center of the room. Everyone held their breath waiting to see whom he would pick.
He paused for only a moment before he spun around to face the Gryffindor table. He walked straight up to Hermione who knew who he was. He opened the box to reveal a very expensive necklace.
He pulled her out of her seat and in a silky voice asked, "Hermione, I go by the name of Count. And it would be a great pleasure if you were to go to the ball with me."
Hermione blushed and glanced at the necklace in surprise. "…I will go to the dace with you, Count" She finally gasped out.
"Then please wear this to show that you are taken. It will be a sign that you are going with me." He said as he put the necklace around her neck.
Harry let out a low whistle and many people began to cheer. Count swept out of the room and returned six minutes later. They were still in a great mood and so Draco bowed and pretended to think it was for his entrance. He then went to sit by his friends.
"So, did I miss anything good?" He asked smirking as he looked between Harry and Hermione.
Out of nowhere a hand smacked him on the back of the head. Rea leaned down and hissed in his ear. "That was sweet. But by no means excuses you for wearing my clothes."
Hermione jumped up and hugged her. "Your back! Did you see what happened?"
After Rea came over her shock she smiled. "Yah I was rather surprised that no one was reacting at my arrival until I noticed that SOMEONE WAS WEARING MY CLOTHES!" She shouted the last part so everyone looked back to find that she was back. Soon boys began tripping over them selves to ask her to the dace or try to go pull something off like what they just saw.
Quickly the group of four headed back to their place. They stayed up all night with idle chatter until Rea announced that Dumbledore was coming. They ran back to there rooms And Rea jumped in bed pretending to be exhausted.
The next morning on their way to their first class Harry moved next to Rea. "So, You coming to the Dance with me?"
"Harry, if you ask like that no one will go with you." Rea drawled without looking at him.
Harry scoffed and moved next to a Ravenclaw girl. "Hey, Luna right?" When the girl nodded at him he continued. "So, You coming to the dace with me?"
She sighed. "Harry I know your only asking because you want to prove your girlfriend wrong."
"He's not my boyfriend!" Rea yelled from a few feet away.
Harry stayed stunned for a moment before he ran toward her. "Now wait just a moment! What if I do want to go with you?"
"Then yes I will go to the ball with you, Harry." Luna said loud enough for every one around them to hear.
"Then come on." He grabbed her hand and pulled her away as Rea also split from the crowed.
"Where are we going?" Luna asked as she hurried to keep up with the two.
"As you are my date I think you should hang out with us." Harry said as Rea walked back and forth down a hall. After the third time a door appeared. "Welcome to the cool kid room."
The three walked into the room. Rea motioned for a younger kid to come forward. "It's also a post for the Hogwarts gossip runners." Rea said as the first year boy moved over to them. "Harry asked Luna to the dance." She said plainly as she motioned for him to be off.
Quickly he left the room and Luna looked around surprised. All of the kids that were considered popular were there. Even Neville and Hermione. Along one wall was an electronic board with messages appearing over it. In the center of the room was a holographic table.
"The room isn't supposed to make electronics work but some how Rea got them to." Harry whispered as he pulled her deeper into the room.
"Who is she?" Draco asked as they got around the table with the most popular kids in Hogwarts. Luna then realized that popularity is partially based on how well you know Rea.
"She is Luna." Rea growled. "And she is Harry's date." As she said it the words that she told the boy appeared on the message wall. Another wall next to it was views of all the classrooms and most hallways.
"I thought you would go with Rea." Cedric said.
"Well I asked her and she decided it wasn't good enough." Harry said and many people looked at her in surprise.
"Hey, all I'm saying is that where I came from you don't ask a girl to the ball like this." She took a few steps back then walked forward and flipped her hair. "So, you going to the dance with me?" She said imitating Harry's voice.
Many people laughed until they realized she was serious. "Then how was I supposed to ask you out?" Harry says crossing his arms in defiance.
Cedric shook his head and stepped forward. "Rea, I have nothing to give you for this night. But it would be a great honor if you were to attend the winter ball with me." He said shakily. He looked at her determined not to show fear while on the inside he was trembling.
To his surprise instead of giving him a quick no, she squinted and after a few moments nodded. "Yes I will go to the dance with you, Cedric." Cedric gasped and turned around to his friends who stared at him in shock. Everyone was in a stunned silence until a fourth year Hufflepuff boy spoke up.
"Ewe. My big brother is going with a girl my age." That started a chorus of applause and cheers.
"Some one get another runner out there!" Fried yelled.
"No. We will take care of it." George yelled back as he dragged Fred out of the room.
What no one noticed was that Rea flinched at the age comment.
Harry smirked 'Oh, bet you wish you thought of that before you turned me down.'
Rea glared at him for a second from where she and Cedric were standing at the center of attention. 'Shut it, Shadow.'
Harry smirked. She only called him that as a warning that he is starting to get on her nerves.
'Apparently Malak never remembered that.' Draco said in his mind. And Harry realized that he had let the other boy into his mind
'Oh, he remembered. He assumed that a nice night alone would fix everything.' Rea added.
'So he just forgot that you never go to bed?' Harry asked smirking. She gave him a quick glare before she posed for the quick picture that they were taking.
"Don't normal dances have a king and queen?" A Gryffindor boy asked.
"Homecoming." A Ravenclaw sith year answered.
"We need one!" Another Gryffindor boy yelled.
Cedric smiled. "I'm not going to stand in your way of leading these people."
Rea looked at him strangely. "It is just this dance."
"You never know." He said giving her a mischievous smile. Rea rolled her eyes and walked to the wall with the messages. She waved her hand and cleared it.
"Okay. You can't nominate yourself. There are eight places one line per couple, but the voting will be male and female separate. We all have to agree who they are." Rea called over them.
"First nomination and why."
A Slytherin Girl stood up. "Count and Hermione. Because he is mysterious."
Rea nodded. "Does everyone agree that they should end up there?"
Everyone nodded his or her agreement. "Next?"
"You and Cedric! Um- because… because…"
"You are the hottest pair in school!"
"You have changed the school for the better!"
Rea shrugged and added her name and Cedric's in the second spot on the list.
"I heard that Fleur and George are going together! We need to add someone outside of this school."
Rea smiled and looked around. No one objected so she added their names. When she turned back around she smiled at everyone. "I vote Neville and Ginny. Because they deserve it." The two in question blushed as she added the names to the fourth spot on the list.
Harry coughed. Draco smiled at Rea. "Can you add Harry before he starts throwing things?"
Rea snorted as she turned and waved her hand causing the blank after the number 5 "Okay three more who are they?"
A boy ran into the room. "Rea!" he ran over and whispered in her ear when she bent down.
"Who wants to add a staff pair?" Rea asked smirking as the boy glanced at what they were doing before he left for the holographic table.
A Ravenclaw girl snorted "If any professors are going put them up there."
Many people nodded to that.
Rea turned and waved her hand again. Many people gasped. The next addition read.
6. Prof. McGonagall and Prof. Snape
There was chaos for seconds before Rea waved her hand for silence.
"Fred and Angelina." A Gryffindor boy said calmly. Rea looked around as others nodded.
"Victor and Cho" A Slytherin boy said next.
"There we go." Rea said as those names filled line eight. She motioned her hand toward the table and the boy began to work. "Any thing else?"
"Yah. Why are you and Mad-eye out to get each other?" A Sixth year Ravenclaw asked.
"Who is him?" A fourth year Slytherin asked.
Rea sighed and for some reason Cedric took that as a sing to move in. "That is not know to you for a reason. This is a subject to remain between Rea and what ever that was."
Harry noticed his change in attitude toward her and glared at the ground. This was not going to end well.
That night McGonagall and the Revanchist were lounging in her classroom. "I'm going to take a guess and say that the 'I don't want to study' attitude applies to this group as well."
Draco smirked. "Got it in one go." Rea was sitting on a desk in the corner of the room.
"I don't get it." She said throwing her hands up. "It's one dance and all of a sudden people think we have been having a secret relationship! Have you seen what the Rita Seeker says about us?"
"Yes." McGonagall said with a sigh. "Oh by the way I mailed your father to get you something for the Ball."
Rea threw her hands in the air before she brought them back down to cover her face. "What did I do to you?"
"At least Christmas is coming." Draco said smiling as he put his feet up
"Yah," Rea said sarcastically. "What is Christmas anyways?"
Minerva looked at Rea with shock when she realized that she was serious.
Harry closed his eyes and swore. "I forgot to tell you that. Didn't I?" He got up and began to pace. "Anything else I forgot to tell you?"
"Well she wouldn't know if you haven't told her, now would she." Draco said as he glanced at Rea. "It's basically a day when you get gifts from people that care about you."
Rea looked at him doubtfully. "Seriously?" Everyone nodded. "There is a day when you give people things. So, Like life day?" Harry nodded. Rea groaned and sat back into the chair.
A few minutes later she got back up. "Well I have to go get my wand see you in a few." She then disappeared.
McGonagall turned to Harry shocked.
Harry lazily waved his hand from the other chair he had chosen to sit in. "Force powers are not stopped by the castle wards." He looked at her puzzled face. "She usually does that to get somewhere fast. She doesn't like to leave early."
A few minutes passed. "She didn't mean a few seconds. Did she?"
Harry shook his head. "More like a few minutes. Besides she just found out her dad is still alive."
"I wonder what that would feel like?" Hermione nodded from next to Draco. "Thinking your dad was dead your whole life. Then finding out by coincidence that he is still alive."
"You know she still hasn't thanked me for that." Harry said smirking.
"Thank you." Rea said as she walked in the door. "Look at this." She immediately added with more enthusiasm as she sat down next to Harry. Out of her pocket she pulled a Black wand with a curved handle.
"I've never seen that before." Professor McGonagall said as she inspected it from across the room.
"Yah, this one is more customized then the last."
"Lets go try it out." Draco said getting up. The four began to leave the room when Snape ran in.
"What is this?" He said holding out a piece of parchment to Rea.
She glanced at it. "It's a list."
"Don't be smart with me." Snape growled
Rea smiled at him. "A little birdy told me she said yes."
"And?"
"Well we thought we would go ahead and you two to the options so that the staff would be fine with it if they found out." Rea finished innocently.
"Listen to this." He growled as he through the door open.
"Find Severus!"
"Where is he?"
"Maybe he is with his date!"
"Her room is down the hall go look in there."
Severus closed the door and paled. Rea laughed at him as Harry through open the closet door." Severus jumped in and everyone took a pose. Harry leaned on the closet door Minerva sat behind her desk Hermione and Draco sat together to the left of her desk and Rea sat on the desk on the center of the room.
A few seconds later the door was shoved upon and many teachers poured in. Rea glared at Draco who through his hands up. "I'm just saying that-!" He stopped and pretended to be surprised by the teachers' entrance.
Rea turned around to look at the suspiciously. "Can I help you?"
Mad-eye moved to the front of the group. "Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Rea ignored him so he moved up to her.
'Thieves in the hanger-' Harry finished mentally snickering.
"Well? What are you delinquents up to?"
'Thought you could just steal my-' Harry continued.
'Shut up!' Rea snapped
Hagrid moved into the room then. "Mad-eye they're just kids. They aren't doing any thing." Many of the teachers agreed. Moody pulled out his wand and pointed it at her.
"I don't trust you." He growled as he began to leave.
Rea growled and Harry jumped forward to stop her. Instead she shouted to his retreating back. "The date is set you are only making it more painful!" She screeched.
Everyone turned to look at her with shock. "Maybe you have forgotten." She said looking straight into his eyes. "I was a sith once too. That part of you never dies. I will always have the taint in me. It can never be ignored." She whispered.
"Stupid Girl." He growled. He opened his cloak and grabbed his flask. He took a swallow before he put it back.
The teachers all left and Harry and Rea remained standing side by side as Snape got out of the closet and joined the others in watching them. "You saw that to?"
Rea nodded. "He has the weapon but that does not explain the charge I found. Besides. He is mine." She started toward the door but Draco stopped her.
"You didn't mean the dark side." If he had asked it Rea would have ignored it but as it was as a statement-
"No. Not the dark side. The Emperor. He has tainted me. It is something that can never be undone." She said in a pained whisper as she disappeared through the door.
