I AM ALIVE!!!!! And almost sane! ^-^

Sorry for not getting this up sooner but I really wanted to have a few valentine day stories. And then I had all this homework... Couldn't even check my inbox…still can't right now…So I will update when I can… Oh while cleaning my room I put in Azumanga Daioh again and tried to talk like Osaka! Best Character ever! My moms skillet has seen its last day today… please mourn for it.

Also I think I got a flamer or just a really bad review for my story Dark Valentine…but considering I got a lot people who liked it, it doesn't bother me…much….sighs now I feel kinda bad that he (or she) doesn't want me to breath…*a single tear falls down my cheek* I didn't think it was that bad…I mean there where a few spelling mistakes but…

And to the person who want's me to get ride of my beta… I am sorry but there is no way in the seven hells that I will do that. Also I am sorry that you only saw the mistakes instead of enjoying the story. I like my story just the way it is now and hoped other people would to. I am not perfect and nor do I wish to be… Because not only is perfect boring but it looses the uniqueness. Who wants to live in a world were everything is perfect?

Also I put up a poll for one of my stories…how do I now if anyone went on it? Please tell me!

Chapter 19 The Dance

Ron looked around at the great hall and all the decorations. He sneered at his brothers who where dressed as blue tooth fairies. He looked around and noticed that Potter and everyone else still hadn't come into the ballroom. The red- head smiled evilly and looked at the punch bowl that was set up. He poured some of it into a glass and pinched a little bit of powder into it. As the powder dissipated into the punch, Ron tried to think of a way to give it to Harry…and then the little shit wouldn't bother him no more.

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Harry sighed as he put on the clothes that he had ordered some time ago. He was dressed in a black boys uniform that had white buttons. He was currently trying to get his long black and silver hair to behave for him as he tried to make it like Zero's. And he had to do something with his ears… A knock at the door had him glare at his reflection before giving up for now and went to open the door.

Harry blinked in surprise at seeing Hermione at the door. She was wearing a sailor uniform that was pink, and she must have used the stuff that she used for the ball last year, because her hair was straighter and shiny. Harry grinned, he could work with this.

"So Hermione…" He drawled out, "Never thought you would wear pink."

Hermione's cheeks flushed. "Shut up Harry."

Harry giggled, "I should have brought a camera with me."

"Stop or I'll hex your balls off!"

Harry gasped, "Such colorful langue, Herm's!" he shielded the important body part, "And Sev likes my balls thank you very much."

Hermione snorted and crossed her arms over her chest. "Are you ready?" She asked and looked over his shoulder. "Where's your mate?"

Harry moved away from the door to the bathroom so that he could look in the mirror. Hermione followed him and got her first look at where her friend lived. "He's getting ready, but I can't figure out what to do with my hair…" Harry said frowning at his reflection again, "And I have to do something about my ears and tail…"

Hermione looked at her friend and waved her wand. Harry's hair became shorter and messier. It was still mostly black with the silver streaks, but looked better.

Harry gasped, "What the hell did you just do?!"

"I cast a glamour on you," Hermione said thoughtfully and tapped her chin, "Unless you want this one?" She said smirking and waved her wand again making Harry have bright pink pigtails.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! What the hell?!" the cat-boy screeched.

A sound of footsteps came to the bathroom reviling Severus. "Harry! Are you--" Severus started to say. He looked at the tearful boy who was trying to cover his hair. Key word trying.

"Don't look!" hurry shouted, his ears flat on his( which were also pink).

'To late for that,' Severus thought and glared at Hermione. "I hate pink! Turn it back!" he ordered.

The evil girl grinned. "Of course professor," She said and waved her wand one last time. Harry's hair was back to the first time she changed it, making Severus sigh with relief. Harry sighed too, and made the other two get out the door, telling them that now he had to go to the bathroom.

Hermione sat down in one of the chairs and looked that the Potions Professor.

The older man was wearing a white school boy uniform with black buttons and his hair had been dyed to a dark brown. "You actually almost look like Kaname," Hermione noted. "Just taller and with a deadly glare."

Said man glared at her, proving her point. "What are you doing here anyway?"

She grinned, "We decided to meet each other at the front of the great hall doors so we wont get separated. I came to get you too and Luna was going to get Draco and Ginny."

"We?," the man asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Harry and I," she said and drummed her fingers on the armrest, as they continued to wait for Harry.

"I have never seen Harry as happy since last year," Hermione's voice broke the silence. "And this is the first time we have talked alone…"

Severus glanced at the girl, who looked up at him. "If you hurt Harry I will hurt you," she said softly, "Even if you are a teacher."

Severus nodded, "Don't worry, I will make sure that no one will hurt him as long as he is my care."

The brunette glared then smiled. "Good."

'Harry's friends are almost as strange as he is.' Severus thought.

A few minutes later the boy bounced out the door and into Severus's arms. "Let's go Sev!" Harry said happily as he dragged his mate out the door with Hermione following them, smiling softly at the pair that they made.

The ball was in full swing when they got there. The four house tables had been removed, and instead had little round tables were along the edge of the walls. On the tables there were some flowers and empty plates with red and black tablecloths. The dance floor had some couples dancing already, Harry noted as he and his friends sat down at one of the tables. Severus had to sit with the teachers. Harry looked around and saw that Neville was setting next to Seamus Finnegan (A/N I think that's right). 'Where they together,' Harry wondered. Neville blushed as the Irish man kissed him. 'That's a yes.'

When the clock struck seven, Albus rose up in his detective costume and taped a glass with a spoon to get everyone's attention. He smiled warmly at the assembled school body and begin to speak. "Welcome ladies and gentlemen to our Halloween ball!"

A few students clapped and whistled. Albus nodded and smiled while waiting for the noise to die down. "Please have a great time with the party and don't cause fights or do anything I wouldn't do." Dumbledore smiled as and sat down.

Harry put a hand under his chin, cupping it. " 'Don't do anything I wouldn't do?' " Harry snorted. "That leaves so much we can do."

Luna smiled and blinked slowly, "That means we can do whatever we want." She was sitting next to her date wearing the same thing as Hermione was, except her hair was longer…really long. None of them had dyed their hair because Hermione had argued that then they would be cosplaying instead of just wearing costumes. Except for Severus, but then Harry had begged him to do that.

"Oh Merlin!" Draco exclaimed sitting up straighter in his chair. He was wearing a mad-hatter outfit and got his hair to be like Tamaki's, except for the blond part.

Harry looked at the person sitting next to him, in confusion. "What's wrong Draco?"

"I just had a thought…" he muttered, taking a drink of some punch that had apprehend. "Dumbledore has had sex right?"

Harry grimaced, "Thanks for the image Drakky!"

Drakky rolled his eyes. 'Now that I think about it, Father got me an Xbox…' he thought before returning back to the real world. "Do you think he made out during his time here?"

Harry, Hermione, Ginny, and even Luna, looked at him as if something was wrong with him. "Draco…why would you think of Dumbledork like that?" Harry asked with a appalled face.

"Draco…" Ginny said, as she felt his head. She was wearing a pretty dress and had her hair up in pig tales. "Are you okay?"

The rusty clogs begin to work. "No Ginny," Draco said while smirking inside. "I think there may be something wrong…"

"Aww here, let's go to get you something to take." Ginny said with a frown as she stood up. Draco nodded and got up to follow her.

Before Ginny left, Hermione grasped her arm and took her aside. "You do know that he's just faking it right?" Hermione asked.

Ginny rolled her eye's. "Of course he is. But we hardly get to some time to ourselves."

As the two were leaving Harry looked at Herm's. "Do you know if they sent owls to their parents about them being together?"

Hermione thought for a second. "I don't think so." Then froze at a person behind Harry. The boy, not liking the look on her face turned around and glared at the boy behind him.

"What do you want Ron?" Harry hissed out, then blinked. The boy was wearing a ballerina costume. A pink one. With skin tight tights.

"Wow," Luna whispered.

"Too bad Draco missed that," Hermione told Luna who giggled.

The boy glared at the couple before turning his attention to Harry, who was trying not to laugh. "Is there something you wanted?" Harry wheezed out.

Ron tried to look sheepish but instead it was more like a grimace. "I wanted to apologized to what I did last year. With…you know…being gay."

Harry raised his eyebrow, getting over the costume for now. "How about this…" Harry started to say. Ron nodded, thinking that he would be back in Harry's good graces soon. "I do not want to have to talk to you again, I never want to see you in my way, I want you to be as far away from me as you can be." Harry gazed at the red-head. "And if you get in any of my friends way…" Harry leaned in close. "I won't hesitate to kill you."

Ron nodded fearfully and backed away. As he tried to get those haunting green eyes out of his mind, he took a drink of some punch that he had in his hands and promptly passed out from the poison he put in there.

Severus rolled his eyes at the youngest male Weasley as he convulsed, and had to keep himself from snorting. All the other teachers had gone to the boy and were now taking the idiot boy to the nurse's office.

"Hem Hem!"

'No, go away bitch!' The dark man grumbled to himself.

"Hem Hem!"

Severus sighed as he tore his eyes away from Harry, who was sitting alone. Hermione and Luna where on the dance floor, dancing to a slow song. "Yes Professor?"

The witch giggled and Severus turned to her, then quickly away. She was dressed as an onion…a pink onion…

Umbridge giggled again and tried to pose. "Like what you see?" She said giggling again.

Severus looked everywhere but her. "Lovely costume…" he chocked out.

She gasped and graphed his arm. "I knew you would like it!"

Images of Umbridge dead flashed throughout his brain.

"Yes, well," Severus said trying to tug his arm away from her.

"Severus…"

'Good Merlin! Is she blushing?' Severus thought in horror.

"Would you like to dance?" The women said blushing.

A thought entered his head and he smiled. "In fact…" The man stood up. "I think I will."

Umbridge clapped her hands happily then gazed in astonishment as Severus walked to the table where Harry Potter was.

Everyone in the hall stopped talking as the saw who their potion professor was going to. There was a hush as the steps reverted throughout the Hall. Harry looked around as he wondered what was going on. A shadow fell over him and he looked up slowly.

Severus bowed from his waist. "Would you like to dance with me?"

Harry drew in his breath. "Yes."

Everyone in the hall gasped as Harry took one of the potion master hands and stumbled into his body.

And they danced, oblivious to all.

Hermione grinned at Harry as they passed her and smirked when she saw his tale was standing straight up.

"There so cute together," Luna said.

"Don't let Severus know you said that," Luna's dance partner said.

Luna giggled and leaned closer to Hermione, breathing in her scent. "Professor Snape." And grinned as Hermione laughed.

Umbridge growled as she saw HER Sev dance with that boy. Spinning around, she stalked down to her office and formed a plan to hurt the- bloody- boy-who-lived.

Harry and Severus where currently outside looking up at the moon. They where sitting on a bench they magically conjured earlier. Harry was leaning on his mates shoulder and sighed in happiness, as his tail moved happily.

"I wonder what people will think about us now," Harry said thoughtfully to the man beside him, as his tale twitched ever so slightly.

"That you're mine…" Severus said with a smirk. He leaned down to kiss Harry when a noise brought his head up.

Harry looked at the source of the noise to and gasped. "Grandfather?"

Please don't kill me! I am so sorry! Finally get a chapter done a made it a cliffhanger. Thank you for reading…hope it met your expatiations. Peace out! Also sorry about the how much dancing there was…. *heh* but there is fluff! (I think) And I will try to get the next chapter up by Thursday…try is the word.
