Welcome to the next chappie of our fic!!!
Disclaimer: The creepy man in the trench coat who is handing out candy tells me that I do not own Harry Potter, I'm inclined to believe him, so it is still owned by J.K. Rowling.
Notes: Well… not much to say about this chapter. I'm home sick, so there's not much else to do but type.
Reviewers:
To everyone who has stayed loyal to us, we love you!!
On with da' fun!
"Lavender… what are you supposed to be?" Ryoko asked, sitting on the edge of her bed while preparing her own costume for the ball. Lavender smirked before sticking out her hip,
"I'm a ghost." She put the white sheet over her head as Ryoko started to put on her jedi costume. The light brown outfit looked odd on her as she pulled back her silver hair and put her red light saber in the holder. Dita and Sasami were going as the same thing and were waiting in the common room.
"What about Parvati?" Lavender sat on the bed before shrugging, "What's wrong with you and her?" Lavender had told Ryoko and Hermione that the two were seeing each other secretly. Lavender looked up at Ryoko before muttering,
"She wants to tell people, I can't deal with that. I won't have others ruining our relationship. She didn't even tell Padma yet." Ryoko nodded before helping her friend up,
"Why do you think I keep mine a secret." She knew that would cheer up the gossip queen considerably,
"Who? O.M.G Ryo! Tell, tell!" the jedi-clad witch walked down the stairs of the dormitory with Lavender begging for details. Ryoko walked up to her friends as Sadeko walked though the hidden door. Everyone's eyes grew three sizes bigger as she fixed her bunny ears.
"You're a playmate?" Sasami asked confused as Sadeko nodded,
"What else would I be?" Ryoko grinned before asking,
"The whole point to is dress up as something you're not Sadie." Sadeko looked mad for a second before grinning,
"Yeah, but it's so sexy." Parvati walked in next with an identical sheet over her head, the couple looked to each other before Lavender pulled it off her head,
"One of us is going to have to change." They smiled before they all headed to the Great Hall and their respective friends.
-- Great Hall –
The hall was free of the long tables and was replaced with hundreds of smaller ones, covered in black and orange. Candles hovered over-head as small pumpkins adorned each table. A band started to set up on stage as Dita could be heard yelling in agony,
"Harry no!" the boy-who-lived pulled off his black mask while looking at Dita with concern,
"What's the matter?" Dita started to feel tears form in her eyes before muttering,
"You're a ninja… why are you a ninja?" Harry looked over his costume before grinning,
"Because I look cool." He thought to himself smiling, 'This year is going to be great… no Voldamort, no bad dreams, a great girlfriend, amazing friends… maybe it's all over.' The two held hands as Sasami asked with smiling,
"Ron, why are you dressed as a butler?" The red-head sighed out of annoyance,
"I'm James Bond, not a butler! Hey, look at Malfoy." The group turned around as Draco Malfoy was dressed as a pirate. Ryoko excused herself to get something to drink as she was pulled to out of the doors with the blonde wizard,
"You look very shibby." She said with a smile as he bowed slightly,
"I try, so why is Weasel dressed up as a butler?" Ryoko rolled her eyes,
"please don't call him that, his name is Ron and he's James Bond." Draco looked confused before asking
"Who?" she kissed his cheek softly before walking back with her friends. Sadeko walked next to her smiling madly,
"I was with you the whole time." Ryoko nodded before muttering,
"Ditto." The two walked to the group as they began to look at everyone else's costumes. Professor Flitwick walked past them on a pair of stilts and very Hagrid-like clothes and even a fake beard. The half-giant himself stood next to a very familiar nymph. Hagrid dressed up as a leprechaun as Caloipi was dressed in her usual layered green dress.
"Hello students, professors, and welcome to the Halloween ball!" a small gasp went though the group as Professor Dumbledore straightened his urban yet purple clothes. He adjusted the large and heavy looking silver chains with 'Gansta' written in what looked like either diamonds or rhinestones.
"For your entertainment we have a very special band… Fall Out Boy!" the band walked forward and yelled,
"Hello Philly! We're so happy to be doing this concert in the city of brotherly love!" their eyes looked glazed as Dumbledore placed another illusion charm on the band.
"Where is your boy tonight? I hope he is a gentleman.
Maybe he won't find out what I know: you were the last good thing about this part of town.
When I wake up, I'm willing to take my chances on the hope I forget
that you hate him more than you notice I wrote this for you.
Do you need him? I should be him.
I could be an accident but I'm still trying.
That's more than I can say for him.
Where is your boy tonight? I hope he is a gentleman.
Maybe he won't find out what I know: you were the last good thing about this part of town.
Someday I'll appreciate in value, get off my ass and call you...but for the meantime I'll sport my
brand new fashion of waking up with pants off at 4:00 in the afternoon.
Do you need him? I should be him.
I could be an accident but I'm still trying.
That's more than I can say for him.
1-2-3-4!
Where is your boy tonight? I hope he is a gentleman.
Maybe he won't find out what I know: you were the last good thing about this part of town.
(won't find out) he won't find out
(won't find out) he won't find out
Where is your boy tonight? I hope he is a gentleman.
Maybe he won't find out what I know: you were the last good thing about this part of town.
Where is your boy tonight? I hope he is a gentleman.
Maybe he won't find out what I know: you were the last good thing about this part of town."
They sang as everyone started to dance, Ryoko and Sadeko slipped away from the group as they bumped into a green, black and yellow spandex clad Neville Longbottom,
"You're Robin?" Ryoko asked grinning as he fixed the black mask over his eyes.
"Why aren't you Bat-Man?" Neville asked with disappointment in his voice,
"Sorry Nev'." Ryoko patted his shoulder before walking with Sadeko to a dark corner,
"Did you find the spell?" Sadeko asked before walking away, she saw a hot guy and as she says 'Blondes shall never be denied' Ryoko grabbed her wand before seeing two red-head who looked like Ron sitting in the corner as well, one dressed in a red Japanese school girl uniform and the other a white cat with a yellow crescent moon on his forehead,
"Sailor Mars and Atriums?" she asked as they both jumped,
"Jedi Master?" they asked before pulling out their wands and muttering "Novus vultus." Ryoko felt her jaw drop as she yelled,
"That was my spell!" The twin smirked before walking away, the bright yellow light spread throughout the room as all of the students and got hit with the beam.
Ryoko made her way over to her friends while feeling very odd… Sadeko hopped around on the ground while as a bunny. Ron walked around asking for orders as Draco and Harry started to fight over who was better.
"Get funky with it Dumbledore,
Get funky with it Dumbledore," people started to chant while Professor Dumbledore started to break dance in the center of the group. Parvati and Lavender were no where to be found while Dita and Sasami were testing out their light sabers.
"George! George!" a white cat ran through the Great Hall as the red-head ran after him in the uniform.
"OH MY GOODNESS!" Professor McGonagall exclaimed, hugging the now half-giant Flitwick, "You're so big, and furry!" she hugged Professor Flitwick as he grinned, needless to say the headmistress was dressed as a muggle and thus, lost her memory. Hagrid walked around, only about three feet tall. Neville ran past the group, attaching a grappling hook to the doorways and swinging around.
"Master- Dita, this is insanity. We have to stop them before Darth Vader can attack as well." Sasami yelled, pulling out her green light saber as the once plastic sword turned into an actual ray of light. The room was filled with more light as Luna Lovegood stood on the stage, everyone sat down on the ground as McGonagall looked at Flitwick, who looked back… as they detached themselves very awkwardly.
"We don't speak of that professor." The aged magic users nodded before walking away. Dumbledore stood up from his spot on the ground, before announcing that Fred and George Weasley were to report to his office as soon as possible. The golden trio shook their heads as Draco stormed away from the group before going back to the Slytherins.
"Um… what was that?" Ron asked, shaking his head quickly. The party commenced as Harry and Dita danced together. They laughed as Harry confided,
"This has got to be my best year yet." As soon as the last word left Harry's mouth, the glass ceiling to the Great Hall shattered, down flew a lifeless body… of Percy Weasley.
Sorry this took so long!!!
Your loyal authoress,
Ryoko
