Hello everyone! Now I know it has been quite a while since I have updated but I have two reasons for this and hopefully you will understand/accept one or both of them. First off I've been really busy between school and work. College life isn't the easiest and well the homework isn't either. As for having free time on the weekends it seems like I have sold my soul to my job on the weekends. (sigh) It sucks but its how I make money. My other reason is that I haven't been writing a lot over the last couple weeks. I actually took like a week or a little more off from writing and focused on a book series, (Twilight) yes I sort of got sucked into it. (notes that Im wearing an Edward Cullen shirt as I type this... -- I've only read the first two so far) But the last couple days I have been trying to get back to my writing. At first you know how it goes when you haven't looked at it for a while. Its like there's this fog that you can't shake off because you can't remember what was going on. I'm getting over that right now and once I am done posting this chapter for you all I plan to continue writing tonight since its not quite 5:30 yet, I have plenty of time. I guess I do have a bit of a third reason that I am also working through. I'm a tad stuck in the story as what to do with it. Though I have written a list down and hopefully this will help that problem. I might ask you guys on your opinions on some of the things once I get around to them. I believe that's all I have for you for now. Also, since its been about two weeks since I have updated I figured it my duty to give you a longer chapter this time. Hopefully you will all forgive my absense and be happy with the longer chapter :) Or I can hope you will be... I see that this updating once a week thing might not be able to happen every week, so I'm going to shoot for once every other week, or try my darndest to od every week. We'll see how that goes and if I ever have time. So, without further delay, I do not own Harry Potter, nor do I own the song Bohemian Rhapsody, its property of Queen. I merely love the song to pieces and saw it fit.

Jess walked back over to Harry who had just finished his dance with Ginny. She was in deep thought as well as confusion as she approached him. "Hey Harry." Jess said as she came up to him.

"Hey Jess." Harry smiled and looked at her. "Hermione has calmed down quite a bit now."

"Oh, I'm glad!" A smile showed up on her face. "I was worried about her. She seemed really upset."

"Ginny just went to go and talk with her. I'm sure she'll have forgotten about it by tomorrow morning."

"I hope so… Harry?"

"Yeah Jess?"

"The last song that played was the one I chose so we could dance to it together."

"Oh." He felt a little stupid for having left her. "I'm really sorry, Jess. I didn't know. I if I had, I would have made sure we would have danced to it together. Next time a song comes on like that I promise I'm yours."

"Okay. You know I'm going to keep you to your word?'

Harry laughed, "Yes I do. I know you better than to blow it off."

Myron spoke over the crowd again. "Ladies and Gentlemen! Witches and Wizards! May I have you attention please?" Everyone looked over at him. "Alright, now we have one last song for the night. It's a request from one of you. So everybody gather around and DANCE!" As he finished something on the stage exploded and caused a large cloud of smoke. This was thought to be done on purpose as a piano began to play. Jess grinned as she knew right away what it was. Rachel quickly ran up to her.

"They're playing it, Jess!' She shouted with glee.

"I know! There isn't a more perfect way to end the night!" Jess looked over at Harry who was standing there, waiting for the song to pick up.

The lead singer began to sing. "Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide no escape from reality. Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see. I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy. Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low. Hit me when the wind blows. Doesn't really matter to me… To me…"

Jess and Rachel were bouncing around and singing along. A lot of people had never heard of this song because wizarding families didn't listen to muggle music. Which was a real shame, of that's what Jess and Rachel thought.

"Mama, just killed a man. Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger now he's dead. Mama, life had just began, but now I've gone and thrown it all away! Mama! Oooo! Didn't mean to make you cry!" The song was starting to pick up as the drums sounded. "If I'm not back this time tomorrow, carry on, carry on. As if nothing really matters." A small piano piece was played before Myron continued singing. "Too late, my time has come. Send shivers down my spine, body's achin' all the time. Goodbye everybody, I've got to go. Got to leave you all behind and face the truth! " The guitar began to blare as Myron belted out loudly. "Mama! Oooo! I don't want to die! Sometimes wish I'd never been born at all!"

An amazing guitar solo was played and by this time everyone was dancing and rocking out. Jess and Rachel danced in a circle as Harry danced solely.

"I see a little silhouette of a man. Scaramouch! Scaramouch, will you do the Fandango?"

The entire band had joined Myron. "Thunderbolt and lightening, very, very frightening!"

"Galileo!" One of them shouted.

"Galileo!" Another yelled back

"Galileo!"

"Galileo!"

Then they both sang together. "Galileo, Figaro!"

Myron then took lead again. "I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me."

The whole band sang with a lot of energy. "He's just a poor boy from a boy family. Spare him, his life from this monstrosity!"

"Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?"

This is where it got confusing as the entire band was randomly singing and shouting.

"Bismillah! No! we will not let you go!"

"Let him go!"

"Bismillah, we will not let you go!"

"Let him go!"

"Bismillah, we will not let you go!"

"Let me go!"

"Will not let you go!"

"Let me go!"

"Will not let you go!"

"Let me go!"

"No, no, no, no, no!"

"Oh, mamameia, mamameia."

"Mamameia let me go! Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me. For me! FOR ME!" The band went as high pitched as they could. Another guitar riff sounded and some people were head-banging, Jess and Rachel were among them.

Myron then began singing and yelling. "So you think can stop me and spit in my eye! So you think you can love me and leave me to die! Ooh baby! Yeah! Can't you listen to me baby, yeah! Just got to get out! Just got to get right out of here!" Another brief guitar sounded and the piano came back into play. The music began to tone down. "Ooooo, ooo yeah, ooo yeah. Nothing really matters! ... Anyway the wind blows." A small gong was hit and the song ended.

Everyone looked around shocked that, that was the end. The adrenaline was pumping in the room as Dumbledore stood. "That is all for tonight, sleep well!" His eyes twinkled, as the students began to head to the door.

"Wow." Was all Harry managed to say as he walked with Jess, Hermione and Rachel?

"Pretty awesome song, isn't?" Jess asked with a large grin on her face.

"I think that's an understatement. Hermione, you like that kind of music?" Harry looked at her surprised. That did not seem like the music Hermione Granger would listen to.

Hermione blushed slightly. "Well, they are the hardest music I listen to."

He smiled at her. "I'm just surprised is all. It was a really good song."

"Its definitely one of my favorites." She smiled back at him.

Rachel stopped and looked at the other three. "This is where I cut out. I had a lot of fun!" She gave Jess a quick hug. "I'll see ya later!"

"Goodbye Rachel" Harry and Hermione replied.

Jess waved as she said. "Bye Rachel!"

Harry, Jess and Hermione walked back the rest of the way in silence. Harry was content, Hermione was still emotional over the incident with Ron, and Jess' mind was racing. She couldn't think of who the handsome student she had danced with was. It was no one she recognized, so it couldn't have been a Gryffindor. Maybe it was a Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw boy in her year. There was no way it was a Slytherin. The very thought of a Slytherin, besides Zabini and his creepy motive, asking her to dance almost caused her to snort. That would be the day hell froze over. Little did she know it just had.

When they finally arrived at the Gryffindor tower, Harry was the only one who had found his voice and said the password. The portrait of the Fat Lady swung open and let them in. Harry looked to both Jess and Hermione and said. "I'll see you two tomorrow at breakfast."

Both Jess and Hermione smiled at him and then headed upstairs, both in their own little worlds. Jess went into the bathroom as soon as they arrived and washed off all her makeup. She then kicked off her shoes and changed into her pajamas. Hermione changes as well but didn't say a thing. "'Mione" Jess asked. "Are you alright?"

Hermione sat on the edge of her bed. "I'm fine Jess, don't worry about me."

"I can't help but worry."

"I told you I'm fine."

"Alright, if you insist." Jess decided to give up and climbed into her four-poster. "See ya in the morning."

"Goodnight." Hermione replied shortly and killed the light source. Within the next ten minutes she was out.

Jess on the other hand was wide awake. She lay on her side and looked over at Hermione. What Ron had done was uncalled for. Hopefully, next time he'd realize that before he had to have small birds attack him. In Jess' mind he got what he deserved. She also saw that Lavender was sleeping in her bed. That was a good sign. At least she and Ron weren't frequenting a midnight snog. Jess turned to her other side and faced away from them. A constant nagging thought of the guy dressed up as Zorro plaguing her mind. Jess closed her eyes and saw her and the guy dancing. She grunted in frustration and turned back to the other side. Stupid guy, she thought. I wonder who he is. I'll have to ask Rachel about some of the guys in her house, when I see her next. Content with her temporary solution, Jess situated herself more comfortably in her bed. She soon fell asleep. Her dreams were filled with an endless waltz between her and her mystery partner.

As soon as the last song of the night was called, Draco began to sneak out of the Great Hall. No one could find out his true identity, especially not Zabini. He was sure he was safe with Pansy, since she liked to hog all information about Draco to herself. He walked down the corridor and slunk into the dungeons. When he saw the familiar wall, Draco uttered the password and was bid into the green Slytherin common room. He then proceeded to get out of his costume and get dressed into his pajamas. Before he would go to bed, Draco would have to hide his costume, since he shared a room with Zabini. He put it in his trunk and locked it, putting a couple charms on it in case he wanted to snoop around. Once Draco felt comfortable with his precautions he fell onto his bed.



He stared up at the ceiling for what seemed like forever, thinking back on the night. Draco mentally smacked himself for what he had almost done, by kissing her. But his other thoughts mentally smacked him for not kissing her. Draco groaned and ran his hand through his now back to original colored platinum blonde hair. "I don't like her." He said to himself. "She's a mudblood." He mentally kicked himself again for calling her that. "I just didn't want Zabini taking advantage of her. Nothing wrong with that is there? Of course not! Why am I getting so defensive? For Merlin's sake she's just a muggle-born and a Gryffindor on top of that!" He was getting more frustrated with himself as each minute passed by. Draco could hear footsteps coming closer. "I don't like her." He whispered to himself as he closed his eyes. "She's just a filthy muggle-born."

The next morning Jess woke up refreshed and took a much wanted shower after a full night of dancing. She grabbed a clean set of her uniform clothes and headed to the showers. The warm water felt wonderful as it pounded down on her skin, wiping away all the grime and sweat she had developed the night before. Jess whistled a tune as she lathered her long hair with shampoo. Once she was clean and rid herself of shampoo and body wash, Jess stepped out and wrapped a fuzzy towel around her. She then dried off and changed into her uniform and brushed her hair. Once Jess was done she walked out to see Hermione was ready to go. It was so good to be back on speaking terms with her. Now all she dreaded was telling Ginny about her and Harry. When that was going to happen she had no idea. Hopefully never, but Jess knew that wasn't the case. The two girls grabbed their books and headed down to breakfast. Harry joined them soon after. About fifteen minutes later Ron came into view with Lavender and ignored the trio.

"He's never going to grow up is he?" Jess asked while looking over at him hamming it up with Lavender. "They disgust me."

"You're not the only one." Harry remarked as he did his best to block out the pair.

Hermione seemed not to notice or to care as she finished her pumpkin juice and stood. "We should go. Charms will be starting soon." After Hermione's lead Jess and Harry followed her over to professor Flit wick's classroom. They weren't surprised to see the door open and walked in. After taking their seats they noticed that Flitwick was absent. Another twenty minutes went by and everyone had piled into the room ten minutes ago, except for professor Flitwick.

Hermione opened her book and sighed. "He's running late. Professor Flitwick is usually always in here when class starts."

"He might have had a last minute errand to run. I wouldn't worry too much about him." Jess replied, trying to comfort her.

Another ten minutes passed and there was still no sign of their pint sized professor. Maybe he had slept in or he got a sub and the sub was quite slow. This was in fact not what the little professor was up to.



Professor Flitwick ran down the hall as fast as his little legs could carry him. He dodged another spell as he ran away from his assailant, professor Snape. Apparently, Snape had learned that it was Flitwick that had chosen his horrendous costume. He saw this payback fit as he had the charms teacher running for his life.

Snape cast off another spell that just went over poor Flitwick's head. He would have to think twice before making Snape the Easter Bunny again. To all the students that they passed it looked like Snape was on a homicidal rampage and Flitwick was his first victim. Everyone made sure they made a more than wide enough path for the pair as they both ran by.

Flitwick was almost to his classroom. He was so close that he could smell it. If he could just get into his classroom he'd be safe from Snape's wrath. The door was in sight and luckily for him, open. Flitwick dived for the door as if his very life depended on it. Which by the look on Snape's face it probably did, he landed inside the Charms room and shut the door as fast as he physically could. With labored breath the little professor turned towards his class. "So sorry I'm late!" He exclaimed while walking to the front of the room. "Professor Snape and I had a bit of a small disagreement." By the looks of Flitwick's disheveled appearance it had to be more than just a small disagreement. "How are the non-verbals coming?" He asked cheerfully as the students merely blinked. After the initial shock of their professor's entrance they calmed down and got to work. Luckily for Flitwick it was a Double Charms class today so they'd be able to get some work done. This display of professor Snape's behavior insured the students that he was not a force to be reckoned with, unless you wanted to be sent home to your parents in a body bag.

After Charms the Gryffindor's went to lunch. The main topic around the Great Hall was the sight of professor Snape chasing professor Flitwick down the hall's with vengeance. "I'm just glad he got to his classroom in one piece." Jess commented to Hermione and Harry.

"I wonder why Snape was chasing him in the first place. I can't think of anything Flitwick could do to enrage Snape" Hermione responded.

As if it was clear to him, Harry grinned. "I think I know what he did."

"What?" Both of the girls asked.

"I'm betting it was Flitwick that gave him the costume idea for the party last night."

"Do you really think that Snape would over react that much?" Hermione asked, not convinced.

"Hermione, he was the Easter Bunny. He was dressed as an oversized pink rabbit that hides Easter eggs. I bet that sent Snape through the roof. He must have just figured out it was Flitwick who did it."

Professor Flitwick had been wise and decided to not show up for lunch. He stayed safe in the confines of his office, while Snape brooded at the staff's table in the Great Hall. He stabbed his pasta 

salad with such force that half of it shot off his plate. This freaked out all of the staff except Dumbledore who was thoroughly enjoying his tuna melt.

After lunch they headed down to Herbology to check on their Fanged Geranium's. Harry and Jess joined by Neville put on their gloves and measured the width and height of their plants. They were coming along nicely. Professor Sprout walked over and complimented their excellent progress thus far. They then watered the plants and make sure that the plants had everything they needed until their next Herbology class. After Herbology, Harry Jess and Hermione walked back up to the castle and to their last class of the day, Transfiguration. Professor McGonagall was particularly crabby today so everyone was on their best behavior. Once class ended, Hermione insisted that they all headed to the library and do homework.

Draco's day had been rather uneventful. Now that the Halloween party was over everything was back to normal, which meant that Draco had to start acting like the snobbish Slytherin prince. He was getting tired of dealing with how stupid Crabbe and Goyle could be. What was even more annoying was how Pansy followed him around like a puppy. Not to mention that Draco also had the responsibility of looking after Zabini and making sure he kept away from Anderson. All in all, Draco had a busy schedule. Throw in classes and homework and he didn't have much time for anything else. Draco also wondered who had been the guy that had stolen Jess' heart. He knew that just about every guy that wasn't a Slytherin would kill to have the chance to have her attached to their arm. Whoever it was they were quite lucky.

He decided to go to the library and escape the overbearing stupidity of Crabbe and Goyle. Draco would be safe in their since he knew Crabbe and Goyle wouldn't be caught dead in the library. He smirked and walked into the library with his head held high. A broader smirk crossed over his face when he saw the golden trio hard at work. Feeling that he had been lacking in giving Potter grief, Draco walked over. "If it isn't Potty, and his little fangirls. What are you doing in here? I thought they didn't let idiots in here."

Harry turned his head at the familiar drawl. "And I thought they didn't let animals in the library." He replied in an even tone.

Draco narrowed his eyes. "Watch it Potter, if the professor's catch you cheating off of Granger's homework you'll be kicked off the Quidditch team faster than you can say goodbye to the house cup."

Hermione rolled her eyes. "What do you want, Malfoy?"

"Who said I wanted anything from you, mudblood?" Draco sneered as he got Hermione to shut up.

"I suggest you leave ferret, before you get kicked out." Jess replied boldly.

Draco scoffed and left. He went over to one of the table's in the back of the library and worked on his Divination and History of Magic essays.



After a while Jess, Harry and reluctantly Hermione called it quits and went to dinner. Ginny came over and talked to them about how awesome the Halloween party was. About an hour later Jess and Hermione excused themselves to go and finished up their Arithmancy assignment together. When they got up to their room the coast was clear and there were no signs of their other roommates. Hermione sat down at her desk and asked. "Jess, when do you think you're going to tell Ginny about you and Harry?"

Jess emitted a soft sigh as she sat down on her bed. "I'm not sure. I don't want the news spreading like wild fire. Harry doesn't know what we should do either. I haven't seen Ginny really mad so I don't know how she will react."

"There's only one way to find out."

"I know that, but I don't need another one of my close friends mad at me."

"You should tell her soon though."

"No duh, Hermione."

"No need to get defensive."

"I'll tell her soon okay?"

"Alright." Hermione opened her Arithmancy book. "We're almost done with our assignment so lets finish it."

"Fair enough." They finished the Arithmancy paper and then talked more about other things like the rising threat of Voldemort and how they could help Harry. They decided to call it quits around eleven and go to sleep.

Well there we have chapter thirty-six! Again I apologize for the delay. I'm really going to try and make sure it doesn't take this long again, but as I said before I am somewhat busy now. So if you guys just bear with me here I promise that I will not abandon this story. Please review and tell me what you thinK!
