Chapter 5: The Preparation
"So, you guys are FINALLY together! Took long enough, don't you think so Lavender?" Ron burst out on their way down to the Great Hall. "Yeah, I know it did but hey. At least we are together now and no one will ever come between that." Hermione smiled the sweetest of smiles and blushed a bright pink color. They sat down, let Professor Dumbledor say what he had to say, and then began to eat breakfast.
"So, Hermione, the Halloween Ball is only a week away. What do you plan on wearing?" "Oh, um, well, I'm not sure yet. But I'm sure whatever it is, it will take a while to put together so I'd better start working on whatever it is tonight. Care to help?" "Sure, then maybe you could help me with mine?" "Sure. Well, we better be off to Defense Against the Dark Arts. Lupin will be disappointed if we are late." "Okay."
They ran off to Professor Lupin's class so as to not be late. Defense Against the Dark Arts was never a boring class since Professor Lupin decided to come back as their teacher. When that class was over Harry and Hermione walked hand in hand to their next class which happened to be History of Magic, the most boring class ever. Sitting there, listening to Professor Binns rattle on about nonsense that happened in the past. They were careful about holding hands walking down to the Potions lesson with Professor Snape as to not give him another reason to tease them all. When it finally reached time for dinner they headed to the Great Hall in a hurry to get prepared for the Halloween Ball the following week.
After dinner Hermione and Harry headed up to the Gryffindor common room to start designing their costumes. "I wonder what I can make with this stuff." Hermione thought out loud while looking at her pile of magical thread, needles, material, and ribbons. "I don't know but I'm sure whatever you make will look beautiful on you." "You're so sweet Harry." They sat and worked on their costumes until 10:00 at night when they finally became too tired to continue.
It took 5 nights like the first to finally get their costumes finished. Hermione's was of a beautiful baby blue color. She was to be an angel from heaven and according to Harry, she was already one. Her wings had a beautiful, silvery, glow, which she magicked to twinkle. She put a spell on her halo so it would float above her head like it's suspended in think air with nothing holding it up. Harry was to be a Frankenstein with a big, green, square, head. He made a mask that consisted of a large, green, square box with little bolts sticking out of both sides of his neck. He looked like one of those Frankenstein monsters from a movie that Dudly had made him watch when he was living at the Dursley's before he found out he was a wizard.
They only had 1 more day until the Halloween Ball when they had finished. "So, do you think anyone else will have as good of costumes as us?" "I don't know. It all depends how much work they put in to them. I know we put a whole ton of work into ours so I know that they are perfect." "I wonder what Chloe and Aaron's costumes are?" "I don't know. Why don't we ask them? I think that's them coming in through the portrait hole right now." "Okay."
Hermione had been right. It was Chloe and Aaron coming into the common room. Hermione walked up to Chloe, "Hey." "Hey. So, how's your costume coming?" "Good. Harry and I finished them yesterday evening. How bout yours?" "Oh, it's okay I guess." "What are you going as?" "I think I'm going as a gypsy princess. Or at least that's what my costume resembles so that's what I'll be I guess." "Oh, that sounds cool. How bout Aaron? What is he going as?" "Well, he said he want's to go as a handsome prince but he hasn't got much of his costume done. I'll have to help him if he plans to have it finished by tomorrow evening." "Okay. That sounds cool."
After they all talked about their plans for tomorrow, the four of them went upstairs to their separate dormitories to get some rest.
