Chapter 6: Halloween Ball-part 1
The day of the ball everyone in the school was super excited and could hardly concentrate on their schoolwork. All people could think about was the ball and feast that would be taking place that evening. The talk of the corridors was what everyone's costumes would be and what they looked like.
"Oh my god Chloe! This is going to be the best ever especially since I'm going with Harry." "I know how excited you are. You've been saying it since like you and Harry got together." "You've got to help me put the finishing touches on tonight before the ball. Please?" "Of course I will Hermione. This is going to be the best ever." Little did they know that a certain someone was planing an attempted to completely ruin Harry and Hermione's perfect evening. But whether or not they would succeed is another question.
"Hey Harry, you're planing to go with Hermione to the ball tonight, right?" "Of course. Why wouldn't I? I just know this will be the night where I give this to her as a token of my everlasting love for her." Harry took a deep cerulean (Hermione's favorite color), case out of his pocket and opened it to reveal a beautiful ring. The ring consisted of a heart shape diamond in the middle surrounded by sapphires and light pink rubies set in a 24-karat gold band. "Holy cow! How did you afford that? That looks so expensive." "Well, it was but Hermione is all worth it. I figure that once we are out of Hogwarts next year, her and I can get married and live the life we've always dreamed of." "Hermione is going to love that as much as she loves you." "Actually, I think she loves me more than she will this ring." "True, so true. Hermione loves you more than anything in the world, or that's what Chloe has been telling me."
Meanwhile, down in the Slytherin common room, Malfoy was planing a way to make Hermione and Harry's perfect night an absolute, perfect, disaster. "Let's see Crabbe. Now, we need to get some of those flobberworms and blast ended skrewts from Hagrid's garden before the ball and make sure that they are completely hidden until everyone is in the Great Hall. Then, once everybody's in we can unleash them all right where Potter and Granger are." Crabbe and Goyle were staring off into space, confused at what Malfoy was trying to explain to them. "Are you two even bothering to listen to what I'm trying to explain to you!?!?" They both still sat there with a dumbfounded look on their faces. "Forget it! Just follow my lead tonight and do everything I do. Okay? Can you at least handle that?" They both nodded their heads even though they still had no clue what he was trying to explain to them.
Everyone was busy getting ready in the Gryffindor common room that night, before the ball. Especially the Gryffindor girls, including Hermione, Chloe, Lavender, and Ginny. The whole Gryffindor common room was completely hectic from the time they got out of classes to come up and get ready until the time came for everyone to leave to go down to the Great Hall for the Halloween Feast before the ball.
Little did everyone know that Malfoy and his gang were out on the grounds collecting what they needed to ruin everybody's evening. Or so they thought.
Malfoy's P.O.V.
Now, as long as I make sure that these flobberworms and blast ended skrewts make their way around to everyone in the Great Hall without getting caught. Then, I will surely spoil everyone's supposedly perfect evening. Wait, why am I doing this? I don't want to ruin everyone's evening really. I guess I just want the attention from everyone when I'm the only one not freaked out. I mean, everyone's afraid of me so I guess I'm just keeping up my reputation. But, why do I have to? It makes no sense. Or does it? Stop it!! I'm confusing me. I just have to get these flobberworms and skrewts before anyone sees me. Malfoy got what he needed despite the fact that he was a little afraid of the skrewts and his conscious kept telling him not to go through with it. Nobody else except Crabbe and Goyle knew what Malfoy was going to do and they didn't dare tell anyone because they found it amusing when Malfoy was cruel to fellow students and any other people around.
At exactly 7:20 students from every house exited their common rooms and made their way to the Great Hall. Hermione and Harry walked hand in hand down the staircases on their way. "Oh Harry, I know it's only Halloween but still, this is going to be a really special ball since we are together finally." She smiled, gave him a quick kiss on the cheek as they kept walking still, hand in hand. "Oh Hermione, you will never be able to guess how special it is and will be once it's half past 8." "Oh, and why is that?" "You'll find out between quarter and half past 8." They finally reached the crowded hallway outside of the Great Hall, waiting to go in and begin.
~! End! This was a bit longer than the other one but not by much, I know. They'll get longer than this after chapter 8, promise. Otherwise, plez R&R. Thanx !~
