:: The next day, Zoey slept all day and missed all of her classes. Around lunchtime she awoke to a room full of Halloween treats from her friends.
She had had no nightmare at all last night. When she had finished getting dressed in her Slytherin robes, she left for lunch in the Great Hall. When she entered, she felt a joyous feeling all over her body. There was the smell of pumpkin juice and pastries in the air, bright colored orange and black streamers hanging across the room, and candies charmed to glow a bright orange color. Real fruit bats flew above everyone's head. And of course, on every table and corner, there were huge Jack-o'-lanterns, all sporting unique grins.
A small little group of First Years ran around the room with their scary masks, practicing for tonight's ball. One of the little First Years ran into Zoey. She was a tiny redheaded Hufflepuff girl. When she bumped into Zoey the First Year fell backwards and landed on the floor. Zoey put her hand out to help the little girl. ::

Hufflepuff Girl:: Oh I'm so sorry
:: She takes off her goblin mask and looks up at Zoey. Her face quickly went from joy and laughter to scared and grim. ::

Hufflepuff Girl:: Oh my gosh!! You're one of them! Oh please don't hurt me!

Zoey:: Why would I want to hurt you? :: She still has her hand out to help the little girl up::

Hufflepuff Girl:: You're the Dark--
:: But the girl couldn't finish because lunch had just ended and her friend was pulling her towards the Hufflepuff Common Room. ::

:: Zoey forgot about the girl; she had other problems to deal with ... like how she was supposed to finish getting her costume ready for the ball in only three hours. ::
:: Meanwhile, in the Gryffindor Boys' dorms Zander was finishing his costume in a rush. Well, not him really, his wand was doing most of the work. He had charmed a needle and black thread to sew his costume together and had a caldron bubbling with some kind of potion. He also had zapped a broom to sweep up the around his bed. As all this commotion was going on Zander simply leans back in his desk chair reading "Qudditch Through the Ages".::

Zander:: yawns:: This is so much work! :: Laughs and turns the page::

:: The three hours melt away and now Zander, Hermione, and Harry are dressed and ready to go to the Ball. They wait outside their Common Room for Zoey to meet up with them. Hermione is wearing a long purple dress, which looks like it is from the 12th century Merlin times. She has half of her hair up in a bun and half down. Harry is dressed in a forest green cape, which has a hood that lies on top of his head, and the cape covers his whole body and touches the floor. Under his cape he is wearing a long black robe. Zander is wearing, a trench coat and near the bottom ends of it, and it has flames, which were magically made to move. Under it he has a tight black long sleeve shirt and black pants. His hair spiked up and has a golden shine to it.::

:: Hermione looks at her watch::

Hermione:: Zoey had better hurry up or were going to miss the whole dance! :: Hermione begins twirling a lock of hair with her finger::

:: From the shadows Zoey emerges and walks up to them, practically floating. She is wearing a white Victorian dress that sparkled in the light. She had her hair curled, and what looked like white fairly powder sprinkled over it. She looks just like an angel.::

:: Harry and Zander's jaws drop, and Hermione rolled her eyes at them::


Harry:: Wow. You...you look like ... like ...

Zander:: An angel!

Hermione:: Oh brother! Boys! :: She rolls her eyes again::

Zoey:: What are you guys standing there for? We're going to be late!!
:: Zoey and Hermione pull the two away towards the Great hall::

:: As they are walking down the hallway Zoey, Zander, and Harry begins to hear something,. It was voices, all Hermione could hear was nothing::

Zander:: Can you hear that?

Hermione:: Hear what?

Harry:: I can hear it too...

Zoey:: So can I.

Hermione:: Well I don't hear anything! I don't know what you guys are talking about ... all I hear is the music from the Great Hall. Let's hurry up I want--

Zoey, Harry, and Zander:: Shhhhh.... :: they listen some more::

:: They are now standing in front of the Great Hall doors. Hermione is about to open one of the doors::

Zander:: Hermione, NO!
:: She then opened the Doors the room was dark there were no candies lit, it was pitch black!::

Hermione:: What the!!
:: Then two ropes came from the darkness and wrapped around Harry and Hermione and pulled them in as they screamed.::

Zander and Zoey:: Hermione ...Harry!!!!
:: They quickly run into the darkness to go save Hermione and Harry, then the Great Hall doors close and lock::

:: The End for NOW::
