Never had a dream come true
Chapter 15 It's Christmas
As it was drawing nearer to December, everyone was excited about the Yule Ball, especially this year, Eve was arranging a muggle disco for the Ball, which was requested by Dumbledore as all the students wanted to have a go for it after listening to the popular music she had introduced.
Life was as busy as it could be, with the teachings, the ball disco and the secret Christmas present she prepared for Severus, she could still handle it pretty well, like the hat said, she was back to normal, although black circles started to appear around her eys. She felt great and happy. Severus was also really busy with marking students' work because, Eve's best friends had invited them to stay for the whole Christmas holiday with them, so he had to finish all his markings before then. It's not really good to bring work with you for holiday.
******************************
The night of the Yule Ball
******************************
Eve had finally finished correcting the student's homework, enchanted the MD player and the disco lights to work without electricity, but she still hadn't made up her mind what to wear for the Ball. Minerva and Hooch were already dressed, who were in her room, helping her now.
"We only had thirty minutes to finish you up, or we'll be late. We need to do some work with covering up the black circles too. Make up your mind now." Hooch said with an excited tone.
"I am still not sure if I should wear the red ball gown or the black cheongsam*."
*cheongsan, a kind of chinese traditional costume, a picture of it is available on this website http://www.efuchina.com/products/qcc/qcc25_b.jpg
"We have seen you in both, dear. You look great in both. The red gown goes well with your skin colour, but you look extraordinarily elegant in the black cheongsam." Minerva smiled at her.
"She wanted to look her best for Severus... haha... is it?" Hooch teased her.
"HOOCH!!!" Eve shouted at Hooch, whose face was now bright red. Why did she let her come here to help her out?
"No need to be shy. Everyone knows that you two are in love." Minerva patted her on the shoulder. She was really glad that she got Severus, obviously, she seemed more confident and happy now. "But you do need to make up your mind now, we don't have much time left."
Eve looked at the ball gown and the cheongsam. She had worn the ball gown once for her graduation dinner, but she had never worn the cheongsam before. The cheongsam was made of black silk and satin, with black pearls and beads as decoration. It belonged to her grandma in the past, and eventually passed onto her, and she loved it, and decided to left it for more special occasion. She thought it was the time for it now.
"Okay, I'll go with the black cheongsan."
"Excellent, go change into the cheongsan then. Minerva, you take care of her hair. I'll put on the make-up for her."
***************************
Outside the Great Hall
***************************
Severus was waiting outside the hall, and students had started going into the hall.The students were all kind of shock for his appearance. He tied his hair back, and wore a tuxedo. It's the first time everyone saw him in muggle clothes. He offered to go get her, but she insisted him to wait for her outside the hall. He was getting nervous.
"Waiting for Eve, Snape? Wow, you are in a tuxedo!" Remus patted him on his shoulder from behind.
Severus turned round and snarled at him, "Lupin, haven't you learnt your lesson for patting one's shoulder from behind?"
"Sorry, you seem not in a pretty good mood. Nervous?"
Severus didn't answer him.
"Snape, I need to tell you something."
Severus looked at him, waiting for him to say what he wanted to say.
"We knew about Eve's past."
This time, Severus looked at him, wide-eyed. "You mean...?"
"Yes, headmaster told me and Minerva." Remus was now looking at Severus really seriously. "Snape, I treated her like a little sister I have wanted for so long, but if you ever hurt her, I will bite you and turn you into a werewolf too. Understand?" Remus was really serious this time.
"You have my word. I will never hurt her." He didn't mock him this time, and gave him the answer, reassuring him he was serious with Eve.
"Okay, by the way, she is coming this way now." With that, he left and entered the hall.
Severus looked at Eve, who was coming towards him. She looked fabulous. She was wearing a black cheongsam, decorated with black pearls and beads. She had pulled her hair into a bun near her neck, decorated with a black pearl hair comb.
"Sorry for waiting." Then Eve noticed that he was in a tuxedo. "I didn't expect you to wear a tuxedo. Really charming."
"I know you are going to wear Muggle formal dressing. As I am your partner tonight, I better wear the same style in tuxedo to go with you. You look fabulous." They just stood there looking at each other.
Then Hooch and McGonagall, who had been watching them at the door. Hooch broke the silence, "Hey, love birds, it's almost time, you can look at each other the whole night inside."
"HOOCH!!!" Eve screamed at Hooch, who regretted for letting her help with her appearance. Hooch swiftly rushed into the hall, and McGonagall said, "Eve, Severus, really, you need to come in now, the ball is about to start." She gave them a thoughtful smile, and went in to the hall.
"Shall we?" He held out his arm to her, and she laced her arm through his. They walked into the hall, and caught quite an attention.
"Want to walk over to the Gryffindore table before going to the Teachers' table?" asked Eve.
"Why? We are Slytherin."
"Draco told me about a bet Ron made."
"And?"
"Harry and Hermione suspected that there is something between us after they saw you carried me to infirmary after the sorting, but Ron bet that if there is something between us other than collegues, he... would eat the Gryffindo table." Eve said, trying hard to hold back her laughter.
"Well, let's go. I am really interested how Mr. Weasley is going to do this."
*************************
"Oh for Merlin's sake!"
"Ron? What? Hermione, What's wrong with him?" asked Ginny.
"He was shocked by that." Hermione pointed at the direction of Eve and Severus, who were walking towards them.
"She looks lovely. I love her cheongsam. Oh my god, Professor Snape is in a tuxedo!" admired Ginny.
"You look great in your satin dress too. Is it the one Malfoy told me about? For your birthday?" asked Harry.
"What?! Ginny, you received a present from Malfoy?! Give it back to him!" shouted Ron.
"You!!! Keep your nose out of this. You should worry about yourself first." Ginny smirked.
"Why? I am your elder brother!"
"Because it is time for you to fulfil your bet." Draco smirked, who just came over from his table, telling Ginny get ready for the first dance.
"Malfoy, how..."
"Ginny told me."
"Ginny!!! How could you?!"
"I told you many times to be careful with your bet, Ron." laughed Harry.
"So, when are you going to eat the table, Mr. Weasley?" asked Severus.
*************************
"Remus, stop smiling like that. It's freaky." asked Eve.
"He is always like that. Just neglect him." Severus looked at Remus like he was a psycho.
"Snape, don't tell me that you didn't laugh at Ron's reaction when you asked him to eat the table! Haha!" Remus started laughing again. "Just fainted like that!"
"Oh, sod it, Remus. You have been laughing about it for over half an hour already. That's not really nice."
"Sorry, but it is funny."
Then, Dumbledore patted Remus on the shoulder, said,"Remus, I heard about what happened, but it is enough for now." He turned to Eve, "You look fabulous tonight, dear. By the way, can we start the disco now?"
"Yes." She went over to the stage to check the appliances. "Everything's ready, headmaster."
"Can I have everybody's attention please!" Dumbledore shouted, "I announced the disco starts NOW!"
With that, Eve turned on the MD player and the disco lights, and the hall was turned into a disco.
***************************
Everyone all enjoyed the disco. Hermione and Harry danced crazily to the song "Don't stop moving", as for Ginny and Draco, no one believed that they loved the slow song "What can I do to make you love me". Even Dumbledore was dancing with Minerva along to the song "one more time", which was techno music, a rather rare taste for old people. Hagrid was dancing with Hooch, who tried hard not to step on to Hooch's feet. It seemed like Ron still hadn't recovered yet. He might have a really hard time from Hermione later if he didn't wake up until tomorrow. Eve was sitting with Severus in a corner watching, enjoying the company of each other.
"The music is good. You arranged all those songs together?" Severus asked with a amazement.
"Yes, I used to arrange the christmas disco in university. Of course this time, I have added some popular songs of the magic world too. I was really popular as Disc Jockey for arranging discos at that time."
The song just ended. "Well then, could I ask the popuar disc jockey to dance the next song with me?"
"Of course. But not this song, the song after. It's my favourite song that is going to play, I want to listen to it."
"As you like it, my lady."
The music started again, and they sat there listening to the song...
Share my life, take me for what I am
Cause I'll never change all my colours for you
Take my love, I'll never ask for too much
Just all that you are and everything that you do
I don't really need to look very much further
I don't want to have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again this passion inside
Can't run from myself, there is no where to hide
You see through right to the heart of me
You break down my walls with the strength of your love
I never knew love like I've known it with you
Whether memory survive, one I can hold on to
Don't make me close one more door
I don't want to hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me
I have nothing nothing nothing
If I don't have you
You
