Tripping And Falling

Part 6: Her Name is Isabelle NOT Mary Sue :P

A/N: Yeah I know what a Mary Sue is! Isabelle is kinda Mary Sue-ish but she has depth and I never said she was perfect I just said she was rich and knew some French I mean HELLO there is a difference LOL! In this chap we shall explore the depth of my Mary Sue! Plus I just realized that I said the last chap would have to Yule Ball and it didn't so I guess this one will. Once again I fear I've had bit too much of sugar and drink which isn't exactly a nice mix... for my already bad writing that is..... oh well!

When Draco woke up he made sure he hid the letter in his trunk and then he got cleaned up and dressed. Tonight was the Yule Ball and Draco couldn't wait to see Isabelle. When he went down to breakfast she wasn't there. He hadn't seen her in the common room either, maybe she was sleeping still. Just as he'd stood up again Dumbledore entered and made an announcement, "My students, I am very sorry to tell you this but the Musical Group scheduled to perform at the Yule Ball has cancelled on us and unless any of the students have any reasonable ideas we'll have to get DJ or have Moaning Myrtle sing for us." He grinned

Isabelle was probably planning on singing or something, he'd never actually heard her sing so that would be good. But then she just decided to bust open the doors to the Great Hall very loudly and walk in with her hair tied on the top of her head and sticking out in all sorts of places and angles. She was not wearing her uniform robes, instead she was wearing silk, blue camouflage pajama pants and an oversized white t-shirt that said "Proud to Be and American Girl" with bright pink stars.

She rubbed her eyes and yawned as she walked in and sat next to Draco, everybody was staring at her. Then 3 other girls from Slytherin showed up with their hair in equal disarray and were wearing muggle pajamas. Everybody was staring at all four of them. It wouldn't have been so odd if those girls had been anyone except for Isabelle Parker, Pansy Parkinson, Angel Marsters, and Maribeth Jenkins. These four girls were enemies and yet they seemed to have had a muggle pajama party.

They started eating and quickly finished. Isabelle had only eaten a piece of toast. Then the four slumped out of the Great Hall in the same fashion they'd entered. Once they left the rumors started going around that the Weasley twins had given them their newest invention whereas others just thought they'd gotten drunk and had hang overs, others simply didn't give a damn.

When the Slytherins returned to their common room to finish homework and study and such they found Isabelle snoozing on the couch, Angel in a fetal position on a chair, Pansy was laying on the (now broken to pieces) chess board. Meribeth was sleeping on the stairs with her head on the last step with a pillow and her feet about 5 steps up. Draco had Crabbe and Goyle help him carry the girls up to their beds. Then they went down to fix the chess board.



An hour later Draco had completed the chess board's reconstruction and gotten everything in working order. Isabelle and Meribeth came downstairs scowling at one another. Two seconds later Angel threw Pansy down the stairs. Now they were all in proper clothes and all looking quite perturbed. All Slytherins backed up to watch the fight.

"You did that to us, do you realize that we made idiots out of ourselves in front of the entire school! I'm going to kill you!" Angel screamed as she charged at Pansy who was trying to stand up but was only to be helped by Isabelle. Meribeth stopped Angel saying something along the lines of, "Don't make it quick she has to suffer."

Isabelle threw her not so nicely onto the couch she'd been sleeping on. "I cannot believe you Pansy. I thought you really meant what you said last night about not wanting any of us to fight anymore. You said we could all rule the school even better if we didn't have to worry about each other. I can't believe I believed you!"

"What the hell did you give to us anyways?" Meribeth asked as she pointed her wand at Pansy. Draco got the distinct impression that Pansy had done something rather bitchy again. Then they heard a scream from upstairs. The fourth year student came running down from the Girls dorm crying as she held up her dress robes.

"My beautiful silver robe is puce! WHO DID THIS!" The girl yelled, Pansy paled. She'd done a few spells last night so she couldn't be sure what she did after she'd downed the second butter bear. The rest of the girls who were going to the ball ran upstairs to check their dress robes and 50 or more screams could be heard as they all ran downstairs carrying puce dress robes.

"What in the bloody hell is going on in here?" Snape yelled as he entered the common room. He stared ate the four girls who'd caused such a scene at breakfast and then all the girls with their ugly dress robes.

"Pansy turned all the girls dress robes some really ugly color and she cast unauthorized spells last night which caused the four to make the scene." some 4th year boy said. 'Brilliant deduction you git.' Draco thought to himself

"Pansy is this true?" Snape said in barely hidden contempt. He really disliked the little trouble maker and she had totally disgraced their house that morning at breakfast and if she'd caused that.... he'd be forced to let her parents know and luckily get her transferred!

"No- Yes- I - I guess, I am not sure Professor Snape, sir. I took one of my mother's sleeping pills last night and now I don't remember a thing." Pansy said quietly

"Pansy, Isabelle, Angel, and Meribeth you all have detention tomorrow night and you get to clean up after the ball without magic." Snape turned and left leaving the girls to whine about their dresses. It took Pansy nearly three hours before she figured out how the reverse the thing whole big problem with the puce dress robes.

After lunch, all the girls from every house ran to their dorms even though they had hours to get ready for the ball. Hours of preparation were necessary though, they are girls you know. So everybody left to get ready except the guys. The Raven Claw guys and the Slytherin guys were talking about the girls in their respective years and who they were going with and then they talked of Quidditch. The Gryffindor team went outside to play Quidditch while the rest of the guys followed them out. They were followed by the Hufflepuff boys who wanted to play for fun.

All the girls had gotten ready and were now helping each other (all problems forgetten for the moment as they all shared a mutual feeling of excitement and joy) look great for the ball. Even the worst of enemies were helping with the other's hair and make up. Isabelle and Meribeth had just finished turned Angel's nasty hair into beautiful brown and black ringlets that fell systematically from a loose bun on the top of Angel's head. Angel then started working on Meribeth's hair. Maribeth had decided to make a net with the tiny pony tails on her head but Angel talked her into a french Braid.

Isabelle looked all over and could not find Pansy anywhere. Pansy had been talking for a month about how she'd make Draco speechless at the first ball and win him back with her beauty. Izzy just couldn't wait to see just what Pansy looked like, modify her look a bit if necessary and then see just how Draco reacted. She still couldn't find Pansy in the common room and none of her 'friends' or usual crowd knew where she was.

Isabelle went up to the 5th year dorms and heard muffled sobbing. She just knew in her little Mary Sue-ish mind that it was Pansy and she had to go save the world by finding out why Pansy was wasting precious time crying instead of showing Mary Sue just how perfect she really was. But Mary Sue... er... Isabelle went to the bathroom where the sounds were coming from and found the door to be locked. She knocked and Pansy still didn't let her in. So she decided to open it herself, "Aromahola," And there was a satisfying click that the perfect angel knew was going to come because every spell she did was always ever so perfect.

Isabelle looked pitifully and Pansy's swollen ,red ,and tear streaked face as she sat on the bathroom floor in her nightgown, "Pansy dear, I know we are enemies and all but seeing as how I am perfect at everything I'm just going to use my wonderfully excelled divination skills to guess why you're upset." Isabelle shut her eyes and scrunched her face up so she looked like a chipmunk (or if you watch Roswell: like how Tess looks when she's mind warping somebody). Then with a satisfied and beaming smile she boasted, "I knew it! You don't have a date and your dress robes are ugly so you don't want to be seen in public!"

Pansy nodded miserably. Isabelle just grinned, "That's okay we can use my ever so perfect magic to help you! Accio robes de pansy." Isabelle smiled broadly still as Pansy's robes showed up, "Put those on." Pansy frowned at the regular work robes and frowned. She for some reason listened to the perfectly perfect girl in front of her saying to herself 'well she's perfect so what could possibly go wrong!'

Once Pansy put on her robes Isabelle kept her wand pointed at Pansy, "Decorata!" And perfectly mixed black and green sparks fluttered out of the wand and danced around Pansy. The spell was originally just to turn her robes into dress robes, which it did by making the sleeves a transperant and shiny emerald green color and the body a lovely black. But the perfectly perfect caster altered the spell ever so wonderfully so it'd do pansy's hair and make up in the Slytherin colors as well. Pansy's hair was put into a braid that was made to look like a serpent and she had black and green glitter in her hair, her eyeshadow was a light green and her eyeliner and mascara were of course black. Pansy looked like a Slytherin Princess.

"Now my dearest enemy friend person we have to go down into the common room and stun everyone with our beauty and excellence so they will all bow before us and I can take over the world." Isabelle positively gleamed and Pansy just stared at her, "Um... you can be my..... Fashion general!" And Pansy smiled as happily as Isabelle and they went downstairs. Even though only minutes had passed for those of you reading this and for the two girls, it'd been an hour for the rest of the school. The girls were now all done and the guys had just finished getting ready so they started to pair off and head down.

That was until Isabelle and Pansy came down stairs. Everybody stared at them and all the guys left their dates to throw themselves at Isabelle's perfectly pedicured feet. She was wearing open toed shoes so she could yet again flaunt her perfection. "I know you all love me but I'm taken by Draco for forever. My second in command and closest friend is open though. Now I, the most popular girl in all of Hogwarts and future ruler of the universe, must take my leave. Draco darling over here!" She went over to him and they went downstairs. Pansy the pug-faced model followed after them a minute later but she was being carried by several worshipers because she was affiliated with the most perfect girl ion the entire world!

The dance lasted until Isabelle got bored with it and had Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle stop their good times just to carry her upstairs. Then, seconds later, everybody else got bored and decided to leave too now that their Goddess was no longer among them. Pansy was carried to the common room also but she had not had as grand of an exit as Isabelle had gotten though. And that is the end of the night at the Yule Ball.
