The Halloween Dance was just around the corner and perhaps; most of the students have their own respective partners. As for me, Draco just arranged a sort of blind date.

"Am I hearing right? A pure blood speaking a term only Muggles know?" Teased Dita. Truly, Draco is a pure blood, or a wizard without the slightest blood of a Muggle in his veins but then, that doesn't stop him from knowing about how Muggles live without magic.

He shrugged. "Well, I'm just trying to help."

"Don't worry, we'll be fine with or without your help." I reassured. "And we'd be going to the dance with or without partners."

"No way!" Pansy snapped. "I will never go to the Dance without a partner. I'd die with shame, in case you ask me."

Dita smirked at her. "Count me out, Draco. I won't afford having a date on that day. Besides, Sakura and I have some important business unfinished." She looked at me as if giving me a hint.

"Do we?" I felt a jab by my ribs. "Oh, yeah! I remember now." I glared at the brown haired girl sitting beside me and was smiling innocently.

"Good, then we'd better get some sleep. It's twelve midnight! Oyasumi!!!!!" She said hurriedly and pulled me towards the dorm.

"Naze desu ka?" I asked, stopping in the middle of the staircase. My wrist hurt from her grip.

"I just want to end the discussion and stay our of the blind date scheme. Besides I'm feeling sleepy and I also know you are."

Dita was right, I was feeling sleepy since Draco called us at half past eleven just because of the stupid blind date.

We walked up the rest of the stairs, keeping silent. And finally, I was lying on my green and silver covered bed and slept through with ease.

"You were taking my job. My job is waking Sakura-chan up in the morning!" The usual morning disagreement started between Kero-chan and Dita-chan.

"Well, it's not my fault since I wake up earlier than you!" She argued back, hitting Kero with a small pillow. Trying to stop those tow would just bring you in the middle of their 'childish' fights.

"Unfair!" Kero screamed back, hurling a pillow with his small paws. How? I don't know.

"Meowr?" Suppi purred, watching the two angry figures throwing and hitting each other with pillows… or anything they could find.

Pansy Parkinson and Millicent Bullstrode (Millie for short) just sat and watched amusingly. They seemed quite entertained with the small battle the false guardian and the girl were making.

"You never could see the real art of waking a person up!" Spat the ever cute but now angry stuffed toy.

Art? Kero wouldn't define art even if it jumped out and bit his nose (?!?). I remembered the trip to the museum when Tomoyo-chan and I were both looking for a certain thing. We had to enter the museum at night and we must never make noise of else we'll be back to square one.

We were held back, mostly because of Kero. First, he was taunting one of the paintings by Picasso, laughing and telling us that he could do better. Then next was when he was munching on some potato chips. And lastly, because of the beeping of Tomoyo's video camera, signaling that the battery was low. There were more distractions, however, I forgot about the rest. Finally, before midnight, I got the Book of Silence (Talk about originality…)

We spent half an hour dragging both of them to the Great Hall, where they finally calmed down. Pansy seemed quite relieved about that. As Kero sat down he 'morphed' in his eating mode and glomped down every food he saw on the table, especially the sweets.

"You have to chew." I told Kero as he stuffed a piece of chicken leg on his small mouth. Sometimes, watching him eat makes me wonder, 'Where does he keep all of those food after?'.

"Shi (munch) te (chomp) i (munch) masu!" [Shitte imasu – I know] He replied in between munches, still filling his small mouth with all the food beyond reach. Good thing the house elves don't complain about his eating.

"Sakura-chan! Dita-chan! Where were you? I was looking for you all morning!" Aida explained after greeting me good morning.

"Gomen nasai, Aida-chan." I apologized, bowing at her. "Kero-chan and Dita just had the usual morning disagreement." I explained taking a seat beside Tomoyo who was busily doing her homework.

She looked up and greeted me. "No assignments?" She asked.

"I did mine last night."

"Hora! An owl from haha!" Dita came running towards our direction, holding a piece of envelope.

She quickly sat down and opened the envelope. I felt jealous for she still had her mother with her and their family is complete. Unlike me, my mother died when I was three and what were left of our family were my dad, Touya and I. Sometimes I feel bad about talking about my mother death, but I guess…

"Dita! Sakura!" My cousin called, disrupting my thoughts. I turned around and found the blond boy heading to our direction. He had the same goofy smile as list night and I could feel he likes someone… like Aizuki Dita, I suppose. "So what, are you taking my invitation?"

From her reading position, Dita lifted her head up just to answer. "Nope, whatever you say we won't join the blind date scheme you're talking about."

"Meow!" Suppi purred. From her action, I almost felt that she agreed with my friend's statement.

"Daidouji? Ikusawa? Pansy? Millicent?" He asked. Sometimes this cousin of mine can be that annoying. It seems that he is planning something aside from just a plain date. Fortunately, they disagreed and he left our small group, for that time at least.

"He'll be coming asking about that blind date thing." I explained. "Sometimes he's just so persistent."

"And rude." Tomoyo added. "Yesterday, she actually called Hermione a mudblood."

"Mudblood?" Dita, Aida and I asked at the same time. "What does that mean?"

The raven-haired girl shrugged and continued writing on her parchment. "I don't know it just sounds rude."

I watched Tomoyo think and write then think and write again. For the past few weeks, I felt like she was a different Tomoyo Daidouji. Somehow talking to her makes you feel unsure and doubtful, unlike before, I felt reassured when we were talking about anything under the sun. Is it me or is it that Tomoyo really changed from her warm self to a new cold personality.

"Hi again!" Draco greeted for the second time that afternoon.

Without bothering to hear another word he'll say, Dita spoke up. "Let me guess, you want us to agree in having blind dates for the Halloween Dance. Well, here's our answer… NO!"

"Actually, that's not it, but it's about the Halloween Dance. Someone is asking if he can invite any of you to the dance."

"Is that another of your really stupid ideas to get us to join?"

"It's not the blind date, anyway I lost the bet with Junta who said that you girls won't join the list. So then, someone was asking me if…"

"So you're actually telling us that if we agreed we are actually playing a part of your stupid challenge with Ohgami-kun?"

"Well, yeah, so as I was saying…"

"So it was only a game and you're using us as players whom you think you can control?"

This wasn't good. Dita seemed to loose her temper because of Draco said. As for me, I think Dita is partially right that it's quite senseless to just deceive us, but then Draco can be somewhat correct at some point.

"Oh, look at the time! Aida, remember we had to borrow one of those library books for Muggle Studies?" I lied, pulling the confused girl along. Luckily, she played along.
