The month of September came and went very quickly and before anyone knew
it, The Halloween feast was a couple days away. This year, however,
Dumbledoor decided that there would be a Halloween Ball and that everyone
who wanted to go had to have a date.
Naturally, Meri asked Cri and she said
"Oh. Sure."
Meri had been asked to the ball many times by girls in their first year,
second year, and even girls in their third year. He had turned them all
down because he had developed a thing for Cri.
Cri on the other hand, had been asked to the dance by boys all the way up
into their fifth year.
She was excited to go with Meri but she had no idea what she would wear. So
decided she would send an owl to her mother to ask for a dress. She wrote:
Dear mother, I love and miss you and dad. Tell everyone I said hi. I'm really writing to ask a favor. Please buy me a dress. The Halloween Ball is in five days and I've been asked by Meriximus. You know my taste in dresses. Thanks.
Love, Cri
She finished her letter and gave it to Helios, her owl.
Within two days, Helios flew back into her window carrying a very large package. She quickly opened it. The dress was deep crimson and very long. It was just her size and when she showed it to Isis, she was green with envy. "Oh my. Cri you'll look fabulous in that dress! Meri will be so pleased!" Isis told her. Cri blushed and hung the dress in her closet.
On the day of the Ball, She woke at noon and took a shower. The ball was to be at 6'o clock and she was to be meeting Meri at 5:55. Cri painted her long nails black and let them dry. Isis walked into the dorm. She released a long sigh. "I don't know what I'm going to do with my hair" Isis said. She had short black hair and bright green eyes. Her hair had a hint of dark red. "Well we can tie it in a glamorous knot." Cri reasoned. "Sounds good. Can you help me then?" Isis asked. Cri agreed to help her and they started getting ready. Cri curled her long thigh length black hair and let it hang. She helped Isis with her Hair and make-up and helped her with her dress. Isis' dress was long and Black and with her hair and make-up, she looked beautiful. Cri then finished her dressing and put on make-up and her high heels. Soon Isis and Cri left to meet their dates. Isis had been asked by a third year Ravenclaw name Zinnaden Meride with bright blue eyes and white-blond hair. Cri and Isis went to the Common Room where Meri was waiting for Cri. "I'll see you at the ball Cri!" Isis told Cri. They then left for the Great Hall.
When they got there they found the hall was decorated in a kind of eerie but medieval-gothic fashion. Students where finding tables, and Meri, Cri, Isis and Zinnaden seated themselves together. The hall quieted at Professor Dumbledoor stood. "Happy Halloween students! Dance, Eat and be Merry!" He finished and sat down. Meri took Cri's Hand and handed her a rose with a golden bow tied around it. She smiled and hugged him. Cri looked around and saw Professor Kolfero dancing with Professor Mcgonagal. She looked absolutely pleased and was beaming. Isis and Zinnaden got up and started dancing. On the other side of the hall, Mercurin, Cri's other roommate, was dancing with a red-haired boy. Meri looked at Cri and said, "Can I have this dance? "Cri smiled and gave her his hand. When they got on the dance floor, Cri was pleased to learn that Meri was an excellent dancer. They executed a perfect dance and everyone in the hall stopped to watch. They looked so perfect together and they didn't even notice that everyone, including the teachers, where watching the dance. They were in tune with each other's footsteps. Cri had finally developed a thing for Meri too. When the song was over, Cri was surprised to see everyone applauding. She smiled and Meri led her out of the hall and into the courtyard. There they sat talking until the dance was over. They walked to the portrait of the fat lady and said the password "Merlin's Beard." Said Meri. The Portrait swung open and they entered. The Common room was empty. "I had a lovely time, Meriximus." Said Cri. She bent over and kissed him on the cheek and walked up to her dorm.
When she got to her dorm, Isis was waiting for her. "You two were made for each other. That dance was perfect! Where did you guys go after that?" Isis said. Cri didn't respond. Instead she took off her dress, took a hot shower, slipped into her pajamas and went to sleep.
Dear mother, I love and miss you and dad. Tell everyone I said hi. I'm really writing to ask a favor. Please buy me a dress. The Halloween Ball is in five days and I've been asked by Meriximus. You know my taste in dresses. Thanks.
