Hopelessly Romantic

Chapter 9

This was it. The night of the dance. Domino Treeia and Lupa all had offered to help Andi get ready. Domino, who had apologized a week earlier, was doing Andi's hair. Lupa had learned how to do hair as well and was doing Treeia's hair. Kate was doing Makeup.

Nokia had snuck into the common room and was teaching the guys how to dance. Even Professor McGonagal was excited about tonight. Fred had prolonged his birthday for tonight.

Andi picked up a small wrapped up box. She smiled as she put it into her little hand purse. Then, with all the girls approval, she left for the common room. "Hey babe." Said Fred wrapping an arm around Andi's tiny waist. Andi looked at him. "BABE?" Fred gave her a sheepish smile. "Sorry, I've always wanted to do that." Andi looked around as couples started to leave. "Lets go." Andi said to Fred, and the two left the common room.

The great hall was filled with TONS of people. All the girls looked different, from their robes to their hair, they looked good. But while they looked good, the guys sat around, drinking butter beer.

While people were normally dancing, George decided that he wanted to break dance. So he did so. Suprisingly enough, Snape and McGonagal were dancing. Dumbledore was dancing with Madam Hooch. Ghosts were flying in and out, talking with students and trying to play tricks while Dumbledore was in the room. Dumbledore stopped Dancing and walked to the front of the room, and put both hands in the air.

"I would like to encourage you to sign up for the Chareokee. I am." He smiled and sat down. Fred smiled at Andi and then said. "I'm singing us up." Then he ran for the sheet. Andi stood up in horror. "NO!" she shouted. She tried to hold onto a chair to keep from fainting.

Domino elbowed her. "I have a spell that can make you sing like that American Muggle Brittney." Andi took a sip of butterbeer and sat down. She watched as Lupa started to sing. "She's really good." Andi noted. Domino nodded. "She used the spell." Andi turned to Fred. "Are you singing too?" She asked. He nodded and Andi turned back to Domino. "Give us BOTH the spell."

Domino put the spell on both of them. And when she was done, it was their turn up.

As Andi slowly walked onto the stage her tummy was churning. She looked at the song she had to sing. She gasped and spun around to Fred. "YOU PICKED THE BARNEY THE DINOSAUR THEME?" She hissed. He nodded sheepishly. She turned around to sing when the doors slammed open and a lady who had hidden her eyes walked in.

Dumbledore stood up. "Can I help you?" He asked her. Andi gulped. Treeia fainted. Nokia jumped onto the table.

The unknown lady grunted, then pointed to Andi. "I came for her." She said. Her voice was soft and gentle, but it was creepy. Dumbledore turned to Andi. "You must go." He told her. Andi shook her head. "NO." She said loudly and flatly. Dumbledore's eyes widened. Kate jumped onto the table next to Nokia.

"Don't you know who this is?" She asked. Andi shook her head. " This is Rowinda. She takes one each year. One, or we shall be destroyed. GO." Kate said. "GO." Andi shot Fred a look. Rowinda slowly walked forward. She stepped onto the stage and held out her hands. "Come." She said. Andi stepped back and shook her head. "NO."

Suddenly Andi felt someone jump form behind her, Andi Andi's world turned black.
