Chapter 11: The Yule Ball/Surprise Guests with Surprise Tricks

The next Hogsmeade trip was a blast, Hermione persuaded Draco to come, Harry brought Ginny, and so he didn't feel left out, Ron asked Parvarti to spend the afternoon with them. The boys retreated to a Quidditch shop, well Harry and Ron did, Draco shook them off to go to "Princess Andrea's Jewelers" (a/n My special thanks to Prof. Cortex and Prof. Hullabub!!! No offense Cortex!) . The girls went to get new dress robes (dresses really, but I'll stick to the book).

They all met at the new Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, talked to Fred and George, who said they had a new product or two coming out soon and the ball would be "entertaining", then went to the 3 Broomsticks for Butterbeer. While waiting for drinks, Hermione and Draco left for a quick snogging session, which was originally a conversation about what they were getting each other for Christmas. Upon returning (with drinks), it was Harry's and Ginny's turn to leave the table for a "gift discussion". After that, they went back to the castle.

~ Day of the Yule Ball ~

For the second time this year, the school was acting hyper. The staff had decorated around the castle and the afternoon classes were canceled. Everyone (years 4 and up) was extremely happy with the ball in the evening, and (for everyone in general) Christmas tomorrow. Draco was extremely happy too. Hermione questioned his behavior when they were outside to watch a snowball fight. "You weren't this happy at the Halloween Ball, why are you now?

He took out a piece of parchment from his cloak. "This is why." He handed it to her.

It was an article from yesterday's Daily Prophet.

DEATH EATER CAPTURED

At a recent raid of Malfoy Manor, the Ministry managed to apprehend Lucius Malfoy one night. A Mr. Arthur Weasley led the raid with a group of Aurors. Mr. Weasley said, "Fudge wouldn't do a damn thing, so I did it myself." They accomplished this by using several anti-apparation charms around the area then raided it while Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy were having dinner.

When asked about where the information regarding Mr. Malfoy, he said Albus Dumbledore received it from an anonymous source.

Numerous Dark Arts equipment was confiscated along with Malfoy.

His wife, Narcissa Malfoy was unable to comment on this event. Lucius has been taken to Azkaban and will stay there for life.

When Hermione finished she smiled and squealed, "Oooh! See! Now he's in Azkaban and won't hurt anyone! You did the right thing! I love you so much!" she hugged him and then kissed him.

A snowball hit the couple and they sprung apart. "Hey! What the heck was that! I was having fun!" Draco yelled out.

"Get a room you two!" Harry called.

"Just jealous Potter! Don't have the guts to snog your girlfriend in public!"

Harry dropped the pile of snow he that was in his hands and went over to Ginny. She blushed as he kissed her. "Ew! Ick! I'm scarred for life! Quit with the snogfest people!" yelled Ron, shielding his eyes as Harry kissed his sister.

They laughed and went back to the castle at six to get ready for the ball at eight. Hermione went to Ginny's room to get ready. There they did all the works: makeup, hair, and any extras. They finally finished with the dress and Hermione looked stunning. Her dress was a crimson red that went to her knees. It had an array of gold fluff/fringe (whatever you wanna call it), on the skirt bottom. The sleeves were long (past her wrist, almost past her hands) with a bell cuff (like monks). Those had an intricate design in gold that went from around the cuffs to her elbow. The neckline was a V-neck and was gold trimmed.

Ginny put Hermione's hair on the top of her head, and left a few carefully placed wisps of hair down, framing her face. Her eye makeup was silver and her lips tainted silver. Her cheeks were a rosy colour.

When done, she looked like a Christmas Princess. She finally put on the same shoes she wore to the Halloween Ball, but magically turned them gold instead of white. She looked at herself in the mirror again while waiting for Ginny to get ready. When she came out, Parvarti and Lavender walked in. They gasped at Ginny and Hermione, then starting "oh-ing" and "ah-ing". "Hermione that dress is marvelous!" squealed Parvarti, "I news you'd look fabulous when we saw it at Gladrags!"

"Totally! Ginny, you're stunning!" Lavender cooed.

Ginny was wearing straight, light blue robes with a high neck. Her hair was down, and had bouncy curls.

"I'd better get going, Draco's probably wondering where I am. And I have extra stuff to do." Said Hermione, heading for the door. "You're going with Draco! Like Slytherin, bad-boy Draco?" said Lavender.

"Unless he has a twin, then yeah." Hermione sighed. "I thought this would happen." She thought.

"Since when have you been like going out!" Lavender squealed.

Hermione rolled her eyes. "A month and a half. Is twenty-questions done yet?"

"Just one more!" Parvarti said. She looked at Lavender (like reading her thoughts). "How does he kiss!" the two girls giggled uncontrollably.

"No comment." Hermione grinned and quickly left before they asked another ridiculous question.

One back in her room, she took out her wand and pointed the tip a few inches from her eyes. She said:

"With flick of wand I wish to see,

Every mood there is in me"

Her eyes glowed yellow before becoming normal hazel again. She looked in the mirror again before it commented, "Lovely dah-ling!" She smiled and slowly opened to door.

~ Draco's POV~ 20 minutes before ~

I was staring into the fire in the Slytherin Common Room. Soon enough Pansy comes and looms in front of me. "Hi dear!"

"Hi." I took up my trademark drawl once again.

"Who're you going to the Ball with?"

"Not you."

"With who?" she leered in closer.

"Not you." I repeated. I was surrounded by chimps! I got fed up and went back to my room. I heard her yelp in pain as she tried to open the door from the other side. "Ha! Stupid girl thinking she can come barging into my room. Idiot chimp!" I thought.

I looked at the clock. "Damn! I only have 15 minutes until I get Hermione!" I leapt to the shower and took a quick one. I pulled on my black robes with silver Celtic trimming and combed my hair. Lastly I sprayed on some cologne and looked in the mirror. "Stunning dear! Fabulous!" It said in a stuck up voice, one to rival my father's. I smirked and went out into the common room.

I didn't have to wait long because soon enough, Hermione's door opened. For the second time this year, I was stunned, and my jaw opened slightly. She looked like a Christmas Angel (a/n I know I already said something like this.) Her dress was lovely, red and gold, (How Gryffindor), and it was…short. Right around her knees, the sleeves made her arms look thinner (not like they needed to be), and a low neckline, exposing her loong neck. And her hair added to that, wisps of it, framing her face and neck. When she turned to close the door, the dress fanned out.

~ Hermione's POV ~

I saw him just gawking at me. I quickly turned to close the door, but it was also to stop my face from blushing. He looked so handsome. His robes emphasized his hair and eyes, making them even more piercing.

He walked up to me and took my hand. The long sleeve fell down to halfway to my elbow. He kissed it gentlemanly. I blushed and giggled like a silly schoolgirl. Who knew bookish-old-me could be reduced to a giggly girl at a simple gesture? He said to me, "You look beautiful my dear." And once again, I am reduced to a mush of girliness, I giggle. Oh damn these hormones. He offered his arm, I took it and we left our room.

Once outside, he looked at the dragon guarding our rooms. It had a Santa hat on its head. Draco looked at it in disgust. "How can they suddenly make a mockery of a dragon like that! It's like when Diggory tried to fool it with a rock-dog in fourth year!"

I ignored his last comment. "It makes it look cute. Just like another dragon I know." (a/n Total corniness I know.) I looked up at him. He grinned and we continued to walk.

Once in the Great Hall we sat at a fairy-lit table with Harry, Ron, Ginny and Parvarti. We greeted each other and received menus from a house elf wearing a Santa Hat. I read 'Spaghetti and Meatballs' and had a sudden vision of the Disney Movie "Lady and the Tramp" at the scene where the dogs kiss when eating spaghetti. I grinned at my childishness. "What's so funny?" Draco asked.

"Nothing. It's just that this is the night, a most beautiful night." I quoted part of the song from that movie too (although slightly altered).

"And you darling, are a most beautiful sight." He whispered.

Thank goodness for the dim lighting. My face was beginning to heat up. We all ate together, talking and cracked some jokes. (~ Normal POV ~) At nine o'clock Dumbledore called for silence and magicked the bank platform. Four witches, who called themselves the Spell Casters, came on the stage. They wore similar artfully torn robes as the Weird Sisters wore. Instead the robes were shimmering silver and they resembled human disco balls. They struck up a slow waltz and Draco pulled Hermione to her feet. "Care to dance milady?" he bowed.

"Why yes kind sir." She followed him onto the dance floor.

They waltzed together. "I didn't know you knew how to waltz." Draco said.

"You never asked. You didn't think you were the only one who knew how to ballroom dance?"

He grinned and continued to twirl her around occasionally on the dance floor. When the song ended, they sat down and laughed. "So what other dances can you do?" Hermione asked.

"Every type of formal dance, it's a requirement for all us upper-class-men to dance at formal occasions, I can also do some Latin dance-"

"Like the tango?"

"Yeah, that too. Why can you?"

"Yup!" she said proudly, "When I was a kid, I thought it looked fun to I took classes. That's the same with waltzing and ballet."

"You're a ballerina? So you have the little, mini tutu…"

She punched his shoulder. "I have a regular skirt thank you very much!"

They laughed. The Spell Casters suddenly struck up a Latin tune. The couple grinned wickedly at each other. "Would you tango with me senörita?"

"Çi senör!"

Draco magicked a rose and stuck it in his teeth. Together they tangoed together, laughing occasionally at their own antics, and the confused, yet amused, faces around them. Pansy was infuriated and crossed her arms across her chest. Her partner, Goyle, was looking confused…as always. Ron, Harry and Ginny were laughing, and Parvarti and Lavender were sighing, and saying things lie, "How sweet!" and "How romantic!"

When the song ended, Draco twirled Hermione, her skirt finned and spun with her. Then he dipped her, taking the rose form his mouth and put it behind her ear. Her eyes were glowing yellow and gold, and she was flushed from dancing. He pulled her up and kissed her hand. She flushed even deeper. Everyone cheered and applauded loudly at them.

When they were going to sit, Hermione said, "That was fun! I'll get more punch."

"Sure you don't want help?"

"I'm a big girl Draco, I think I can refill two goblets on my own!" she smiled and left for the refreshments table.

Minutes after she left, Pansy rushed up to Draco and sat, with a leg on either side of him, and leaned in. "So Draco, you didn't want to go to the Ball with me, so you brought that instead!"

"Yeah that's about right." He drawled angrily, "That and she's my girlfriend, so don't say anything about her or else." His eyes flashed dangerously.

"Just because your father is in Azkaban, doesn't mean that mine is too. I can get him to tell Voldemort that a Malfoy is dating a Mudblood!"

He tried to push her off, but she gripped the back of the chair like an anchor. "Whatever Parkinson. And please, before you say any other ridiculous things, please tell me you are wearing a bra now." The memory of her comment at the Halloween Ball was all too familiar.

She smiled slyly, and whispered seductively, "Wouldn't you like to know…"

~ Refreshment Table ~ 5 minutes before ~

Hermione walked to the refreshment table and when she got there, she saw two balls of fire, sticking from under the table. But the red balls looked too familiar. "Fred? George? Is that you?"

Two people leapt up and grinned, "Hermione! Nice to see you!" Fred beamed.

"Splendid! Why were you dancing with Malfoy?" George asked.

"Nice to see you too. Draco's my boyfriend." She smiled.

"If he's your boyfriend, why is Parkinson sitting on him?" Fred asked, looking over her shoulder.

She whipped around and saw Pansy sitting on Draco, arms around him.. Her eyes glowed green. "Oh I'll get her!" she said.

"No let us!" Fred and George looked at each other and nodded. They grabbed a goblet of punch, whispered something into it and handed it to Hermione. "Make sure she drinks it." Fred said.

"Normally, we'd give it to Malfoy, but seeing as you two are an item, this is for her." George said knowingly.

Hermione didn't like it. It reminded her of the Canary Cream incident. "What is it?"

"You'll find out. And here's some punch for you and Malfoy." George handed her two more goblets.

She thanked them and carefully walked back to her table. When she got there, she found Pansy sitting on Draco, a leg on either side of him. Her eyes glowed green again, then flashed red. She tapped her foot loudly. She caught the words, "Wouldn't you like to know?" She couldn't take it anymore. "Ahem!" she cleared her throat loudly.

Pansy screamed and jumped off Draco.. "Hermione! You're here! This isn't what it seems! I swear!" Draco insisted.

"Um hum. Here's your drink. I got one for you too Pansy. I haven't hexed it, no wand, see." She noticed Pansy eyeing the goblet suspiciously. "Fred and George hexed it, not me." She thought. Draco was equally confused as Pansy.

Pansy took the goblet and took a drink. Seconds later, her pink dress was getting darker…bluer. Slowly, her entire body went royal blue! Her skin and everything! She expanded to the size of an extremely large beachball. Draco was drinking his drink, and then spit it all out at the sight of her. He laughed uncontrollably.

From the crowd, little dwarves in Santa Hats, orange faces, and green, Swiss-looking, costumes, skipped out, and sang in deep, gruff voices:

"Oompa, loompa, doo pedee doo,

You're a witch with a B

Yup, that's you!

Oompa loompa doo pedee dee,

Don't steal Draco from Hermione!"

Hermione was doubled over in laughter when Pansy screamed. The dwarves started to roll her round body out of the Great Hall. Harry, Ron and Ginny came back and saw the scene. Then they were laughing in hysterics! The Weasley twins ran over and said loudly, "Colour Curse Powder! Only at Weasley's Wizard Wheezes! 10 sickels per packet! Get em while they're hot! Brand new! Dwarves at request only!" The laughter eventually died down, and Hermione sat on Draco's lap, her eyes yellow with happiness.

"What did you do!" he asked.

"Fred and George told me to give it to her, so I did! That was fun wasn't it!" she burst into giggles.

"You bad, bad, girl." He teased.

"Yup that's me! And this bad girl wants to dance. C'mon!" she led him to the dance floor.

They danced for the rest of the night until it was time to go.

~ Hospital Wing ~

Pansy was lying in a bed in the Hospital Wing. She was no longer blue and round. Her eyes were red form crying. She had been utterly humiliated! Her hair was messed from being rolled by the demon dwarves, and her face was also swollen. "Oh you think you've gotten the last laugh Granger. I'll show you not to mess with a Parkinson! First you steal my Draco, now you go and make me a total fool in front of every 4th year and up! I'll get you back even if it's the last thing I do! Stupid, worthless, mudblood…" she grumbled to herself. Then she laughed maniacally, while her eyes had a wicked glint. Her puggy little nose was still blue, and still huge.

~ End of Chapter 11 ~

A/N. That was the end of Chapter 11! How was it? I loved writing that! It was so funny! Thanks to Prof. Hullabub for some of the ideas! What Pansy said was utterly important to later chapters. I think the next one is pretty important too. And the plot will thicken! Truly, truly thicken! Sorry if this was a little late, I've been busy with basketball practices and games.

Porkypop: Thanks for you MANY reviews! I luved em! How did you like 11? Funny? Not? Somewhat good?

Sexy TOMMIE BOY: I agree! Tom Felton is a total babe! I won't let you die without my fics! Lol. Thanks!

Fire Goddess: Yeah it was a bit OOC, but one who's part? Harry's or Ron's…or both?! Yeah I'm making everything all suspense-filled!

Viverz: Lol, yeah I kept you waiting! All the suspense was killing you! Well Harry and Ron noticed something, the whole "bumping" into each other thing. Totally sucks having the teachers know who you like, that just…queer.

I'll get cracking on my chapter 12 ASAP! READ AND REVIEW ALL MY LUVLIES! MUAH! MUAH!
