Disclaimer: I apologize if this has any part of this reminds you of anything else.
We read too many books, comic books, and watch too many cartoons, so deal! Then
again if you see the connections, you probably do too, so there! Oh, yeah we don't own
any of the Harry Potter Characters.

The Great Hall was so magnificent that they could hardly recognize it. Bats flew
around the hall, landing on gigantic bright orange pumpkins. Starched white skeletons
moved through the crowd dancing to the live band Dumbledore had gotten.

Renee's eyes lit up as she watched the skeletons mingle with the crowd. Suddenly
she turned toward Sharon with a mischievous look on her face.

"Hey Sharon, who is Potter going to this shin-dig with?"

"The rest of the Dream Team I imagine. Why?"

"Darn Gryffies, they always move in threes. No matter though."

"What are you planning?"

"See those really cool dancing skeletons?"

"Yeah…."

"Well, I was thinking," Renee said while Sharon snickered, "That we could
accidentally charm one of the skeletons, maybe all the skeletons into harassing Potter!
And the bats too. What do you think?"

Sharon glanced at Professor Flitwick and McGonnagal, "I think that the charms
would be too powerful. But I have an Exploding Card, that we can put in his drink."

"Eh, okay that works too," Renee said.

"Want me to distract him, while you put it in?" She said, handing her a card.

"Sure. How do you use it?"

"Just tap it with your wand after you put it in. The card will do the rest."

"Okay! Well, hey look he's at the snack table. Is he wearing tights?"

"Green tights. Oh la la la, what pretty legs he has." The two girls snickered loudly
as they went over to greet their dear friend Harry.

"So, Harry how's it going," Sharon asked politely.

"What do you want?" he asked, sneering just a bit.

"Potter, Potter, I mean Harry, why so suspicious? Can't a girl be nice to a
classmate in a casual get together?"

"Obviously not," the suspicious little Gryfyndor replied.

"Harry, I'm shocked, shocked that you judge me just because of my
house. I thought you of all people would be a bigger person than that. I guess all the
people from other houses that say what a great guy you are were wrong."

Sharon saw Renee tap Harry's glass with her wand, and she pretended to stalk
away in anger.

Harry actually felt a little guilty. "She did have a point," he said to himself, as he
raised his glass to his lips.

BOOM!!!

When Sharon reached Renee the blonde looked surprisingly thoughtful, "Do you
think saying all that stuff to him them pulling that prank only enforces his point?"
Sharon regarded her friend for a moment.

"Yeah probably," she shrugged before joining the rest of the people of her house
in pointing and laughing at him.

Noah and Chad walked into the Great Hall just in time to see Harry Potter get a
big explosion in the face. The first reaction was a little bit of shock, then the massive urge
to suppress their own giggling.

In the corner of Chad's eye he saw an angel turning her back to him chatting
excitedly to another girl.

"Wow," he said to himself in a bit of a daze.

Noah turned to Chad with a strange look on his face. "You say something?"

"Huh? Nooo, why would you ask that?"

"What is it? Some cute blonde again?"

At Chad's hurt expression Noah just rolled his green eyes and said, "Oh boy."

The two turned as they heard one of their housemates stomp off into their
direction. They came face to face with a livid Harry Potter.

"Um, hey there Harry," Noah said/

"Were you supposed to be some sort of gay guy in green tights?" Chad asked.
Harry glared at Chad for a moment and then started laughing.

"I'm Robin Hood, you idiots!"

"Oh, so why the tights?" Chad asked.

He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Goes with territory. Besides I get these."

He pulled a bow from his back and readjusted the satchel of arrows on his back.

Noah raised his eyebrows a bit and said, "Hmm."

"What?" Harry asked.

"Well, I was just thinking, if you're Robin Hood, does that mean that you're
going to rob me and give my money to somebody?" Noah asked.

Harry looked at Noah's clothes and said with an extravagant bow, "Oh, how rude
of me, your Highness."

"Well, you being on my side than not. Of course if your not I could always have
Chad get you with that big knife he has."

"Don't you mean sword?"

Noah took his sword a little out of the hilt and said, "No, this is a sword."

Both of the brunettes laughed and then and a sneaking suspicion that under that
visor Chad was giving them both an indignant look.

"You here by yourself then?" Chad asked.

Harry cocked an eyebrow and said, "Trying to change the subject?"

"It was just a question."

"I could ask you the very same, my friend."

"And you'd get the same answer, no doubt," Noah said trying to break the inane
squabbling.


"Well as interesting as this is, I'm going to get punch," Chad said, walking away
from Harry.

Noah turned to Harry and said, "Clever quips always make Chad thirsty."

The two laughed again at Chad's expense.


~&~


"You know what though, his costume was kind of cool," Sharon said.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because of the bow and arrows."

"I didn't see them."

Sharon sighed and turned Renee around, facing Harry. "See them now? He's
showing them to the other two guys."

"Oh, yeah, I guess those are pretty cool. Oohhh, shinny!"

"What are you babbling about?" Sharon asked, skeptically.

"Shinny armor!"

Sharon looked at her friend in bewilderment. "Ookay… The prince is kind of cute
though."

"Now who's being all crazy?" Renee asked.

"I was simply admiring his accessories. Look at that big knife!"

"uh-huh. Sure, that's what you're looking at," Renee said in a disbelieving tone.

"Oh, look food," Sharon said as she pointed to the table filled with refreshments.

"Oooooooooohhhh, food!" Renee says in that dazed tone of voice, that blondes
occasionally get.

She wondered over to the snack table and quickly began piling various snacks on
to a plate. She turned to tell Sharon of all the interesting looking snacks that they had, but
found that Sharon was not there. She turned and looked beside her and found that she had
lost Sharon altogether.

Pansy came up to Renee and snickered loudly.

"Oh my gosh, Renee is that you? I hardly recognized you!" Pansy said.

Renee looked hopeful and said, "Really?"

Pansy laughed harshly and said, "No. I knew it was you the second I laid my eyes
on you."

Renee looked glum as Pansy continued her relentless assault, her last line was,
"I'll never let you live this down, and neither will anyone else in our house." Then she
walked away laughing as she went.

"Yeah, I'm sure you're precious Draco will listen to everything you have to say."

Pansy had an irritated look on her face as she said, "You know where… You
don't. Ahhh!" With that she stomped off joining the rest of her little friends from their
house.

Slightly irritated at Pansy for making comment on her costume, but more so
worried that more people would recognize her, she conjured up a mask Well, she ended
up picking up her plate with an attempt of transfiguring her plate into a mask that covers
her whole face. As at it was, it ended up being that it turned into a mask that covered her
eyes and turned to a light bluish color, that matched her dress.

"Wow, that worked out to my advantage," Renee muttered to herself as she put on
the mask.

Renee then again resumed her eating at a slower pace, mostly because of the mask
that was obstructing the way to her mouth.

Chad left Noah and Harry, and went to the snack table. He saw Pansy Parkinson
stomp off and smiled to himself. Perhaps for no paticular reason other than the fact that
he didn't like Pansy. He turned and saw that the girl he had been staring at earlier was
there, but now was wearing a mask. He walked up to her and gave her the smile that all
girls fall for only to realize that his visor was down.

"Hey there," Renee said.

"Hi," chad said in a lame attempt at a sexy voice.

"Is that all you can say? I thought knights were more articulate," she said with a
playful smile.

"You know what, my friend is the scholarly type, "Chad said while gesturing
toward Noah, before realizing that he had walked off in another direction, "But when I
came over here, I was so struck by your beauty I forgot to think."

"I think your first answer made more sense," Renee said. Renee got the distinct
impression that he was trying to smile.

"Can't blame a guy for trying, can you?"

~&~


Noticing that Chad had taken his hand at his sad attempt at flirting, Noah decided
to find someother way to amuse himself he thought about how bad Chad was at flirting
before he taught him how to flirt. It was at that moment that he noticed a rather striking
girl across the room. He decided that he had nothing better to do than to get better
aquantied with the girl he went over there. Little did he know he already was.

As he got closer to the girl, he saw that she was wearing a princess costume.
'How interesting,' he thought. He tapped her on the shoulder and said with a charming
smile,"Hello there."

The girl turned around and he stared at her in shock.

"Sharon?!"

"Noah."

"How, why ,what on earth are you wearing?"

Sharon sighed internally, but her paln was to scare and she probably couldn't
scare anyone more than him.

"I'm a princess," she said sweetly. She made an extravagant curtsy and glared at
him from her curtsy and said, "You know I would expect that a lady would be treated far
better from a nobleman."

He bowed and politely said, "M'lady. So, what happened Sharon? Lose a bet?"

Sharon gave him an indignant look and said, "I'm not even going to dignify that
with a response."

"Ah, so you did lose a bet. With who? Oh, let me guess, Pansy Parkinson. I have
to thank you for that, it made room for me to make a bet of my own."

"Fascinating, "Sharon said rather lamely, but Noah carried on with his gloating

"You should consider yourself lucky. The people that lost the bet to us had to
come here as a horse's back side.

"Oh, yes those two," Sharon said, making a weak gesture at the Weasly twins
who were kaughing with their friend Lee Jordan, no doubt at some other person's
expense.

"Those poor guys got all dressed up, and they still managed not to be the biggest
asses in Gryfyndor."

"you know what, that comment cut straight into the heart, but you wouldn't know
that since you don't have one."

"Oh I'm a cruel heartless Slytherin, like I haven't heard that before. Perhaps you
missorted, you always struck me as a such a snake," Sharon replied.

"Oh that was an original insult. What's that matter, don't like using anything
younger than the age of Merlin?," Noah retorted…

"So I finally see, that you managed to get rid of those cheesy pick up lines,"
Renee said.

"Hey, those lines have picked up many a girl in their day!"

"I think its time that you retire them."

"No, I think they are still useable, you just seem to resist my wonderful charm."

"As flattered as I am with the compliments, its defiantly the lines."

"You know my friends tease me all the time about how bad I am at flirting, but
never the girl."

"Well, better luck the next time. I think you need some practice." After she said
that, formal dance music began to play.

Chad started to walk away, and then turned back to her.

"Hi," he said to Renee, "I was wondering if a perfect angelic lady like yourself,
like to dance with a charming noble knight like myself?"

"You just don't give up do you?" she asked. He nodded, and she looked around
and saw that the skeletons were pairing up people. "Not like I have much of a choice."

"Nope. You don't."
