CHAPTER 12

"Wow, they've never held off punishment this long." A student whispered. The students now had sobered up, thanks to Hermione who hit them all with Sobering Charms a number of times. "Yeah, now we've done it." Another one whispered. "Everybody… We can pull through, we just need to run and pack our stuff and try to fly out!" Neville shouted. Everybody stared. "Well its that or listen to Howlers for a year, or get suspended, or… THE FORBIDDEN FOREST!" he squeaked.

Solana, Sarah, Katz, Beth, Liv, and Jen shrugged. They didn't really care. At least they changed the school dramatically, it was now Tuesday morning, and no one was eating. "Well, I don't care, this isn't good, not even for us." Olivia said, she picked up a spoon and was staring at it. "Sure, ok… So we take the punishment?!" Sarah yelped. "No, we just don't stick around." Beth said, leaning her head on the table. "Aha! The students have calmed down now." Dumbledore said, the other teachers peered over his shoulder from the doorway. "This is a harsh punishment, and we can't expel you all… Otherwise there would be no school." Dumbledore said calmly.
A wave of excitement rolled through the room. "Nothing good of course," he continued, the students shut up. "All house points will be removed from every house."

Without thinking, Kat jumped up on the table. "WHOOO HOOO!!!" she shouted. Everyone stared blankly. "What?" she asked sheepishly sitting down. "Well, at least Gryffindor can't win the House Cup." Jen shrugged. "Hey!" Sarah smacked her jokingly. At this moment, every member in the Steam Team started clapping, and stood up. "YAAAAAAAAY!!!!" They yelled, and jumped up on the Slytherin table, and smiled at Dumbledore. "THANK YOU!" Solana said, blowing him a kiss, just before she pulled Draco on the table, who was paper white. Draco's eyes grew, and this was too much for Katz and Solana, who thought it was just so cute how big his eyes looked, and kissed him on both cheeks. Solana released her hold on his shirt collar, and he tripped off the table and promptly he began wiping his mouth off.


Pansy looked murderous. "You are going to die Potter!" she screamed at Katz, who was grinning ear to ear. It was Wednesday. The Wedding Wednesday to be exact.

The Events:

"Today, is the first annual Wedding Wednesday, and for some reason I am keeping this day of the week, and this one only." Dumbledore said merrily that day at breakfast. The normal buzzing ceased, as all attention was drawn to him. "I shall draw four names out of the hat. Two marriages today." He smiled, and gestured to two hats on the table in place of a plate or a cup. "Now, remember one person could marry another person from another house, so be still!"

Beth flexed her fingers anxiously. "Who are you hoping for?" A girl asked her, on her right. "Oliver Wood." She answered and crossed her fingers.

Katz and Solana looked on intently, they were both wishing that Draco would end up for either one, just as long as one of **them** got him, no one else. "Well, alright since I see you are all dying to see who gets who, the first couple will be…" Dumbledore reached a hand into the hats. "Beth K. And… Oliver W." Beth was now blushing furiously, smiling, and giggling. Oliver went over, and shook her hand, and took her outside. "And the second couple shall be… Draco Malfoy… And Katz Potter." He called out. Solana screamed a very girly scream, and hugged her and smiled (think beauty pageants etc!). Katz smiled, and shook her hand, then went to sit on Draco's lap. Draco looked as if someone had force fed him lime, that was attached to a steam roller.

It was now time to go to the dormitories and start getting ready for bed. Draco was leading her down to the Slytherin Common rooms. "Well at least we get to have a honey moon, I mean we are supposed to be married aren't we?" Katz' face grew red, she stopped at his side and whirled him around so he was looking at her. "Uh oh… I was thinking out loud wasn't I?" he asked slowly. She nodded, and proceeded to drag him outside. "Uh, Katz, what are you doing!? We have to be in bed soon!!!" he cried out, but she didn't stop before they were by the Lake. "You want honey moon?! Well I suppose a tree would be **great** company for a boy…" with that she proceeded to tie him to the tree. He yelped, and pouted for a while, but realized it was useless, and started a long string of un polite words to Katz retreating form.

Solana awoke to the sound of screaming. "That's odd, I haven't done anything today…" she thought, slipping her feet into her ducky slippers, and put on her robe. After making it to the Great Hall, realizing she was late, and Draco was missing, she turned around and ran out to the Lake. "Draco! What are you doing out here?!" she yelled, hands on hips giving him a disappointed look. He smirked. "Well I didn't come out here on my own… Your friend took me." Solana shrugged and sat down. "So what'd you do?" she was now starting to be amused. "Nothing, I was just sayin- Oh never mind, nothing I say helps anyway…." He glared at her. Solana cocked her head to the side. "You ok?" she asked sheepishly. Draco rolled his eyes, "Of course I'm ok… There isn't a thing wrong… Well other THEN I'M TIED TO A TREE AND I HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE LAST NIGHT!" he shouted. Solana snorted. "Well if you're going to be that way, I suppose I'll just be going…." She walked away very slowly. "WAIT! WAIT SOLANA!" he called. She stopped but did not turn around. "Yes?" Draco cleared his throat. "If you, er… Untie me, I'll give you something, anything!" Solana had a thoughtful look on her face when she had turned around, and came back over. "Yes… A date to the Yule Ball…" she smiled. Draco looked downcast. "fine.." and she untied him.
