Tragic Tales of Teenagers
Chapter Twelve
Party Time
It was day two at Hogwarts. An announcement was made bright and early that morning at breakfast that there would be a dance tonight in the Great Hall. It was to celebrate everyone coming back to Hogwarts. It wouldn't be anything too fancy, but there would be a live band. Rumors flew through the corridors about the dance. They talked of what band would be playing mostly.
Today was mostly just a day for all new students to explore the castle and for everyone to settle down for another year of learning. Everyone was excited to find out who the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher would be. Whoever it was, wasn't at the feast last night. Their chair was empty up at the table where all of the other teachers sat.
"I am so glad we all got our hair and nails done back in Diagon Alley!" Allie told Whitley, Libbie, and Ginny. They were in the Great Hall: still eating breakfast.
Ginny guzzled down the rest of her chocolate milk and said, "Yeah, but are we going to wear our new dresses? I figured we would wear them to a more formal dance."
"We are going to wear regular clothes, our dress robes are for something else I suppose," Libbie said.
"Oh my goodness! What am I going to wear?" Allie shrieked.
All of the girls met up in the Gryffindor common room to show each other what they'd be wearing. Allie was going to wear a mini skirt with a tube top, Ginny would wear a blue tank top with jeans, and Whitley hadn't decided what she would wear yet.
"How can you be like that? You always wait until the last minute to decide stuff!" Allie told Whitley. Whitley replied with a shrug and they walked off down to the Great Hall.
Some decorations were appearing out of nowhere on the walls and someone was setting up some instruments up on the stage. It seemed like it would be a pretty boring party but it was better than nothing.
"Is my baby getting ready for the dance?" Fred said as he came up and put his arm around Allie. Allie smiled.
Two hours later, students starting filling into the Great Hall. A boy band, Frezno, was starting to sing some songs. Whitley rolled her eyes, she hated boy bands, especially Frezno. Allie and Fred were dancing together. Ginny was pigging out at the buffet. It was their replacement for dinner. Ginny had gained quiet a bit of weight since the summer, but she didn't notice.
Ron and Harry were hollering rude remarks to the band members. Whitley went and sat down by George.
"What's wrong?" Whitley asked George, noticing the sad expression on his face. George pointed at Fred and Allie.
"It's them. Ever since they've gotten together, I've been all alone. Fred and I used to be a team, you know? We'd do everything together. Now he barely says two words to me," George said.
Whitley looked at him sympathetically. She wished she could say something to make him feel better, but there was nothing that would help.
"Want to dance?" Draco said. Whitley looked up.
"No, there is something I have to do," Whitley said as she got up. She headed to her dormitory and dug down into the bottom of her trunk. "Where is the bloody thing?" Then she found it. It was a long invisibility cloak that she'd had forever.
She threw it over her self and became invisible. Carefully, she crept out of the castle and into the forest. It was darker and eerier than she had remembered from last year. She had been into the forest so many times before, but it seemed different every time.
The trees towered over her and the moon shined weakly through the canopy. Something howled far away.
"Lumos!" Whitley said as a beam of light shot from her wand. She pulled off the cloak and wandered through the woods. Then she saw it, another beam of light. It was thin, the type of light that came from wands. She walked towards it and saw her father.
"Sirius?" Whitley asked.
"Follow me," said the man. He led her towards a small house. After opening the door and turning on the lights, he hung his cloak and looked at Whitley.
"Wow. You've grown up so much. The last time I saw you was when you were a little baby," Sirius said smiling. Whitley didn't know what to say. She was in shock of seeing her father after all these years.
"I guess you want to know some stuff. Just let me explain. When you mother and I had you, it was like a miracle. But your mom died during your birth. Her name was Leigh," Sirius said as he showed Whitley a picture of a woman with long brown hair.
"That's my mother?" Whitley asked. Sirius nodded.
"I realized soon after that I wouldn't be able to raise you myself. There were also some people after me so you would've been in danger. I am so sorry. I sent you to an orphanage to stay until you were old enough to live on your own. I see you are fine now," Sirius said with a tear in his eye. He reached out and hugged her tightly.
"So why are you just now telling me this?" Whitley asked.
"I wanted to wait until you were old enough to understand. I wanted you to be able to protect yourself in case anything happened," Sirius replied. After an hour of talking, Whitley walked back to the castle with the invisibility cloak over her. The party was still going on. Harry and Ron had taken off their shirts and were dancing around to country music.
Allie walked into the boy's dormitory with a dark red silky nightgown on. It was a spaghetti strap nightgown. Fred was lying in his bed with a sheet over his lower half. He grinned when he saw Allie. She slowly walked towards him and looked at him seductively.
She got into the bed and kissed his lips softly. He closed his eyes and let her kiss his bare chest. He grabbed her butt and slid off her nightgown. After she playfully laughed, he got on top of her.
After thirty minutes of 'playing' under the covers, they dormitory door flew open.
"What the fuck?" screamed Ron.
Allie screamed and pulled the covers up over her more. Fred jumped up with a different sheet over him.
"Ron! We were a little busy here!" Fred hollered.
"Well I can see that!" Ron said. He looked at Allie and shook his head. "And I thought you were better than this!" Ron stormed out and slammed the door behind him.
"I should go," Allie said.
"No! We've got three hours before the party downstairs ends. Let's finish our own party," Fred said as he smiled mischievously. He pulled something out from under his bed. It was the book Allie had gotten at Flourish and Blotts and a board game called Down and Dirty. Allie looked at him and smiled too. Needless to say, their party was a much more eventful than the one going on downstairs.
