**Lunch Time after potions class**
"So who was your match Mione?" Harry said before stuffing a piece of chicken into his mouth.
"Oh don't worry about that," Hermione said trying to ignore him.
"Oh, come on Hermione," said Ron
"Guess what? The Prefects are going to plan a dance. Isn't that great?" Hermione said trying desperately to change the subject. She couldn't have them find out. Ron and Harry would definitely have a hissy fit.
"Really! That is great!" Harry said with excitement.
"What is the theme?"
"I don't know we need to have a meeting to discuss it. I actually need to mention it to everyone now" Hermione said getting up from the Gryffindor table. She laughed to her friends. They did not even notice she changed the subject and got away with it.
Hermione walked over to the Ravenclaw table. "Hey Justin, we are going to have a Prefect meeting after lunch. Meet us outside of the Great Hall."
"Alright see you then"
Hermione went to Mandy and told her the same thing. Now was the part she wasn't looking forward to, telling Malfoy.
"What are you doing over here Granger?" Malfoy said giving her a disgusted look.
"I just needed to tell you that we are having a prefect meeting after lunch outside the Great Hall" Hermione said starting to walk away
"And trust me, I would rather eat slugs than come here willingly." Hermione said looking back at him.
"Don't worry, Weasel has already done that!" Malfoy said as she walked away with Crabbe and Goyle snickering.

Lunch was finally ending so now Hermione could tell everyone about the ball.
Once all of the Prefects were out of the Great Hall Hermione started talking about the dance right away.
"I feel that we need a dance. Something to get everyone excited. Don't you think?"
Everyone nodded.
"What should we call it?" Mandy asked.
"Well I'm not sure. I wanted to hear what you all had in mind."
"Well, we should make a theme before we name it." Justin said
"Yeah, any ideas?"
"How about Mardi Gras?" said Mandy.
"What is Mardi Gras?" said Draco.
"It is a huge festivity where there are carnivals and masquerade balls a many parades. I think that would be great! We could call it the Mardi Gras Ball," said Hermione enthusiastically.
"Lets go mention it to Dumbledore now," said Mandy as the four prefects walked towards Dumbledore's office.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"This sounds like a marvelous idea," said Dumbledore standing up from his chair. "Now you all just need to plan it. You must have a day, time, attire, decorations, food and music. I would like this all to be planned out by next Friday, that gives you twelve days. I suggest you get to work on it." Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eye.
"Thank you so much Professor!" Hermione said appreciatively as the four of them walked out of Professor Dumbledore's office,
"Alright, how about we go to the library after dinner to start planning it out." Hermione said. She was so excited to be planning this ball.
"Sounds good, see you all then," Justin said walking off.
"Okay," Draco said walking towards the dungeons.
"See you later Hermione," Mandy said walking towards her common room.
"This should be fun," Hermione said to herself wondering if she was being sarcastic or not.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione was sitting in the library alone with her small crimson notebook in front of her. She had finished dinner as quickly as she could since she was so excited to get started on the plans for the Mardi Gras Ball. She began to think about decorations as Malfoy walked in.
"Hi Hermione," he said in a way that was deffinetly not typical Malfoy.
Hermione was looking at him strangely What's with him? He never calls me Hermione.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Draco said sitting across from her.
"Since when do you call me Hermione?"
"Well I thought it was your name"
"Oh forget it." She realized it was pointless to argue with him.
Finally Justin and Mandy came into the library.
"Okay lets divide the work so we would get it done faster." Hermione said taking out a sheet of paper to write down the jobs.
They started figuring out who would have which jobs the people would have. Finally they could came up with this:
Day: Tuesday November 15 Time: 5:30 in the Great Hall
Jobs
Attire-Hermione and Mandy Food- Draco and Justin Decorations- Hermione and Draco Music-Justin and Mandy
This plan seemed to be okay with everyone so they decided to begin working on the plans. For the next two days the pairs would work on attire and food. The two days after that they will work on decorations and music. On Saturday they will go over everything together and finally on Sunday give their ideas to the professors.
Mandy and Hermione started right away on attire.
"This is so exciting!" Mandy said sitting in the library with Hermione.
"Yea, I can't wait." Hermione said looking at her notebook. The page was filled with ideas for costumes. They decided all of the people attending would wear a mask, which would be given to them just before the ball. This way they will all be disguised. (Mandy and Hermione thought that would be interesting) Everyone would be able to wear dressy muggle or wizard clothing (suiting the theme of course). The girls also jotted down the types of masks they would get. They were thinking of purples, blues, golds, silvers and deep reds. They wanted the masks to be covered in sparkles and rhinestones. Since they were done they started contemplating over what they should all wear. As the girls were talking Justin and Draco came to their table in the library.
"Well it looks like your done," Malfoy said looking at Hermione's notebook.
"Guess this means we will be able to get a head start on the other things tomorrow," Justin said excitedly. (He could not wait to work with Mandy; it was obvious he liked her.)
"I guess we can meet each other here after dinner?" Hermione said looking over at Malfoy.
"Sure, I guess," said Malfoy as if he didn't care. But he did. He was just as excited as Justin because he would get to be with Hermione working on decorations for three days, without Potter and Weasley or Crabbe and Goyle. It would be just him, Hermione and the library.
