A/N: Thank you all for your lovely reviews! It means so much to me ::sob:: Well on with the story!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"May I have your attention please students?" Professor McGonagall's shrill voice rang throughout the Transfiguration classroom. Slowly the noise died down. Everyone was curious about what she was wanting to say. "Thank you students, now on with what I was going to say. This year there will be a ball at Hogwarts." McGonagall said pausing to give the cheers from the students time to die down.

"Professor." a brown-eyed girl with brown hair in the back said. "If they cancelled the Tri Wizard Tournament three years ago then we wouldn't be having a Yule Ball, wouldn't it?" she asked confused

"This is not the Yule Ball, Ms. Stevens. This is a Ball that we used to have a long time ago, but with all of the...difficulties over the last years we had forgotten all about it and didn't have the time to be concerned." McGonagall stated matter of factly.

"Oh." was all that you heard from Hope Stevens.

"As I was saying." McGonagall continued, " This ball is called the Hogwarts Ball and has a different theme every time it is celebrated. The head boy and head girl will pick the theme and the final decision will be made by the Prefects who will decide by voting. We are looking forward to your ideas." she said nodding toward me.

"Um...professor?" asked Susan Bornes asked.

"Yes Ms. Bornes." McGonagall said.

"Is this ball like a Muggle prom?"
