Chapter 60-Valentines Ball and Pink
Christmas break was at its end and everyone was back to the routine of going to class.
February was quickly coming and Dumbledore had scheduled the very first annual Valentines ball were everyone had to wear red, white and."
"PINK?!" shouted Tara in shock after Dumbledore informed them. "There is no way I am wearing PINK!"
"Tara, calm down." said James
"HOW CAN I CALM DOWN WHEN I HAVE TO WEAR PINK!"
"You don't HAVE to wear pink, you can just wear red and white."
The look on Tara's face said she was trying to come up with a good come- back.
"Red and white mixed together make PINK!"
"Oh my god! PROFESSOR DUMBLEDORE! TARA'S COMPLAINING! CAN SHE WEAR BLACK WITH RED HEARTS.SHE DOESN'T LIKE PINK AND RED PLUS WHITE EQUAL PINK!"
"Fine." said Dumbledore sighing.
Everyone in the great hall was chattering about the ball. The other girls were squealing with joy about the clothes that they were going to wear.
"I'm going to wear my new hot pink dress with large red and white hearts on it! I just got it this summer Lizzie!" said one first year a few seats down from Tara.
Tara started rocking back and forth and cracked. "AHHHHHHHHHHHH" and ran out of the Great Hall.
"That was the greatest exit ever made by Tara.ever" said Amber rolling on the floor laughing. (AN: I can see her doing that.)
Amber, James and Daniel found Tara in the common room 5 minutes later. She was sitting on the floor in front of the fireplace rocking back and forth with her eyes twitching.
"No pink bad, kill, no pink bad kill." she was repeating over and over again.
James walked up and sat in front of her.
"Calm down, calm down." he said kissing her nose. (A/N: awww)
"Calm down? CALM DOWN?!?! HOW CAN I CALM DOWN WHEN I HAVE TO WEAR PINK!" she said standing up so fast it made James fall backwards.
"You don't have to, Dumbledore said you don't have to." said Amber.
Tara said back down and started rocking back and forth. People just coming down from their dorms were staring at her oddly.
"What's her problem?" asked a seventh year boy.
"She.err.there's a Valentines ball and we have to wear pink, red and white.she despises pink." said James.
"ITS GONNA BE SURROUNDING ME!" she shouted.
"But you aren't gonna be WEARING it!" said James
"ITS GONNA BE SURROUNDING ME!" she shouted again and ran up to her dorm. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" she shrieked and ran back down. "Its attacking my dorm! MY DORM!!! Why are the twinks all in MY DORM!!!"
"Dude its my dorm too!" said Amber.
Tara was now back in front of the fire rocking back and forth. "Pink, no, bad, kill."
Amber was curious and went to the dorm. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" she shrieked like Tara did and ran back down and sat with Tara rocking back and forth.
"What is up there?" asked James.
"Hot pinkness." they both said.
James and Daniel shuddered.
"I feel so sorry for you. See.us guys don't wear pink." Said James.
Tara rolled her eyes.
"Ok.wait.guys HERE don't wear pink.so we're safe."
"Ok, my mum told me a story from when she was in year two. They're Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher work pink."
James stared blankly and fell to the ground joining Amber rocking back and forth. "What's up with them?" asked someone coming up from behind Tara. It was Chester.
"Pink happened." Said Tara simply.
"Oh."
"So, what you been up to these days?" asked Tara trying to get James to stand up.
"Well, me and Heather broke up. Malcolm turned on me and won't stop hanging out with them. He hasn't realized that they.oh nevermind. So I just thought I'd come and see what's up with you guys." Said Chester. He couldn't take his eyes off Amber but they weren't happy like they used to, more like sadness that she was with Daniel.
James finally stood up.
"What's up Chaz? It's been forever since I talked to you.and we share a dorm!" said James.
"Yea." said Chester.he was still looking at Amber.
"Your still mad eh?" asked James.
"What? No, I'm getting over it."
"Dude? Are you going to the ball?" asked James.
"I don't know." Sighed Chester sitting down on a chair. "There's no one to go with anymore."
"Well.if your not going.I'm not going." Said James. "We can stay up here.I fixed Tara's CD player to make it work here and I'm sure she has that with her CD's.we can have our own little party."
"Yea, I'll stay back with you. No pink surrounding me." Said Tara. "And I have the CD player. And I also got new CD's!"
"Where are you guys not going?" asked Daniel picking up Amber who was still rocking back and forth.
"The ball. Chaz ain't going, neither am I." Said James.
"Yea, I'll stay behind too, I don't feel like being around pink."
"Aww, but I wanted to go." said Daniel pouting.
"Fine." Said Amber slouching. The ball was just 30minutes away. Amber and Daniel were both ready to go down to the Great Hall.
Amber was wearing a (hhahaha) pink shirt with black pants and a (HAHAHA) pink bow in her hair (LOL!~!!). She didn't look that thrilled about it.who would. Oh yea, twinks. Daniel was dressed in black.cause he was allowed.
"Why do I have to wear pink! Its not fair!" said Amber stomping her foot.
"Have fuuuuunnnn!" called Chaz as Amber and Daniel left the common room.
The common room began slowly emptying. Tara, James and Chester sat at one of the tables and laughed at all the people dressed in pink.
The common room was finally empty when Tara went to get her stereo and CD's.
When she came back down the portrait hole opened and a girl about year 4 came running into the room collapsing on a couch near the fire crying. She had dirty blonde hair with bright green eyes.
James, Chester and Tara just looked at each other puzzled and then walked over to her.
"What's a matter?" asked Tara.
"M-my d-date blew m-me off f-for a S-Slytherin 6th year." She sniffled.
Chester couldn't keep her eyes off her.
"What's your name?" asked James.
"Miranda." She said.
"Well.we're-" started James but he was cut off.
"You're James and Tara. Gryffindor named you the famous couple of the year. Even before you were a couple. But I don't know your name." said Miranda looking over at Chester.
"I'm Chester.you can call me Chaz."
"Nice to meet you.well.I'm going to my dorm.I don't want to disturb what your doing." She said starting to get up.
"Or you don't have to. Here, I'll take you to the ball." Said Chester holding out her hand which she took.
"All right. Are you two coming?" asked Miranda looking over at Tara and James.
"Nah.we're going to stay up here. Have fun." Said James wiggling his eyebrows.
Chester and Miranda left. Tara and James were left alone in the common room.
"So.what should we listen to?" asked Tara.
"You can pick," said James.
"Alright." Said Tara picking up a CD and placing it in the stereo.
[I] Summer air reminds me of all the feelings of your love, And what it was like when we were together, Walking all along the beach, you were never far from my reach, And you held me through the stormy weather, [I]
Tara started singing along as James started dancing with her.
"And I want to fall in love tonight, And I remember when you said "everything's gonna be alright"
Laying in the summer grass, you told me not to talk so fast, As I told you how I feel, You made me feel right at home, You told me I was not alone and you knew just how I feel,
"And I want to fall in love tonight, And I remember when you said "everything's gonna be alright"
I know we talked about it, I just can't get around it, I just want one more night with you,
"And I want to fall in love tonight, And I remember when you said "everything's gonna be alright"
October air reminds me of all the seasons of your love, And what it was like when we were together The smell of fall is everywhere and though it seems, I just don't care, 'cause now you've gone away,
"And I want to fall in love tonight, And I remember when you said "everything's gonna be alright""
