Chapter Thirteen: The Unexpected News and The Halloween Ball

A/N: No one reviewed my last chapter. I fell so unwanted. :: Sniff Sniff :: lol. Doesn't anyone like it. I hope someone reviews my story today. Anyway here is the next chapter. :: Sniff ::

When they were finished getting dressed they started heading up to the castle. Draco was walking by himself because he told the team to go ahead of him. Hermione came running up behind him and was yelling, 'Draco wait for me. Great game. I can't believe you won. I mean its just that you never won against Harry so I really didn't know how good you were.'

'Draco was looking at her and stated, 'I have always been good, but Harry is really good so I never won a game against him. Oh, and another thing you have a eye lash here.'

'Here.'

'No here,' he said pointing to her right check. She tried desperately to get it. She finally gave up so he lifted his thump to help her. He got it off and they were looking in to each others eyes. He bent slightly to kiss her. They hugged each other and stayed like that for ten minutes when Ron came down looking for them.

'Hey Hermione and Malfoy. Sorry it's a habit. Draco and Hermione its time for lunch come one,' Ron said. He really hadn't meant to call Draco that, but he couldn't help it he always had a little surge of jealousy whenever he saw them together.

They all headed up to the Great Hall. When lunch was over Hermione and Draco went up to their common room with Padma, John, Derek, and Katie. When they got there Hermione and Draco headed up to Hermione's room to listen to the radio. The Ball will be happing in a couple of days so they have to find some songs. Katie and Derek headed up to Katie's room, but John and Padma knew what they were doing they weren't working on anything else. They could also tell because of a weird sound coming from up there. So John and Padma started working on the same thing Draco and Hermione were doing excluding the kissing. Draco headed downstairs around three o'clock in the mourning. Derek stayed in Katie's room for the night doing God knows what. The next couple of days past without any disturbance. Draco stayed in Hermione's room until really late and then five days till before Halloween Katie came home from the Hospital Wing because she threw up like 20 times in the last two days. She said, 'Derek will you please come up to my room I have some news to tell you.'

~* Katie's POV*~

When I heard why I have been blowing chunks the last few days I was really surprised and scared at the same time. She walked to the common room feeling really scared that she was going to have to tell Derek. When she got there she said, 'Derek will you please come up to my room I have some news to tell you.' He got up from the set he was looking really confused. She headed up the stairs she could hear him behind her. At this point she was terrified. 'Um, Derek, I think you should sit down for this. Ok, I went up to Madam Pomfrey as you know and she told me that I was was.' I couldn't finish the sentence.

'Yes, I'm listening.'

'I'm pregnant.'

Derek looked really surprised I guess that wasn't what he was expecting. He was having a hard time breathing so I said, 'Take a few deep breaths and try to calm down.'

'Oh. My. God. You're pregnant. I need to tell the others.' When he was finished saying this he ran down stairs screaming, 'Oh. My. God. I'm going to be a father.'

Hermione and Padma said, 'Katie is it true? Do you know what you are going to do with the baby? Are you ok?'

I couldn't take it anymore I ran up stairs I think I was crying. I don't really remember. Then Derek came up and bent down on his knee and said, 'Will you marry me?'

Since we have been dating for four years I said, 'Yes.'

He was really surprised and asked me, 'Really?'

'Yes.'

~* Derek's POV *~

I was really surprised when she told me that she was pregnant, but since we have been dating for four years and she was pregnant and that I loved her I asked her if she would marry me and she said yes. I was even more surprised that she said yes. I'm really happy about that. So I took the ring out of my pocket and slipped it on her finger. It was a 14k gold band and a big circular ruby. She said, 'Its beautiful thank you.'

~* Normal POV *~

Padma and Hermione were whispering to each other about what else the new news. And Draco and John were looking at each other and in unison said something that sounded a lot like, 'Girls.'

Meanwhile up in Katie's room Derek and Katie were having a very deep conversation. Katie said, 'I need to send an owl to my parents telling them that I'm pregnant and that I'm going to get married.'

Derek said, 'So do I.'

'Derek I have a question were you planning on asking me to marry you before I even told you I was pregnant?'

'Yes, I was. I got the ring last year on the last Hogsmeade trip. I was going to ask you last year and I got scared. I was planning to ask you next week at the Ball, but since this popped up I just had to do it. I love you.'

'I love you to.'

Back down to the common room. 'So do you guys have any songs that you want to use at the dance?' John asked all three of them.

Hermione said, 'Yes, I want to use This Kiss by Faith Hill. And I want to use Vanessa Carlton A Thousand Miles.'

Draco said, 'I want to use the same songs.'

So they discussed what songs they were going to use when Katie and Derek came down with letters in their hands. They said, 'We have to send letters to our parents telling them that we are having a baby and that we're getting married.'

Hermione and Padma said, 'Oh, my, God, you two are getting married.'

'Well we have to go to send these so please excuse us,' Katie said.

Professor Dumbledore came in and said, 'Hello Madam Pomfrey told me that Katie was going to have a baby and I just came by to wish her congratulations. Were is she?'

'She went to send an owl to her parents and Derek went with her,' Padma said.

'Do you guys have any songs you want to play? If you do I need it one day before Halloween. Ok,' Dumbledore said.

'Ok, Professor,' they all said.

So the next week they kept planning the Halloween Ball. They were also excited because that mourning they would be going to Hogsmeade. Hermione would be giving Draco a birthday present because it was his birthday in November. 'I can't believe tomorrow we are going to Hogsmeade then after dinner we are going to our rooms to get ready and then only the third years and up are allowed to go to the Ball. Oh, my, God, what am I gonna wear?' Hermione was exclaiming to Padma.

Draco stated, 'Girls and what they're going to wear. I mean I'm just going to wear my dress robe that I'm going to get in Hogsmeade.'

Hermione was telling Padma, 'I'm going to go to one of the stores and by a dress. I'm going to straighten my hair and then I'm going to put on makeup, but not to much I want to look as natural as possible.'

Padma was looking at her picturing it. She was going to go with John since Katie was going with Derek (no one knew that she was pregnant or that they were getting married yet because she was going to tell everyone at the Ball) and Hermione was going with Draco. Padma said, 'I'm going to wear a bluish dress to the Ball to go with my eyes (A/N I'm kind of guessing on what her eye color is). And I'm going to wear blue eye shadow. I don't know what else you are going to have to help me.'

'Ok, I will help you with what I can. Draco you will not just wear any old dress robe you will wear what I pick out for you. And it needs to mach my dress ok,' Hermione said.

'Ok, ok,' Draco said with just a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

Again Draco and John looked at each other and said, 'Girls.'

'And what will John be wearing for the dance?' Padma asked him looking that if he said the wrong thing that she would kill him.

'I will wear whatever you want me to wear,' John said trying to get out of trouble. Draco gave him the death stare and John said, 'Sorry dude, but I don't want to end up like you with your women yelling at you.'

'Oh, thanks John,' Draco said now with a lot of sarcasm.

'I need to go and give the list of songs to Dumbledore. Draco do you want to come with me?' Hermione stated.

'Yes, Mione I will go with you just to get away from this little liar,' Draco said.

'Hey I can't help it if I don't want to get in trouble,' John said.

So Draco and Hermione headed up to Dumbledore's office. They met him halfway to his office. So Hermione handed Dumbledore the six pieces of paper and told him, 'This is the list that everyone came up with each person came up with there own piece of paper. Some of the songs are the same, but I'm pretty sure you can handle it from here. Can you Professor?'

'Yes, Hermione thank you,' Dumbledore said.

~* In the Gryffindor Common Room the next mourning *~

Draco and Hermione had joined Ron, Harry, Lavender, and Ginny they were all going to have breakfast together. Harry had finally got up enough courage to ask Ginny if she would go to the dance with him and she said yes. She was really happy when he said that because she has had a crush on him since she was ten. And of course Ron and Lavender were going together because they were going out with each other. After breakfast they headed to the Entrance Hall to be checked off a list by Filch. When they got to Hogsmeade all the girls went to the dress shop while the guys went to the Three Broomsticks to have a mug of butterbeer. When the girls came back from shopping and after the guys had three mugs of butterbeer they left to go to a store were the guys picked out their clothes.

When the girls finished picking out what they were going to wear they headed to Honeydukes. After they got all the sweats they could carry they headed to Zonko's to get George and Fred some birthday presents. Hermione told everyone that she had to go and get something. She headed for a store that carried Draco's favorite hair gel. She knew that he would like it because it was his favorite. She then realized that she really didn't know that much about Draco. So she decided to get to know him better by sitting him down during Christmas break and talk to him.

She headed back to the group. When she got there everyone was asking what was in the bag. She said, 'Nothing just some under things.' Draco looked really funny and tried to take the bag from her. She said, 'No, you can't see what's in it.' Draco turned really really red. So red that he was redder than Ron's flaming red hair.

They headed to the Three Broomsticks for lunch. After that they went walking around Hogsmeade until it started raining. Ron said, 'Lets head up to the castle to get out of the rain. And then it will be and hour to dinnertime so lets go head up and during that time we can play chess and I can beet Harry's ass again.'

'Ron,' Lavender, Ginny, and Hermione said.

'Sorry, Mione,' Ron said.

'Mmmhuh,' Lavender said.

'Oh, and Lavender and Ginny,' he added when he saw the look on her face.

Lavender looked at Ron with a weird look and just shock it off. The headed to their rooms and changed. Then when they were finished they headed down to play chess. 'Ron, I think that we should work together so you don't get into a fight with Harry,' Lavender said.

'OK,' Ron said.

'Draco do you want to play together,' Hermione asked Draco.

'Yes, Mione I do,' was her reply from Draco.

'So I guess that leaves me and you Ginny,' Harry said a little sheepishly.

'Yes, I guess so,' Ginny said blushing madly.

~* Harry's POV *~

I felt so happy when she said she would go to the ball with me. I mean Neville and I asked her at the same time and she said, "Sorry Neville, but I'm already going with someone." And when he left she said, "Harry-." Then I said, "I know I know you are already going with someone." So I turned around and was about to leave when she said, "No, silly the person I was going with is you. I want to go to the Ball with you." I felt like kissing her, but I didn't. So then here we are playing chess and I'm about to ask her something, but I'm to shy to do it. She noticed that I had to say something so she said, 'Is there anything you want to ask me?'

I said, 'Yes, will you go out with me?'

She said, 'Like will I be your girlfriend?'

'Yes, like that,' I said kind of scared know that I asked her. What if she said no? After a few seconds of thinking she said, 'Yes, Harry I'll be your girlfriend.'

I almost yelled out in joy I'm so happy. I can't believe she said yes. When the games were finished we all headed down to the Great Hall for dinner. The Great Hall was decorated with the regular candles and pumpkins, but nothing else. I looked over at Mione and she looked crestfallen.

~* Draco's POV *~

When we were finished with dinner the girls ran up and down stairs to get ready. The guys casually walked up the stairs. We went to our rooms and got dressed. About an hour later I was calling up for the girls. Hermione came walking really slowly down the stairs. She looked really pretty. Her dress fit her perfectly as if it was mad for her and just her. It was a pretty baby blue. Her hair was straight and it had little curls at the end. I just couldn't get over how pretty she was. Did I mention she looked really pretty and she is mine. Ok I know I'm getting really protective, but love her and I would do anything to protect her. I would rather die than see her get hurt. She is the only one I have really loved.

~* Ron's POV *~

When Lavender came down I noticed that she was wearing a black dress that showed her curves. Her hair was curled and was placed in a bun. Harry was with Ginny who in my opinion wasn't my sister is a girl that I would flirt with. But I also knew that if I did flirt with her while she was going out Harry that he would beat my ass up.

When Draco and Mione came down I noticed that Mione looked like an angel. I guess I must have had a glazed look on my face because Lavender slapped my arm and told me to say something. I said, 'Mione you look really nice.'

'Thank you Ron.'

When Draco kissed her I felt like tarring them apart and punching him. I got control of myself before I did something.

~* Normal POV *~

They all headed down stairs to the Great Hall. When we got to the Entrance Hall they saw that something was holding them up. It was Katie telling everyone she had some news to tell them. She said, 'Everyone please listen to me before we go in I want to tell everyone something. Derek and I are getting married (there was many applause except from Slytherins) and I'm pregnant.' All the girls giggled even the Slytherin girls.

Ginny looked at Hermione and Draco and said, 'You guys knew about this didn't you?'

They both replied, 'Yes, we did.'

The doors opened and they entered through the biggest pumpkin ever. When they got in they saw the normal stuff like candles and pumpkins floating in the air with dry ice on the floor. When they were through they heard This Kiss on so Draco grabbed Mione's hand and started dancing.

Then Hermione huffing said, 'Draco you really dance good compared to Krum that is.' Draco felt a ping of jealousy then he said to himself, "That doesn't matter anymore she is with me. She broke up with him over the summer." Then the next song came on.

Lyin' in my bed Thoughts in my head Visions of you But I can't get through the night

So pick up the phone I know you' re home You' re playin' with my heart And you that it just ain't' right

It's jut a game of love, love, love Even though it's hard baby I can never give you up

You're the one I'm dreamin' of I can't live with out your love Tonight And It's you that adore You're the one that I live for Inside Of you, I'm dreamin' of you

So I got in the car But I didn't get far 'Cause the radio played A song that I sang with you

Yesterday gone And it maybe true But you know that I'll never get over you

It's just a game of love, love, love And even though hurts me baby I can never give you up

'Cause you're the one I'm dreamin' of I can't live with out you love Tonight And It's you that adore You're the one that I live for Inside Of you, I'm dreamin' of you

You, you gave love Gave us hope and strength To carry on and You gave me faith When I was fallin' down You would pick me up, my love

You're the one I'm dreamin' of I can't live with out your love Tonight And It's you that I adore You're the one I that I live for Baby baby baby bbbbaby

(A/N: Hey I like Celion Dione don't hate. I've liked her since I was like five.)

They kept on dancing for the rest of the night. About five minutes before Dumbledore called it a night Harry finally kissed Ginny. Fred and Gorge let of fireworks at that moment so Harry and Ginny felt like it would work. Mione and Draco were constantly kissing. Dumbledore finally called it a night after the fourth firework. So they headed up to bed and fell asleep.
