Riley never thought that Tara would remember what she said about 2 weeks
ago in the corridor where she caught her and Malfoy scheduling a date.
Their date went on "fine" Tara told them but Riley refused to know exactly
what happened. All she knew was that they had dinner on the Astronomy Tower
roof with a meal that Malfoy got out of nowhere. The second part Riley
couldn't even bear to believe: Malfoy took her on a broom ride above the
Hogwarts grounds.
"This is why I don't want to know the details. Just the main events." Riley told them when Leilani, Jhene, and Becky all begged to tell her.
"Please!" Becky begged.
"No." Riley replied back and that was it. There was no telling her the story because it was sure as hell she wouldn't listen to one word more or less one syllable of it.
~~~***~~~
"So guess what?!" Leilani said running into the girls' dormitory and startling Riley, Tara, Jhene, and Becky.
"What's up Lei?" Riley asked calmly despite the fact that Leilani's entrance caused her to run a mark down her Transfiguration essay. She supposed she could do a charm on it later.
"I was just at Dumbledore's office and I got him to let the school have a dance. I'm in charge of the dance committee." Leilani panted, her hands on her knees.
"Lei, that's something we do at Jefferson. Not here at Hogwarts. I bet these kids don't even know how to dance." Tara complained in grief.
"Yeah. Even though I completely agree with Tara you have to admit you wouldn't want these kids to think that the way Julienne dances is the right way. That'll make them a laughing stock if they ever go to a New York dance." Riley said smiling.
"Ha! Ha! That's so true. Julienne dances like she thinks she knows." Jhene laughed.
"But watch her try and get all the attention at the dance." Becky said.
"Whatever you guys. Can you all please just be in the committee with me?" Leilani begged.
Riley immediately answered, "Sure." She knew Leilani would get really mad if she didn't and she would probably assign her to do decorations and stuff which she loved doing.
"Alright." Tara said.
"Yeah. Sure."
"I'm in."
"Yes!" Leilani celebrated for a brief second. "Riley, you're on decorations, ("Yes!" Riley said to herself.) Becky, you could set the punch table, finger foods, all that." Leilani thought for a moment and then finally decided what Jhene could do. "Jhene, you and Tara set up anything that Riley needs help on."
"What?"
"How come?"
"Well, I bet she has a lot of helium filled balloons for you guys to blow up." Leilani said knowing that they loved the way their voices squeaked when they sucked in the helium.
"Yes!"
"But, how are we going to get helium tanks over here?" Tara asked.
"No worries. Dumbledore already sent a letter to a wizarding party supply place. They have helium tanks that they could send over." Leilani said confidently.
"So where's the dance going to be?" Becky asked.
"In the Great Hall. Since the dance isn't till Friday we have 5 days to prepare. Everything has to go on in this dormitory though. All the stuff will be moved to the Great Hall on Friday night for the dance." Leilani explained.
"And what's our theme?" Riley questioned.
"Muggle-wear!" Leilani announced.
"Let's see the look on Malfoy's face." Jhene said.
"No doubt." Riley continued.
Tara groaned.
"Exactly how are all of these people going to know what Muggle-wear is? Except the Muggles that is."
"We'll have it ready for them." Leilani said looking over at Riley.
"What? NO! Lei! You can't!" Riley said aloud.
"Come on! When was the last time your mom ignored an order this big? And she never even asks to pay! She loves designing clothes so much she won't ask for money for an order this big!" Leilani complained.
Riley grunted and then sighed. "Alright. I'll send her mail."
"Thanks Ri!"
"You better move the date to next Friday then. My mom won't have that many done by this Friday." Riley said confidently.
"Alright. I'll see what I can do." Leilani said. "Now, our dates!"
"DATES?" they all yelled.
"This is why I don't want to know the details. Just the main events." Riley told them when Leilani, Jhene, and Becky all begged to tell her.
"Please!" Becky begged.
"No." Riley replied back and that was it. There was no telling her the story because it was sure as hell she wouldn't listen to one word more or less one syllable of it.
