AN: Hello everyone! Sorry I havn't updated in so long! But I just got carried away with school and everything...I almost forgot about Love me Forever (mock horror) And Order of the Phoenix finally came out! It was quite good actually. I'm satisfied with it, although I was disappointed in who she killed off. As for you people who didn't read OotP, I've included the list of prefects that JK Rowling had assigned. Apart from that, enjoy this chapter! And thanks for everybody who reviewed.

Prefects

Gryffindor Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger

Slytherin Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson

Ravenclaw Anthony Goldstein and Padma Patil

Hufflepuff Ernie Macmillan and Hannah Abbott

Disclaimer: I own none of the characters but Sylvania. All of the other characters and names are from JK Rowling. I own the plot and only the plot.

Chapter Four : Organization

****

Hermione reached the top of Dumbledore's office, once she opened the door, she began. "Proffesor, I'm—" She paused, looking around the room. Surprised to see all the prefects gathered around Dumbledore's large oak desk. She suddenly remember the prefects meeting that was to be held today. "Ah, Miss Granger. Couldn't be later I suspect?" Dumbledore said, with the usual twinkle in his eyes. "Oh dear, I'm so sorry! I forgot about this prefect meeting.." Hermione trailed off, blushing. She saw Ron give her a curious look. "Then perhaps you would care to join us?" Dumbledore asked. "Oh Yes, yes..of course." She replied, and sat down on one of the chairs.

"As I was beginning to say, I gathered you here today to discuss our upcoming Valentines Day ball," Dumbledore said, pausing to look around at the group. "I thought that if our lovely prefects here could organize it, it would be an excellent idea...seeing that students aren't too fond of the staff's idea of how to decorate the great hall."

"You brought us all the way up here just to tell us that you want us the decorate the great hall?" Draco Malfoy drawled. "Yes, in fact I did Mister Malfoy." Malfoy groaned.

"Now, if anybody else has an objection to this idea, I assume that if you could get together before the ball by a few hours, you would have enough time to decorate the great hall." Dumbledore stated. "Actually, Professor Dumbledore, I was thinking we could decorate the hall the night before the ball. That way we'd have enough time to get ready for the ball. Those in favor of decorating the hall the night before the ball?" Pansy said in a forced sweet voice. She looked around expecting a few hands up, but instead found herself looking at disgusted faces. "Anybody? Nobody at all...?"

"Pansy, I think an hour of time is enough to get ready for the ball, and I don't think decorating the great hall tonight would be a practical idea" Hermione pointed out, glancing at a horrified Pansy. "besides, by breakfast everybody would have seen the decorations. Shouldn't it be a surprise?"

"An excellent point. I don't suppose the students would be satisfied with seeing the same decorations through breakfast, lunch, and the Valentines Ball." Hannah Abbott said. "True, If we had separate decorations for each food break, it would be a good idea." Padma Patil piped up.

"It definitely would be a good idea, but I don't think any of us would like to decorate the great hall three times in a single day. Just look at how huge it is." Ernie Macmillan said. Everybody murmured in agreement.

"Then tomorrow we should decorate it, maybe four hours before the ball starts." Ron said.

"But—" Pansy started. "Yeah, I think that would give us a nice hour or two to decorate the hall." Hermione cut her off, throwing her a superior look.

"Indeed, I think everybody here is pleased with that decision." Dumbledore smiled, not noticing a glaring Pansy Parkinson (And Draco Malfoy, who Ron did not fail to notice).

"Well, I seriously think that if we should plan out the colors we're going to use for the decorations." Anthony Goldstein said. "Obviously pink!" Pansy said, a startled look on her face. "It's Valentines Day, for cupid's sake!"

The girls struggled to keep their faces straight, while the boys looked like they would rather get eaten by the giant squid then see the great hall covered in pink. "We had enough pink in our second year, when Lockhart was here."  Anthony said. "Oh don't remind me of that day" Ron said with a look of disgust on his face.

"Well I thought it was pretty! And those adorable little cupids were so cute!" Padma gushed. Almost all of the boys groaned. Almost all of the boys. "They weren't that bad!" Ernie Macmillan said. Everybody looked at him, dumbfounded. "Don't tell me your g—?" Draco Malfoy started to say. "Anyway," Hannah Abbott said quickly, trying to cover up for her fellow housemate, but not pausing to give Malfoy an angry glare at his rudeness. "I suppose we should gather up together tomorrow after breakfast to decide further details..."

"Although it is a fine idea, I think most of us would like to conclude this meeting with a complete idea of how the hall should look tomorrow at the Valentines Ball." Anthony stated. "Oh alright, which colors should we use for the decorations then?" Hannah said. "Girls! Are you out of your minds! It's written all over the place that it should be pink!" Pansy said, she looked like she wanted to slap somebody. "That nice bright neon pink too!" She went on, but looking around she saw nobody was listening to her but talking to each other in undertones, "Ugh! Why isn't anyone listening to me?" She whined.

"Did you say something?" Hermione said to Pansy from her conversation with Hannah.

"Yes, in fact I did. Before you rudely interrupted me,"

"I did not interrupt you."

"Yes you did!"

"No I didn't!"

"You guys, I think everybody got the point." Padma said. Pansy glared at her. "Anyway, red is the usual color for Valentines Day...I think most the decorations should be red." Padma said. "Yeah with little red candies floating around on top of peoples heads." Hannah added. "But—" Pansy started, Hermione cleared her throat "Don't you guys think red for Valentines Day is a bit, too common?"

"Well, of course it's common but that's the whole point. It's either red or pink, and I'm sure most of us wouldn't like pink..so that just leaves us with red." Padma argued. "I think Hermione's got a point, every year we use red for Valentine's Day, we should surprise everybody with a change." Ron said. "Yes definitely, a change would be good." Anthony Goldstein agreed. Looking around he saw everybody agree with this idea, although Pansy and Padma weren't assured of it.

"Padma? Don't you think a change in decorations for once would be a good idea? I mean it's been six years and all we see is a red and pink covered Great Hall." Anthony told his housemate. "Well, alright...we have been seeing those same colors every year. I think a change will be fine." Padma finally said in agreement. Hermione smiled, "Alright then, what colors should we use?"

Everybody was looking off into space, deep in thought. "What about the four house colors?" Ernie Macmillon said. "It's a good idea, but then it wouldn't be like Valentines Day...just like a normal feast." Padma said. "Too true..." Ron muttered. "I know, we can use cream colors...in house colors. Cream yellow, cream blue, cream..would it be red or pink?" Hannah asked, blushing. "Pink" Hermione said, almost straight away. "Alright, cream pink, and cream green. What do you guys think?"

"It's a good idea but why do Gryffindor get pink?" Ron asked, clearly disgusted. "Ron, if maroon is blended with white you'd get pink...you can't change the mixture of colors." Hermione said, reasonably. Malfoy sniggered. "What's wrong with pink?" Pansy said. Everybody glared at her. "Well I think that's organized. Cream colors will do. I think it's an exceptional idea, and most of the students should be satisfied with the decision," Dumbledore said, the tips of his fingers connected, a smile stretched across his face. "I will get the house elves to get us collect the decorations for the great hall, I think three o'clock will be a good time to meet up to start decorating."

"Yes three o'clock would be fine." Hermione said, getting up to leave. "Have a good day." Dumbledore said and went up to his room. As everybody got up Malfoy looked around the room, touching and inspecting the objects on Dumbledore's desk. Hermione gave him a final disapproving glance before heading down to the common rooms.

Well, I'm finally done with this chapter, yay! I think it was quite boring though, though I wanted to put something in between the Valentines Ball. I have some news for you, although I know most of you will be disappointed with the decision. Next chapter will be the final chapter of Love Me Forever. I think it's the best idea for the story. I'll be posting it in a few days time...don't worry, it's already finished anyway! I'll skipped the decorating of the great hall because it's not very interesting. Anyway, please review! I really want to finish the story quickly, and your reviews will urge me to post faster. Thank you and see you at the next chapter: The Valentines Ball :)
